How many portable toilets do I need?
OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline: one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers up to 20, per 50 workers at 200 or more. A standard porta potty rental works for small crews. Larger projects need multiple units. How many porta potties do I need breaks down the math by job size. Event planners should also consider that people use facilities more often in social settings than on work sites. Provo construction zones typically rent 2 to 4 units for mixed-gender crews of 30 to 80 people. Call us with your headcount and we'll calculate the exact number.
What's the difference between standard and deluxe?
A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, standing 92 inches tall. It flushes and has a sink. A deluxe flushable porta potty adds lighting, a higher-capacity tank, hand soap and paper towel dispensers. Both suit construction. Deluxe works better for weddings, festivals and corporate events in Provo where guests expect comfort. Standard is the choice for demo work, landscaping and farm sites. Read portable toilet rental to compare features side by side.
Do I need an ADA accessible unit?
Yes, if your site or event has members of the public. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires that where single-user units cluster, at least 5 percent and never fewer than one must be accessible. An ADA accessible porta potty has a 36 inch clear entry width per ADA Standards 403.5.1 and 404.2.3, a 60 inch turning radius per section 304.3.1, and grab bars inside. Provo venues hosting weddings, festivals and marathons need at least one accessible unit per 10 standard units. Check ADA restroom requirements for the full rulebook.
How often should a septic tank be pumped?
A residential tank pumps every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. Septic tank pumping cost varies by location and tank depth. Provo's clay soil can slow drainage, so don't wait for warning signs. Get ahead of backups. Commercial systems need service more often. Septic pumping service includes inspection. We handle holding tanks too.
Can I rent a restroom trailer for my event?
Absolutely. A restroom trailer rental brings 2, 4 or 8 stalls with flushing toilets, sinks and heating. Trailers suit weddings, corporate events and outdoor festivals across Provo and Spanish Fork, which is 10.6 miles south. They cost more than portable units but feel like real bathrooms. Restroom trailer rental cost depends on stall count and rental length. Delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck.
