How many portable toilets do I need for my event or job site?
The count depends on how many people you're serving and for how long. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) says construction sites need 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up to 200, and 1 per 50 workers at 200 or more. For events in New Rochelle, you'll want to plan for peak attendance. A single standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground. Rent them by the day, week or month depending on your timeline, and add service visits weekly to keep them in use. If your crew is applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities on top of toilets. New Rochelle Porta Pros delivers and services all of them.
What's the difference between a standard porta potty and a deluxe one?
Standard units give you a basic, reliable toilet and hand sanitizer. Deluxe models add a flushing toilet, improved ventilation and a larger tank. Both fit most job sites and events in New Rochelle. A deluxe flushable porta potty costs more per day or week, but crews often prefer the comfort on longer jobs. Standard units work fine for short-term needs and festivals. Check the daily and weekly rates to see which fits your budget. If you need something even larger with multiple stalls and hot water, a restroom trailer rental serves 8 to 10 people at once and looks more like a real restroom. New Rochelle Porta Pros stocks all three types.
Do I need an ADA accessible portable toilet?
Yes, if you're hosting any event open to the public or if you have employees with mobility challenges. ADA Standards section 213.2 says that where single-user portable toilet units are clustered, at least 5 percent, and never fewer than one unit, must be accessible. An ADA accessible porta potty has a 36 inch minimum clear width at the entrance, a 60 inch turning circle inside, and operable parts reachable between 15 and 48 inches high. New Rochelle sites with 10 or more standard units need at least one accessible option. Weddings, festivals and construction projects with public access all fall under this rule. New Rochelle Porta Pros delivers and services accessible units alongside your standard rentals.
What happens when I rent a dumpster or storage container for a New Rochelle project?
Roll-off dumpsters arrive on a truck, get placed at your site, and pick up when you're done. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to place safely. Dumpsters come in 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes priced by the week or month. Storage containers sit longer, they're 20 or 40 feet long and work for equipment, tools or materials that need to stay dry between jobs. Both get delivered the same way: our driver positions it, you load it, we haul it away. Pricing changes based on how long you keep it, so a weekly rate beats a daily rate and a monthly rate beats a weekly one. New Rochelle Porta Pros handles delivery, pickup and disposal or storage according to what you need.
What's septic pumping and when do I need it?
Septic tanks fill over time as household wastewater drains into them. A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. When solids, grease and sludge reach about 25 to 30 percent of the tank depth, pumping prevents backups into your home or yard. New Rochelle properties with septic systems need regular service to avoid expensive repairs. New Rochelle Porta Pros also pumps grease traps at restaurants and commercial kitchens when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. Call for a septic pumping service inspection if drains slow, toilets back up or you smell sewage near your tank.
Can I rent a handwashing station for construction or catering?
Yes. Washing facilities must include soap and towels or a hand drying device under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), and hand sanitizer alone doesn't meet code. Handwashing stations work for food service events, outdoor catering, construction sites and festivals across New Rochelle. Pair them with portable toilets on job sites. We deliver, fill and service them weekly so your crew always has clean water.
