How Many Units Do You Actually Need?
Start with headcount and hours, not guesswork. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets construction-site ratios at 1 toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then 1 toilet and 1 urinal per 40 workers once you pass that number. Events run on a different rule of thumb, and our how many porta potties do i need guide breaks that down by guest count and bar service. Servicing follows ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, which sets one visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users across a 40 hour week, so a busy weekend event may need extra units rather than extra pumps. If you are running a jobsite, check OSHA portable toilet requirements before you order, and if a wheelchair user will be on site, ADA Standards 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster, even a cluster of two. See ADA accessible porta potty for what that unit includes.
Where Should the Unit Go on Your Property?
Pick flat, stable ground before the truck shows up. A standard unit runs about 44 by 48 inches on its footprint and stands roughly 92 inches tall, so give it clearance from fences, low branches and soft mulch beds. ADA Standards 302.1 calls for stable, firm, slip-resistant surfaces, which matters most for the ADA accessible porta potty unit, and 403.5.1 wants a 36 inch clear path to reach it. Avoid storm drains and slopes; a tank holds 60 to 70 gallons and a unit set on a grade can shift. Our porta potty placement guide covers setback distances from doors and windows. Renovating a Kendall home? The home renovation porta potty page covers driveway placement specifically. If the unit needs to sit anywhere near a sidewalk or the street, placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the City of Kendall; we have not verified a specific rule for that, so ask before delivery day, not after.
What Does Delivery Day Actually Involve?
Our driver needs a clear path in, a spot to set the unit, and someone who can confirm placement on arrival. Delivery fees run from about $100 to $500 depending on distance and timing, and weekend delivery runs higher than a weekday slot, so book early if your event lands on a Saturday. A standard porta potty rental typically runs $100 to $350 a day depending on term length, while a deluxe flushable porta potty or full restroom trailer rental needs more room and a level pad. If you are renting a roll-off dumpster rental alongside your restrooms, remember it needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck. Kendall sits inland from the coast, and we also deliver east to Pinecrest, about 3.5 miles away, and southeast to Palmetto Bay, roughly 5.6 miles out, so drive time rarely adds delays.

Do You Need Handwashing or Just a Toilet?
Both, usually. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand-drying device at washing facilities, and hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy it. If your crew works with paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities specifically for that contaminant exposure, separate from general sanitation. Add a handwashing station rental or a portable sink rental next to your toilets rather than relying on a hand sanitizer station rental alone. Our handwashing requirements page walks through which standard applies to your site. Farm crews fall under a different rule: OSHA 1928.110 requires potable water, toilets and handwashing within a quarter mile walk for hand-labor employees, at one facility per 20 workers, which is why our farm and agricultural restrooms page recommends spacing units across large fields rather than clustering them at one gate. Long jobs in Kendall should also budget for septic needs; see septic pumping service if you are running a holding tank setup instead of standard units.
How far in advance should I book in Kendall?
Book standard units a few days out and trailers or ADA units a week or more ahead, since ADA week rentals only run $120 to $240 and availability is tighter than standard stock. Weekend and holiday dates fill fastest. Rush orders are possible but limit your unit choice.
Do I need a permit for a porta potty in Kendall?
That depends on placement. Units on private property, clear of the right of way, typically need no city sign-off, but we have not verified a blanket rule. Check our porta potty permit requirements page and confirm with the City of Kendall before delivery.
How often does the unit get serviced?
Service follows the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline, one visit weekly for up to 10 users across 40 hours. Higher traffic events need more frequent pumps. See how often are porta potties cleaned for scheduling by event size.
What size door and clearance does an ADA unit need?
ADA Standards 404.2.3 sets a 32 inch minimum clear door opening, and 304.3.1 requires a 60 inch turning circle inside. Approach paths need 36 inches of clearance under 403.5.1. Full specs sit on ADA accessible porta potty.
Can I rent for just one day?
Yes. Standard daily rentals run $100 to $350, and weekend rates for a single unit sit around $199 to $300 for an ADA model. Compare terms on monthly porta potty rental if your project runs longer than expected.
