How many portable toilets do I need?
The math depends on your crew size and how long they're on site. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline: 1 toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up, and 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers once you hit 200 or more. That's the legal minimum for construction. Events need different math. Our how many porta potties do I need guide walks through both scenarios. A [wedding restroom rental or festival restroom rental in Georgetown might add one unit per 75 guests to account for timing and comfort.](https://www.osha.gov) Run the numbers with our breakdown of how many porta potties you'll need, or call us and describe your job. We'll quote you same-day.
What's the actual cost to rent?
Standard porta potty rental runs $100 to $350 per day, $130 to $500 per week, or $125 to $325 per month, depending on delivery distance and service frequency.

Do I need a permit for a porta potty on my property?
Yes, placement in the public right of way in Georgetown needs confirming with the city. Our porta potty permit requirements guide covers what to expect. We can't name the specific ordinance without verifying it directly, so contact Georgetown municipal services or call us and we'll walk you through it. Private property placement usually has fewer hurdles, but it still pays to ask first. We handle the paperwork once you've got the green light.
What's the difference between standard and deluxe?
Standard units have a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank and sit about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, making them easy to place on most job sites. Deluxe models add a flushing mechanism, soap, hand sanitizer, and better ventilation. For short events or construction sites where basic function matters most, standard wins on budget. For wedding restroom rental, corporate events and film set restroom rental in Georgetown, deluxe keeps guests comfortable. Both get serviced weekly as baseline, so choose based on your guests' expectations and your budget room.
How often does septic pumping happen?
A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. Our [how often to pump a septic tank guide explains the signs you're due.](https://www.osha.gov) Commercial systems and grease trap pumping follow different schedules. A grease interceptor is pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth, so that one depends on your kitchen volume. Georgetown Porta Pros handles septic tank cleaning and both. We'll assess your tank, tell you the interval, and set up the service call.
When do I need a restroom trailer instead of porta potties?
Restroom trailers make sense for longer events, film shoots, and job sites where crews stay put for weeks or months. They're bigger, heated, climate controlled and more comfortable than portable toilets. Near Georgetown, they cost more per day but spread across a month or an event run, the per-day burden often levels out. See our restroom trailer options or check the cost and we'll help you pick.
