How many portable toilets do I need?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the minimum for construction sites: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up to 200, and one per 50 workers at 200 or more. Events need fewer units per person because people don't stay eight hours. A wedding with 150 guests needs 3 or 4. A film shoot with 40 crew members needs 2. A small office renovation with 6 workers needs 1. The math changes if your event runs multiple days or shifts run back to back. How many porta potties do I need covers the calculation in full. Tamiami Porta Pros can size your job over the phone.
What's the difference between a standard unit and a deluxe?
A standard porta potty is a single-stall enclosed toilet about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and 92 inches tall, holding 60 to 70 gallons. It has a toilet seat, urinal and hand sanitiser. A deluxe flushable porta potty adds a flush mechanism and a sink with running water. Both get pumped at the same interval. Deluxe units rent higher because they require more service and take up more space. Standard units work fine for construction and short-term events. Pick deluxe for offices, weddings, festivals or anywhere people stay longer than a few hours. Tamiami Porta Pros delivers both within your rental period.
How often does a portable toilet get serviced?
One service visit per week is the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40-hour week, per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. Heavier use needs more visits. A construction site with 30 workers needs at least twice weekly service. An event with 200 people over one day needs service before the event starts and immediately after. We pump out the holding tank, refresh the chemicals, restock toilet paper, and sanitise surfaces. If you need emergency porta potty rental outside normal hours, call us directly. Tamiami Porta Pros can arrange same-day service for jobs in or near Tamiami.
Do I need an ADA accessible unit?
Yes, if you're renting for a public event, a commercial site or any space open to the general public. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires that where single-user units are clustered, at least 5 percent (and never fewer than one unit) must be accessible. An ADA accessible porta potty has grab bars, a wider door opening (32 inches, per ADA Standards section 404.2.3), and a 60-inch turning circle inside. Construction sites with employees who need accommodation must provide at least one. Most events need at least one even with small attendance. It costs more but it's not optional. Tamiami Porta Pros stocks ADA units specifically for this.
How much does a septic tank pumping cost?
Pumping runs $150 to $300 per service call. A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. If a tank backs up or slows down, don't wait. We also pump grease interceptors when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. Tamiami Porta Pros offers emergency septic service if your system fails over a weekend. Call for a quote on your specific tank and usage.
What if my event is in a nearby town?
We serve Sweetwater (3.1 miles northeast), Westchester (4.4 miles east), Kendale Lakes (4.6 miles south), Westwood Lakes (4.9 miles southeast), and Coral Gables (15.0 miles southeast). Delivery fees apply for longer distances. Call us and we'll quote your exact location.
Can I rent a unit for just one day?
Yes. Day rentals run shorter than weekly or monthly. Porta potty rental per day is available for all unit types. Weekend rentals are also available at a premium rate.
What if I need a restroom trailer instead?
A restroom trailer rental holds 2, 4 or 8 stalls and connects to power and water. It's deluxe, climate controlled and plumbed. Trailers rent higher than portable toilets but they're ideal for long events, film sets or corporate sites. Tamiami Porta Pros delivers and sets up the trailer.
Do you handle construction waste?
Yes. We rent roll-off dumpsters in multiple sizes. We also provide storage containers and temporary fencing for construction sites. Ask about bundling rentals for a better rate.
