Frequently Asked Questions in Kirkland, WA

We rent 7 types of portable sanitation and site services in Kirkland: portable toilets, dumpsters, septic pumping, restroom trailers, storage containers, temporary fencing and handwashing stations. Below are the questions Kirkland customers ask us most, from unit sizing and cleaning schedules to cost breakdowns and facility counts.

How many portable toilets do I need for my event or job site?

The answer depends on how many people you're serving and for how long. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets minimums for construction sites: 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up. For events and festivals, a good rule is 1 unit per 50 to 100 guests, depending on how long they're there. Use our how many porta potties do you need guide to size your order correctly. If you're running a construction site, we can also help you figure out whether a standard unit or a deluxe flushable model makes more sense for your crew.

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

A standard portable toilet has a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground. It's the workhorse for job sites, festivals and temporary events. A deluxe unit adds hands-free flush, a sink and better lighting. Some customers choose deluxe for wedding rentals or upscale events. Both fit through standard gates. Check pricing by rental duration to compare what makes sense for your Kirkland project.

How often do portable toilets get serviced and cleaned?

One service visit per week is the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. High-traffic sites may need twice-weekly or daily service. We pump out the tank, restock supplies and sanitize the unit. For longer rentals in Kirkland, weekly service keeps everything working. Read more about how often porta potties are cleaned for your specific use case.

Do you rent dumpsters for construction debris and demolition?

Yes. We offer roll-off dumpster rental in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. A dumpster delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so measure your space before you call. Pricing varies by size and rental length. If you're in Kirkland and also need portable toilets, we can coordinate both deliveries on the same day. See our guide to what cannot go in a dumpster before you fill it.

Can I rent a restroom trailer instead of individual portable toilets?

Absolutely. A restroom trailer works well for construction sites, film sets and larger events where you want multiple stalls in one climate-controlled unit. We have 2, 4 and 8 stall options. They cost more than portable toilets but deliver a better experience for guests. Check out restroom trailer pricing and compare it to standard or deluxe portable units.

Do you offer septic pumping and tank cleaning?

Yes. We pump residential septic tanks on a schedule of every 3 to 5 years, depending on tank size and household size. We also handle grease trap pumping for restaurants and commercial kitchens in Kirkland. Call us for septic tank warning signs or when you need emergency service. Our septic pumping service page has more detail.

Do you deliver to nearby towns around Kirkland?

Yes. We service Kirkland and the surrounding area. Kenmore is 5.5 miles northwest, Bothell 6.1 miles north and Woodinville 7.8 miles northeast. Call us to confirm coverage for your specific address.

What's the cost difference between daily, weekly and monthly rentals?

Weekly rentals cost less per day than daily rentals, and monthly rentals cost less per day than weekly. See our porta potty rental cost page for exact ranges by unit type. Storage containers and dumpsters follow the same pattern.

Are your portable toilets ADA accessible?

We rent ADA accessible portable toilets that meet ADA Standards section 213.2: when units are clustered, at least 5 percent (and never fewer than one) must be accessible. These units have a 36 inch clear width door and a 60 inch diameter turning circle for wheelchair access.

Do you require a permit to place a portable toilet in Kirkland?

Placement in the public right of way in Kirkland needs confirming with the city. Contact us or the city planning office before you order. On private property, permits usually aren't required. We can help you navigate this.

What if I need portable toilets during winter?

Portable toilets work in cold weather. We use special winterization to keep the tank from freezing. Let us know your dates when you book so we prepare the units properly for Kirkland's season.
