How many portable toilets do I need for my event or job site?
It depends on headcount and duration. For construction, OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer; 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up; 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. Events are different. A wedding or festival in Carmel runs lighter than a packed concert, so call with your guest count and we'll size it. Need help figuring out how many porta potties you actually need? That guide walks through the math. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, so you'll also need clear space on the site. If your event needs something fancier, deluxe flushable units run with hot water and interior lighting.
What's included in a service visit?
One service per week is the baseline interval for up to 10 users, per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. Carmel Porta Pros pumps the tank, restocks toilet paper and hand sanitizer, and wipes down the exterior. A standard unit stands about 92 inches tall. If the tank is overflowing or you've had heavy use midweek, call for an extra service. Emergency porta potty rental exists for exactly that. Restroom trailers and deluxe units get the same pumping schedule but cost more because they hold more capacity and offer climate control. Want to know how often porta potties get cleaned? We've got the full breakdown there.
Do you rent on weekends and holidays?
Yes. Weekend service costs more because we dispatch crews on their off days. A standard porta potty weekend rental lands between typical weekly pricing and premium event rates. Holiday surcharges apply to Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. Call us for exact quotes if your job runs through those dates. Carmel events happen year-round. Construction site services often push into Saturday, so we staff for it. Same-day delivery is possible if you're in Carmel or nearby towns like Westfield (7.5 miles north) or Zionsville (11.7 miles west).
What about ADA-compliant units?
ADA accessible porta potties meet all federal standards. A single-unit cluster requires 1 accessible unit minimum per ADA Standards section 213.2. The door opening is at least 32 inches wide, per ADA Standards section 404.2.3, and the interior offers a 60 inch diameter turning circle per ADA Standards section 304.3.1. Handrails are stainless steel. If you're running a public event in Carmel, accessible units are legally required. Cost runs higher than standard, but they're non-negotiable for compliance.
What if I need handwashing too?
Handwashing stations are mandatory where employees handle paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, per OSHA 1926.51(f)(1). Even without those contaminants, 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) says washing facilities must provide soap and towels or a hand drying device. Hand sanitizer alone doesn't cut it. A portable sink pairs with your toilets and gets serviced on the same schedule.
How long does delivery take?Same-day or next-business-day in Carmel. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so confirm your site layout before we roll in.
Can I rent a unit for just one day?Yes. Daily porta potty rental works for short jobs. Weekly and monthly rates offer better value if you know your timeline.
What's the difference between a standard and deluxe unit?Deluxe adds a flushable toilet, hand soap dispenser, and interior lighting. Both get pumped on the same schedule.
Do you handle septic and grease trap pumping?Yes. Septic pumping service and grease trap pumping run on separate contracts. Residential septic tanks pump every 3 to 5 years depending on household size.
Do you rent dumpsters and storage containers?Yes. Roll-off dumpster rental handles demolition and construction debris. Storage containers work for equipment or materials you need to keep on site for weeks or months.
