How many portable toilets do I need?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline for construction sites: 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers up to 200, and 1 per 50 workers above that. For events in Passaic, count attendees, not just workers. A festival needs more units than a work crew of the same size because people use restrooms faster. Start with the OSHA rule and add 20 percent for comfort. Then call us with your headcount and job type and we'll size it right. Our porta potty rental cost page breaks down day, week and month pricing so you can see what fits your budget.
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. It's a single-stall fiberglass box with a gravity-fed black water tank and ventilation. A deluxe unit is a step up: it has a flushing mechanism, a hand sanitizer dispenser, and interior finishing that feels less industrial. For a wedding or corporate event in Passaic, deluxe makes sense. For a construction site or demolition, standard works fine. Deluxe flushable porta potty rentals cost more per day, but many event planners say the guest experience is worth it. Check the pricing page to compare.
Do I need an ADA accessible unit?
Yes, if you're renting for a public event or a site with employees in Passaic. ADA accessible porta potty units must be at least one per cluster under ADA Standards section 213.2. An accessible unit needs a 36 inch minimum clear width per ADA Standards section 403.5.1, plus a 60 inch diameter turning circle per ADA Standards section 304.3.1, and a 32 inch minimum door opening per ADA Standards section 404.2.3. That's why accessible units are bigger and cost more. If you're unsure whether you need one, tell us about your site and we'll tell you straight.
How often does a porta potty get cleaned?
We service units on a weekly baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 for up to 10 users over a 40 hour work week. High-traffic sites get more frequent service. An event with 200 people might need service twice during the event itself. A construction site with 12 workers on a standard 40 hour week gets one service per week. In Passaic and nearby towns like Garfield, 2.5 miles northeast, we schedule service days early in the week so you're fresh for the rest of your job. How often are porta potties cleaned covers the details.
What about handwashing and septic pumping?
Handwashing stations are required where employees apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1). A sink alone isn't enough: 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand drying device. We rent portable sinks that meet code. For septic pumping service, a residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on tank size and household size. If you're in Passaic and your septic backs up, call us for emergency service. We also handle grease trap pumping for restaurants and commercial kitchens: a grease interceptor needs pumping when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth.
Can I rent a unit for just one day?
Yes. We rent by the day, weekend, week and month. Porta potty rental per day in Passaic runs between 100 and 350 dollars depending on unit type. Weekend rates are higher. Call for a same-day quote.
Do you deliver to nearby towns?
We serve Passaic and the surrounding area. Lodi is 3.1 miles northeast and Nutley is 3.6 miles southwest. Contact us with your address and we'll confirm delivery. A roll-off dumpster delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck.
What can't go in a dumpster?
Hazardous waste, asbestos, electronics and certain chemicals are prohibited. What cannot go in a dumpster details the full list. When you order, tell us what you're throwing away and we'll make sure you have the right container.
Do I need a permit for a porta potty?
That depends on your city, job type and placement. In Passaic, placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. Contact us or the city directly before you order.
What's included in a restroom trailer rental?
A restroom trailer is a self-contained unit with multiple stalls, running water, and climate control. Pricing varies by stall count and rental length. See restroom trailer rental cost for the range. They're ideal for large events, film sets and multi-week job sites where guest comfort or worker morale matters.
