Frequently Asked Questions in Livonia, MI

Livonia Porta Pros rents portable toilets, septic pumping, dumpsters, restroom trailers, storage containers, temporary fencing and handwashing stations to contractors, events and homeowners. We answer the questions we hear most often. A standard portable toilet holds 60 to 70 gallons and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, so placement matters before you order.

How many portable toilets do I need for my job?

The math depends on your crew size and how long they're on site. For construction crews, OSHA 1926.51(c) requires 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer; for 20 to 40 workers, you need 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal; at 200 or more workers, the ratio is 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers. Events are different. A one-day festival needs more units per person than a three-day site because usage is denser. Call Livonia Porta Pros with your headcount and event length and we'll quote the right number. See our guide on how many porta potties you need for the detailed breakdown.

What's the difference between standard and deluxe portable toilets?

Standard units are the baseline. They're ventilated, lit, and emptied weekly under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the portable sanitation service standard. Deluxe units add a foot pump faucet, soap dispenser and hand sanitizer, which makes them popular for events where customers or clients are present. Both types rent by the day, week, month or weekend. See pricing and features on our standard porta potty and deluxe flushable porta potty pages. If you're serving food or working with the public in Livonia, deluxe is the better choice.

Do I need a handwashing station, and what does OSHA require?

Handwashing stations are required when employees work with paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides. Under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1), those operations must have washing facilities with soap and towels or a hand drying device. A hand sanitizer alone does not meet code. General construction and demolition crews may not need a separate station if portable toilets are close by, but a handwashing station rental is cheap insurance and shows compliance to inspectors. Livonia job sites near Redford or Westland call us for both toilets and sinks together.

What happens if I need septic pumping or grease trap service?

Residential septic tanks are typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, depending on tank size and household size. Commercial grease traps in Livonia restaurants and food prep spaces are pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. We handle both. See septic pumping service and grease trap pumping for details and to schedule an emergency visit if your tank backs up.

How much does a portable toilet cost?

Standard portable toilets run 100 to 350 dollars per day, 130 to 500 dollars per week, and 125 to 325 dollars per month, depending on delivery distance and service frequency. A weekend rate (Friday evening to Monday morning) is 125 to 400 dollars. Delivery fees range from 50 to 150 dollars per week. Call Livonia Porta Pros for a quote tied to your exact location and rental length.

Can I rent a restroom trailer instead of portable toilets?

Yes. Restroom trailers have multiple stalls, heating, air conditioning, and running water. They're ideal for long events, film sets, and job sites where comfort matters or crews are large. Trailers rent from 150 to 1650 dollars per week depending on stall count and amenities. See restroom trailer rental and our 2 stall, 4 stall, and 8 stall options.

Do you deliver roll-off dumpsters and storage containers?

We do. Roll-off dumpsters rent 426 to 778 dollars per week and 91 to 500 dollars per month for construction debris, renovation waste and demolition. Storage containers run 100 to 250 dollars per month. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck. See roll-off dumpster rental and storage container rental to pick your size and duration.

What if I need temporary fencing?

Temporary fencing protects job sites, crowds and equipment. Fencing rates are 30 to 75 dollars per day. Placement in the public right of way in Livonia needs confirming with the city. See temporary fence rental and crowd control barrier rental for specifications and to request a site walk before you order.

Can I rent equipment for an event in Livonia?

Absolutely. Weddings, festivals, marathons, golf tournaments and county fairs all need restrooms, handwashing and sometimes dumpsters. See our event pages: wedding restroom rental, festival restroom rental, marathon restroom rental, golf tournament restrooms, and county fair restrooms. We also serve construction sites and home renovations.
