How many porta potties do I need for my job?
OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the ratio: for 20 workers or fewer, you need 1 toilet. From 20 to 40, add 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers. At 200 workers or more, the ratio shifts to 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers. The math gets tight fast. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, so placement matters too. For Warwick construction sites, we've sized everything from a single-person renovation to a 50-person crew. If you're building, demolishing or hosting an event, call us with your headcount and we'll do the math. OSHA portable toilet requirements go deeper if you want the full rule.
What's the difference between standard and deluxe units?
A standard unit is the baseline: a secure, ventilated enclosure with a 60 to 70 gallon tank and weekly service included under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. A deluxe unit adds comfort, it's flushable, holds more waste, and often includes amenities like a sink and soap dispenser. Standard units rent for $100 to $350 per day in Warwick depending on duration; deluxe units run higher. For a multi-week Warwick renovation or construction project, monthly porta potty rental often costs less per day than daily rates. Check standard porta potty rental and deluxe flushable porta potty options to compare what fits your job.
Do I need handwashing stations on a construction site?
If workers are applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, yes, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities. Hand sanitizer alone doesn't meet the rule; you need soap and towels or a hand drying device under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2). Even without those contaminants, potable water is required under OSHA 1926.51(a)(1). Warwick Porta Pros stocks handwashing station rental units that hook into your water supply. They're portable, compliant and fast to deliver. See handwashing requirements for the full breakdown.
When should I pump my septic tank?
A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, depending on tank size and household size. If you notice slow drains, odors or wet spots in your yard, pump sooner. A grease interceptor hits the service threshold when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth, not when it's full. Warwick properties with older tanks sometimes need annual pumping. Don't wait for a backup. Septic pumping service and grease trap pumping can be scheduled same-day in many cases.
What can't go in a dumpster?
Hazardous waste, tires, batteries, paint, solvents and asbestos are banned. Electronics, appliances and roofing materials often have restrictions too. Every Warwick job is different, renovation debris, construction waste, yard cleanup and demolition have different rules. Roll-off dumpster rental sizes range from 10 yards to 40 yards. Before you load, ask us what's allowed. What cannot go in a dumpster covers the full list and dumpster weight limits explains the math.
Can I rent a portable restroom for an outdoor event?
Absolutely. Events in Warwick, weddings, festivals, concerts, need restrooms sized to guest count and duration. Event restroom rental and wedding restroom rental are priced per day or per weekend. A restroom trailer seats 2, 4, 8 or more, with running water and flushing toilets. Restroom trailer rental costs more than standard units but handles traffic and duration better. For concerts and festivals, festival restroom rental pricing is available.
