Frequently asked questions
How many portable toilets do I need?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline for construction sites: one toilet facility per 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up to 200. At 200 or more workers, add one toilet seat and one urinal per 50 workers. The math changes for events and temporary uses, a wedding or festival in New Bedford rents differently than a job site. How Many Porta Potties Do I Need in New Bedford, MA walks you through the calculation. If you're working in Fairhaven or Acushnet Center, just 3 to 4 miles from New Bedford, the same rules apply. When in doubt, rent one extra unit and adjust down after day one.
What's the difference between standard and deluxe units?
A standard portable toilet holds 60 to 70 gallons and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground. Standard Porta Potty Rental in New Bedford, MA runs 100 to 350 dollars per day depending on how long you rent. A Deluxe Flushable Porta Potty adds a flushing mechanism, soap and hand sanitiser, and costs 85 to 1200 dollars per day. Deluxe units feel more like a bathroom and work better at events where guests care about comfort. Standard units cost less and hold up fine on construction sites. Both types are about 92 inches tall, so check your overhead clearance before ordering.
Do I need an ADA accessible unit?
Yes, if your site or event is open to the public or required by law to be accessible. ADA Standards section 213.2 require that where single-user portable toilet units are clustered, at least 5 percent, and never fewer than one, must be accessible. An ADA Accessible Porta Potty has a 36 inch clear door opening width (ADA Standards section 404.2.3), a 60 inch diameter turning circle inside (ADA Standards section 304.3.1) and a floor that's stable and slip resistant (ADA Standards section 302.1). ADA Accessible Porta Potty rentals run 200 to 400 dollars per day. New Bedford construction sites often need them; confirm your job's accessibility rules before you order.
