Frequently asked questions

How many portable toilets do I need for my event or site?

The count depends on how many people you're serving and how long they'll be there. For construction sites, OSHA 1926.51(c) requires 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers up to 20, and 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. Events in Trenton differ because people use facilities differently than crews do. A wedding restroom rental or festival restroom rental typically needs 1 unit per 75 to 100 guests for a 4-hour event. Contact us with your headcount and duration and we'll size it right.

What's the difference between standard and deluxe portable toilets?

A standard porta potty holds 60 to 70 gallons and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, standing roughly 92 inches tall. It has a flush, seat, urinal and toilet paper dispenser. A deluxe flushable porta potty adds features like a larger capacity holding tank, a hand sanitizer dispenser, improved ventilation and interior lighting. Both get serviced per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, which sets the industry baseline for maintenance intervals. Deluxe units cost more but work well for customer-facing events in Trenton where appearance matters. Standard units handle job sites and temporary work areas cost-effectively.

How much does a porta potty rental cost per day, week or month?

Rental pricing varies by unit type and duration. Porta potty rental cost ranges from about $100 to $350 per day for standard units, depending on delivery distance and service frequency. Weekly rentals run $130 to $500, and monthly rentals span $125 to $325. ADA accessible units are priced higher because they meet ADA Standards section 213.2, which requires 5 percent of clustered single-user units, and never fewer than one, to be accessible. Delivery fees, service visits and tank pumping add to the total. We'll quote you a full price once you tell us your location in Trenton, rental duration and any special requirements.

How often should my septic tank be pumped?

A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. If you have a grease interceptor, it gets pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. Warning signs you need septic pumping service sooner include slow drains, gurgling sounds, sewage backups or wet spots over the tank. We handle emergency septic service in Trenton if you're in a bind.

What's required for handwashing stations on a construction site?

OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities where employees apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides or work with other harmful contaminants. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) specifies that handwashing stations need soap and towels or a hand drying device; hand sanitizer alone doesn't meet the rule. A handwashing station rental from Trenton Porta Pros includes a tankage system, hot and cold water options and supplies. We deliver portable sink rental units to job sites across Trenton and can service them weekly.
