Gardena Porta Pros rents 7 types of portable sanitation and site equipment: portable toilets, septic pumping, dumpsters, storage containers, restroom trailers, temporary fencing and handwashing stations. We answer the questions our customers ask most. Whether you're running a construction job, hosting an event or managing an emergency, these answers cover what you need to know before you call.
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the standard for construction sites: 1 toilet facility serves 20 workers or fewer; add 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers once you're at 20; at 200 or more workers, add 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers. The math depends on your crew size and how long they're working. A small renovation crew of five people needs one standard porta potty. A 60-person crew on a multi-week project needs at least 2 units. Events in Gardena operate under different rules. A wedding or festival will need more toilets than the OSHA formula suggests because guests use them faster and less predictably. Call us with your head count and we'll tell you what works.
A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, standing roughly 92 inches tall. That volume serves roughly 10 users over a 40-hour week before a service visit. We pump and restock once a week as baseline maintenance under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. If your site has more users or longer hours, we service more often. A deluxe flushable porta potty holds the same volume but delivers a flushing experience closer to a permanent restroom. See porta potty rental per day for pricing on upgraded units. For jobs where comfort matters or where workers stay longer, the upgrade pays for itself.
A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. We pull out the accumulated solids and scum, leaving the tank ready to process wastewater again. A grease interceptor (or grease trap) is pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth, which happens faster than septic tanks need service. A restaurant or food truck in Gardena needs grease trap pumping every 2 to 4 weeks; a home kitchen rarely needs it at all. Both jobs require licensed equipment and trained operators. Check septic tank pumping cost for pricing detail or read about septic tank warning signs to know when service is urgent.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery. Some jobs require a permit; some don't. Dumpsters on private property usually sit on the customer's land without issue. Call the city or ask us when you request a quote, and we'll help you navigate what Gardena requires. A 10 yard dumpster fits most home renovations; 20 yard, 30 yard and 40 yard sizes handle larger jobs. We deliver the container, haul it away when full and dispose of the contents. See what cannot go in a dumpster before you load.
Yes, if your crew is applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides. OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities where those contaminants are present. Handwashing stations must supply soap and a towel or hand dryer; 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) says hand sanitizer alone doesn't meet the requirement. Sites in Gardena that work with those materials need a portable sink rental at the job. We deliver it, fill it with potable water and service it weekly. General construction sites without hazardous chemicals don't require handwashing stations under OSHA rules, though providing one keeps crews cleaner and safer.
Daily rates run 100 to 350 dollars. Weekly rentals run 130 to 500 dollars. Monthly rates run 125 to 325 dollars. Delivery fees sit in the 50 to 150 dollar range weekly and 100 to 500 dollars daily. See porta potty rental cost for exact pricing on the unit you need.
We pump and restock weekly as standard maintenance. Busier sites get service twice a week or more. An event running a single weekend calls for Friday arrival and Monday pickup, with a service visit Saturday if needed.
Yes. A restroom trailer holds multiple stalls with running water, flushing toilets and sometimes heating or air conditioning. Prices run 150 to 1650 dollars weekly depending on the trailer size. We stock 2 stall, 4 stall and 8 stall models; see restroom trailer rental cost for exact quotes.
