Frequently Asked Questions in Yonkers, NY

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; one toilet seat and one urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. An event in Yonkers with 300 guests needs a different math. Event restroom rental runs three to four units minimum for comfort. A construction site crew of 12 needs one standard unit. A 45-person crew needs two. For a specific count, call us with your headcount and we'll walk the math.

A standard porta potty holds 60 to 70 gallons, stands about 92 inches tall and measures roughly 44 by 48 inches on the ground. It's pumped once a week under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline service. A deluxe flushable porta potty has a flushing mechanism, improved ventilation, a hand sanitizer dispenser and interior lighting. Deluxe costs 60 to 80 percent more. Standard is fine for construction. Deluxe makes sense for office parks, weddings and festivals in Yonkers where guests expect better conditions.

Yes if your event or job site is open to the public or required by law to comply. ADA accessible porta potties meet ADA Standards 213.2: a 60 inch diameter turning circle inside, a 36 inch minimum door width, and 48 inch forward reach to controls. At least 5 percent of clustered units must be accessible. A 20-unit job site needs one ADA unit. Yonkers Porta Pros stocks them and delivers same day if available.

A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. The tank fills faster if you have a large family or use lots of water. A grease interceptor in a commercial kitchen is pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. Septic pumping service in Yonkers runs 150 to 300 dollars depending on tank size and access. Don't wait for the tank to back up into the house. Call us if you're past due.

Standard dumpsters take construction debris, yard waste, household junk and demolition rubble. Hazardous materials do not: no paint, batteries, chemicals, asbestos, electronics or tires. Roll-off dumpster rental in Yonkers needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck for safe drop-off. A 10 yard dumpster fits a garage cleanout. A 20 yard dumpster handles a kitchen remodel. A 30 yard dumpster takes a whole-house renovation. Call before you load anything unusual.

Restroom trailer rental starts with a 2-stall unit for small events and construction sites. A 4-stall restroom trailer handles 50 to 100 people. An 8-stall restroom trailer supports 200-plus guests. Trailers have running water, flush toilets, sinks and climate control. They're mounted on a truck axle and stay in place for the whole rental period. Yonkers Porta Pros delivers and picks up. Weekly rates are lower than daily; monthly is lowest per-day cost.

No. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) requires an adequate supply of potable water in all places of employment, but that's your responsibility to provide separately. Portable toilets hold waste only. Handwashing requires a separate handwashing station rental with running water and soap, per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2).

Placement in the public right of way in Yonkers needs confirming with the city. Call our office and we'll walk through the rules with you and your local inspector.

Once a week under standard service. That covers toilet pumping, waste tank emptying, deodorizer, paper and soap refill. Portable toilets on active construction sites or high-use events may need twice-weekly service. Tell us your headcount and we'll recommend the right interval.

Weekend delivery and pickup cost more than weekday rates. Call 48 hours ahead for Friday night delivery or Saturday service. Emergency calls on Sunday run the highest rates. We keep a few units on standby for last-minute events and job site emergencies in Yonkers.
