Kansas City Porta Pros rents 7 types of equipment: portable toilets, septic pumping, dumpsters, storage containers, restroom trailers, temporary fencing and handwashing stations. We answer five questions customers ask most often about selecting the right gear, understanding costs and meeting regulations in Kansas City.
The count depends on how many people work on site and for how long. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up to 200, and 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers once you hit 200 or more. A short event with 30 people needs 1 unit. A construction crew of 80 needs 2 units minimum. Kansas City Porta Pros helps you size the job at no charge. Read our full guide to how many porta potties you need for details on crew size, shift length and the math behind the count.
Standard portable toilets cost 100 to 350 dollars per day depending on length of rental, while restroom trailers run 175 to 2,500 dollars per day. A 2 stall restroom trailer works for small crews and events in Kansas City. A 4 stall unit handles mid-size jobs. 8 stall trailers support large construction sites. Trailers include running water, flushing toilets and sinks with soap dispensers, meeting 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requirements for washing stations. Standard units hold 60 to 70 gallons and need weekly service; trailers need service twice a week on busy sites.

Standard units are the workhorse. They're about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, stand 92 inches tall and work for construction, outdoor events and temporary site needs across Kansas City. Deluxe flushable porta potties have a foot-flush valve, hand sanitizer and a higher-capacity tank. Deluxe units cost 85 to 1,200 dollars per day. Standard units run 100 to 350 dollars per day. Both hold the same 60 to 70 gallon tank. Choose deluxe if your crew expects comfort or if placement near foot traffic matters. Standard units serve most construction crews and outdoor work. ADA accessible units meet ADA Standards section 213.2, which requires clear floor width of 36 inches and a 60 inch turning circle.
Standard portable toilets get serviced once per week under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the industry standard. That covers up to 10 users over a 40 hour work week. Heavy-use sites in Kansas City, festivals, large construction crews, food service events, get twice-weekly or daily service. Restroom trailers need twice-weekly service as standard. Septic pumping on residential tanks happens every 3 to 5 years depending on household size and tank size. Grease trap pumping happens when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. Call Kansas City Porta Pros with your expected user count and we'll set the service schedule.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before you rent. Kansas City Porta Pros can advise on what your site requires, but you'll want to check local rules for construction sites, sidewalk events or street festivals. Private property, parking lots, backyards, commercial buildings, usually needs no permit. Call us and describe where you're placing the unit and we'll tell you what to verify.
