How many porta potties does a construction crew need?
The number depends on crew size. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline: one toilet facility serves up to 20 workers, one toilet seat and urinal per 40 workers from 20 up to 200, and one toilet seat and urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. A typical Garden City job with 15 crew members needs one unit. A commercial renovation with 60 workers needs two. Savannah Porta Pros sizes your order to match your headcount, not your guess.
Check our OSHA portable toilet requirements guide for detailed crew calculations. We also serve the wider service areas throughout the region.
What's the cost to rent a porta potty in Garden City?
Daily rentals for a standard unit run $100 to $350 per day, depending on duration and the exact location. Weekly rentals cost $130 to $500. Monthly rentals range from $125 to $325. Delivery fees add $50 to $150 for jobs in Garden City and north Savannah. A weekend rate is higher: $125 to $400 for a two-day event.
Your actual quote depends on three things: unit type (standard, deluxe or ADA), rental length and delivery distance from our service hub in Savannah. See our porta potty rental cost breakdown for exact pricing. A call takes five minutes and locks in your rate same day.
Will I need a permit to place a porta potty in Garden City?
Placement in the public right-of-way needs confirming with the city. We recommend you check with Garden City's public works department before you commit. Some jobs sit on private property and never need a permit. Construction sites, public events and driveway placement often do. Savannah Porta Pros doesn't pull permits ourselves, but we can point you to the right office and we know the typical timeline.
Our team can also suggest placement that keeps your unit accessible but off public land, which saves time. An ADA accessible porta potty needs a flat, stable surface within 60 feet of the work area, per ADA Standards section 302.1. We handle setup once you've confirmed location rules.
Why should I call Savannah Porta Pros instead of a big national company?
We're local to Savannah and Garden City. That 7.5 mile distance means faster delivery, faster response when you call, and real people who know your streets. A national outfit dispatches from 30 miles away and slots you in with their Savannah jobs sometime next week. We show up next day, often same day for emergencies.
We also stock what you actually need. A standard porta potty rental holds 60 to 70 gallons, stands about 92 inches tall and takes up 44 by 48 inches on the ground. That fits most Garden City driveways and job sites without special rigging. We service once per week as the baseline interval per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, or more often if your crew runs long hours. One call gets you a real quote, not an algorithm, and one person stays your contact from rental to return.
How many units do I need for a weekend event in Garden City?
For a festival, wedding or concert near Garden City, count on one unit per 50 to 75 guests for a four-hour event. A 100-person wedding needs two. A 300-person festival needs four or five. If the event runs longer than eight hours, add capacity: one unit serves about 25 people over a full day.
Savannah Porta Pros delivers event restroom rentals with the same speed in Garden City as in Savannah. Deluxe units with handwashing stations and flushing work well for weddings. Standard units suit outdoor concerts and fairs. We arrive Friday, pick up Monday, and your guests never know we were there. Call us for an event restroom rental quote if your Garden City event is six weeks out.
What's the difference between standard and deluxe?
Deluxe units have flush toilets, improved lighting, better ventilation and a cleaner interior. Standard units use a traditional drop system and work fine for construction, demolition and outdoor work. For offices, events and customer-facing sites, deluxe justifies the upgrade. Price difference is about $100 to $200 per week. Savannah Porta Pros delivers both from the same fleet.
Can I keep a porta potty for three months?
Yes. Monthly rentals cost less per day than weekly, and we extend them as long as you need. Home renovation, long-term construction and seasonal business all use three-month or longer terms. Call to lock in a monthly rate for Garden City.
Do porta potties smell?
Not if serviced regularly. We empty holding tanks, sanitize the bowl and refill deodorant weekly. Bacteria and odor buildup only happen when a unit sits too long between services. We're local and we keep the schedule tight.
What about handwashing and OSHA compliance?
If your crew applies paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities with soap and a towel or hand dryer. Per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), hand sanitizer does not satisfy this. We rent handwashing stations that meet code. Dry hands after paint work: it's not optional.
How far north does Savannah Porta Pros deliver?
We cover Garden City and all surrounding areas, including Richmond Hill, Pooler and Port Wentworth. Delivery adds time if you're beyond 20 miles, but we handle it. Check our service areas map or call for your specific address.
