How many portable toilets do I need?
OSHA requires 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer on construction sites, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers as crew size climbs. For events in Glendale, the calculation depends on expected attendance and event length. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground. Count your people, estimate bathroom visits per hour, and call us, we size orders correctly so you don't rent too many units or too few. See our How Many Porta Potties Do I Need guide for the full breakdown by scenario.
What's the difference between standard, deluxe and ADA units?
Standard units are the workhorse rental for most jobs. Deluxe models add a flushing mechanism, hand soap and a hand dryer inside. ADA accessible units meet ADA Standards section 213.2, which requires a 36 inch minimum clear width of route and a 60 inch turning circle, that's why they're larger and cost more. A single-user ADA unit must be offered when portable toilets are clustered together in Glendale. If your site needs universal access, we can tell you exactly how many ADA units to order. Check our ADA Accessible Porta Potty page for specs and pricing.
How often are units serviced and pumped?
Weekly service is the baseline interval for up to 10 users over a 40 hour work week, per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 industry standard. Busier events need twice-weekly or daily service. We empty the tank, restock supplies and sanitize. A septic tank at a home is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, depending on tank size and household size. Construction sites in Glendale usually require weekly pumping; festivals and marathons often need daily visits. Septic Pumping Service is a separate offering for residential and commercial properties. Our How Often Are Porta Potties Cleaned guide covers the schedule in detail.
Why does handwashing matter on job sites?
Where employees are applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, washing facilities are required under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1). Hand sanitizer alone doesn't meet code, you need 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) soap and towels or a hand drying device. We rent Handwashing Station Rental units with foot pumps and warm water. Many contractors in Glendale pair them with portable toilets for a complete sanitation setup on site.
Can I rent a dumpster and a porta potty together?
Absolutely. Most construction jobs need both. A Roll-Off Dumpster Rental handles debris; portable toilets handle sanitation. We coordinate delivery, placement and pickup so both arrive on schedule. A roll-off needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so check your site layout first.
What if I need a restroom trailer instead?
A Restroom Trailer Rental is the answer for larger crews, long events or jobs where a standard unit isn't enough. Trailers offer private stalls, sinks with running water, climate control and better aesthetics than standard units. They cost more but handle high-traffic scenarios in Glendale that would require five or six portable toilets otherwise.
Do I need a permit to place a portable toilet in Glendale?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. We've worked in Glendale long enough to know the rules for most locations, but call us with your address and we'll verify before we schedule delivery.
What about temporary fencing and storage containers?
We rent both. Temporary Fence Rental secures a site for safety and security. Storage Container Rental keeps tools, materials and equipment dry and locked. They work together on construction jobs and renovation projects across Glendale.
