How many portable toilets do I need on a job site?
OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer; then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up; and one toilet seat and one urinal per 50 workers once you hit 200 or more. A crew of 25 needs at least one unit with a urinal. Fifty workers need two. The math changes based on how long workers stay on site and whether they rotate shifts. How many porta potties do I need breaks down the calculation for different job types in Laredo. Call if you're unsure. We size the order right the first time.
What's the difference between standard, deluxe and ADA units?
A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and fits a footprint about 44 by 48 inches. Standard porta potty rental covers most construction and event work. Deluxe flushable porta potty units have a flushing mechanism and a larger tank, used for higher-traffic events or longer rentals where comfort matters. ADA accessible porta potty units meet ADA Standards section 213.2, which requires at least 5 percent of clustered units to be accessible, never fewer than one. ADA units have grab bars, wider entry, a 60 inch turning circle per ADA Standards section 304.3.1, and a 36 inch minimum clear route width under ADA Standards section 403.5.1. Pricing runs from roughly $150 per day for standard to $230 per day for ADA, with weekly and monthly discounts available.
Do you deliver and service on weekends?
Yes. Laredo Porta Pros delivers seven days a week, and service calls run on weekends too. Delivery fees vary by duration; weekend placement runs higher than weekday. A single portable toilet rental typically includes one service visit per week under how often are porta potties cleaned. If your event spans Saturday and Sunday or your construction job runs straight through, we're there. Emergency service in Laredo is available; call for weekend rates and availability.
What goes in a dumpster and what doesn't?
Most debris from construction, renovation, yard work and demolition goes in. Hazardous waste, appliances with refrigerant, tires, batteries and liquids do not. What cannot go in a dumpster explains the full list and why each item matters. Roll-off dumpsters come in 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes. A 20 yard dumpster suits most home renovations and small commercial projects. Weight limits apply; overages cost extra. Roll-off dumpster rental gives you the sizes and pricing for Laredo and nearby areas.
When should I pump my septic tank?
A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. If you have a garbage disposal, more frequent pumping helps. Grease interceptors are pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. Watch for slow drains, odors, or wet spots near the tank as warning signs. Septic tank warning signs covers what to look for. Septic pumping service and grease trap pumping are available in Laredo. Most calls run $150 to $250 for standard pumping.
Do you rent restroom trailers for events?
Restroom trailer rental units run from 2 stalls to 8 stalls with hot water, flush toilets and sinks. Luxury models include climate control. They're ideal for weddings, festivals and outdoor corporate events in Laredo where portable toilets aren't enough.
Can I place a portable toilet in the street or on public land?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. Contact the permitting office directly. We help coordinate but cannot guarantee approval without a local check.
What's the difference between a portable sink and a handwashing station?
A portable sink holds water and drains to a tank; it's standalone. A handwashing station rental typically refers to a unit with running water, soap dispenser and towels or a hand dryer, meeting 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) for general industry and OSHA rules for construction sites where employees handle paints, coatings or herbicides.
Do you have storage containers and temporary fencing?
Yes. Storage container rental comes in 20 and 40 foot units for equipment, materials and documents. Temporary fence rental secures construction zones, events and equipment. Monthly storage runs $100 to $250.
