How many porta potties does Easton require for my construction site?
The count depends on your crew size. Under OSHA 1926.51(c), a construction site with 20 workers or fewer needs one toilet facility. From 20 to 40 workers, you add one urinal. At 200 or more workers, the ratio tightens to one toilet seat and one urinal per 50 people. A small renovation crew might need two units; a large commercial build in Easton could require five or six.
We help you right-size the rental. Call with your worker count and job duration, and Allentown Porta Pros delivers the correct setup. Standard porta potty rental covers most construction work. If your crew includes workers applying paints, coatings or herbicides, you'll also need handwashing stations. OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities where those contaminants are present. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, so placement is tight on cramped Easton job sites. We'll drop it where the GC tells us.
What does delivery cost to Easton from Allentown?
Delivery 17.0 miles northeast of Allentown to Easton runs $100 to $150 one way. A week-long rental with one service visit and return delivery will run more than a single day. Most crews rent by the week because the per-day cost drops and the unit stays longer. Porta potty rental per day is pricier than weekly rates for the same unit type.
Roll-off dumpsters and restroom trailers cost more to deliver because they need 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck. A 4-stall restroom trailer rental in Easton often costs twice what a porta potty does, but you get indoor plumbing, running water and soap. Storage containers are lighter and cheaper to haul than dumpsters. If you're renting from Allentown, ask whether your Easton address sits in our normal service zone. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. We check that before we quote you.
What's included in a weekly service visit?
Allentown Porta Pros pumps the tank, restocks toilet paper and hand sanitizer, and cleans the exterior. One service call per week is the baseline. That's per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the portable sanitation service standard. A standard unit for up to 10 users over a 40-hour week gets pumped once. If your Easton crew uses the unit hard, you might need twice-weekly service. We adjust the schedule.
Deluxe units with flushes and sinks cost more but reduce the smell and the mess. Deluxe flushable porta potty rentals start higher but keep crews happier on week-long jobs. An ADA accessible porta potty meets ADA Standards 213.2 and 304.3.1: a 60-inch turning circle inside, a 36-inch clear passage width per ADA Standards 403.5.1, and a 32-inch door opening per ADA Standards 404.2.3. If your Easton project has public access or includes employees with mobility needs, you'll need at least one accessible unit. Allentown Porta Pros stocks them and delivers them to service areas across the region, including 17.0 miles northeast to Easton.
Where do I place a porta potty on an Easton job site?
Level ground away from the work zone works best. You need 60 to 70 gallons of tank capacity underfoot, so loose dirt and muddy spots cause settling. Concrete or gravel is ideal. The unit shouldn't sit where traffic forks around it; crews trip and the trailer gets struck. Some Easton sites have no good spot, and that's when a restroom trailer saves you because it occupies less ground space and can move if needed.
Keep the unit in shade if you can. Heat makes the interior less pleasant. Position it where hose and pumper truck can reach it for service. We need clear access; if the unit sits in a locked area, arrange for us to get in. Portable toilets don't belong in the public right of way without the city's approval, so confirm placement with Easton before we arrive. Allentown Porta Pros handles standard delivery, but you're responsible for getting the city's okay if your site sits near a road or sidewalk.
How often should the tank be pumped?
Weekly service is standard for construction. A 60 to 70 gallon tank with 10 daily users fills fast. Heavy use sites get pumped twice a week. Tell us your crew size and we'll set the schedule.
Can I rent a porta potty for a weekend event in Easton?
Yes. Weekend rates differ from weekday rates. A standard unit for a weekend event runs higher because it's a short rental with setup and pickup. Call for a weekend quote. We deliver to Easton regularly.
What's the difference between a standard and a deluxe unit?
Deluxe units have a foot-flush toilet, a sink and running water. Standard units have a fixed seat and no sink. Deluxe costs more but keeps the space cleaner. Pick deluxe for long jobs or visible work zones. Standard porta potty rental works fine for construction crews that don't mind basic conditions.
Do porta potties work in winter in Easton?
Yes. The tank won't freeze solid because Allentown Porta Pros services it weekly and the waste doesn't sit idle. In hard freezes, interior water can ice up, so a deluxe unit's sink becomes less useful. Standard units work year-round. Easton winters aren't as brutal as inland PA, but we've got experience with seasonal rentals.
Should I rent a handwashing station too?
If your crew applies paint, coatings or herbicides, yes. OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities where those contaminants are present. Hand sanitizer alone doesn't meet the rule; soap and water or a hand drying device per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) is required. Allentown Porta Pros rents portable sinks and handwashing stations to go with your porta potties.
