Who We Are
Fort Lauderdale Porta Pros operates from a single location in Fort Lauderdale. We're not a national chain or a franchise. The people who answer the phone are the people who show up with the truck. Every unit leaves our yard serviced and ready. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, so it fits into tight job sites without eating up your whole workspace. We service weekly as a baseline, consistent with ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 standard practice for up to 10 users over a 40-hour week, though we'll adjust the schedule to match what you actually need. We also keep ADA-accessible units in stock. Where a single-user cluster sits on a job, at least 5 percent of the units must be accessible under ADA Standards section 213.2, and we handle that requirement from the start so you don't have to guess about ADA restroom requirements.
What We Rent
Fort Lauderdale Porta Pros stocks six core product lines. Standard portable toilets are the workhorse for construction and outdoor events. Deluxe flushable units have a foot-flush valve and a matte black interior, cutting odor and giving a less industrial feel. ADA-accessible restrooms meet accessibility standards with a minimum clear door opening width of 32 inches and a 60-inch turning circle inside, as required by ADA Standards sections 404.2.3 and 304.3.1. We also rent roll-off dumpsters for demolition and renovation debris, storage containers for equipment and materials, and restroom trailers with multiple stalls for larger crews and events. We offer septic pumping service and grease trap pumping, letting us handle both temporary and permanent sanitation needs across Fort Lauderdale.
How We Work
You call with a date and a job type. We ask how many people, how long you need it, and where the unit sits. If the job needs a construction site services setup, we confirm whether placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city; permit rules differ and we'll guide you to the right department. Delivery usually happens within 24 hours. We service on a schedule you set: weekly is standard, but event restroom rental might need daily service, and long rentals in Fort Lauderdale often move to monthly. Each service call includes pumping, waste treatment, and restocking of paper and soap. We can serve Oakland Park (3.2 miles north), Lauderdale Lakes, and Pompano Beach (8.4 miles north) just as quickly as Fort Lauderdale itself. If you need emergency porta potty rental, we keep units staged for rapid deployment.
How many units does a job site actually need?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the minimum for how many porta potties you need: 1 toilet for every 20 workers or fewer, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal for every 40 workers from 20 up to 200. At 200 or more, the ratio shifts to 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers, per OSHA portable toilet requirements. We use those numbers as the floor, not the ceiling. A crew working 10-hour days in heat will use more. A site where workers spread across multiple areas benefits from units in each zone, following porta potty placement guidance.
Do you service on weekends?
Yes. Weekend service costs more than weekday, and you'll see that reflected in your quote. We staff weekend calls year-round, even when the site itself is shut down. If a holiday falls mid-week, we confirm the schedule with you before delivery.
What's the difference between a standard unit and deluxe?
A deluxe unit has a foot-flush valve instead of a push-button, which reduces contact and odor. The interior is matte black instead of light plastic, which feels less industrial and hides stains better. Both hold the same 60 to 70 gallons. Deluxe costs more per day, per week, or per month. We use whichever fits your budget and the job's tone.
Can you deliver to a residential renovation?
Absolutely. Homeowners doing home renovation in Fort Lauderdale rent from us as often as contractors do. A unit on the property keeps your bathroom free for the crew, and weekly service keeps the smell and mess off your hands. We'll position it where the landscaper or the neighbor can't see it, guided by our porta potty placement guide, if that matters to you.
What if the job runs longer than I thought?
Call us and we'll adjust. A week-long rental that becomes two weeks doesn't reset the clock; you won't pay two separate weekly rates. We charge what the total duration warrants, which is always better than daily rates stacked up.
