What's the difference between a standard unit and a deluxe one?
A standard portable toilet holds 60 to 70 gallons and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground. It's the workhorse for construction sites and events. A deluxe flushable porta potty runs bigger, with a flushing mechanism and more refined interior finishes. Standard rentals start around $150 per day in Greenville. Deluxe units cost more because they need regular servicing to keep the flush mechanism running. Most construction crews in Greenville pick standard units. Special events, weddings and corporate gatherings lean toward deluxe. The choice depends on your budget, duration and user count.
How many portable toilets do I need?
That depends on headcount and duration. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer; one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up; and one toilet seat and one urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. A small construction crew of 12 needs one unit. A festival with 500 people needs more toilets and longer service intervals. A restroom trailer with multiple stalls beats scattered units on muddy ground. Greenville Porta Pros sizes the order to your site and staff. Call with your headcount and we'll match you to the right fleet. See our guide on how many porta potties you need for the full breakdown.
What happens during a service visit?
We pump out the tank, resupply toilet paper and hand sanitiser, wipe down the seat and frame, and replace the blue deodorant. One service visit per week is the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. Busier sites get multiple visits. High traffic events in Greenville may need daily service. We haul waste to a licensed disposal facility. If you're renting a handwashing station, we refill soap and paper towels at the same time. Restroom trailers get deeper cleans because the interior is bigger. You'll see our truck arrive, spend 15 to 30 minutes on site, and leave the units fresh.
Do I need a permit to place a portable toilet in Greenville?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. We recommend checking with the city directly before you order. Private property is usually fine. Dumpster placement also has rules that vary by neighbourhood. Greenville Porta Pros knows the common spots and can advise you on whether your site is likely to need permission. Ask us when you call for a quote. For special events and festivals, the city's planning or parks department usually handles the request.
What if I need septic pumping at the same time?
We do that. A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. Pumping removes solids and keeps your drain field working. Septic pumping service in Greenville runs $250 per visit on average. We also pump grease interceptors. A grease interceptor is pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. If you're renting a portable toilet for a renovation and your house has a septic system, ask us about bundling the pump with your toilet order. It saves a trip and keeps both systems healthy.
How far do you service from Greenville?
We service Greenville and the immediate area. Simpsonville is 14.0 miles southeast. Mauldin is 6.9 miles southeast. Greer is 11.4 miles northeast. City View is 5.5 miles northwest. Easley is 14.3 miles west. Call us with your zip code and we'll tell you if we cover it.
Can I rent a dumpster and a toilet at the same time?
Yes. Many renovation projects need both. A roll-off dumpster handles debris while the toilet handles human waste. We deliver both and service them on the same schedule. Bundle pricing usually saves you money on delivery. Ask about it when you request a quote.
What are your weekend rates?
Weekend rentals run higher because demand peaks. A standard unit runs around $250 on a weekend. Dumpster weekend rates are similar. Call Greenville Porta Pros with your dates and we'll lock in a price.
Do you rent storage containers and fencing too?
Yes. Storage containers are good for seasonal inventory, renovations and site offices. Temporary fencing keeps people out of hazard zones and controls crowd flow at events. Both rent by the day, week or month. See our full service menu, call us or request a quote.
