How to reach Fort Lauderdale Porta Pros
Phone is fastest. Call us and describe what you need: the job type, the number of workers or guests, the dates you need service, and any access constraints on your site. We'll walk you through unit options, pricing by duration, and delivery schedules. If you're unsure how many portable toilets you need, we size jobs based on occupancy and OSHA 1926.51(c) requirements, which specify facility ratios by worker count. Most Fort Lauderdale construction sites and events rent equipment on a weekly or monthly basis. For emergency requests, call directly, we keep units in stock and can often place one within hours. A standard portable toilet holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank and stands about 92 inches tall.
Email works for complex jobs or requests that need written quotes. Send site photos, dimensions, access details, and your timeline. Fort Lauderdale Porta Pros responds to email within one business day. For restroom trailers or jobs needing multiple service types, say, toilets plus dumpsters and temporary fencing, email gets your whole scope on one page. You'll receive a quote and can approve, modify or ask questions before we confirm a date.
Our service territory covers Fort Lauderdale and nearby towns including Oakland Park (3.2 miles north), Lauderdale Lakes (5.1 miles northwest), Pompano Beach (8.4 miles north), and Plantation (9.1 miles west). Delivery fees vary by distance and duration. For sites in Fort Lauderdale proper, expect standard delivery on weekly, monthly or event rentals. Ask about weekend rates if your job runs Saturday or Sunday, weekend portable toilets carry a premium. If placement in the public right of way is part of your plan, confirm requirements with the city before finalizing your order.
What to tell us when you call
Start with your job type: construction, special event, wedding, film production, farm work or disaster relief. Each drives different unit counts. A construction site with 40 workers needs at least two toilets under OSHA rules. An outdoor wedding or festival with 200 guests might need four to six units plus a deluxe or luxury trailer if budgets allow. Give us your dates, start and end, not just duration, so we can confirm availability and schedule pickups. Describe site access: Are there gates? Is the ground paved, dirt or gravel? Can a truck reach the placement spot, or does equipment need to be carried? Fort Lauderdale Porta Pros factors in site conditions when quoting and scheduling. If your crew needs handwashing stations because you're applying paints or coatings, say so; OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities where employees handle harmful contaminants. Mention if ADA accessibility is required, we rent ADA-compliant portable toilets that meet ADA Standards section 213.2 for clustering and door clearance.
Questions we hear often
What if I need something added mid-job?
Call us and we'll adjust. If your crew grows, we add toilets. If a dumpster fills early, we swap or add capacity. Fort Lauderdale Porta Pros schedules extra service visits or changes without penalty if you need them within reason. Most equipment operates on a pay-for-what-you-use model, so adding a week or service call won't retroactively charge you for days you didn't use it.
Do you service weekends?
Yes. Weekend rates apply if your rental includes Saturday or Sunday. Call ahead because weekend slots fill faster, especially in peak seasons. We schedule weekend pickups and service calls for Friday after-hours or first thing Monday, depending on your preference.
How often does a septic tank get pumped?
Typical residential septic tanks need pumping every 3 to 5 years, depending on tank size and household size. Commercial grease interceptors are pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. Fort Lauderdale Porta Pros handles both routine pumping and emergency calls when tanks back up.
Can a portable toilet fit through a narrow gate?
A standard unit is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground. Measure your access width first. If you have tight space, tell us, we may be able to use a narrower unit or place it outside the gate and extend a privacy screen. Ask when you call.
What's included in dumpster rental?
Delivery, placement, pickup, and disposal of your load. Weight limits apply and vary by dumpster size. We cannot accept hazardous waste, tires, or certain other materials. Ask about weight limits and what goes in a dumpster when you get a quote.
