How many portable toilets do I need?
The count depends on your workers and how long they're there. For construction sites under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1), you need one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer. Once you hit 20 to 40 workers, add one toilet seat and one urinal. At 200 or more workers, the ratio shifts to one toilet seat and one urinal per 50 workers. Events run different math: a festival or wedding with 100 guests typically needs 3 to 4 units for a day. A porta potty rental checklist breaks this down by job type. Call us with your headcount and duration and we'll size the order right. Cincinnati job sites send us the crew roster and we handle it from there.
What's the difference between a standard and a deluxe unit?
A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, standing 92 inches tall. It's what you see on most construction sites: a locked single-stall with a vent and a tissue dispenser. A deluxe flushable porta potty has an actual flush valve, running water, and a sink inside. Deluxe units cost more per day because they need power and plumbing hookup. Standard units get weekly service under the baseline interval set by ANSI/PSAI Z4.3.

Can I rent a portable restroom for one day?
Yes. Cincinnati Porta Pros rents by the day, weekend, week or month. A porta potty rental per day runs between $100 and $350, depending on the unit type and whether you need delivery. Weekend rates are higher. If you're renting for an event or a short job, day and weekend pricing makes sense. Monthly porta potty rental works out cheaper per day if you need it longer than two weeks. Get a quote and we'll show you the math.
What are the ADA requirements for accessible restrooms?
An accessible unit must meet ADA Standards section 213.2: if you're clustering single-user portable toilets, at least 5 percent of them, and never fewer than one, must be accessible. The door opening width has to be 32 inches minimum clear width per ADA Standards section 404.2.3, and the route to it must be 36 inches wide. You'll need a 60 inch diameter turning circle inside. An ADA accessible porta potty costs more than a standard unit but it keeps your job compliant. Check your site layout with the ADA requirements before you finalize placement.
Do I need a permit to place a portable toilet in Cincinnati?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before you order. Cincinnati has rules about sidewalk use and street access, and we recommend calling ahead. Cincinnati Porta Pros can advise on typical placements on private property. If you're setting up at a residence or a commercial site in Cincinnati, placement on your own land is usually straightforward. For details on the rules, see porta potty permit requirements.
What else do you rent besides portable toilets?
Cincinnati Porta Pros also handles roll-off dumpster rental for demolition and construction debris, septic pumping service for residential and commercial tanks, restroom trailer rental for events and large job sites, storage container rental for short and long-term holding, temporary fence rental for crowd control and site security, and handwashing station rental for job sites where employees are applying paints, coatings or herbicides. A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. Handwashing facilities must have soap and towels or a hand drying device per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2). Call us and we'll bundle what you need.
How fast can you deliver to my Cincinnati location?
Same day or next day almost always. We keep units in stock and we coordinate with your schedule. A roll-off dumpster needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck. Call ahead so we can confirm access to your address.
What if I need emergency service?
We have emergency porta potty rental and emergency septic service available. Call and tell us what broke or what you're missing. We'll move fast.
Can I rent portable toilets for a wedding or event?
Yes. Event restroom rental and wedding restroom rental are common jobs. We can place deluxe units for a polished look or standard units if you're running a construction site or farm event. Let us know your guest count and layout.
How much does septic pumping cost?
A septic tank pumping cost depends on tank size and location. Service calls run between $150 and $300. A grease interceptor is pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. Call for a quote on your address.
