How many portable toilets do I need for my event or job site?
The math depends on how many people use them and for how long. On construction sites, OSHA 1926.51(c) requires 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers up to 200, and 1 per 50 workers at 200 or more. For events, figure one unit per 50 guests if they're there for a few hours, and one per 25 if it's an all-day affair. How Many Porta Potties Do I Need in Indianapolis, IN walks through the sizing. A standard porta potty works for most jobs. If you need something with flushing and a sink, we rent deluxe flushable units instead. Call us with your headcount and we'll tell you what fits the work.
What's the difference between standard, deluxe and ADA units?
Standard units are basic: a toilet, seat, and holding tank. They're the backbone of job sites across Indianapolis. A deluxe unit adds a flushing toilet and a built-in sink with soap and paper towels, which meets 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) for washing facilities. ADA accessible units are wider (about 60 inches wide) to fit a wheelchair, with grab bars, a lower seat and a 32 inch door opening per ADA Standards section 404.2.3. All three stand roughly 92 inches tall. If your site has workers applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires handwashing with soap and towels on site. Deluxe units satisfy that. ADA Accessible Porta Potty details the access specs. Standard units cost the least; deluxe runs higher; ADA is the premium option. We service all three weekly as part of a routine rental.
What does a septic pump service cost and how often do I need it?
Residential septic tanks are typically pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on tank size and household size. A pumping runs $150 to $300 per visit in Indianapolis. If you're not sure when yours was last pumped or you notice slow drains, wet spots in the yard, or odors near the tank, it's time. Grease interceptors at restaurants fill faster: we pump those when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. Septic Pumping Service in Indianapolis, IN covers the details. We also rent holding tanks for temporary use and storage containers if you need them.
How far out do you deliver, and what does delivery cost?

A delivery fee runs $50 to $150 per drop-off depending on distance and rental length. Weekend deliveries cost more. Roll-off dumpsters need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to set down, so confirm your driveway or lot space before booking.

Can I rent a restroom trailer for a large event?

We deliver and set them up at weddings, festivals, corporate events and film sets across Indianapolis. They're ideal when you need real bathrooms for 100 guests or more. Ask about luxury restroom trailer options if appearance matters.
How often do you service rental units?
Weekly is the standard interval. That means we pump out the tank, refresh the seat and supplies, and check for damage or wear. More frequent service is available if your site runs heavy. One visit per week covers up to about 10 users over a 40 hour work week per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3.
Do I need a permit to place a porta potty on my property?
Placement in public right of way needs confirming with the city. We recommend you call ahead. Private property placements are usually fine, but ask your local permitting office if you're unsure.
