Frequently Asked Questions in Lafayette, IN

OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline for construction sites: one toilet facility for every 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers as the crew grows. The math gets tighter at 200 or more workers, where you'll need one toilet seat and one urinal per 50 workers. The actual count depends on shift length, site density and whether workers can leave the site during the day. An event in Lafayette runs different math: a festival or outdoor wedding typically needs one unit per 75 to 100 attendees, adjusted up if alcohol is served or the event runs past two hours. Call us with your headcount and we'll recommend the right number. See our how many porta potties do I need guide for the full breakdown.

A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, standing roughly 92 inches tall. You get a seat, a roof and a holding tank emptied weekly under the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 industry standard baseline. A deluxe flushable porta potty adds a flush mechanism, hand sanitizer, and a larger holding tank. Deluxe units cost more but feel less like roughing it. Lafayette sites with office workers or client visits usually prefer deluxe. Construction crews and event planners split evenly based on duration and budget. Pricing ranges from about 150 dollars weekly for a standard unit to 250 dollars weekly for deluxe, though exact quotes depend on your rental length and delivery location.

If your site has employees or public attendees, check the ADA Standards section 213.2: 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 meets ADA Standards section 302.1 for stable, firm and slip-resistant flooring, section 405.2 for ramp slope not steeper than 1:12, and section 308.2.1 for unobstructed forward reach no higher than 48 inches. A 36 inch minimum clear width per ADA Standards section 403.5.1 and a 32 inch clear door opening per section 404.2.3 let wheelchair users enter. Weekly rentals for accessible units run roughly 185 dollars. Most Lafayette event planners and construction firms include at least one accessible unit in their order; it's the right call and the cost difference is small.

We service units weekly under the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline for up to 10 users over a 40-hour work week. High-traffic sites get pumped mid-week or twice weekly. An event running one day doesn't need servicing at all. A restroom trailer with multiple stalls lowers the per-person traffic load and can go longer between pumps. Septic tanks at homes typically pump every 3 to 5 years based on tank size and household size, but portable jobsite tanks follow a tighter schedule. Lafayette construction sites on our regular rotation get serviced every Monday unless you ask for a different day. Weekend events and emergencies are available at a premium rate.

Hazardous waste, electronics, batteries, asbestos, tires, paint and motor oil are forbidden. Check our what cannot go in a dumpster page for the full list. Liquids must be drained before anything goes in. A grease trap gets pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth; don't dump grease down a drain and into a rented dumpster. Weight limits vary by size. Lafayette restaurants and food trucks often call us for dedicated grease management instead of risking clogs and fines. We pump interceptors separately and charge by the service call.

A standard unit runs between 100 and 350 dollars per day in Lafayette depending on delivery distance and service add-ons. ADA units cost more. See porta potty rental per day for current rates and exact pricing based on your location and duration.

Yes. Same-day delivery and pickup are available for one-day events and emergencies. Weekend rentals carry a premium over weekday daily rates. A one-day standard unit is cheaper than a full week, so short events make sense.

We pump the tank, haul the waste to a licensed disposal facility, and inspect the tank for damage. We don't repair tanks or replace components. Grease traps require separate service. Call for a quote if you suspect a backup or smell.

Yes. Trailers need a 20-amp outlet, fresh water hookup and a drain for gray water. We can run temporary power or a garden hose if your site doesn't have infrastructure nearby. Tell us about your setup when you call.
