How many portable toilets do I need for my job?
The math depends on how many people you're serving and for how long. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the standard for construction sites: one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up. If you're running an event in La Habra instead of construction, count on one unit per 75 to 100 guests for a four-hour event. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons, so a bigger crew needs more frequent service. Call La Habra Porta Pros with your headcount and job length; we'll right-size it for you. Many jobs surprise themselves: a crew that thought they needed three units ends up asking for four after day one.
What does a porta potty cost per day or per week?
Daily rental runs 100 to 350 dollars. Weekly rates are 130 to 500 dollars. Monthly runs 125 to 325 dollars. Delivery and pickup fees sit on top of the unit cost, typically 50 to 150 dollars depending on the distance from our yard in La Habra. The more units you rent and the longer you keep them, the lower your per-unit cost becomes. An ADA-accessible unit costs more: 200 to 400 dollars per day.

What other services does La Habra Porta Pros offer?
Beyond portable toilets, we rent roll-off dumpsters in 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes for construction debris, renovation waste and cleanouts. Restroom trailers range from 2 to 8 stalls and work better than portable toilets for long-term jobs and events. Temporary fencing secures your work area. Handwashing stations satisfy the requirement in 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) that washing facilities include soap and towels or a hand drying device. Storage containers hold tools and materials. Septic pumping keeps your tank healthy. Call La Habra Porta Pros to bundle services and cut your rental bill.
Why do I need a handwashing station on my construction site?
Handwashing stations are required where employees are applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1). Even if your job doesn't trigger that rule, portable sinks keep your crew cleaner and healthier. Hand sanitizer alone doesn't cut it; you need actual soap and water with towels or a drying device. We deliver and service them. Learn more about portable sink rental and pricing.
How long does delivery take in La Habra?
Same day if you call by 10 a.m. Next business day otherwise. A roll-off dumpster needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so tell us your site layout when you order.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster or portable toilet in La Habra?
Check with the city about permit requirements for placement in the public right of way. Placement on private property usually doesn't need a permit, but confirm with your site manager or contractor first. We can advise after we know your exact location.
How often 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. Larger tanks and smaller households go longer between pumpings. Call us when you notice slow drains or smell sewage near the tank.
Can I rent a restroom trailer instead of a porta potty?
Yes. Restroom trailers have real plumbing, flushing toilets and running water, so they're more comfortable for long-term jobs and big events. They're pricier than portable toilets but they feel like real bathrooms. Sizes range from 2 stalls to 8 stalls.
What can't go in a dumpster?
Hazardous waste, paint, batteries, tires, appliances and asbestos are banned. Most construction debris, yard waste and household junk is fine. Ask us before you dump something unusual. Weight limits and local rules vary by container size.
