How many porta potties does a construction site need?
OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline. You need one toilet facility for every 20 workers or fewer. From 20 to 40 workers, add one toilet seat and one urinal. The ratio tightens at 200 or more workers, when you need one toilet seat and one urinal for every 50 workers. A standard portable toilet holds 60 to 70 gallons and sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, so footprint matters on tight job sites. Shreveport Porta Pros can walk you through the count. Most Gloster construction runs into dirt, so deliveries happen fast, but confirm delivery costs upfront because 22.4 miles south of Shreveport, the haul changes pricing tier.
What's the difference between standard and deluxe?
A standard unit has a seat and a urinal. A deluxe flushable porta potty has a flushing toilet, sink and soap dispenser, so crews feel they're in a real restroom. Deluxe runs 150 to 1200 dollars per day. Standard costs 100 to 350 dollars per day. For a short job in Gloster you might rent standard units by the day or weekend. For longer projects, Shreveport Porta Pros offers weekly and monthly rates that beat daily pricing per day. Pickup at the end matters too: deluxe units need a rinse, standard units need a pump-out. Ask about event rentals if your crew is there for one day only.
Can I rent a restroom trailer instead?
Yes. A restroom trailer is a step up from porta potties. It's a towed unit that can hold a 2-stall or 4-stall configuration, with climate control, real plumbing, hand soap and hot water (29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand drying device at any washing station). Trailers run 150 to 2500 dollars per day, depending on size and stall count. For a multi-week job in Gloster 22.4 miles south of Shreveport, a trailer rents for 1397 dollars typical per week. Delivery is separate and adds 50 to 540 dollars. A standard unit stands about 92 inches tall, but a trailer is taller and wider, so check overhead power lines and gate widths before you book. Shreveport Porta Pros measures the site with you. If you need washing stations too, portable sinks mount on a stand and connect to a water tank.
What about septic and dumpsters on a Gloster job?
Shreveport Porta Pros also pumps septic tanks and delivers roll-off dumpsters. A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, but a job site with high use needs more often. Septic pumping runs 150 to 300 dollars per day. A roll-off dumpster for construction debris ranges 426 to 778 dollars per week. Dumpster placement in Gloster needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck. Shreveport Porta Pros also rents temporary fencing, storage containers and handwashing stations. Check our service areas to confirm we cover your Gloster location.
How far is Gloster from Shreveport?
Gloster lies 22.4 miles south of Shreveport, about 35 minutes' drive. The distance affects delivery fees. Shreveport Porta Pros charges more for hauls that far out, so weekly and monthly rates make sense for longer jobs because the per-day cost drops.
Do I need a permit to put a porta potty on my property in Gloster?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. Shreveport Porta Pros works with local rules, but you'll want to call ahead. Private property is usually fine without a permit.
Can I rent a porta potty for just one day?
Yes. Shreveport Porta Pros rents by the day, weekend, week or month. A single-day standard unit runs 100 to 350 dollars. Weekend rates are higher. Weekly drops the per-day cost, and monthly is the best value for longer projects in Gloster.
What happens if the holding tank fills up?
Shreveport Porta Pros services on a regular schedule. One visit per week is the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40-hour week, per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. Your crew calls if it fills faster. We pump it, haul the waste to the treatment plant, rinse the tank and reset it.
Should I rent an ADA accessible unit?
If anyone on the job uses a wheelchair or has mobility limits, yes. An ADA accessible porta potty has a 60-inch turning circle, a 32-inch door opening and stable flooring. ADA runs 200 to 400 dollars per day. OSHA requires at least one accessible unit if your crew has one disabled worker. Shreveport Porta Pros delivers to Gloster and can set it up right.
