How many portable toilets do I need?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets minimums for construction sites: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers up to 200, then one per 50 workers at 200 or more. For events, the math is different. You're looking at one unit per 100 guests at a casual gathering, one per 75 at a festival where people stay longer. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground. Read more on how many porta potties you need for your specific job. If you're unsure, call us with your headcount and we'll size it right.
What does a weekly rental cost?
Weekly porta potty rentals run 130 to 500 dollars depending on unit type and service frequency. A standard portable toilet costs 130 to 500 per week. An ADA accessible unit runs 120 to 240 per week. A deluxe flushable model costs 150 to 290 per week. Most rentals include one service visit per week, which covers pumping, restocking toilet paper and sanitizer, and cleaning. Placement in Denton's public right of way needs confirming with the city. Get a quote for your exact dates and location.
When should I pump my septic tank?
A residential septic tank gets pumped every 3 to 5 years, but household size and tank capacity drive the schedule. If you're building, renovating or running a business in Denton, septic tank pumping removes solids and prevents overflow into drainfields. A grease interceptor pumps when fats, oils, grease and solids hit 25 percent of the liquid depth. Emergency service is available if you're facing backup or a failed inspection.
Do I need a handwashing station?
Yes, if employees are applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides on your job. OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities at those sites. Hand sanitizer alone does not meet code. You need soap and towels or a hand drying device per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2). Denton Porta Pros rents portable handwashing stations that hook to your water supply. They're required on many construction sites and renovation projects in Denton. Ask us about placement when you book.
What can't go in a dumpster?
Hazardous waste, tires, batteries, refrigerators and appliances with refrigerant are prohibited. Electronics, paint cans with liquid still inside, asbestos and medical waste don't go in a roll-off either. Soil and rock are heavy; overweight loads trigger extra fees. Read what cannot go in a dumpster for the full list. When you rent a roll-off dumpster from Denton Porta Pros, we'll confirm what your job generates and size the right container. Most construction waste, yard debris and general demolition material is fine.

Can I rent equipment for just one day?
Yes. Daily rates are lower than per-event pricing but higher than weekly. A standard portable toilet runs 100 to 350 dollars per day. Delivery fees apply. Call for a quote on your exact dates and location.
Does a porta potty smell bad?
No if it's serviced right. Weekly pumping and chemical treatment kill odors. Ventilation through the roof vent also helps. A well-maintained unit from Denton Porta Pros stays fresh. Read more on porta potty odor if you're worried about guest comfort at an event.
What's the difference between a standard and deluxe unit?
A deluxe flushable model has an electric flush, running water, a sink, soap and hand sanitizer built in. It's taller and wider than a standard unit. Deluxe models cost more to rent but feel like a real bathroom. Standard units are chemical toilets with a foot pump and tank below. Both work fine; deluxe is better for events where guests expect comfort.
Do you deliver same-day?
Call and ask. Availability depends on our schedule and your location in Denton. Emergency porta potty rental sometimes happens the same day if we have stock.
