How many portable toilets do I need?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers up to 200 employees, and one per 50 workers above that. A construction site with 50 people needs at least two units. For events in Lawrence, add a unit for every 75 to 100 guests. A wedding with 200 people should have 2 to 3 units on hand. Contact Lawrence Porta Pros to verify the count for your exact scenario; overstaffing is cheaper than a shutdown.
What does a standard unit include?
A standard portable toilet is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall. The 60 to 70 gallon holding tank handles multiple users between service calls. Lawrence Porta Pros includes a toilet seat, urinal, hand soap and paper. Deluxe units add a flushing mechanism and heated water. ADA accessible models meet ADA Standards section 213.2, requiring at least one accessible unit in any cluster; a 60 inch diameter turning circle and 32 inch door opening width are built in. Weekly service costs less than daily rental because the technician makes one trip instead of multiple stops.
What about restroom trailers?
Restroom trailers are full-size facilities on wheels with plumbing, climate control and finishing. A 2-stall trailer suits a small event or renovation job in Lawrence. A 4-stall fits construction crews or medium weddings. The 8-stall model handles large festivals and outdoor concerts. Trailers need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the delivery truck, so confirm site access before ordering. Shower trailers are available for longer projects and disaster relief.
What's the difference between daily, weekly and monthly pricing?
| Duration | Standard Portable Toilet | Restroom Trailer |
|---|---|---|
| Daily | $100 to $350 | $175 to $2,500 |
| Weekly | $130 to $500 | $150 to $1,650 |
| Monthly | $125 to $325 | Not common |
Weekly rental is typically cheaper per day than daily, because Lawrence Porta Pros makes one service call instead of several. Monthly works only for portable toilets; trailers rent by the day, weekend, week or event. View cost details for exact rates on your dates.
Do I need to provide handwashing stations?
If your team is applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities with soap and towels or a hand drying device; hand sanitizer alone does not meet the rule. For general construction in Lawrence, portable sinks are not mandatory but recommended. Handwashing stations cost $30 to $60 per day and pair well with portable toilets on job sites.
How often should units be serviced?
ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets the baseline at one service visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40-hour work week. Lawrence Porta Pros adjusts frequency based on your crew size and duration. A single worker on a renovation takes less frequent service than a 30-person construction crew. Event rentals often include service before and after.
Can I rent a dumpster and a portable toilet together?
Yes. Lawrence Porta Pros offers roll-off dumpsters in 10, 20, 30 and 40-yard sizes alongside portable toilets. Construction sites commonly bundle both. A 10-yard dumpster costs $51 to $112 per day. See what cannot go in a dumpster and confirm weight limits before loading.
What's included in septic pumping?
Septic pumping removes accumulated solids and liquids from your tank. A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on tank size and household size. Lawrence Porta Pros also provides grease trap pumping for restaurants and kitchens; a grease interceptor is pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. Emergency service is available nights and weekends.
