How many portable toilets do I need?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the minimum count for construction sites: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers as headcount climbs, stepping up to one per 50 workers at 200 or more. A smaller event or residential renovation follows demand instead. Most one-day home jobs use one standard unit; a wedding with 100 guests needs three to four. Learn how to calculate your exact count and see which standard or deluxe model fits.
What does a standard portable toilet hold?
A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and sits roughly 44 by 48 inches on the ground, standing about 92 inches tall. That's enough for a small crew or event for a few days before service. Deluxe flushable models offer the same tank capacity with tank, heating and odor control. ADA accessible units meet the 36 inch minimum route width and 32 inch door opening under ADA Standards sections 403.5.1 and 404.2.3, with at least 5 percent of clustered units accessible per ADA Standards 213.2.
When should I pump my septic tank?
A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. A grease interceptor gets pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. Warning signs include slow drains, gurgling sounds and lawn pooling. North Miami homeowners often call us after spotting one of those signs, but planning ahead beats emergency service. See the full list of warning signs and learn about our septic pumping service.
How often do you service portable toilets?
ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the industry standard, calls for one service visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Busier sites, events and multi-stall trailers get service twice weekly or more. North Miami Porta Pros schedules your service day based on your actual use. Check our service frequency for restroom trailers and ask about weekend service when you call.
What's the cost range for a weekend rental?
| Unit Type | Weekend Rate |
|---|---|
| Standard Porta Potty | $125 to $400 |
| Deluxe Flushable | $85 to $1,200 |
| ADA Accessible | $199 to $300 |
| Restroom Trailer | $900 to $3,000 |
Delivery fees apply separately. See daily, weekly and monthly rates for each unit type. North Miami delivery typically needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck for roll-off dumpsters and larger equipment.
Can I place a portable toilet on the street?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. We handle placement logistics in North Miami and can guide you through that process, but verify current rules with the city first. Read our placement guide for site prep, spacing and accessibility rules under ADA Standards 302.1 (stable, firm, slip-resistant surfaces) and 308.2.1 (forward reach limits).
