How fast can you deliver?
Most orders land in 24 to 48 hours. Same-day happens when a truck is free, so call early. If a unit tips, clogs or a hurricane rolls through, we run emergency porta potty rental and emergency septic service. For storm cleanup and shelters, see disaster relief sanitation. We need a clear spot the truck can reach. A roll-off dumpster rental needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so measure before we come. A standard toilet sits on a footprint about 44 by 48 inches and stands roughly 92 inches tall, so watch for low branches and wires. Placement on a public street or sidewalk needs confirming with the City of Gaithersburg first, and we won't guess at a rule that isn't ours to quote. The placement guide and permit requirements page cover the rest. Ready now? Contact us.
Which porta potty unit is right for you?
Four main choices. The standard porta potty fits crews, cleanups and casual events. The deluxe flushable unit adds a flush and a sink, good for weddings and nicer gatherings. The ADA accessible unit is a wheelchair-friendly single that meets ADA Standards section 404.2.3, which sets a 32 inch minimum clear door opening. When you want indoor-style comfort, a restroom trailer rental is the step up, from a 2 stall trailer to an 8 stall trailer. Big formal event? Look at the luxury restroom trailer. Multi-day crew needs a wash? Add a shower trailer. Every standard toilet carries a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank, so it goes a while between services. If you're picking for a wedding or a festival, match the unit to the crowd, not the price tag. See all the portable restroom options.
How many porta potties do you need?
Depends on headcount and hours. For a jobsite, OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the count: one toilet for up to 20 workers, then a toilet and a urinal per 40 workers as the crew grows past 20. Our OSHA portable toilet requirements page lays out the whole table, and the how many do I need guide runs the math for events. A rough event rule: one unit per 50 to 100 guests over a few hours, more if there's drinking. Under ADA Standards section 213.2, when you cluster single-user toilets, at least 5 percent and never fewer than one must be accessible, so budget an ADA unit into any public gathering. For farms, OSHA 1928.110 puts field sanitation within a quarter-mile walk of hand-labor crews. Marathons and races? See race restrooms. Getting the count right up front beats scrambling mid-event.
How does service work?
We drop the unit, we come back and clean it, we haul it away when you're done. The service standard ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, and that's what we schedule unless traffic is heavier. A service visit pumps the tank, refills paper and hand cleaner, and wipes the unit down. Curious what that looks like? The how often are porta potties cleaned page explains it, and do porta potties smell answers the question everyone thinks. If you want soap and towels at the unit, add a handwashing station rental; note that 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and drying, and hand sanitizer alone doesn't meet it. A hand sanitizer station is a supplement, not a swap. Cold months change the routine, so read porta potty in winter. Want the mechanics? See how do porta potties work.
What else can Gaithersburg Porta Pros bring?
More than toilets. We run roll-off dumpsters in 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes for renovations and demo, and the dumpster sizes and dimensions page helps you pick. Check what cannot go in a dumpster and the weight limits before you load. Building? A construction dumpster pairs with your toilets. We also rent storage containers in 20ft and 40ft, plus a mobile office trailer. Need to secure a lot? Grab a temporary fence rental or crowd control barriers. On the septic side, we do septic pumping, tank cleaning and grease trap pumping; a grease interceptor gets pumped once fats, oils, grease and solids hit 25 percent of the liquid depth. A home septic tank in Gaithersburg usually needs pumping every 3 to 5 years.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is the cheapest porta potty rental?
A standard porta potty is the low end, from about 100 dollars a day. Weekly and monthly rates change the per-day math, so a longer rental usually costs less per day. See porta potty rental cost for the full picture and ask for a quote.
Do I need a permit to place a porta potty?
On your own property, usually not. On a public street or sidewalk in Gaithersburg, placement needs confirming with the city first, and we won't quote a rule that isn't ours. The permit requirements page explains what to ask before you book with Gaithersburg Porta Pros.
How often is a rental serviced?
Once a week is the baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, sized for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Heavy use gets more visits. Each stop pumps the 60 to 70 gallon tank and restocks supplies. See how often are porta potties cleaned.
What's the difference between a standard and deluxe unit?
The standard unit has a seat and a urinal. The deluxe flushable unit adds a foot-flush and an interior sink, so it suits weddings and formal events. For real indoor comfort, step up to a restroom trailer.
Can you deliver same day in Gaithersburg?
Sometimes. Most orders arrive in 24 to 48 hours, but if a truck is free we'll try for same day. Storm and outage jobs go to emergency porta potty rental. Call Gaithersburg Porta Pros early and we'll tell you what's open.
Do handwashing stations meet OSHA rules?
For crews applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), soap and towels or a dryer are required, and sanitizer alone doesn't count. Add a handwashing station or a portable sink.
How often should a septic tank be pumped?
A residential tank in Gaithersburg is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, set by tank size and household size. Watch for slow drains and odor. See septic tank warning signs, how often to pump, and book septic pumping service.
