How many portable toilets does a job site need?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the ratio: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up, and one per 50 workers at 200 or more. Events count guests and hours instead of workers. A standard porta potty rental covers most work sites. If you are applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities, and per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) they must include soap and a hand drying device, not hand sanitizer alone. A handwashing station rental meets that need.
What is the difference between standard, deluxe and ADA units?
A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, standing roughly 92 inches tall. A deluxe flushable porta potty adds an on-board sink, a flushing toilet and a roomier interior. ADA-accessible units meet ADA Standards section 213.2: where single-user units are clustered, at least 5 percent, and never fewer than one, must be accessible, with a 32-inch minimum clear door opening per section 404.2.3. Pick standard for basic job sites, deluxe for offices or events, and an ADA accessible porta potty for public events or any location where disabled visitors will be present.
How fast can you deliver?

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. A grease interceptor is pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. If you smell sewage near the tank or drain field, call for septic tank pumping. Never pour fats or oils down the drain; they clog the tank and cost hundreds to clear.
Do I need a permit to place a unit?
On private property you usually do not. Placement in the public right of way in Pasadena needs confirming with the city first, and we will not name a rule we cannot verify. The porta potty permit requirements page explains what to check before you set a unit on a street or sidewalk.
How does service and cleaning work?
We deliver, service on a schedule, and haul away at the end. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 puts the baseline at one visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, and we scale from there for busy sites and events. See how often are porta potties cleaned for the schedule.
