How many portable toilets do I need?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers up to 200, and 1 per 50 workers at 200 or more. For a small crew of 15, you'd rent one standard porta potty. A construction site in Novi with 50 workers needs at least 2 units. Events are different, foot traffic is lighter and shorter. A wedding or festival in Novi typically needs 1 unit per 50 to 100 guests. Check our sizing guide for your exact scenario.
What's the difference between standard and deluxe?
A standard porta potty is a traditional unit about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, about 92 inches tall, holding 60 to 70 gallons. It has a gravity flush and manual hand pump. A deluxe flushable porta potty has a foot flush, integrated sink with running water, and a soap dispenser. Deluxe units cost more but they're popular for office job sites and upscale events in Novi. Weekly rates run $130 to $500 for standard units and $150 to $290 for deluxe, depending on service frequency and location.
Do I need an ADA accessible unit?
Yes, if your event or construction site in Novi has public access or employs people with disabilities. ADA Standards section 213.2 says at least 5 percent of clustered single-user units must be accessible, never fewer than one. An ADA accessible porta potty has a 36-inch minimum clear width per ADA Standards section 403.5.1, a 32-inch door opening per section 404.2.3, and a 60-inch turning circle per section 304.3.1. Weekly rental runs $120 to $240. Placement matters, confirm ground stability and access routes with Novi Porta Pros before delivery.
How often do units get serviced?
One service visit per week is the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40-hour week, per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. A crew of 5 on a short job might skip a week if usage is light. A festival with 500 people needs service every day or every other day. Novi Porta Pros delivers, pumps, sanitizes and restocks on your schedule. Ask about weekly service or custom intervals when you call.
Can I rent a restroom trailer instead?
Yes. A restroom trailer holds multiple stalls, 2, 4 or 8, with flush toilets, running water and climate control. They're ideal for extended rentals, upscale events and film sets. Daily rates start around $175; weekly rates run $150 to $1,650 depending on stall count. Trailers need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck for delivery. Perfect for long-term construction in Novi or a high-end wedding. Compare trailer sizes and costs before you decide.
Do I need handwashing stations?
If employees are applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities. Per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), they must have soap and a towel or hand drying device, hand sanitizer alone does not meet the standard. A handwashing station is a portable sink with hot and cold water, soap and paper towels. Standard construction sites in Novi benefit from one at the job entrance. Learn what your site requires.
What about dumpsters and storage?
Construction cleanup, demolition and renovation all need roll-off dumpsters. Weekly rates run $426 to $778; monthly rates $91 to $500. Storage containers rent monthly for $100 to $250 and hold tools, materials and equipment. Many Novi contractors use both, a dumpster for waste and a container for secure storage. We also rent temporary fencing ($30 to $75 per day) to secure job sites.
What if I need service on a weekend?
Novi Porta Pros answers weekend and holiday calls. Weekend rates are higher: standard units run $125 to $400, trailers $900 to $3,000, and dumpsters $390 to $497. Call for weekend availability and confirm delivery times. We serve Novi, Wixom (5.5 miles northwest), Farmington (8.1 miles east), Lyon (8.4 miles west), Commerce (9.5 miles north) and Redford (14.4 miles southeast).
Do I need a permit for a porta potty in Novi?
Placement in public right of way needs confirming with the city. Novi Porta Pros knows the rules and can advise, but confirm any permit requirement directly with the city or your property manager before we deliver.
