How many portable toilets do I need?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline for construction: 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up to 200, and 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. For events in Newport News, the count depends on duration and expected traffic. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground. We'll size the cluster based on your headcount, then position them away from food prep and drinking water. See how many porta potties do I need for the full breakdown.
What's included in a weekly rental?
Weekly rentals across Newport News include one service visit per week under the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline interval for sanitation service. A standard unit costs between 130 and 500 dollars per week depending on options. That covers the unit itself, one pump-out and waste removal, and basic restocking of toilet paper and hand sanitizer. Delivery is separate. If you need more frequent service, for example, a high-traffic event site, let us know and we'll quote a daily rate instead. Check porta potty rental per day and monthly porta potty rental for other durations.
Do I need handwashing stations on site?
Yes, if your crew is applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides. OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities where harmful contaminants may be present. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), those stations must have soap and towels or a hand drying device; hand sanitizer alone does not meet code. Newport News job sites that involve hazardous materials need at least one handwashing station rental alongside toilets. We pair them with portable sinks and supply refills on your service day.
What about septic tank pumping?
A residential septic tank in Newport News is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. A grease interceptor is pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. If you've got a backed-up drain or slow drainage, call for emergency septic service. We also offer septic tank cleaning and grease trap pumping for commercial kitchens. Septic pumping runs 150 to 300 dollars per day for emergency work.
What can't go in a dumpster?
Batteries, tires, paint, propane tanks, asbestos, fluorescent bulbs and medical waste are banned from most dumpsters. Check what cannot go in a dumpster for the complete list. A 20 yard dumpster rental costs 426 to 778 dollars per week in Newport News, and we enforce weight limits to keep trucks safe. Hazardous materials need special handling and a separate quote. Call us before you throw anything unusual into the bin.
How far do you deliver?

Can I rent a restroom trailer for an event?
Yes. Restroom trailer rental works for weddings, festivals, concerts and other gatherings. A 2-stall unit costs between 150 and 1,650 dollars per week; larger configurations run higher. Trailers include flushing toilets, sinks and hand soap, plus weekly service. We can place one at your Newport News venue and handle all the logistics.
Do porta potties freeze in winter?
Portable toilets keep working in cold weather, but the tank slows down below freezing. Ice buildup and blocked vents are the main issues. We monitor the forecast and add antifreeze treatments to units rented during winter months in Newport News. See porta potty in winter for details on seasonal care.
What about ADA accessible units?
ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of clustered units, and never fewer than one, to be accessible. An ADA unit has a 32 inch clear door opening width per ADA Standards section 404.2.3, a 60 inch diameter turning circle per ADA Standards section 304.3.1, and a 36 inch minimum clear route width per ADA Standards section 403.5.1. ADA accessible porta potty rental runs 120 to 400 dollars per day in Newport News.
How much does a storage container cost?
Monthly storage container rental runs 100 to 250 dollars per month. Storage container rental is ideal for tool storage, equipment staging and material protection during home renovation or construction. A 20-foot unit holds more than you'd think. We also rent mobile office trailers if you need workspace on the job.
