Frequently Asked Questions in Visalia, CA

Visalia Porta Pros answers 5 core questions about portable toilets, septic service, dumpsters and site equipment.

Frequently asked questions

How many portable toilets do I need for my event or job site?

OSHA 1926.51(c) requires 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer; 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up; 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. For events, the rule of thumb is one unit per 75 to 100 guests. A standard porta potty holds 60 to 70 gallons and stands about 92 inches tall. How many porta potties do you need depends on how long people will be there and whether you're serving food or alcohol. Visalia Porta Pros sizes the order to fit your headcount, duration and location. Call us with those details and we'll get it right.

What does a standard unit cost, and how much more is a deluxe?

A standard porta potty in Visalia runs $100 to $350 per day, $130 to $500 per week, or $125 to $325 per month. A deluxe flushable model costs more because it flushes and has better ventilation. Event rentals for either type start at $200 and run to $800. ADA accessible units meet ADA Standards section 213.2, which requires a 60 inch diameter turning circle and a 32 inch clear door opening. ADA models run $200 to $400 per day. Delivery and service fees apply. Check our cost page for the full breakdown.

When should I pump my septic tank?

A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. If you notice slow drains, backups or puddles near the tank in Visalia, call for emergency septic service right away. A grease interceptor is pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. Don't wait for a disaster. Visalia Porta Pros handles routine septic pumping and urgent calls the same way.

What can I put in a roll-off dumpster?

Most demolition debris, cardboard, metal and wood go in a dumpster. See what cannot go in a dumpster for the full list: hazardous waste, tires, appliances and batteries are prohibited. A roll-off dumpster needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck for safe delivery. Visalia has neighborhoods tight on space, so measure your alley or lot before you call. Dumpster sizes and dimensions range from 10 to 40 yards. Weekly rates for a 10 yard start at $426; a 20 yard runs $600 per week. Construction dumpster rental is our bread and butter.

How do handwashing stations work for construction sites?

Construction sites where employees apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides must provide washing facilities per OSHA 1926.51(f)(1). Per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), those facilities need soap and a hand drying device; hand sanitiser alone doesn't meet code. A portable handwashing station holds potable water and sits near your work area. Visalia Porta Pros delivers them with temporary fencing and storage containers as part of a full site setup.
