St. Louis Porta Pros rents portable toilets, septic pumping, dumpsters, storage containers, restroom trailers, temporary fencing and handwashing stations to construction crews, events and farms across the metro area. We answer the 5 questions we hear most often, from sizing your order to understanding what goes where and how often service happens.
Construction sites follow OSHA 1926.51(c), which requires 1 toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal for every 40 workers up to 200, and 1 per 50 workers above that headcount. An event in St. Louis with 100 guests needs 2 to 3 units depending on how long it runs. Rental duration matters too. A one-day event gets fewer units than a week-long festival because people use them more often over time. The easiest move is to request a quote and tell us your headcount and timeline. We'll spec it right. See how many porta potties do I need for the full breakdown.
A standard portable toilet in St. Louis measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank, pumped once weekly under normal use. A deluxe flushable porta potty adds a foot pump flush, soap dispenser and better ventilation. An ADA accessible portable toilet meets ADA Standards section 213.2, which requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster, with a 36-inch clear width entry per ADA Standards section 403.5.1 and a 60-inch turning circle inside per ADA Standards section 304.3.1. Price varies by type and duration. Compare all three on the standard porta potty rental page or call for current rates.
A residential septic tank in St. Louis is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, depending on tank size and how many people live in the house. A grease interceptor at a restaurant or food prep site fills faster and gets pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. Commercial sites pump on a different schedule than homes. A farm with hand-labor employees has its own rules under OSHA 1928.110, which mandates sanitation facilities at one per 20 workers within a quarter mile. If you're unsure when you last pumped, call us. We'll inspect and recommend a schedule. Read how often to pump a septic tank for more detail.
Hazardous waste, tires, batteries, appliances and liquids are banned from landfills and can't ride in a roll-off dumpster. Paint, refrigerants, oil and asbestos need special handling. St. Louis has rules about what leaves the site. A construction dumpster rental is the safest choice because we know the disposal rules and we handle sorting. See what cannot go in a dumpster for the full list. If you're not sure whether something's legal to toss, ask before you rent.
Yes. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) requires an adequate supply of potable water at all construction sites. If your crew is applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) mandates washing facilities with soap and towels or a hand drying device. A portable handwashing station runs water and keeps crews compliant. Hand sanitizer alone doesn't meet the rule under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2). A handwashing station also works for outdoor events. Learn more about handwashing station requirements to see what your site needs.
Call us this morning and we'll do our best. Emergency availability in St. Louis depends on what we have in stock and your location. A standard porta potty rental usually moves faster than a restroom trailer rental, which needs more setup time. We serve University City, Webster Groves, Kirkwood and the whole metro area. Ask about same-day fees when you call.
Modern units have good ventilation and enzyme treatment that cuts odor significantly. We service porta potties weekly under standard use. More frequent service during hot months or high-traffic events keeps them fresher. Read do porta potties smell for the details.
