How many porta potties do I need for my event or job site?
The answer depends on how many people you're serving and for how long. Construction sites follow OSHA 1926.51(c), which requires 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up to 200. For events, a typical guideline is 1 unit per 50 to 75 people for a four-hour event. If your people will be there all day or overnight, add more. Women's restrooms need roughly twice the capacity of men's. Read our detailed guide on how many porta potties you need for specific scenarios. Warren job sites and events have different densities, so call us with your headcount and duration and we'll size it right.
What's the difference between standard and deluxe porta potties?
A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground. It's a single-occupancy toilet with a seat, paper dispenser and hand sanitizer. A deluxe flushable porta potty has a flushing mechanism that works like a low-flow toilet, a larger mirror, improved ventilation and better lighting. Both sit about 92 inches tall. Deluxe units cost more but they feel cleaner and smell better. Pick standard if you need volume and budget matters. Pick deluxe if you're hosting clients, weddings or upscale events. We service both types on the same schedule.
How often do portable toilets get cleaned?
Service frequency depends on your rental term and how many users you have. One service visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40-hour week is the baseline interval under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the industry sanitation standard. For wedding restroom rental and special events, daily service keeps units fresh. Busier sites need more frequent service. Event restroom rental often runs daily service. We pump the holding tank, restock paper and soap, clean the seat and walls, and deodorize. If your site or event has heavy use, ask us about twice-weekly or daily service when you call for a quote.
Do I need an ADA accessible porta potty?
Yes, if your event or workplace will have guests or employees with disabilities. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires that where single-user portable toilet units are clustered, at least 5 percent, and never fewer than one unit, must be accessible. An ADA accessible unit has a 36-inch clear opening, grab bars, a 60-inch turning circle inside, and a ground-level ramp with a slope no steeper than 1:12. It costs more than a standard unit but it's the law if you serve the public or have disabled staff. We rent ADA units throughout Warren and the surrounding region.
What can't go in a roll-off dumpster?
Hazardous materials like paint, oil, batteries and asbestos are prohibited. Most electronics, appliances and tires also can't go in. Heavy items like concrete, soil and metal have weight limits depending on the dumpster size. Check our detailed list of what cannot go in a dumpster before you load. If you're unsure, ask us. We'll tell you what's allowed and help you find the right roll-off dumpster rental for your project.
How often should I pump my septic tank?
A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. Larger families or smaller tanks need more frequent pumping. If you notice slow drains, backups or wet spots in the yard, call for pumping right away. We offer septic pumping service and septic tank cleaning throughout Warren. Don't wait for a failure. Regular maintenance keeps your system working and saves money on repairs.
What do I need for a construction handwashing station?
OSHA requires washing facilities on construction site services where employees are engaged in applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1). 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) says washing facilities must include soap and towels or a hand drying device. Hand sanitizer alone does not meet the standard. We rent portable handwashing stations that come with hot and cold water, soap and paper towels. They're self-contained, easy to position, and we service them weekly. We also rent portable sinks and storage containers for larger projects. Ask about our handwashing requirements guide for more details.
