How far is Lyon from Novi and what does delivery cost?
Lyon lies 8.4 miles west of Novi, a drive of roughly 19 minutes depending on traffic. Delivery fees from Novi Porta Pros to Lyon range from $50 to $150 per week, or $100 to $500 for a single day trip. A roll-off dumpster delivery to the same area runs $100 to $500, and weekend trips cost more. We confirm exact pricing once you tell us your address and rental dates because fuel costs and route constraints change with the season. Call or request a quote to lock in a firm number.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the Lyon city authority before we drop a unit. We handle the coordination, but you or your general contractor should verify local rules apply to your site. Once that's settled, we deliver as early as the next business day.
What size portable toilet do you have and how often do you service it?
A standard unit from Novi Porta Pros measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and holds 60 to 70 gallons. It's the workhorse for small construction jobs, home renovation and backyard events. We service it once per week as baseline, per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the industry standard for portable sanitation. If your site has heavier use, we pump more often at no extra charge beyond the service fee.
A deluxe unit flushes like a regular toilet, has a larger holding tank, and runs $150 to $290 per week. An ADA accessible porta potty meets the 60 inch turning circle and 36 inch clear width required by ADA Standards section 403.5.1 and 304.3.1. At least one unit in a cluster must be accessible, per ADA Standards section 213.2. Deluxe units cost $120 to $240 per week in Lyon.
If you're running a construction site with 20 or fewer workers, you need at least one toilet facility per OSHA 1926.51(c)(1). Scale up to 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 to 200, and 1 per 50 workers above 200. We rent portable handwashing stations too. Handwashing stations require soap and towels or a hand dryer per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), not just hand sanitizer. Many Lyon construction crews pair a handwashing station with each portable toilet to meet code.
Why rent from Novi Porta Pros instead of another vendor?
We're based in Novi and we know the roads to Lyon cold. Eight point four miles west puts you at the edge of our service zone, but it's still a single trip. We stock standard units, deluxe units, ADA accessible units, and we can pair them with temporary fencing or storage containers if your project needs site control.
We also handle septic pumping for residential properties in Lyon. A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, depending on tank size and household size. If you're managing a home renovation or a new build, we can schedule the porta potty and the septic work in one call. Restroom trailers are another option for larger events or longer projects. A 2-stall or 4-stall trailer costs $150 to $1,650 per week depending on features and duration.
We show up on time, we pump on schedule, and we respect your site. No surprises, no hidden fees. We're easy to reach and we stand behind our work. Check our service areas to confirm Lyon is in our zone, or contact us with your project details and we'll give you a straight answer on cost and availability.
Why does the porta potty smell?
Odor builds when the tank isn't emptied often enough or when sunlight breaks down the treatment chemicals. Weekly service and proper chemical balance solve it. We handle both.
Can I place a porta potty in my front yard?
Yes, if it fits. Most units are about 44 by 48 inches on the ground. Check your property line and confirm the placement won't block sightlines or utility access. Call before you order.
What happens to the waste?
We pump it into our truck and haul it to a licensed disposal facility. It's hauled as liquid waste and processed through standard sewage treatment, just like a septic tank pump-out.
Do porta potties freeze in winter?
Northern Michigan winters are hard on portable toilets. Chemicals protect the water line down to freezing, but if temperatures drop below zero for days, the tank can ice over. Tell us if winter rental is your plan and we'll discuss options.
How many portable toilets do I need for my event?
One unit handles ten users over a 40 hour week comfortably. A weekend wedding with 100 guests needs at least ten units. A construction crew of five needs one. We'll help you figure it out. Read our sizing guide or call us to talk through your event.
