Portland Porta Pros rents portable toilets, septic pumping, dumpsters, storage containers, temporary fencing and handwashing stations to construction crews, events and homeowners. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and stands about 92 inches tall. We service Portland and the surrounding area with daily, weekly and monthly rates.
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline for construction sites: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up to 200, and one per 50 workers at 200 or more. Events run differently. A wedding with 100 guests needs fewer units than a concert with the same headcount because event guests use facilities over several hours, not continuously. A festival porta potty count depends on duration and foot traffic. Read how many porta potties do I need for the math. If your crew or event is in Portland or nearby towns like Tigard (12.3 miles southwest), Hillsboro (17.8 miles west) or Milwaukie (8.3 miles south), we'll help you size it right.
A standard porta potty has a simple gravity-flush system. A deluxe unit adds an internal sink with running water and a flushing toilet that mimics a real bathroom. Both hold the same 60 to 70 gallon tank. Deluxe units cost more but they're worth it for client-facing events, weddings or offices. Deluxe flushable porta potties run higher on the weekly scale. For outdoor weddings in Portland, deluxe rentals set a better tone. Standard units work fine for construction sites where the point is speed and durability, not impression.
A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. If you're adding a rental holding tank, the same logic applies. Don't wait for warning signs. Portland Porta Pros offers septic tank pumping cost estimates based on your tank size. A grease interceptor is pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth, which happens faster than you'd think if you're running a kitchen or a restaurant. Grease trap pumping is a separate service. Call early; waiting until your system fails costs a lot more.
Read what cannot go in a dumpster for the full list, but the short version is: no hazardous materials, no asbestos, no batteries, no tires, no paint or solvents, no refrigerants. Construction debris is fine. Yard waste is fine. Mixed demolition is usually fine. Electronics, appliances and anything with fluids need special handling. If you're unsure, ask before you load. A roll-off dumpster rental delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so measure your alley or driveway before you book. Portland lots vary wildly; some have easy access, others are tight.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. Portland has rules about sidewalk access and street clearance, but they're specific to location and duration. Call Portland Porta Pros before you place a unit on a street or shared property. For your own land or a permitted construction site, a porta potty usually doesn't need its own permit because it's covered under the site permit. Porta potty placement guide walks through the steps. For events, the event permit often covers sanitation. Always check first.
Yes. Maywood Park is 7.7 miles east of Portland and Dunthorpe is 8.2 miles south. Both are within our service area. Delivery fees vary by distance and duration. A delivery fee for a weekend event runs higher than a weekly rate. Call with your address and dates and we'll quote you same-day.
A restroom trailer rental is a full step up from portable toilets. It's climate-controlled, has multiple stalls, running water, soap dispensers and hand dryers. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires washing facilities with soap and a hand drying device, and a trailer meets that standard easily. Trailers cost more than standard units but they're essential for film sets, large corporate events and weddings where guests expect real bathrooms. Luxury restroom trailers have even more amenities.
ADA Standards section 213.2 says where single-user portable toilet units are clustered, at least 5 percent, and never fewer than one unit, must be accessible. An ADA accessible porta potty has a wider door opening, handrails and more interior space. The ramp running slope shall not be steeper than 1:12 per ADA Standards section 405.2. If you're hosting an event or managing a construction site in Portland, accessibility isn't optional; it's the law.
