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 from 20 up to 200, and 1 per 50 workers at 200 or more. Events scale differently, a wedding or festival needs roughly 1 unit per 50 guests for an 8-hour window, or 1 per 25 if people stay longer. Agricultural work follows OSHA 1928.110, which requires hand-labor operations to have facilities within a quarter mile. Use our guide on how many porta potties you need to run the math for your exact scenario. San Bernardino job sites often call mid-week when they realize their crew count changed. We can adjust your standard porta potty rental count fast.
What does a restroom trailer cost compared to standard units?
Restroom trailers rent higher than portable toilets because they're full bathrooms on wheels. A standard unit runs roughly 150 to 200 per week, while a restroom trailer rental typically costs 150 to 1650 per week. Trailers suit events that need running water, flushing toilets and sinks, weddings, film sets, outdoor offices. San Bernardino construction sites often mix trailers with standard units to give supervisors real facilities while crews use portables. A 4-stall restroom trailer handles 40 to 50 people per day. Request a quote to compare your exact setup against a trailer option.
Do I need handwashing stations if I have toilets?
Yes. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), washing facilities must have soap and towels or a hand drying device, hand sanitizer alone doesn't meet code. OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires full washing facilities where employees handle paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides. San Bernardino job sites often miss this. A portable sink rental pairs with your toilets to keep crews compliant. We deliver handwashing station rental units that connect to a standard unit or trailer, and we service them weekly.
What can't go in a roll-off dumpster?
Hazardous materials, liquids, electronics, appliances and tires are off limits on most sites. Asbestos, lead paint and medical waste need special handling. Construction dumpster rental contracts spell out what's banned for your project. San Bernardino demolition and renovation crews should ask before dumping anything questionable. Our guide on what cannot go in a dumpster covers the full list. Call if you're unsure whether something's legal to put in.
How often does a septic tank need pumping?
A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. Grease interceptors pump when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. San Bernardino properties with older tanks or high use may pump more often. Septic tank warning signs include slow drains, odors and soggy soil. Emergency septic service gets to you fast if a tank backs up. Schedule septic pumping service before trouble starts.
How do I reserve equipment for an event?
Call or request a quote with your event date, location in San Bernardino and headcount. We confirm availability and delivery location within 24 hours. Most events book 2 to 4 weeks out, but we handle last-minute requests.
What's the difference between a standard and deluxe porta potty?
A deluxe flushable porta potty has a real flushing toilet, running water and a hand sanitizer dispenser. Standard units are chemical toilets without plumbing. Deluxe costs more but feels like a real restroom. Events and film sets choose deluxe; construction sites often use standard.
Do ADA-accessible units cost extra?
Yes. An ADA accessible porta potty meets ADA Standards 213.2, 302.1 and 405.2, wider stalls, lower handles, slip-resistant floors and a 60 inch turning circle. They're required when the public uses facilities or when employees with disabilities work on site. San Bernardino venues hosting public events must have at least one accessible unit.
Can I place a portable toilet in the public right of way?
Placement in the street or sidewalk needs confirming with the City of San Bernardino. We handle permit research, but you'll approve the final location before we deliver.
How quickly can San Bernardino Porta Pros deliver?
Same-day delivery is possible for standard units in emergencies. Most rentals arrive within 24 to 48 hours of booking. Roll-off dumpsters need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to set down safely.
