How many porta potties do I need for a construction job in Murray?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline: you need 1 toilet facility for every 20 workers or fewer, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers once you hit 20 on site. A 5-person framing crew needs one standard unit. A 60-person renovation needs 2 units minimum. That's the federal floor; your job might need more if workers spend long hours away from buildings. A standard porta potty holds 60 to 70 gallons and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, so site layout matters too. Call Salt Lake City Porta Pros to size your Murray job right.
What's the delivery cost from Salt Lake City to Murray?
Delivery to Murray runs $100 to $150 per drop because the drive is short. 11.6 miles south of Salt Lake City puts you in the sweet spot for our trucks. One-day rentals cost around $150 for a standard unit plus the delivery fee, so a 24-hour emergency pull costs roughly $250 to $300 total. Weekly and monthly rentals in Murray split the delivery cost over longer rental periods, which cuts your per-day price. Porta potty rental per day covers single-day rates if that's your need. Ask about bundling portable toilets with septic pumping service or handwashing station rental to save on multiple trips.
Does Murray allow portable toilets on the property line?
Placement of portable toilets in public right of way needs confirming with the city of Murray directly. Salt Lake City Porta Pros can set units on private property without obstacle. Most Murray contractors place toilets on job sites where they won't block sidewalks, utility access or parking. If your property sits tight to the curb or you're working near a busy street, call ahead to verify where the city allows placement. We've worked enough Murray jobs to know the gotchas. Our crew can maneuver a standard unit into tight spaces and position it for ADA accessible service if your crew has employees with mobility needs. The unit stands 92 inches tall, so overhead clearance matters on some sites.
What if I need restroom facilities for a Murray event?
Events in Murray rent deluxe flushable porta potties or restroom trailers because standard units look rough at festivals and weddings. A 2-stall restroom trailer costs around $1,500 to $2,000 for a weekend event in Murray. Restroom trailers include running water, flushing toilets and hand soap per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), so guests feel like they're using real bathrooms. Deluxe units cost less and still flush, but trailers handle bigger crowds. For a 200-person wedding or block party in Murray, rent 2 to 3 portable toilets or one 4-stall trailer. Service intervals depend on foot traffic, so tell Salt Lake City Porta Pros your expected attendance and we'll schedule pickups right. Check our service areas to confirm Murray coverage.
How often does Salt Lake City Porta Pros service portable toilets in Murray?
One visit per week is the baseline for standard units serving 10 workers over a 40-hour week per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the portable sanitation service standard. Busier sites need twice-weekly or daily pumping. Event toilets get pumped the morning after they're dropped if guest count was high. Salt Lake City Porta Pros schedules Murray service on Tuesdays and Thursdays to match your crew's availability. Emergency same-day service costs extra but we do it. A monthly porta potty rental in Murray receives 4 service visits built into the price, which works out cheaper than renting by the week if your project runs longer than 3 weeks.
What if I need a portable toilet for a construction site in Murray that runs at night?
Night sites get portable toilets the same as day jobs. If your crew works evenings, the unit stays on site. Lighting is your crew's responsibility under OSHA 1926.56(a). Temporary lighting must hit a certain foot-candle intensity depending on the area type, so check that standard or ask your general contractor.

Use the toilet and urinal as designed. Don't flush diapers, wipes, paper towels, sanitary products or grease. Empty trash regularly. Solid waste and toilet paper only. Grease kills the tank and costs extra to clean.
