How many portable toilets do I need on my job site?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up, and one toilet seat and one urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. If your crew works 40 hours a week on a construction site in Madera, count your people and size up. Events and festivals often need more units per person because usage spikes over a shorter window. Call us with your headcount and timeline, and we'll size the job right. See our guide on how many porta potties you actually need for the math behind short-term rentals.
What's the cost difference between standard and deluxe units?
Standard units run daily rates in the range of most jobs, while deluxe flushable models cost more because they include a hand-operated flush, a sink with running water and an interior that reads more like a restroom than a portable toilet. Neither meets the handwashing requirements under OSHA rules for paints, coatings and herbicides, those jobs need a separate handwashing station rental with soap and a hand drying device, per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2). ADA accessible units cost more still because they must be wider, have grab bars and meet turning-space standards. Get a quote and we'll show you side by side.
How often does Madera Porta Pros service the units?
One service visit per week is the baseline for up to 10 users over a standard 40-hour work week. Heavier-use sites and events need more frequent pumping. Agricultural work in Madera often runs longer hours, so farms sometimes schedule twice weekly. We empty the tank, add treatment, sanitize the seat and restock supplies every visit. Weekend emergency service is available if a unit fails. Call for same-day response.
What if I need more than a portable toilet?
Roll-off dumpsters handle construction debris and renovation waste on job sites across Madera. Storage containers work for tools and materials when you need locked, weather-proof space. Restroom trailers are the right choice for sites that need hot water, multiple stalls or showers, film sets, weddings and large events often use them. Temporary fencing keeps pedestrians and equipment safe. We deliver all of it, and the dumpster needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind our truck. See construction site services for the full menu.
Do I need a permit for a porta potty in Madera?
That depends on where you want to place it. Public right-of-way placement in Madera needs confirming with the city, contact the Public Works Department directly for current rules. Private property like a job site or farm usually doesn't need a permit, but commercial events sometimes do. We handle placement questions with every rental. Don't guess. Ask us when you call.

Yes. We serve Madera Acres, about 4.4 miles north, Parkwood at 4.5 miles southeast, Parksdale 5.0 miles east, Chowchilla 15.2 miles northwest, and Kerman 18.4 miles south. Call with your job site address and we'll tell you what we can do.
Can I rent a septic pump truck?
Yes. Septic pumping service handles residential tanks, which are typically pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on tank size and household size. We also pump grease traps at restaurants when fats, oils and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. Weekend emergency pumping is available.
