How many porta potties does a construction crew need?
OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the count by headcount. For 20 workers or fewer, you need one toilet facility. From 20 to 200 workers, add one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers. At 200 or more, the ratio becomes one per 50 workers. A crew of 30 hits two units. Fifty workers need two also. A hundred-person job requires three. The math shifts fast when you add people.
We haul units to job sites across Braintree Town and cover the delivery fee separately from the rental cost. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before we drop a unit. If your site sits tight against street frontage, call ahead. Most construction managers in the region handle that paperwork themselves, but we'll walk you through the steps.
Check our construction site services page for crew sizes and typical weekly service intervals.
What's the delivery cost to Braintree Town?
Delivery to Braintree Town, 9.8 miles north of Brockton, runs $50 to $150 per trip on a weekly rental and $100 to $500 on a daily rental. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, so we need roughly 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to drop it. Tight parking or a narrow alley costs more or requires a manual drop, which we can do.
Weekend deliveries run higher because the crew works off-schedule. Most jobs book Monday through Friday. If you need a unit Friday night through Monday morning, expect to pay a premium. Monthly rentals spread the delivery fee across four weeks, making the per-week cost lower.
See our porta potty rental cost page for the full pricing breakdown across day, week and month options.
What venues in Braintree Town use portable restrooms?
The Braintree Town fairgrounds, parks and athletic complexes host events that rent portable toilets for festivals, marathons and tournaments. Wedding venues and outdoor retail sites also call us in. Restaurants and food trucks parked for summer markets need handwashing stations too.
Brockton Porta Pros rents deluxe flushable units, standard models, and ADA accessible units to event planners across Braintree Town. An ADA unit lets guests with mobility limits use a toilet with a 32-inch clear door opening and a 60-inch turning circle, per ADA Standards section 213.2. Cluster five units at an event? At least one must be accessible.
Outdoor events also require handwashing stations where soap and towels or a hand drying device sit on-site, per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2). Hand sanitizer alone does not meet code. We stock both portable handwashing stations and deluxe restroom trailers with full plumbing. A trailer seats 2, 4 or 8 people inside and comes heated for year-round comfort.
What happens during seasonal demand swings?
Summer events in Braintree Town and across the service areas spike our bookings from May through September. Weddings, county fairs, and road construction all hit at once. Winter months see demand drop sharply. Call early in spring if your event is set for June or July. We hold reservations three to four months out during peak season.
Emergency calls do happen. A backed-up septic tank or a construction delay forces a last-minute rental. We keep units in stock for same-day delivery across Brockton and the nearby towns. Randolph Town sits 7.7 miles north, and Bridgewater Town lies 8.7 miles south. We cover all three directions from our base.
Septic pumping service is separate from portable toilets. A residential septic tank pumps every 3 to 5 years depending on tank size and household size. Commercial grease traps pump more often. See our septic pumping service page for details.
Can I rent a porta potty for a single day?
Yes. Daily rates run $100 to $350 for a standard unit, $200 to $400 for an ADA model, and $51 to $112 for a roll-off dumpster. Weekend daily rates are higher. Delivery is included in the rental price or billed separately depending on the contract. Ask about our weekend premium when you call.
Do porta potties need service during a long rental?
One service visit per week is the baseline, per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. For an event with light foot traffic, one pump-out covers a week. A construction site with 50 workers may need service twice per week or daily in summer heat. We pump the holding tank, restock toilet paper and supplies, and refresh the deodorizer each visit.
What if my event is in winter?
Braintree Town winters freeze the ground and slow pump trucks. We still deliver and service units. Tanks may freeze if temperatures drop below zero for days, so we add insulation and heat tape. Winter rates are the same as summer, but book early because routes fill up and rerouting adds time.
Is an ADA unit bigger than a standard one?
No. Both sit about 44 by 48 inches on the ground. An ADA unit has a wider door (32 inches clear), grab bars, and a lowered seat for wheelchair users. The holding tank is the same size: 60 to 70 gallons. Placement rules differ slightly because the unit needs a firm, level pad and a 5-foot approach space.
How far north is Braintree Town from Brockton?
Braintree Town lies 9.8 miles north of Brockton, about 19 minutes by truck. Nearby Stoughton sits 5.8 miles northwest, and Weymouth Town is 12.0 miles northeast. We serve all of them from our Brockton base. Request a quote at /request-a-quote/ or call for same-day delivery.
