How many portable toilets do I need for a construction site?
The count depends on how many workers you have on the job. Under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1), a construction site with 20 workers or fewer needs 1 toilet facility. Sites with 20 to 200 workers need 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers. At 200 workers and above, that jumps to 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers. Don't guess. Count your peak crew and call Huntsville Porta Pros with that number. We'll tell you exactly what code requires and what makes sense for your layout. Emergency porta potty rentals can happen the same day if you're short.
What does an ADA accessible unit look like and how many do I need?
An ADA accessible portable toilet sits about 92 inches tall with a 60-to-70 gallon tank and meets ADA Standards section 213.2, which requires at least 5 percent of clustered units to be accessible, never fewer than one. The unit is roughly 44 by 48 inches on the ground, needs clear floor space inside for a 60 inch turning circle per ADA Standards section 304.3.1, and has a 32 inch minimum clear door opening per ADA Standards section 404.2.3. If you're renting for a public event in Huntsville or a construction site open to the public, you're safest assuming 1 ADA unit for every 6 regular units. Huntsville Porta Pros sizes your accessible fleet at no extra charge.
What's the cost difference between standard and deluxe units?
Standard porta potty rental ranges from about 100 to 350 dollars per day depending on how long you rent. Deluxe flushable porta potties run 85 to 1200 dollars per day because they have a toilet seat, flushing mechanism and hand sanitizer built in. For week-long rentals, standards run 130 to 500 dollars per week and deluxe units run 150 to 290 dollars per week. Monthly pricing sits around 125 to 325 dollars for standard and similar range for deluxe. Exact price depends on delivery distance in Huntsville, how many units you need and your rental length.

When do you service the units and can I get weekend pickup?
Huntsville Porta Pros schedules service calls based on how many people use each unit and how long you've rented it. The industry baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 is one service visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40-hour week. Busier sites get twice weekly. We can pick up on weekends, though weekend rates are higher than weekday rates. If you need a unit on Friday and gone by Monday, we price that as a weekend rental. Tell us your timeline when you call and we'll confirm availability and pricing.
Do you rent septic pumping and other services besides portable toilets?
Yes. Huntsville Porta Pros handles septic tank pumping for residential and commercial tanks. A septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on tank size and household size. We also rent roll-off dumpsters, storage containers, restroom trailers, temporary fencing and handwashing stations. Handwashing stations matter if you're running a site where workers touch paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides. OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities in those contexts. We deliver across Huntsville and the surrounding towns.
What permit do I need to put a portable toilet in the public right of way?
Placement in public right of way needs confirming with the city. Call the city of Huntsville directly with your exact address and project scope. We'll work with whatever permit rules apply once you've checked.
Can I rent a unit for just one day or weekend?
Yes. Daily and weekend rentals are available. Weekend rates are higher than weekday daily rates because we have fewer available units on Saturday and Sunday. Call with your specific dates and we'll quote you.
What happens if a unit tips over or gets damaged during my rental?
Report it to us immediately. We insure our fleet. You're responsible for intentional damage, but accidents and wear are covered. Document what happened and call right away.
How far do you deliver and what towns do you service?
We service Huntsville and nearby towns including Madison, Redstone Arsenal, Triana, Harvest, Moores Mill, Meridianville, Athens and Decatur. Delivery fees vary by distance. Call with your address for an accurate quote.
Do you have deluxe restroom trailers for events?
Yes. Restroom trailer rental runs from 2 stall to 8 stall models. These are flushing toilet systems with running water, sinks and climate control. Trailers cost more than standard units but they're worth it for weddings, festivals and corporate events in Huntsville where appearance and comfort matter.
