Questions Answered

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about portable toilet rental in Detroit

How many portable toilets do I need for my event in Detroit?

For events: 1-50 guests need 1 unit, 51-100 guests need 2 units, 101-250 guests need 3-4 units (1 ADA), 251-500 guests need 6-8 units (2 ADA). Add 20% more for events serving alcohol. Construction sites follow OSHA standards: 1 toilet per 10 workers, with ADA units required for sites with 15+ workers. We provide detailed planning guidance based on your specific event type, duration, and guest demographics.

Do I need ADA-compliant portable toilets for my Detroit event?

Yes, for public events, ADA units are required by law - typically 5% of total units with a minimum of 1. Construction sites with 15+ workers must provide at least 1 ADA unit. ADA units must be placed on accessible routes with firm, stable surfaces and adequate clearance. We ensure proper placement and compliance with all accessibility requirements for Detroit events and construction projects.

What is included in portable toilet cleaning and servicing?

Our standard service includes waste tank pump-out, toilet paper refill, hand sanitizer refill, interior cleaning and disinfecting, deodorizing treatment, and exterior cleaning. Standard weekly service schedule is included, but we offer daily servicing for multi-day events and bi-weekly options for longer construction projects. All servicing is performed by trained, uniformed professionals.

Do portable toilets smell bad?

Modern portable toilets are well-ventilated and use effective deodorizing chemicals to minimize odors. Regular servicing prevents odor buildup, and our deluxe units have enhanced ventilation systems. Luxury restroom trailers have the best odor control with flushing systems and climate control. Proper placement away from direct sunlight also helps minimize any potential odors.

When should I choose a luxury restroom trailer instead of standard portable toilets?

Choose luxury trailers for upscale weddings, VIP events, corporate gatherings, and when guest comfort is a priority. They're ideal for extreme weather (climate control), elderly guests, multi-day events, and client-facing situations. Luxury trailers feature running water, flush toilets, mirrors, lighting, and upscale finishes that enhance the guest experience at premium Detroit events.

Can portable toilets be placed on grass or soft ground?

Yes, but ground protection is recommended. We can provide plywood boards to prevent sinking and protect landscaping. Avoid placement during or immediately after heavy rain when ground is saturated. Consider proximity to service truck access - our trucks need firm surfaces. For events on grass, we recommend placing units on the perimeter where vehicles can access without damaging the event area.

How fast can you deliver portable toilets in Detroit?

Same-day delivery is available throughout Detroit and Wayne County for orders placed by noon, subject to availability. Next-day delivery is guaranteed for all orders. For planned events, we recommend booking 1-2 weeks in advance to ensure availability of specific unit types. Emergency deliveries can often be accommodated within 2-4 hours for urgent construction site needs.

What if my event is outside Detroit city limits?

We serve all of Wayne County and many surrounding areas including Dearborn, Warren, Livonia, Westland, and other Metro Detroit suburbs. Delivery fees may apply for locations outside our primary service area, but we provide competitive pricing throughout Southeast Michigan. Contact us for specific pricing to your location.

Do you service long-term construction site rentals?

Yes, we specialize in long-term construction rentals with weekly servicing included. We offer bi-weekly service for smaller sites and custom schedules for large projects. Long-term discounts are available for rentals of 3+ months. We work with construction managers to coordinate service around job site schedules and requirements.

What's the difference between standard and deluxe portable toilets?

Deluxe units feature hands-free flushing systems, built-in sinks with running water, mirrors, hand sanitizer dispensers, and enhanced ventilation. Standard units include basic toilets with TP dispensers and ventilation but no running water. Deluxe units are recommended for events where appearance matters, while standard units work well for construction sites and budget-conscious events.

Can I rent portable toilets for multi-day events or festivals?

Absolutely! We provide daily or twice-daily servicing for multi-day events to prevent overuse issues and maintain sanitation standards. Festival pricing adjusts based on duration, expected attendance, and service frequency. We work with event organizers to develop custom service schedules that keep facilities clean and functional throughout the entire event.

How do I know if I need handwash stations?

Handwash stations are required for events involving food service (health code requirements) and recommended by OSHA for construction sites. General recommendation is 1 handwash station per 2 portable toilets. They're essential for festivals, outdoor dining events, and construction sites where workers handle food. Wayne County Health Department may require handwash stations for certain permitted events.

What happens if a portable toilet gets damaged during my event?

Damage fees apply for vandalism, misuse, or negligence beyond normal wear and tear. Normal usage wear is expected and covered. Report any issues immediately so we can provide replacement units if needed. Most event damage is minor and doesn't result in charges. We work with event organizers to minimize risks and provide quick solutions if problems arise.

Do you provide portable toilets for Detroit special events like festivals and concerts?

Yes, we're experienced with large-scale Detroit events including music festivals, marathons, outdoor concerts, and community gatherings. We coordinate with event organizers, obtain necessary permits, and provide comprehensive restroom facilities including standard units, ADA-compliant toilets, handwash stations, and luxury trailers for VIP areas. Volume discounts available for large events.
