How to reach Tuscaloosa Porta Pros
Call our dispatch line during business hours to check availability and book a rental. A real person answers. We'll ask what you need, where the unit goes, and when you want delivery or pickup. If it's a weekend emergency or after-hours job, leave a message with your name, callback number and the work site address. Weekend and emergency calls get returned the next business day morning, or sooner if the situation is urgent.
For portable toilet rental, give us your site address and worker count. We size your order based on OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requirements: one toilet facility per 20 workers or fewer means a single unit handles most small crews. Larger projects need more units. For dumpsters and roll-off container rental, tell us the debris type and volume. Construction waste, demolition rubble and yard debris all go different places.
Emergency septic pumping is a common after-hours call. If your tank is backing up or you smell sewage near the drain field, call anytime. A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, but unexpected clogs and overflows happen. We pump grease interceptors when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth.
What to have ready when you call
Have your site address ready, or at least the cross streets if you're not sure of the full address. Know whether you need the unit in the public right of way or entirely on private property. For construction sites, placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. If your job is in Northport (6.4 miles west), Holt (4.3 miles east), Cottondale (7.6 miles southeast), Coker (9.9 miles west), or Brookwood (23.3 miles east), we cover those areas too.
Tell us the event or job start date and how long you'll need the rental. A deluxe flushable porta potty handles different events than a standard unit does. Festivals, weddings and outdoor markets often prefer the flushable model. Construction sites typically use standard units. ADA accessible units are required for public events and many work sites. ADA Standards section 213.2 says that where single-user portable toilet units are clustered, at least 5 percent of units must be accessible, and never fewer than one.
If you need restroom trailers, mention how many stalls you need and whether you want hot water. Trailers include flushing toilets and hand-washing sinks. Washing facilities must be provided with soap and with towels or a hand drying device, per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2). Handwashing stations are separate rentals if you need more sinks.
Service and pickup details
Most rentals deliver within one business day in Tuscaloosa. Weekend and emergency same-day delivery costs more. Standard delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck. If your site is tight, let us know. A standard portable toilet is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands about 92 inches tall. Make sure there's room, or we'll place it where it fits.
We clean and service during the rental period. One service visit per week is the baseline interval for sites with up to 10 users over a 40-hour week, per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. Longer rentals and busier sites get more frequent service. We handle everything: chemical treatment, waste removal, restocking toilet paper and soap, and minor repairs.
Pickup happens when you call. We retrieve the unit, haul it to our facility, clean it, and bill you. Most invoices are due within 30 days. We take credit cards, checks and bank transfers.
