Standard porta potty
$125 to $250 a weekend
How far is Franklin from Milwaukee?
Franklin lies 14.2 miles south of Milwaukee, roughly a 31 minute drive depending on which part of town you're starting from. That distance matters for delivery cost. Milwaukee Porta Pros charges a delivery fee to bring units out to Franklin, and the fee scales with the distance and the equipment size. A single portable toilet delivered on a weekday runs between 50 and 150 dollars in delivery alone, depending on the specifics of your job. A roll-off dumpster or a restroom trailer will cost more to move, since the truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it to set down. Call before you order so we can confirm the fee for your exact address and equipment choice.
Placement in Franklin's public right of way requires a permit. The process is handled by Franklin's city government, not Milwaukee. Confirm permit requirements with your local code enforcement office before ordering. If you're placing equipment on private property, the permit rule doesn't apply, so get started right away. Milwaukee Porta Pros can help you understand what you need.
What type of portable toilet should I rent?
A standard porta potty holds 60 to 70 gallons and sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, standing roughly 92 inches tall. It works for most construction sites, outdoor events and emergency situations. Service visits happen roughly once a week under standard use, according to ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. Weekly rental runs between 130 and 500 dollars depending on your location and contract terms. A deluxe flushable model costs more but gives your crew or guests an experience closer to a real bathroom. Deluxe units rent from 150 to 290 dollars per week.
If you have disabled workers or guests, an ADA accessible portable toilet is required on most construction sites. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) tells you how many toilet seats you need based on crew size, but if you have even one worker with mobility issues, at least one unit must be accessible. ADA Standards section 213.2 says that if you cluster single-user units, at least 5 percent of them must be accessible, with a minimum of one. An accessible unit costs between 120 and 240 dollars per week. We handle placement and make sure the 36 inch minimum clear width and 60 inch turning circle fit your site. Call us to discuss your specific needs and check our service areas to confirm we reach Franklin.
Do I need a handwashing station?
Yes, if employees are applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides on your Franklin job. OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities in those exact contexts. A portable handwashing station must have soap and either towels or a hand drying device; hand sanitiser alone doesn't meet the rule under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2). A standard handwashing station rents between 30 and 220 dollars per week depending on duration and location. If you're uncertain whether your work triggers the requirement, describe it to us and we'll tell you straight. Handwashing stations also make sense at outdoor events in the Milwaukee area, weddings, and construction sites where workers just want to clean up before lunch or the end of shift. Milwaukee Porta Pros stocks these units and delivers them to Franklin as part of the same order.
What's included in the rental price?
When you rent from Milwaukee Porta Pros, delivery and pickup are separate line items, but your weekly or monthly fee covers one service visit per week as the baseline, according to ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. That means we empty the tank, restock supplies like toilet paper and hand soap, and leave your unit clean and ready. If your event or site needs more than one service visit per week, say your crew is 40 strong or your festival runs all weekend, tell us when you call and we'll quote you the extra service visits. Franklin sites that run longer than a month usually save money on monthly rental rates. Compare daily, weekly and event pricing on our porta potty rental cost page to see what fits your timeline.
How many toilets does a construction site in Franklin need?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the ratio: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer; one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers between 20 and 200; and one toilet seat and one urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. Count your crew and calculate upward. A 15 person framing crew needs one unit. A 60 person concrete pour needs two. Call us with your count and job type and we'll recommend the right mix of standard and deluxe models, plus any ADA units required.
Can I rent a portable toilet for a weekend in Franklin?
Yes. Weekend rental rates are higher than weekly because the demand is concentrated. A standard unit for a weekend event runs between 125 and 400 dollars. We deliver Friday and pick up Monday, so you're covered for a two day festival, a wedding, a graduation party or a movie shoot. Tell us your setup date and we'll lock it in.
What if my Franklin site needs a dumpster too?
Roll-off dumpster rental in Franklin works exactly like dumpster service in Milwaukee. You get a 20 or 30 yard box, we drop it, you fill it, and we haul it away. A 20 yard dumpster rents between 426 and 778 dollars per week. Delivery fees run 50 to 150 dollars per week depending on the box size. We handle construction debris, roofing, demolition waste and general junk. Never put hazardous waste, tires, batteries or electronics in the dumpster; those belong elsewhere. Ask us what you can't throw in before you start loading.
How often should I pump my septic tank in Franklin?
A residential tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. Have it inspected every year to watch for solids buildup. If you're on a residential septic system in Franklin and it's backing up or draining slowly, call for emergency septic service. We pump tanks and holding tanks all over the Milwaukee area, including Franklin. Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources requires all septage businesses to be licensed under ch. NR 113, Wisconsin Administrative Code, and our operators are certified under ch. NR 114. We dispose of all septage legally and file annual reports as required.
