How many portable toilets do I need?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline for construction sites: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers up to 20, and one per 50 workers once you hit 200. For events and non-construction work, the math differs. A wedding with 100 guests needs fewer units than a 12-hour festival with the same headcount because guests at a wedding use facilities over four hours, not eight. Call The Woodlands Porta Pros with your headcount, duration and use case. We'll size the order correctly. You can also read our how many porta potties guide for deeper detail on calculation.
What does The Woodlands Porta Pros deliver?
Portable toilets are the core service. A standard porta potty rental runs $150 per day, a deluxe flushable unit sits higher, and ADA accessible toilets accommodate guests with mobility needs under ADA Standards section 213.2, which requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster. Beyond toilets, The Woodlands Porta Pros operates septic pumping for homes and businesses, roll-off dumpsters for cleanup, restroom trailers with multiple stalls, temporary fence, handwashing stations, and storage containers. If your job spans The Woodlands and nearby towns like Tomball 11.6 miles southwest or Spring 14.5 miles southeast, we service all of it.

How often do portable toilets get serviced?
A standard unit in The Woodlands gets pumped once per week under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the industry baseline for up to 10 users over a 40-hour week. High-traffic sites need twice-weekly service. You don't schedule service yourself. The Woodlands Porta Pros includes it in your rental. Deluxe units and restroom trailers follow the same interval. Septic tanks at residential properties pump every 3 to 5 years depending on household size and tank capacity. Read how often portable toilets are cleaned for more detail on maintenance frequency and what happens at each visit.
Do I need a permit to place a portable toilet?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. Call The Woodlands Porta Pros before you finalize your site plan. Private property placements usually don't require permits, but local rules shift. We handle placement logistics. A porta potty placement guide walks through access requirements: a standard unit sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands 92 inches tall, so you'll need a flat, level spot that fits those dimensions. If you're renting for a construction site, read OSHA portable toilet requirements to confirm the count your crew needs.
How is a grease trap different from a septic tank?
A grease trap intercepts fats, oils, grease and solids before they reach your septic tank or municipal sewer line. It pumps when solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. A septic tank handles all household waste. The Woodlands Porta Pros pumps both. They're the same service call, different vessel.
Can I rent a portable toilet for just one day?
Yes. Daily rental prices apply. A standard unit costs $150 per day. Weekend rates run higher. Call The Woodlands Porta Pros directly for your exact dates.
What's the difference between a standard and deluxe portable toilet?
Deluxe units have a sink inside, a flushing mechanism, and a sealed holding tank. Standard units are the classic porta potty: a bench seat, manual operation and a basic tank. Deluxe costs more but feels more like a real restroom.
Do you deliver and pick up?
Yes. Delivery and pickup are included. We haul to your site, set it level, and pull it when the rental ends. You're responsible for keeping the area around it clear of debris per OSHA 1926.25.
What happens if the tank overflows?
Call The Woodlands Porta Pros immediately. Overflows are emergency service calls. It's rare if you order the right unit count and don't skip scheduled pumping. That's why we ask your headcount upfront.
