How many porta potties do I need on my construction site?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the toilet count: one facility per 20 workers or fewer; one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up; one toilet seat and one urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, so you can fit them on most job sites. If you're unsure about your exact count, visit OSHA portable toilet requirements for the full breakdown, or call Pleasanton Porta Pros with your crew size and we'll spec it out. Many sites near Danville, 13.9 miles northwest, have tight layouts; we can help you plan placement.
What's the difference between standard, deluxe and ADA units?
A standard unit is the workhorse. It's basic but reliable, about 92 inches tall with 60 to 70 gallon capacity. An ADA accessible porta potty meets ADA Standards section 213.2: in clusters of single-user units, at least 5 percent must be accessible, and never fewer than one. These units have a 36 inch clear width per ADA Standards section 403.5.1 and a 32 inch door opening per ADA Standards section 404.2.3, so wheelchairs fit. A deluxe flushable porta potty adds a flush mechanism and is nicer inside. For event work in Pleasanton, deluxe units cost more but feel more like a real bathroom. Choose standard for construction, deluxe for weddings and festivals, and ADA units wherever people with mobility challenges will be present.
How often do you service the toilets?
One service visit per week is the baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, our industry standard. Most Pleasanton customers on a weekly plan get pumped once and restocked with supplies. If your event runs just one weekend, we offer porta potty rental per day with a service fee. Heavy-use sites or summer events often need midweek pumps. Visit how often are porta potties cleaned for the full service schedule, or ask about monthly porta potty rental if you're renting longer than four weeks. We confirm service dates when you book.
Do I need handwashing stations on my jobsite?
It depends on the work. OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities where employees apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides. Per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), those stations must have soap and towels or a hand dryer; hand sanitiser alone doesn't meet code. For general construction, a handwashing station rental is often smart practice even if not mandated. We rent portable sink rental units that pair well with portable toilets. Read handwashing requirements for details on what OSHA expects. Many sites near Union City, 16.6 miles southwest, combine toilets and handwash stations to pass inspections cleanly.
Can I rent a dumpster and toilets from the same company?
Yes. Pleasanton Porta Pros handles roll-off dumpster rental alongside toilets and other site services. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so tell us your site layout when you call. We also offer storage container rental and temporary fence rental. One vendor means one invoice and coordinated drop dates. See construction site services for the full list of what we rent.
What if I need emergency septic pumping on a weekend?
Call us. We do emergency septic service and can schedule weekend pumps for homes and small businesses in Pleasanton and nearby towns like Sunol, 7.3 miles south. A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, but if you smell sewage or drains back up, don't wait. Septic tank pumping cost runs higher on weekends, but a burst tank costs way more. Call Pleasanton Porta Pros, describe what's wrong, and we'll send a truck.
