Frequently Asked Questions in Conway, AR

How many portable toilets does my construction site need?

OSHA requires 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up, according to OSHA 1926.51(c)(1). A crew of 35 people needs at least 2 units. A crew of 80 needs a minimum of 3. The math changes if your crew works a weekend shift or an extended day, and it changes again for events in Conway where foot traffic is unpredictable. Call with your crew count and hours and we'll size the order right. See how many porta potties you need for the full breakdown by job type.

What's the price difference between daily, weekly and monthly rental?

The longer you rent, the lower your daily cost. A standard porta potty runs $100 to $350 per day depending on service level, but $130 to $500 per week and $125 to $325 per month. Monthly renters in Conway save the most per day. A deluxe unit ranges $85 to $1,200 daily, $150 to $290 weekly and stays out at weekly rates. Events in Conway often use weekend pricing, which sits between the day and week rates.

Handwashing requirements

Where can I legally place a portable toilet on my property or job site?

Placement rules depend on whether you're using public right-of-way, setback distance from property lines, and whether the ground is stable enough for delivery. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. A standard unit sits 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands about 92 inches tall, so you need at least that much clear space. The delivery truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it. ADA accessible units in Conway must have a 36 inch minimum clear width of approach, a 32 inch minimum clear door opening, and 5 percent of clustered units accessible per ADA Standards section 213.2. See porta potty placement guide for site prep details.

Do handwashing stations have to be soap and towels, or can I use hand sanitizer?

Hand sanitizer is not enough. Per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), washing facilities must supply soap and towels or a hand drying device. Sanitizer kills germs on contact but doesn't remove dirt, oils or contaminants from skin. If your work involves paint, coatings, herbicides or insecticide application in Conway, a handwashing station rental with running water becomes a legal requirement under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1). We rent portable sinks with hot water and propane heat for cold months.

How often should I pump my residential septic tank?

A residential septic tank pumps every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and how many people live in the home. A family of four in a 1,000 gallon tank needs service sooner than a couple in a 2,000 gallon tank. A grease interceptor pumps when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth, which happens faster in commercial kitchens. Conway homeowners with slow drains, raw sewage surfacing or persistent odors should call for emergency septic pumping service right away.
