How far is Fairhaven from New Bedford?
Fairhaven lies 4.9 miles southeast of New Bedford, roughly a 10 minute drive from our headquarters. That short distance works in your favor. A standard unit costs 130 to 500 dollars per week depending on rental length and service frequency, and our close proximity keeps those delivery fees reasonable. Check our service areas page to confirm coverage for your exact street. If you're renting for a construction project, we can discuss whether weekly service on your schedule makes sense or if you'd prefer a longer monthly commitment. Many Fairhaven contractors book units for the full job duration and adjust the service interval based on site activity.
What types of portable restrooms does New Bedford Porta Pros rent?
We stock three main categories. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons, measures roughly 44 by 48 inches on the ground, and stands about 92 inches tall. It's the workhorse for most sites. Our deluxe flushable porta potty has a flushing mechanism and improved interior finish, running 150 to 290 dollars weekly. For compliance with ADA Standards section 213.2, which requires at least one accessible unit where single-user toilets are clustered, we rent ADA accessible porta potties that meet clear-width and turning-circle requirements. An accessible unit typically costs 120 to 240 dollars per week.
If your Fairhaven event or job site needs more capacity or private stalls, we also offer restroom trailers ranging from 2 to 8 stalls. A 4-stall restroom trailer suits medium events, while larger festivals and weddings often choose the 8-stall model. Trailers include handwashing stations and run on a separate delivery and service schedule from portable toilets.
What does OSHA require for portable toilets on construction sites?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets toilet-to-worker ratios. For 20 workers or fewer, you need 1 facility. From 20 to 40 workers, add 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per additional 40 workers. At 200 or more workers, the ratio becomes 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers. This standard applies across Massachusetts, including Fairhaven job sites. New Bedford Porta Pros helps you calculate the unit count you need based on your crew size and project timeline. We also ensure OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) compliance by delivering potable water in all our restroom trailers and maintaining supply during service visits. Many Fairhaven general contractors call us early in the planning phase so we can lock in rental rates and confirm delivery logistics before the first day of work.
For sites where crews apply paints, coatings or herbicides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires dedicated washing facilities with soap and towels or a hand drying device, not hand sanitizer alone per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2). Our handwashing stations and portable sinks meet those rules and can be placed next to your portable toilet cluster.
Can you rent a porta potty for a Fairhaven event or wedding?
Yes. Whether your gathering is at a Fairhaven park, private property or waterfront venue, New Bedford Porta Pros delivers and services units on your timeline. Event rentals often run 1 to 3 days, and we quote weekend rates separately because demand is highest Saturday and Sunday. A standard unit for a wedding restroom rental or festival weekend typically ranges from 125 to 400 dollars depending on whether you add service mid-event. Many Fairhaven couples hosting 50 to 150 guests choose a deluxe unit or a small 2-stall restroom trailer for better appearance and comfort. We place units discreetly and include a service visit before the event starts.
Placement rules for events on public land in Fairhaven should be confirmed with the municipality; permit requirements vary. We can advise based on past jobs but recommend calling the town directly for current rules. Once you have the green light, we handle delivery, setup and post-event pickup the same day or next morning.
Frequently asked questions
How often does New Bedford Porta Pros service portable toilets?
One service visit per week is the baseline interval for up to 10 users over a 40 hour work week, per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. We empty the tank, restock toilet paper and hand sanitizer, and inspect the unit. Busier sites or events with heavier use get daily service or mid-week extra visits. You choose the schedule when you book.
What happens if my Fairhaven job site needs a dumpster too?
We rent roll-off dumpsters in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. A roll-off truck needs roughly 60 feet of straight clearance behind it for safe placement. Weekly dumpster rental runs 426 to 778 dollars, and we haul waste daily or as your contract specifies. Many Fairhaven construction projects rent both a portable toilet and a dumpster from us as a package, which simplifies billing and coordination.
Do you deliver on weekends?
Yes. Weekend delivery and service carry a premium. A standard unit for Saturday or Sunday typically costs 125 to 400 dollars per day. Call us early in your planning if you need weekend placement; we hold inventory for regular customers but volume is highest Friday through Sunday.
What should I do if my Fairhaven site is close to the New Bedford line?
Check your exact address against our service areas map. If you're in Fairhaven proper or the immediate surrounding zones we cover, we service you at the rates listed here.
