How many portable toilets do I need?
Worker count drives the toilet count on construction sites. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer; 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up; and 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. Events and temporary gatherings follow different math, usually 1 unit per 50 to 100 people depending on duration and usage patterns. A standard porta potty rental holds 60 to 70 gallons and sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, which matters when you're calculating placement space. Call us with your headcount and event length and we'll specify the exact number for Carson City sites. Read more detail in our how many porta potties guide.
What's the difference between standard and deluxe units?
A standard unit is a basic portable toilet with a holding tank and chemical system. A deluxe flushable porta potty includes a flushing mechanism, a larger holding tank, hand sanitizer, and an internal sink. Deluxe models cost more but they're a step up in user experience and they're popular for special events and professional job sites in Carson City where guests or clients will use them. ADA accessible units meet the Americans with Disabilities Act and include wider doors (32 inches minimum clear opening), grab bars, and level approach surfaces. At least 5 percent of single-unit clusters must be accessible under ADA Standards section 213.2, and never fewer than one unit.
When should I pump my septic tank?
A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. Commercial systems and high-traffic sites pump more often. A grease interceptor is pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. Carson City properties with septic systems should have a pumping schedule in place before problems start. Warning signs include slow drains, odors, or soggy patches in the yard. Our septic tank pumping service handles routine maintenance and emergency calls. We also offer grease trap pumping for commercial kitchens and food service operations.
What are the rules for handwashing stations on job sites?
Handwashing facilities are required where employees are engaged in applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, or other operations where harmful contaminants may be present under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1). General industry workplaces need washing stations with soap and towels or a hand drying device per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2); hand sanitizer alone does not meet this standard. Our handwashing station rentals include foot-pump or solar-powered units that fit any Carson City construction site or event. For more on compliance, see our handwashing requirements guide.
Can I rent a roll-off dumpster and a porta potty together?
Yes. Most construction and renovation projects in Carson City benefit from both a roll-off dumpster rental for debris and a portable toilet for workers. Dumpster delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so plan your site layout early. We coordinate placement and service schedules so both arrive on time and don't conflict. A single rental call covers everything.
