How to reach us
Gaithersburg Porta Pros takes calls during business hours and responds to emails within one business day. Tell us what you need: the type of unit, how long you'll rent it, where it goes and when you need delivery. If you're not sure whether you need one unit or five, describe the job and we'll walk you through the math. A construction site with 30 workers has different needs than a wedding for 75 guests, and both differ from a grease trap pumping call. We quote by phone and email.
What information to have ready
Most jobs take five minutes to quote. Have the site address in Gaithersburg or the surrounding area, the date you need the unit, and the duration. For septic pumping, tell us whether you've had the tank pumped before and roughly how many people use the system. For construction, mention the number of workers. For an event, the headcount helps. If you need ADA accessible units, say so. If placement in the public right of way is part of your plan, confirm that need with the city beforehand. We'll place units on private property without a permit in most cases. Multiple small jobs sometimes cost less combined than separately, and we can tell you if that applies. A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size, per industry guidance.
Service area and delivery
We deliver to Gaithersburg and the towns within roughly 5 miles: Flower Hill lies 1.9 miles northeast, Montgomery Village 3.9 miles north, Derwood 4.1 miles southeast, Redland 4.6 miles east and North Potomac 5.4 miles southwest. Delivery fees depend on distance and unit type. A roll-off dumpster needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to set down safely. A standard portable toilet is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands about 92 inches tall. If your site is tight, call before you book. We also rent storage containers, temporary fencing, and restroom trailers that fit different spaces. Some construction sites ask about OSHA portable toilet requirements, which mandate one facility for 20 workers or fewer under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1). We help count.
Frequently asked questions
What's the fastest way to rent?
Call. We answer phones during business hours and often quote same-day. If we have the unit in stock and your delivery date works, you can rent by end of day. A porta-potty per day rental starts fast. Email works too if you prefer, but phone is quicker for urgent jobs.
Do you deliver on weekends?
We deliver seven days a week depending on your rental date and unit type. Weekend delivery may carry a higher fee than a weekday delivery for the same unit. Ask when you call or fill the form.
Can you help me figure out how many toilets I need?
Yes. Read the how many porta potties do I need guide or call us. We use worker count, event size and job duration to calculate it. OSHA rules apply on construction sites.
What if I need to cancel or shorten the rental?
Call as soon as you know. Cancellation terms depend on the rental length and how far away the delivery date is. We'll discuss it honestly.
How do I know when my unit will arrive?
We confirm the delivery window 24 hours before. You'll get a call from the driver with a time window on the morning of delivery. For monthly rentals, we service it on a standing schedule and tell you the day.
