How many portable toilets do I need for my Fremont job site?
Construction crews follow OSHA 1926.51(c)(1): 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal added per 40 workers once the crew passes 20. Events don't follow that same math. A small backyard gathering needs far fewer units than a festival with the same headcount, since guests cycle through faster than a fixed crew does. Give us your crew size or guest count and we'll size the order. The how many porta potties do I need guide runs the numbers in detail, and standard porta potty rental is the baseline unit most Fremont sites book first.
What's the difference between standard and ADA accessible units?
The standard unit is compact, about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and 92 inches tall. Step up to an ADA accessible porta potty and you get a 60 inch turning circle per ADA Standards section 304.3.1 plus a 32 inch clear door opening under section 404.2.3. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of units in a cluster to be accessible. The ADA restroom requirements page has the complete spec. Expect to pay $200 to $400 a day for the accessible version.
How often are units serviced in Fremont?
The baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 is one service visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Push past that, a festival weekend or a long build, and the schedule tightens up. Every visit means the tank gets pumped, supplies get restocked and the unit gets checked over. If you'd rather add capacity than add visits, a restroom trailer rental spreads the traffic out, and a luxury restroom trailer covers upscale events with the same logic.
Do I need a permit to place a unit in Fremont?
Right of way placement is a question for the City of Fremont, not something we can clear on our own, so confirm it before delivery day. Private property is usually the simpler path. We'll help you scout the right spot on your lot, but the permit question itself goes through the city. Once the toilets are placed, dumpster weight limits and what cannot go in a dumpster become the next thing worth checking before debris starts piling up.

See the full service areas list for every town we reach.
Can I rent a unit for just one day?
Yes, single-day rentals are available. See porta potty rental per day for the rate; delivery is always billed as its own line, and weekend jobs cost more than the same rental run on a weekday.
What do I do with construction debris?
Rent a roll-off dumpster rental. We stock 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes for Fremont crews. A roll-off needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to drop safely. See dumpster rental cost for current pricing bands.
How often 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. Slow drains or a sewage smell in the yard mean it's time to call. Read septic tank warning signs or book septic pumping service directly.
Do handwashing stations need soap?
Yes, soap is non-negotiable. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires washing facilities to include soap and towels or a hand drying device; sanitizer by itself doesn't satisfy the rule. Crews applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides trigger a separate requirement under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) for dedicated washing facilities. A handwashing station rental checks both boxes at once. Ready to move forward? Request a quote or reach the team on the contact page.
