How many portable toilets do I need?
OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline: for 20 workers or fewer, you need 1 toilet facility; from 20 to 200 workers, add 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers; at 200 or more, add 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers. For events in Hartford, the calculation shifts. A 200-person wedding needs a different setup than a 200-person construction crew. How Many Porta Potties Do I Need in Hartford, CT walks through the math for your exact scenario. When you're unsure, call and we'll count with you.
What does a standard unit cost?
A standard porta potty rental runs $100 to $350 per day, $130 to $500 per week, or $125 to $325 per month. Deluxe units with flushing run $85 to $1200 per day and cost more overall. ADA accessible toilets meet the 36-inch minimum clear width and 60-inch turning circle required by ADA Standards section 404.2.3 and section 304.3.1. Delivery fees typically land between $50 and $150 per week. Check current pricing for the exact rate in your area of Hartford.
How often do the toilets get serviced?
One service visit per week is the baseline interval under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 for up to 10 users over a 40-hour week. In Hartford, we can increase frequency if your site demands it. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons. When you're running a high-traffic event or a large crew, daily service keeps everything fresh. How Often Are Porta Potties Cleaned in Hartford, CT covers what to expect in detail.
What if I need washing facilities?
If your crew applies paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities on site. Portable sinks and handwashing stations include soap and towels or a hand drying device, which satisfies 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2). Hand sanitiser alone does not meet the rule. We rent portable handwashing stations that hook to your water supply or run on their own. If you're unsure whether your work triggers the requirement, ask us when you call.
Can I rent a restroom trailer instead?
Yes. A restroom trailer gives you multiple stalls, climate control and running water in one unit. These work best for longer projects and large events in Hartford. A 2-stall restroom trailer fits tighter sites; a 4-stall model handles bigger crowds. 8-stall trailers are available for festivals and outdoor weddings. Trailers cost more than standard toilets but they last longer and feel more like permanent restrooms. Check restroom trailer rental cost for the current weekly and monthly rates.
What about dumpsters and storage?
Hartford Porta Pros rents roll-off dumpsters in 10, 20, 30 and 40-yard sizes. A standard roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck. Dumpster rentals run $51 to $112 per day, $426 to $778 per week, or $91 to $500 per month depending on size. Storage containers rent from $100 to $250 per month for 20-foot and 40-foot units. See dumpster sizes and dimensions and storage container rental cost to compare options.
How does septic pumping work?
A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. A grease trap gets pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. We handle both septic pumping service and septic tank cleaning in Hartford and surrounding towns like Glastonbury (11.1 miles southeast) and New Britain (11.7 miles southwest). If you see slow drains or smell sewage, call for emergency septic service.

Do you rent fencing for events?

What can't go in a dumpster?

Are portable toilets accessible for people with disabilities?
Yes. An ADA accessible porta potty meets ADA Standards and includes a 32-inch minimum clear door opening, stable ground surface and operable parts usable with one hand.
What's the difference between a portable toilet and a restroom trailer?
A portable toilet is a single unit on wheels; a restroom trailer is larger, has multiple stalls and includes running water and climate control. Trailers suit longer jobs and bigger events.
