How many portable toilets does a construction site need?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer. From 20 to 200 workers, you need one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 people. At 200 or more, it's one of each per 50 workers. A 12-person crew pouring concrete needs one unit. A 45-person framing crew needs two. The rule scales fast. Jupiter Porta Pros calculates your crew size and delivers what OSHA requires, not a guess. Every site's different. A residential renovation in Jupiter might need one standard unit. A commercial build site might need three or four, plus restroom trailers if the job runs past a few weeks.
What's included in weekly service?
Weekly service means Jupiter Porta Pros rolls out once every seven days to pump the tank, restock toilet paper and hand sanitizer, and remove waste. One service call per week is the baseline interval under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 for up to 10 users over a 40-hour week. On a longer event or a bigger crew, we service twice weekly or move to deluxe units with larger tanks. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons. Heavy use on a hot day in Jupiter can fill that in four days. Twice-weekly stops that. Monthly rental is cheaper per day, but it only works if you're pumping at least twice a week anyway.
Can I use hand sanitizer instead of a handwashing station?
No. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and either towels or an air dryer. Hand sanitizer does not meet that. If your crew is working where they've applied paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) demands a washing station on site. Jupiter Porta Pros rents portable sinks that connect to a water supply and include soap and paper towels. A handwashing station is a separate line item, but it's required, not optional, on jobs with those contaminants.
How often should I pump my home septic tank?
A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, depending on tank size and household size. Four people in a 1,200-gallon tank usually need pumping every three to four years. Two people in a 2,000-gallon tank might go five. Jupiter Porta Pros can inspect your tank and tell you when it's ready. Don't wait for a backup. A grease trap fills faster than a septic tank because it's smaller and collects fats, oils, grease and solids. We pump it when solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth, which might be once or twice a year. Emergency septic service costs more, but a backed-up tank is worse.
Why rent a restroom trailer instead of portable toilets?
Restroom trailers have hot water, flushing toilets and real sinks. A 4-stall model looks like a construction office, not an outhouse. Crews prefer them. Events in Jupiter book them because guests expect real bathrooms. A standard portable toilet is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and 92 inches tall. A trailer is wider and taller, and it needs electrical hookup. Delivery also needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck. If your site has tight access, standard units work better. ADA accessible units are required if your event or crew includes people with mobility challenges. ADA Standards 213.2 says at least 5 percent of single-user units must be accessible, never fewer than one.

How much does a roll-off dumpster cost per week?
