Abilene Porta Pros handles 7 types of mobile sanitation and storage gear for construction sites, events, and residential work. You'll find answers here to what we hear most often. If something's not listed, call us or use our contact form.
OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline for Abilene job sites. For 20 workers or fewer, you need 1 toilet facility. From 20 to 40 workers, add 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers; at 200 or more, it's 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers. The crew size, shift length, and work type all matter. A demolition site with heavy exertion burns through facilities faster than a utility mark-out crew does. Our guide on OSHA requirements walks through the math for your exact headcount. Call us with the job details and we'll spec it right.
A standard porta potty holds 60 to 70 gallons and sits roughly 44 by 48 inches on the ground, standing about 92 inches tall. A deluxe flushable porta potty uses a flush mechanism instead of a drop tank, which cuts odor and feels closer to indoor plumbing. Both work for Abilene construction and events. Deluxe units cost more per day because they need higher-touch servicing. Check our pricing page to compare day and weekly rates for your rental length. Standard units are the pick for tight budgets and short-term jobs.
Yes, if your crew is applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides. OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities where harmful contaminants are present. Soap and actual towels or a hand drying device are mandated by 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2); hand sanitizer alone does not meet code. Abilene Porta Pros rents handwashing stations that pair a basin, water supply, and soap dispenser. We deliver and service them weekly as part of the standard plan. Read more on handwashing requirements to see if your work triggers the rule.
Standard practice in the industry is one service visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour work week, per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. If you're running two shifts or a larger crew, we can bump to twice weekly or add extra units instead. Abilene sites often need more frequent pumping in summer heat. We pump the tank, restock toilet paper and hand sanitizer, and haul waste to the treatment facility. Our page on cleaning frequency has more detail on what a service call includes and when you'd need it sooner.
A restroom trailer works for larger Abilene events, film shoots, or construction zones where you want a fixed structure with multiple stalls. They're heated, air-conditioned, and plumbed like a real bathroom. We stock 2-stall, 4-stall, and 8-stall models. Delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so call ahead to confirm your site access. Trailers cost more than porta potties but handle way more traffic and run longer without servicing. See our trailer rental page for options and pricing.
What Cannot Go In a Dumpster lists the big ones: tires, batteries, appliances, paint, asbestos, and anything hazardous. Your local Abilene waste facility has rules too. We can haul most demolition and construction debris. Weights matter: overloading a roll-off dumpster costs overage fees. Ask us before you throw, especially on renovation jobs where old materials can hide nasty surprises.
A typical residential septic tank is pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. Abilene's water table and soil type affect how fast a system fills. If you notice slow drains, gurgling toilets, or wet spots in the yard, that's your signal to pump sooner. We handle septic pumping and can inspect the tank while we're there. See our page on warning signs to catch trouble early and avoid a backup in your home.
Yes. A grease interceptor is pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. Restaurants and food trucks in Abilene pump theirs monthly or more often depending on volume. We provide grease trap pumping and haul the waste to a licensed facility. Skipping it lets grease build up in your lines and can force an expensive backup.
We tow a standard unit on a hitch or drop it from a truck bed. Delivery takes a clear, level spot near the work zone. Restroom trailers need more space and level ground. We place it, set the anchoring, connect water and power if needed, and test it before we leave. Your only job is making sure the driver can reach the spot without tearing up the lot.
An ADA accessible porta potty must meet ADA Standards section 213.2: at least 5 percent of your unit cluster, and never fewer than one, has to be accessible. A 60 inch turning circle is required inside, per ADA Standards section 304.3.1, and the door needs a 32 inch minimum clear opening width per ADA Standards section 404.2.3. Abilene Porta Pros stocks ADA-compliant units and can place them in the right spot on your site. Most events and larger construction jobs need at least one.
Yes. Storage containers work for equipment, tools, or documents on a job site or at a business. We rent 20 foot and 40 foot units by the month. They're weatherproof, lockable, and delivered on a level spot. Monthly pricing is much lower than weekly or daily if you're holding gear for three months or longer. Perfect for remodels, demolition staging, or seasonal storage.
