Frequently Asked Questions in Simi Valley, CA

Count your workers or guests and apply OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) rules: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up to 200, and one toilet seat and one urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. A wedding with 75 guests needs two units. A 12-person crew needs one. If placement in the public right of way is your plan, confirm the rules with the city of Simi Valley first. Simi Valley Porta Pros will help you size the rental correctly and position it for ADA accessible porta potty compliance if your site requires it.

A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, standing 92 inches tall. It has a toilet seat, urinal and paper dispenser. A deluxe flushable toilet adds a hand sanitizer and flushing action for a more finished feel. An ADA accessible porta potty meets ADA Standards section 213.2, which requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster and ensures the 60 inch diameter turning circle specified in ADA Standards section 304.3.1. For events in Simi Valley, deluxe units cost more but keep guests cleaner. Construction sites often use standard units. Check standard porta potty rental pricing if your budget is tight, or see deluxe flushable porta potty options for premium comfort.

A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. Watch for slow drains, sewage backups or wet spots near the tank as warning signs it's time. Simi Valley Porta Pros handles septic tank pumping and septic tank cleaning for homes and small commercial properties. If you operate a restaurant or food service facility with a grease trap, we pump those when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. Call us for a septic pumping service quote or learn more in our how often to pump a septic tank article.

No. Hazardous waste, paint, batteries, asbestos, propane tanks and radioactive materials cannot go in a dumpster. Heavy items like concrete and metal have weight limits. Most jobs in Simi Valley run 10, 20 or 30 yard sizes. Read what cannot go in a dumpster before you load, and confirm your dumpster weight limits with Simi Valley Porta Pros. Dumpster placement in the right of way may need a permit; confirm with the city. See construction dumpster rental if you're building or demolishing.

OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities where employees are engaged in applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides or other operations where harmful contaminants may be present. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) specifies that washing facilities must provide soap and towels or a hand drying device; hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy the requirement. For general construction, handwashing station rental keeps crews compliant and healthy. Simi Valley Porta Pros delivers portable sink rental units with hot and cold water, soap and paper towels.
