Frequently asked questions

How many portable toilets do I need?

OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline: one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers up to 200, and one per 50 above that. A construction crew of 50 needs a minimum of two units. Events are different. A wedding with 150 guests needs roughly one unit per 40 to 50 people, so three units works. How Many Porta Potties Do I Need in Santa Clara, CA walks through the math. If you're on a tight site, ADA Accessible Porta Potty explains how cluster spacing works under ADA Standards section 213.2, which requires 5 percent of single-user units to be accessible when they're grouped.

What's the difference between standard and deluxe?

Standard units cost less upfront. You get a basic seat, a holding tank, and routine service. A deluxe model adds a flushing system and better ventilation, so it feels closer to a real bathroom. Deluxe rentals run higher per day, but many customers find the difference worth it on job sites where crews spend eight hours or more. Standard Porta Potty Rental in Santa Clara, CA and Deluxe Flushable Porta Potty show the full options. For events, restroom trailers step even further up. Restroom Trailer Rental in Santa Clara, CA has multiple stall counts and running water, which lets you skip handwashing stations.

Do I need a handwashing station?

Only if your crew applies paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides. OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities in those specific cases. For general construction, a portable toilet handles it. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) says washing facilities must have soap and towels or a hand drying device; hand sanitizer alone doesn't meet code. Handwashing Station Rental in Santa Clara, CA covers what we offer when you do need one.

What does septic pumping cost?

Residential septic tanks get pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on household size and tank volume. A single service call in Santa Clara runs $150 to $300. Septic Tank Pumping Cost in Santa Clara, CA shows the range. Grease traps pump more often, typically when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of liquid depth. Grease Trap Pumping explains when to call. Emergency service is available if lines back up.

How do I rent a dumpster for a renovation?

Most home renovations use a 20-yard or 30-yard roll-off container. Delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind our truck, so confirm your driveway or street access first. A weekly rental is the standard term. Roll-Off Dumpster Rental in Santa Clara, CA lists sizes, and Dumpster Rental Cost shows pricing. What Cannot Go In a Dumpster details restricted materials.
