How many portable toilets do I need for my event or job site?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline for construction: one toilet facility for 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 more. A wedding or festival uses different math. Count your guests or workers, add 20 percent, then divide by 50 to find a rough number of units. How Many Porta Potties Do I Need walks through the math for your exact situation. If you're applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities with soap and a hand drying device, not hand sanitizer alone. Miami Beach Porta Pros installs handwashing stations on job sites that need them. Call with your headcount and we'll quote the right count.
What's the difference between standard, deluxe and ADA portable toilets?
A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, standing roughly 92 inches tall. It has a hand-pump flush, a roll-up roof vent and a mirror. A deluxe flushable porta potty adds a foot-pump flush, interior lighting, an upgraded seat and hand soap dispensers. Both work for construction and events. An ADA accessible porta potty meets ADA Standards section 213.2: at least 5 percent of any cluster, never fewer than one unit, must be accessible. Per ADA Standards section 403.5.1, the route to the unit is 36 inches wide minimum. ADA Standards section 404.2.3 specifies a 32 inch clear door opening. These units cost more but they're required on any public event or job site in Miami Beach with mixed-ability attendance. Miami Beach Porta Pros stocks all three.
Do you rent on weekends and what are your service schedules?
Yes. Event restroom rental covers weekends at premium rates, weekends run higher than weekday rates for the same unit. We service porta potties weekly as baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the portable sanitation service standard. That means one visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Shorter events get single-day delivery and pickup. Longer jobs get weekly service on the day you pick, including Saturdays and Sundays. We also pump septic tanks on weekends. A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on tank size and household size, but emergency calls get same-day response.

How much does a porta potty cost in Miami Beach?

Private property placement is usually straightforward. A standard unit needs about 44 by 48 inches of flat ground. If you're setting up multiple units, ADA Standards section 304.3.1 requires a 60 inch diameter turning circle for wheelchair access. We position units to meet those specs at no extra charge.

Is a handwashing station required on my construction site?
Only if your crew applies paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides. OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) mandates washing facilities with soap and a towel or hand drying device in those contexts. General construction sites must provide potable water under OSHA 1926.51(a)(1).
What's included in a restroom trailer rental?
A restroom trailer rental gives you the features of a building bathroom in a mobile unit. Trailers offer multiple stalls, flushing toilets, sinks and running water. They cost more than portable toilets but serve large events and extended job sites where standard units aren't enough.
