Who rents standard units
Contractors use them on new homes, roof jobs and commercial builds. Homeowners use them during bathroom remodels and septic replacements. Farms place them near barns or fields during busy seasons. Hosts rent them for graduation parties, reunions and pig roasts where guests would otherwise walk through the house.
Size and placement
A standard unit needs about a 4-by-4-foot flat spot and stands about 7.5 feet tall. Place it on level, firm ground within about 25 feet of where our truck can park. Keep it away from wells, septic fields and overhead wires.
Standard porta potty questions
How many people can share one standard porta potty?
Plan for about 10 workers per unit for a 40-hour week with weekly service, or about 50 guests for a 4-hour event.
How often is a standard unit serviced?
Job-site units are pumped, cleaned and restocked once a week. Larger crews can add a second weekly visit.
Can I keep a standard unit for a month or more?
Long-term rentals are common for construction and farms. Monthly rates with weekly service usually cost less per day than week-by-week rentals.
