Frequently Asked Questions in Compton, CA

Count on OSHA 1926.51(c) as your baseline. For a construction site with 20 workers or fewer, one toilet facility covers the crew. From 20 up to 40, add one urinal. At 40 to 80 workers, you need one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers. The rule scales upward: at 200 or more workers, that's one toilet seat and one urinal per 50 workers. Events in Compton run different math, a wedding with 100 guests needs more restrooms than a warehouse crew of the same size, because guests use them in compressed time windows. Call us with your headcount and timeline. We've placed units on everything from home renovations to film sets. Read more about how many porta potties you actually need.

A standard porta potty holds 60 to 70 gallons and sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, standing roughly 92 inches tall. Compton job sites pick standard units because they're reliable, affordable and take up minimal space. A deluxe unit adds a flushing toilet, hand soap dispenser and a vent system that cuts odor. Both get serviced at least weekly under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the industry standard for portable sanitation. Standard runs 100 to 350 dollars per day. Deluxe ranges 85 to 1200 dollars per day, depending on rental length and how many units you need. See standard porta potty rental or deluxe flushable porta potty for details.

Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. Private property, your construction site, your parking lot, your farm, usually doesn't require a permit. We handle delivery and placement. You confirm site access and ground conditions with your general contractor or property manager. Placement needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck. If the site sits in a flood zone or next to sensitive water, check with the city first. We've worked in Compton long enough to know the common questions, call ahead and we'll help you sort it out.
