Frequently Asked Questions in Kenosha, WI

Kenosha Porta Pros handles portable toilets, septic pumping, dumpsters, storage containers, temporary fencing and handwashing stations for construction sites, events and homes across Kenosha. We field about 20 questions a week. Here are the ones that come up most often, with real answers.

How many portable toilets do I need?

OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline for construction sites: one toilet facility for up to 20 workers, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 to 200, and one per 50 workers at 200 or more. A film shoot or wedding in Kenosha needs different math, it depends on your event length, expected guests and how long people stay. How Many Porta Potties Do I Need in Kenosha, WI walks through the calculation. The rule of thumb: add one unit for every 75 to 100 people at a day event. Call us with your headcount and we'll size it right.

What's the difference between standard and deluxe?

A Standard Porta Potty Rental in Kenosha, WI holds about 60 to 70 gallons and sits roughly 44 by 48 inches on the ground. It's a single-use unit. A Deluxe Flushable Porta Potty has a flushing mechanism, a sink and hand sanitizer built in. Deluxe costs more per day and per week, but the user experience is noticeably better. For construction crews working long hours or a wedding with guests who expect a clean restroom, deluxe pays for itself in fewer complaints. Standard is fine for short-term events, site offices and emergency backup.

Do you deliver same-day and how far do you go?

Yes, we do same-day delivery in Kenosha and nearby towns. Pleasant Prairie is 4.9 miles south, Somers is 5.0 miles north, Mount Pleasant is 10.7 miles north and Zion is 10.5 miles south. A roll-off dumpster delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so confirm your site access before you book. If you're uncertain about space, describe it to us and we'll tell you whether a standard truck can fit. Rush fees apply for weekend and after-hours requests. Email or call and we'll check availability on the spot.

When should I pump my septic tank?

A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. If you have a large family or your tank is smaller than average, three years is safer. Watch for slow drains, sewage backup or soft spots in the yard, those are warning signs. Grease traps used for restaurant or catering work need more frequent attention; they're pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. Septic Tank Cleaning covers the full process. Schedule yours now and you won't think about it for years.

What are the handwashing rules for construction?

OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities where employees are engaged in applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, or other operations where harmful contaminants may be present. That's not hand sanitizer, you need Handwashing Station Rental in Kenosha, WI with soap and towels or a hand drying device under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2). A portable sink with running water meets the rule. If your crew is handling pesticides or stains on a renovation project, you're required to provide it. We stock units ready to go.

Is a standard unit ADA accessible?

No. A standard portable toilet is about 92 inches tall with a 24-inch opening. ADA Accessible Porta Potty units have a 32-inch clear door opening, a 60-inch turning circle inside and grab bars. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of clustered units to be accessible, never fewer than one. Budget for ADA units upfront if you're hosting a public event or a mixed-ability work crew. They cost more but they're legally required.

Can I rent a toilet for one day only?

Yes. Porta Potty Rental Per Day in Kenosha, WI works for one-day emergency needs, small events and film shoots. Pricing is higher per day than weekly or monthly rates, but there's no contract. Call us and confirm your setup location and we'll lock in a price the same day if you're local.

What can't go in a dumpster?

What Cannot Go In a Dumpster covers the full list. Hazardous waste, appliances, tires, batteries and anything with Freon are prohibited. Construction debris, demolition waste, soil and yard waste are fine. Confirm before you fill; we catch overage and charge overage fees. Dumpster Permit Requirements may apply in Kenosha depending on placement, so ask us before you order.

How often are portable toilets serviced?

One service visit per week is the baseline interval under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 for up to 10 users over a 40-hour week. More users or a longer rental need more frequent service. We pump, empty, sanitize and restock toilet paper and hand sanitizer at each visit. How Often Are Porta Potties Cleaned explains the full schedule. High-traffic events may need twice-weekly service; ask us and we'll adjust.
