How many portable toilets does my construction site need?
It depends on your crew size. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers up to 200, and 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. A small crew of 12 needs just one standard porta potty rental. A crew of 80 needs at least 3 units. If you're not sure about your exact count, call us. We'll walk through your site needs and recommend the right mix. Most Fort Lauderdale crews rent standard units by the week. Check how many porta potties do I need for a full breakdown by project type.
What's included in a standard unit and what does it cost?
A standard portable toilet sits about 92 inches tall and holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank. It's roughly 44 by 48 inches on the ground, so it fits in most site corners. Cost runs 100 to 350 dollars per day, 130 to 500 dollars per week or 125 to 325 dollars per month, depending on rental length and service frequency. That includes delivery, pickup and one service visit per week. Extra services cost more. Need it cleaned more often? Weekends run higher. Fort Lauderdale sites near Oakland Park, 3.2 miles north, often rent multiple units for bigger crews. Read standard porta potty rental for specs and porta potty rental per day for daily rates.
When do I need an ADA accessible unit?
ADA Standards section 213.2 says if you cluster portable toilets, at least 5 percent, and never fewer than one unit, must be accessible. An ADA accessible porta potty has a 36-inch clear width route and a 32-inch door opening per ADA Standards sections 403.5.1 and 404.2.3. You also need a 60-inch turning circle inside, per ADA Standards section 304.3.1. Accessible units cost 200 to 400 dollars per day. If your Fort Lauderdale project has workers with disabilities or guests using your site, an accessible unit is not optional. It's the right call legally and practically. See ADA restroom requirements for the full checklist.
How often should I pump my septic tank?
A residential septic tank pumps every 3 to 5 years, depending on tank size and household size. Pumping clears solids before they damage the drain field. If you're in Fort Lauderdale and use a septic system, track your last pump date. We handle septic tank pumping and can set you on a schedule. Grease interceptors pump when fats, oils, grease and solids hit 25 percent of the liquid depth. Restaurants and food service operations in Fort Lauderdale need more frequent pumping than homes. Read how often to pump a septic tank and septic tank warning signs if you suspect backup.
Can you deliver a roll-off dumpster to my Fort Lauderdale home?
Yes. A roll-off needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to lower the bin safely. Most residential driveways work. We place it on your property and pick it up when you call. Cost runs 51 to 112 dollars per day, 426 to 778 dollars per week or 91 to 500 dollars per month. Longer rentals always cost less per day than short ones. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. See roll-off dumpster rental and what cannot go in a dumpster before you fill it. Nearby Lauderdale Lakes, 5.1 miles northwest, uses the same delivery process.
Do you rent to events like weddings and festivals?
We do. Event restroom rental starts with a standard unit or scales to restroom trailers with sinks and flushing toilets. Weddings want deluxe flushable porta potties. Festivals and concerts rent multiple units and trailers. Call us with your guest count and date.
What's the difference between a standard and a deluxe unit?
Deluxe units have flushing toilets, running water and hand soap. Standard units do not. Both work, but deluxe feels nicer at events. Cost more.
Do I need a handwashing station on my construction site?
Only if you apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides. OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities where harmful contaminants may be present. A handwashing station must have soap and towels or a hand dryer, per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2). Hand sanitizer alone does not meet code.
What if I need restrooms on a Friday and can't wait until Monday?
Call. Weekend and emergency rates exist. We answer calls 7 days a week for emergency porta potty rental and same-day delivery in Fort Lauderdale.
How do you handle monthly porta potty rental?
Monthly rates beat weekly rates, which beat daily. Longer rentals lock in lower daily cost. We service once a week as standard. You can request more frequent service for higher volume sites. Fort Lauderdale Porta Pros handles pickup and drop.
