How many portable toilets do I need on my construction site?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the ratio: 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer; 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. A small crew of 15 needs one unit. A 50-person crew needs at least one toilet and one urinal, which a deluxe flushable porta potty can provide in a single footprint. Delano Porta Pros sizes your order to the headcount and shift length. If your site straddles a weekend, know that portable toilets cost more on weekends than weekdays. A standard porta potty rental per day in Delano runs $100 to $350, but weekend rates jump. Call us with your crew size and we'll calculate it exactly.
What happens during a septic pump visit?
A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. The truck arrives, locates your tank, pumps the solids and liquids into the holding tank, and hauls them away to a treatment facility. The whole job takes 30 to 60 minutes. Delano Porta Pros handles the digging and reconnection if your access lid is buried. If you've never pumped or you're new to your property, have us inspect it first, roots in the drain field or a collapsed baffle cost thousands to fix. Septic tank pumping cost in Delano runs $150 to $300 depending on tank size. After pumping, your system is clean and your drain field gets a break.
Can I rent a dumpster and a portable toilet at the same time?
Yes. Delano Porta Pros delivers both. A roll-off dumpster rental holds construction debris, yard waste or demolition scrap. A standard unit sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and holds 60 to 70 gallons, separate systems, separate pumps, one invoice. Dumpster rental runs $426 to $778 per week in Delano. We ask about site access: a roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck. If your lot is tight, we can work around it, but tell us up front. Many Delano jobs use construction site services that bundle toilets, dumpsters and handwashing. Storage container rental also fits the same footprint if you need to lock up tools or materials between shifts.
How do I know if my septic system is failing?
Signs show fast. Slow drains in sinks and showers, sewage smell in the yard, soggy patches or a backing up toilet all mean trouble. Grease is the killer, a grease interceptor is pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. Never pour cooking oil down the drain. If you spot these signs, call for advice right away. See septic tank warning signs for a full list. The longer you wait, the more the drain field backs up into soil and costs explode. Delano Porta Pros can pump the tank and inspect the outlet to tell you what's next.
Do I need an ADA accessible porta potty?
If your site has public access or you're required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, yes. ADA accessible porta potty units have a wider door, grab bars and an interior ramp. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires that where single-user portable toilet units are clustered, at least 5 percent of the total, and never fewer than one unit, must be accessible. A 10-unit event in Delano needs at least one ADA compliant toilet. Weekend ADA rates run $199 to $300.
What's included in a handwashing station rental?
A handwashing station rental provides running water, soap and towels or hand drying. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) mandates soap and a towel or hand drying device, hand sanitizer alone does not meet code. Delano contractors use handwashing stations on job sites where crews handle paints, coatings or dirt. One station serves 10 to 20 workers. We deliver, service and pick up. It costs less than you'd think and keeps your crew compliant and clean.
