Question 1

How far is Wauwatosa from Milwaukee Porta Pros?

Accepted Answer

Wauwatosa sits 3.8 miles west of Milwaukee, roughly 11 minutes by car depending on traffic. That short distance means Milwaukee Porta Pros can deliver faster and keep service costs down compared to companies based farther away. A standard porta potty rental in Wauwatosa typically runs 100 to 350 dollars per day, plus delivery. Delivery itself costs 50 to 150 dollars for weekly rentals, a reasonable add when your site is that close to our Milwaukee base.

Question 2

What happens when you place a toilet in the Wauwatosa public way?

Accepted Answer

Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city, contact Wauwatosa's Department of Public Works to learn the specific fee, duration and application route for your job.

Question 3

How many toilets does a Wauwatosa construction site need?

Accepted Answer

A single standard porta potty rental covers crews up to about 20 people over a 40-hour week, provided we service it once per week. Larger crews need more units. A 50-person crew needs at least two toilets; a 100-person crew needs three. If your Wauwatosa site runs multiple shifts or weekend hours, add capacity. Milwaukee Porta Pros delivers and services as many units as you need. How many por

Question 6

Can Milwaukee Porta Pros deliver on weekends in Wauwatosa?

Question 7

What's included in weekly service?

Accepted Answer

One visit per week covers pumping, cleaning and restocking supplies. We empty the holding tank, sanitize the unit and refill the soap and paper. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) and industry standard ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 both expect weekly service for up to 10 users over a 40-hour work week. If your Wauwatosa crew is larger or works weekends, request twice-weekly service instead.

Question 8

Do I need a handwashing station too?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if your crew applies paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides. OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) mandates washing facilities for those operations. A handwashing station rental provides soap and towels, hand sanitizer alone does not meet the standard. Most construction sites in Wauwatosa skip the separate handwashing station because a deluxe flushable porta potty includes a small sink.

Question 9

What if my Wauwatosa site needs an ADA toilet?

Accepted Answer

ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit where portable toilets cluster. An ADA accessible porta potty has a 36-inch clear width door, a 60-inch turning circle and grab bars. It costs 120 to 400 dollars per day, more than a standard unit. Most Wauwatosa construction sites rent one ADA unit plus standard ones to meet code.
