How many portable toilets do I need?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the count for construction sites: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers as you scale up. The math changes for events and temporary uses, which is why we ask about your headcount and how long people will be on site. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons, so turnover matters. If you're running a festival or a film shoot in Aurora, the crew size and duration both drive the number. We size jobs carefully because too few units break morale and create liability, and too many waste your budget. Call us with your worker count and we'll match the right setup.
What do I need to know about delivery and placement?
A roll-off dumpster needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck for safe delivery. In Aurora, that means checking alley width, driveway depth and overhead clearances before we schedule. Portable toilets run smaller, a standard unit is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, but you'll want level ground and access to a service vehicle for weekly pumping. If you need ADA accessible portable restrooms, placement takes extra care. Curb weight, utility lines and setback rules from the city matter too. We scout the location if you're unsure and confirm access before drop-off. Storage containers need similar planning. Get the dimensions and site map ready and we'll tell you what works.
What are the standard rental periods and how much does it cost?
We rent by the day, weekend, week and month. Porta potty rental per day runs 100 to 350 dollars, while monthly porta potty rental sits at 125 to 325 dollars. Weekend rates climb because demand is higher and service calls fall on off-days. Roll-off dumpsters cost 51 to 112 dollars per day, 426 to 778 dollars per week. Restroom trailers are a bigger investment at 175 to 2,500 dollars daily, but they're worth it for events that run multiple days. We charge delivery separately. Request a quote with your dates and unit types and we'll give you exact pricing for your Aurora project.
What happens during a service visit?
We pull up on a set schedule, usually weekly for standard rentals under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the industry service standard. We empty the tank, sanitize, restock toilet paper and hand soap, and check for damage. If you rent handwashing stations, we refill soap and paper towels. For septic pumping service, a residential tank gets pumped every 3 to 5 years based on tank size and household size. Grease trap pumping happens when fats, oils and grease reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. We log every visit and flag problems early. If equipment breaks between visits, call us and we'll send someone to fix it or swap it out.
What rules apply to portable restrooms on a job site?
Construction sites need potable water on hand under OSHA 1926.51(a)(1). If your crew is applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, you must provide washing facilities with soap and paper towels or a hand drying device per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), hand sanitizer alone doesn't meet code. ADA accessible units require a 36-inch minimum clear width of approach under ADA Standards 403.5.1, plus a 60-inch turning circle per section 304.3.1. In Aurora, placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. Temporary fencing and construction site services both have local rules worth checking before you start. We know the compliance angle and we'll help you stay legal.
Can I rent equipment for just one day?
Yes. We rent standard portable toilets, dumpsters and all equipment on a daily basis. Weekend rates are higher because service crews work off-schedule. For short jobs or events, day rates often make sense. Call us with your dates and we'll quote you right away.
What's the difference between standard and deluxe portable toilets?
Standard units are basic and durable. Deluxe flushable porta potties have a flush mechanism that works like a small toilet, hand soap and a seat cover dispenser. Deluxe costs more daily but feels more like a real bathroom. For events where customers or guests are present, deluxe wins. For construction, standard handles the job.
Do you service on weekends?
We do. Weekend service costs more because it falls outside normal business hours. Let us know your timeline and we'll schedule it.
What can't go in a roll-off dumpster?
Hazardous waste, asbestos, tires, paint and electronics don't belong in dumpsters. Check what cannot go in a dumpster for the full list. Call us before you rent if you're unsure about your waste stream.
