Frequently Asked Questions in San Leandro, CA

OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the standard for San Leandro job sites: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers as you scale up. At 200 or more workers, add one facility per 50 workers. The count depends on shift length and crew size, so send us your headcount and we'll nail the number. Read more in our construction site services guide, or if your crew includes painters or workers handling herbicides, handwashing station requirements matter per OSHA 1926.51(f)(1). A standard porta potty holds 60 to 70 gallons and stands about 92 inches tall.

A standard porta potty gives you a tank, a seat, a lid and a roll of tissue. A deluxe flushable porta potty adds a foot pump, hand sanitizer and a rinse function that mimics a real toilet. Deluxe units cost more per day but they're worth it for customer-facing events or where workers expect something less rough. Both fit through a standard doorway. An ADA accessible porta potty meets ADA Standards section 213.2: we cluster units so at least 5 percent are accessible, with a 60 inch turning circle and a 32 inch clear door opening width per ADA Standards section 404.2.3.

A residential septic tank pumps every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and how many people live in the house. If your drains are slow, you're smelling odors near the tank, or wastewater backs up into your home, call for septic tank pumping right away. San Leandro residents should never wait until a failure forces an emergency call. A grease interceptor pumps when fats, oils and grease reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. We handle routine septic pumping service and emergency calls across San Leandro.

Paint, oil, batteries, propane tanks, tires and anything hazardous stays out. Asbestos, electronics and yard waste often have local rules too. We haul general construction debris, household junk and demolition material. Call before you toss anything unusual. For details, see what cannot go in a dumpster. A roll-off dumpster needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to set down safely.

Once weekly is the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. Heavier use needs twice weekly or more. Events and job sites with longer hours or more people get serviced more often. San Leandro Porta Pros picks up waste, restocks tissue and hand sanitizer, and cleans the bowl. If you're renting a restroom trailer, we service those on your schedule too. A standard unit is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, so placement matters when space is tight.
