When a storm knocks out water and sewer service, Fountainebleau Porta Pros can get portable toilets, handwashing stations and holding tanks staged within 24 hours of the call, not a week, with standard units running $100 to $350 a day once roads clear. We keep standard units and septic trucks ready year round because Florida weather does not wait for a work order.
Speed matters more than anything else in a disaster response. Fountainebleau Porta Pros stages emergency porta potty rental units close to Fountainebleau so trucks are not driving in from across the county when roads are already jammed with debris and utility crews. A standard unit is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, small enough to drop next to a shelter entrance, a command post, or a cul-de-sac without blocking access lanes. We coordinate delivery routes the same way we do for construction site services, because storm response and job site staging share the same logistics problem: get equipment in, keep it serviced, and do not let it become an obstacle. If the storm has taken out septic access along with power, we also run emergency septic service calls, and grease interceptors serving shelter kitchens are pumped once fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. Westchester sits 3.0 miles south of Fountainebleau and Sweetwater is 3.5 miles west, both close enough that we can shift trucks between staging points in the same afternoon if one area needs more units than another. That kind of short-hop flexibility is the whole point of keeping equipment local instead of dispatching from farther out.
A shelter running for more than a day or two needs toilets, handwashing, and a way to manage wastewater from temporary kitchens, and each of those is a separate rental decision. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline ratio for work crews: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers as headcount climbs past that, scaling again at 200 or more. Shelters are not construction sites, but relief operations that mix paid staff, volunteers and displaced residents tend to plan against that same ratio because it is the only sanitation math most site managers have ever used. Our portable restroom rental fleet includes ADA accessible porta potty units, and where several standard units are clustered together, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of them, and never fewer than one, to be accessible. Handwashing is its own requirement, not an afterthought bolted onto the toilets. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) calls for soap and towels or a hand drying device at wash stations, and hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy it. We pair handwashing station rental units with our restroom placements for exactly that reason, and where a shelter kitchen needs a wash sink rather than a wall-mounted station, portable sink rental covers that gap. For sites with no potable supply at all, OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) requires an adequate supply of potable water at every place of employment, shelters included in practice if not in the letter of the rule.
Emergency pricing runs close to standard weekend and short-term rates, not a separate disaster tier, because the same trucks and tanks serve both. A standard porta potty rental unit runs $125 to $400 for a weekend and $100 to $350 for a single day, with delivery fees separate. Septic pumping during an emergency call falls in the $150 to $300 day range or $50 to $150 for a weekend visit.
| service | duration | typical price |
|---|---|---|
| standard toilet | day | $150 |
| standard toilet | weekend | $250 |
| ADA unit | day | $230 |
| septic pump | day | $250 |
| delivery fee | day | $150 |
Full porta potty rental cost detail, including monthly rates for extended relief operations, is broken out separately, and if your response runs past two weeks, monthly porta potty rental pricing usually works out cheaper than repeated weekly billing. Storage for donated supplies is a real need too. A storage container rental unit gives a shelter a lockable place for bottled water, cots, and cleaning supplies without tying up truck trailers, and temporary fence rental keeps foot traffic away from staging areas and downed lines.
Under the OSHA 1926.51(c) ratio, 100 people fall in the 20-to-40-worker step, meaning at least one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 people. Most shelters round up and add a spare unit, plus one accessible unit per ADA Standards 213.2.
We stage ahead of forecast storms when possible and move as soon as roads clear. Safety rules out delivery once wind advisories are active, but Fountainebleau Porta Pros is usually rolling within hours of the all-clear.
Yes, but we keep it short for emergency calls. A request a quote form gets a truck moving; paperwork follows once units are placed.
We run holding tanks instead. See holding tank rental for options, paired with regular pump-outs until sewer service is restored.
Yes. We route between shelters, command posts and residential cleanup zones across Fountainebleau and nearby towns like Coral Terrace, 4.4 miles southeast, from one dispatch board.
