How many portable toilets do I need?
Count your workers or guests, then apply OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) rules. For construction: one toilet per 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up to 200, and one per 50 workers at 200 or above. General industry uses OSHA 1910.141(c)(1)(i), which runs tighter. A wedding with 100 guests needs fewer units than a 20-person paint crew applying coatings, because crew members stay longer. Call us and we'll count it right. See our guide on how many porta potties you need for the math worked out by event type.
What's the difference between standard and deluxe portable toilets?
A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground. It has basic ventilation and a manual hand pump. A deluxe unit sits in the same footprint but adds a flushing mechanism, better odor control and hand sanitizer. Both are about 92 inches tall. Deluxe costs more per day but cuts service visits if you have heavy traffic. Kennewick Porta Pros delivers both, and rental cost scales with duration. Check standard porta potty rental and deluxe flushable porta potty pages for weekly and monthly rates.
What do I need to know about ADA-accessible toilets?
An accessible unit must have a 36 inch clear width entry per ADA Standards section 403.5.1, a 32 inch minimum clear door opening per ADA Standards section 404.2.3, and a 60 inch diameter turning circle inside per ADA Standards section 304.3.1. The floor and ground must be stable, firm and slip-resistant per ADA Standards section 302.1. If you're clustering portable toilets, at least 5 percent of units, and never fewer than one, must meet these standards per ADA Standards section 213.2. For events and construction in Kennewick, that means if you rent 10 units, one minimum must be ADA compliant. See ADA accessible porta potty rental for pricing and placement tips.
Do I need a handwashing station on site?
Only if your crew applies paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides. OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities where harmful contaminants are present. Hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy the rule; you need soap and a towel or hand drying device per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2). General construction sites do not legally require them, but many contractors add them anyway for worker morale. Kennewick Porta Pros rents handwashing stations as standalone units or paired with toilet clusters. They're low-cost insurance on a jobsite.
What about septic tank pumping and grease traps?
Residential septic tanks pump every 3 to 5 years depending on tank size and household size. A grease interceptor pumps when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. Don't wait until a system backs up. We service Kennewick and the surrounding area with routine septic pumping and emergency calls. If you're unsure when you last pumped, that's often the sign it's overdue. See septic tank warning signs for the red flags.
How do I rent a roll-off dumpster?
Tell us the size you need (10, 20, 30 or 40 yards), the dump contents (construction debris, household junk, landscaping waste), your location in Kennewick and how long you need it. We deliver and pick up. Weight limits and prohibited items vary by dumpster size and destination landfill. See what cannot go in a dumpster and dumpster weight limits before you fill it. Roll-off dumpster rental cost depends on duration and debris type.
What's included in a restroom trailer rental?
A restroom trailer is a climate-controlled unit on wheels with multiple stalls, running water, flushing toilets and sinks. Sizes range from 2 stalls to 8 stalls. They're a step up from portable toilets for festivals, weddings, film sets and large construction projects. Trailers require more space to position than individual units; delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck. See restroom trailer rental and restroom trailer rental cost for event sizes and monthly rates.
Can I rent a storage container for equipment?
Yes. Kennewick Porta Pros rents 20 foot and 40 foot storage containers month-to-month. They're weatherproof boxes dropped on your lot for tool and material storage during construction. They don't need utility connections or site prep. See storage container rental for dimensions and storage container rental cost for monthly pricing.
How often are porta potties cleaned?
One service visit per week is the baseline interval per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 for up to 10 users over a 40-hour week. High-traffic sites need more frequent pumping. We'll tell you if daily service makes sense for your job.
Do porta potties smell?
Modern units have ventilation and treatment chemicals that cut odor. Deluxe models with flushing and better seals smell less than budget units. Regular service helps too.
What areas does Kennewick Porta Pros service?
We cover Kennewick and nearby towns including Richland, West Richland, Finley and Burbank. Check service areas for exact coverage or call for a quote on your location.
Can I place a portable toilet in the public right of way?
Placement in the street or sidewalk needs confirming with the city before you order. It varies by location and street width. Call us first.
How do temporary fences work for events and construction?
Temporary fencing prevents unauthorized entry and contains debris. Chain-link panels bolt together quickly. See temporary fence rental and temporary fence cost for event sizing and weekly rates.
