Construction Porta Potty Rental in Mansfield, TX

How many porta potties does a construction site need?

A construction site with 20 or fewer workers needs at least 1 toilet under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51. Sites with 20 or more workers need 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers. For real-world comfort with weekly service, we plan 1 standard unit for every 10 workers on a 40-hour week.

Legal minimum from OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51(c), Table D-1. Each standard unit has a seat and a urinal. Our recommendation assumes 40-hour weeks and keeps tanks from filling between weekly visits. Confirm site rules with your general contractor or inspector.

The legal minimum and a good setup are not the same. One unit can legally serve 20 people, but a 60-gallon tank used by 20 workers every day fills in about 4 days in summer heat. Two units, or twice-weekly service, keep the crew out of the truck and on the clock.

OSHA also requires a way to wash hands where workers handle paint, concrete or other harmful materials, under 1926.51(f). A two-sided hand-washing station covers that without a water hookup. Read the full OSHA porta potty requirements guide for exemptions and crew math.

How often are job site porta potties cleaned?

Job site porta potties are cleaned once every 7 days as part of the 28-day rate. Each service visit pumps the waste tank, washes and sanitizes the inside, restocks toilet paper and refills hand sanitizer. Crews of more than 10 people, or any crew in July and August, should add a second weekly visit.

What happens on every service visit

1. Pump out. The tech vacuums the waste tank to empty and recharges it with fresh blue deodorizer.
2. Wash and sanitize. Seat, urinal, walls, door handle and floor get washed, then sprayed with sanitizer.
3. Restock. Two or more fresh rolls of toilet paper go in, and the hand sanitizer dispenser is refilled.
4. Check and tag. The tech checks the door latch, vent and level, then dates the service tag on the door.

Extra visits cost $55 per unit, and a standing second weekly visit costs $45 per unit per week. Call the morning you need it and we add the stop to that day's route when possible.

What does a 28-day job site rental include?

A 28-day job site rental includes the unit, four weekly cleanings, toilet paper and hand sanitizer for the full cycle. Delivery and pickup are a one-time charge on the first invoice. The rate then repeats every 28 days until you call for pickup, and the final partial cycle is billed by the day.

• Billing runs in 28-day cycles, not calendar months, so 13 cycles cover a year.
• Delivery and pickup are billed once, on the first invoice. No removal fee is added at the end.
• No fuel surcharge and no credit card fee.
• Texas sales tax is added at the local rate (8.25% in most of our area).
• Units stay until you call. We never pull a job site unit without your go-ahead.
• Call by 12 PM the business day before you want it removed; the last partial cycle is billed by the day.

Where should a porta potty go on a job site?

A job site porta potty should sit on level, firm ground within about 25 feet of a spot our service truck can reach. Keep it away from trenches, crane swing paths and material drop zones. Do not place it on a sidewalk or in the street without a right-of-way permit from the city.

• Level ground, or a spot the crew can shim. A tilted unit leaks and the door will not latch.
• A clear path for a 3/4-ton truck with a 30-foot hose reach. Gates, codes and lock boxes go in the order notes.
• Upwind of the break area, and at least 10 feet from the site office door.
• Stakes or tie-downs on open lots. North Texas spring storms tip unsecured units.
• Rain plan: Blackland Prairie clay goes soft fast. Gravel, a pad or the drive approach keeps the truck from getting stuck.

Which porta potties work best for construction crews?

Standard porta potties cover most construction crews because they are tough, light and easy to move. Add a hand-washing station for crews handling concrete, paint or chemicals. Choose trailer-mounted units when the crew moves along a road or utility line. Accessible units are optional on construction-only sites under the ADA's 203.2 exception.

Which Mansfield job sites do you serve?

We serve Mansfield job sites of every size, from single-family builds in M3 Ranch and South Pointe to logistics buildings like Heritage 287 Crossing near US 287 and SH 360. Our yard sits on the same highway, so a missed-delivery problem from another vendor can usually be fixed the same day.

Builders working several Mansfield subdivisions at once can keep one account and one invoice. Each site gets its own address line and service notes, so the tech knows the gate code at one lot and the lock box at the next. Sites in Johnson County and Ellis County get the same pricing as Mansfield inside 76063.
