Yakima Porta Pros rents 6 types of equipment: portable toilets, septic pumping, dumpsters, storage containers, temporary fencing and handwashing stations. We answer the questions our customers ask most. Whether you're managing a construction crew, running an event or need emergency septic service, you'll find the details here.
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline: 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer on a construction site; 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. But job type matters too. An outdoor event in Yakima needs fewer units than a construction site with the same headcount, because people use them over different hours. A standard porta potty rental holds 60 to 70 gallons and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground. Call us with your specifics and we'll size the order right.
A standard unit is the baseline: a chemical toilet that gets serviced once a week under normal use. A deluxe flushable porta potty has a flush mechanism, running water and a sink, so it feels closer to a real restroom. Deluxe units cost more to rent and require more frequent service because they hold less waste. If your crew works in Yakima for a month or longer, deluxe makes sense. For a weekend event or short job, standard saves money. See porta potty rental cost for pricing on both.
Yes, if you have employees with disabilities or expect public access. ADA Standards section 213.2 says that where single-user portable toilet units are clustered, at least 5 percent, and never fewer than one unit, must be accessible. An ADA accessible porta potty is taller, wider inside, and has grab bars and a 60 inch diameter turning circle per ADA Standards section 304.3.1. Yakima Porta Pros stocks accessible units and can place them where your site plan requires. Budget higher than standard rental rates for this upgrade.
ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the portable sanitation service standard, calls for one service visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. In Yakima, we service on a fixed schedule; if your site runs 24 hours or has heavy use, we add visits. Each service call pumps the tank, restocks supplies and sanitizes. Check how often are porta potties cleaned for more detail on what that visit includes.
If employees apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides on your Yakima job, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) says you need soap and towels or a hand drying device, hand sanitiser alone does not meet code. A handwashing station rental gives you running water on site. We deliver and service them like toilets. Non-construction workplaces have different rules; see handwashing requirements to confirm what applies to you.
A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. If you're on septic in Yakima, don't wait for trouble. Watch for slow drains, soggy lawn spots or odors, those are signs your tank needs pumping now. Yakima Porta Pros offers septic pumping service and can check a grease interceptor too. A grease interceptor is pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth.
No. Hazardous waste, liquids, tires, appliances and some metals cannot go in a roll-off dumpster rental. Yakima has specific rules on what landfills accept. Read what cannot go in a dumpster before you load. When in doubt, ask us. We help Yakima contractors stay compliant every day.
