How to reach us

Call Columbus Porta Pros during business hours to discuss your project. Tell us how many units you need, where you're setting up, and when you want delivery. We'll confirm availability and give you a cost estimate. Email works too if you'd rather describe the job in writing first. For jobs requiring dumpster permit requirements, we'll walk you through the Columbus City Code Chapter 903 occupancy permit process, which applies to any dumpster or container placed in the public right-of-way. The City of Columbus Department of Public Service issues these permits, and they're typically limited to a seven day period unless longer term is approved in advance. Placement within the public right-of-way needs confirming with the city. We handle roll-off dumpster rental across Columbus and can coordinate delivery logistics for jobs that need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck.

What to tell us when you call

Start with the project type: construction site, event, renovation, farm work or something else. Then give us the location in Columbus or the nearby town, the dates you need the units, and how many people will be using them. For construction site services, we'll ask whether OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) toilet requirements apply to your crew size. A construction site with 20 workers needs 1 toilet facility; sites with more workers need 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers. If your work involves applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, you'll need handwashing station rental with soap and towels, as required under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1). For event restroom rental in Columbus, tell us the expected attendance and event duration. For septic pumping service, give us the tank location and any concerns about backup or slow drainage. A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on tank size and household size. For storage container rental, describe what you're storing and how long you need it.

Other services we can discuss

Columbus Porta Pros also rents deluxe flushable porta potty units for customers who want more comfort, ADA accessible porta potty setups that meet ADA Standards section 213.2 (at least 5 percent of clustered units must be accessible, never fewer than one), and shower trailer rental for job sites or events. If you're managing a disaster relief sanitation response in Columbus, we can mobilize quickly. We rent temporary fence rental for site security and crowd control. Tell us if you need light tower rental for evening or night work, since OSHA 1926.56(a) sets minimum illumination intensities by area type on construction sites.

How do I know how many porta potties I need?

The crew size, event duration and facility type determine the count. For construction, use OSHA 1926.51(c)(1): that's 1 toilet facility for 20 or fewer workers, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up. Read our guide on how many porta potties do I need for other scenarios like festivals and outdoor events. Check how often are porta potties cleaned to understand service frequency.

What is a Chapter 903 permit and do I need one?
