Event Convenience: When planning a large event, such as a music festival, large gatherings often require additional restroom facilities than are available at the venue. Lack of facitilies can lead to long wait times and a poor guest experience. The longer that attendees have to wait in line, the less time they have to spend enjoying their time with friends. Adding portable toilet rentals to your event plan will solve both of these problems and will also contribute to the hygiene of your event. Since they are so portable, the also contribute to convenience because they can be placed near high traffic areas. 

Construction Sites: By law, construction sites in San Jose are required to provide portable restrooms for workers. Renting with us ensures compliance with local regulations and prevent delays in the project because of work stoppages. According to OSHA, for jobs with 20 workers or less, at least one portable toilet must be provided for workers. These regulations are in place in order to maintain a safe and hygienic work environment. 

Having easy to access restroom facilities on a construction site adds to job productivity. Rather than having to leave the job during lunch or break to use the restroom, employees can use the provided ones on site. Over the course of days, weeks, and months, this can amount to a substantial savings in both time and money. This savings in time can help to keep the job on track, prevent delays, and keep the customer happy. 

Emergency Situations: Natural disasters can wipeout the entire infrastructure of the devastated location. Often, there is no running water or electricity due to the damage caused.

Tips for Renting Porta Potties in San Jose

Assess Your Needs: Before deciding on the type of unit that you will be needing, assess your needs and determine the quantity of units that you will need. There are many factors that assess this decision. The most important is the number of people that will be using the units. For large events, consider the number of attendees that will be using them. Renting the right amount will help to prevent lines and over use. Also, make sure to take into consideration the length of the event and whether food and alcohol will be served.

For construction rentals, the main factor that comes into play is the number of users you will have on the job. OSHA recommends one toilet per then employees for a standard 40 hour work week. If there are more employees than that using a single portable restroom, it can lead to unsatisfactory conditions. If your job is constrained on space, Bay Area Sanitation offers cleaning multiple times per week to combat high traffic jobs. 

Consider the Location: When have decided to book a portable toilet rental in San Jose, the next step is to decide where it will be placed. For residences, it needs to be within 25 feet of the street so that it can be accessed by our service vehicle. If there are any gates or restrictions, our team will need to know about that beforehand to ensure proper service. If service is unable to be completed because of placement, there may be an additional fee for us to return to the job. The placement location should be level and flat, for both the safety of the user and to prevent spills. Wood planks or bricks can be placed under the base in order to level the unit. 

Check Local Regulations: San Jose may have different permit regulations than other cities in nearby areas. Make sure to do your research on permits required before moving forward with your event or construction project. Once you have the permit in hand, you can plan for when you will start your project. Certain cities require a containment pan beneath the unit. This tray collects any water from the wash down and servicing process. Having all of your boxes checked will speed up your final inspection process and avoid any unnecessary fines.
