About in Royal Oak, MI

Royal Oak Porta Pros rents portable toilets, septic pumping, dumpsters, storage containers, temporary fencing and handwashing stations to Royal Oak and nearby cities. We've served over 200 job sites, events and emergencies since opening. We handle job sites, events, emergency situations and seasonal work. If you need a toilet, we show up the same day most times.

Who We Are

We're a single-city business. That means we know Royal Oak. We've pumped septic tanks in Ferndale, which is 2.9 miles east, and pulled dumpsters in Birmingham, 4.7 miles northwest. We service Madison Heights 2.9 miles east, Oak Park 4.5 miles southwest, and Bloomfield 9.6 miles northwest. But Royal Oak is our home. We staff dispatch locally, we keep inventory here, and we handle service calls ourselves instead of contracting them out. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground. When you rent from us, you're calling people who understand what Royal Oak construction looks like and what local events need.

We rent standard porta potties, deluxe flushable models, and ADA accessible units. We pump residential septic tanks, which are typically pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on tank size and household size. We deliver roll-off dumpsters for construction debris and renovation work. We set up restroom trailers for weddings and festivals. We install temporary fencing and handwashing stations. We also rent storage containers for materials and equipment.

How We Price

Rental costs vary by unit type and how long you need it. A standard porta potty per day costs less than the same unit for a week, and weekly rates cost less than monthly. Monthly rentals work for long-term construction jobs. We charge a delivery fee separate from the unit rental. Service visits are included in longer rentals; if you need extra visits during a week, we add a separate service fee. Check our cost page for current rates and rental terms.

What We Service

Construction sites need toilets per OSHA 1926.51(c)(1): 1 facility for 20 workers or fewer; 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up; 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. We help contractors figure out how many units they need and where to place them. If your site has 15 workers, one standard unit works. If you have 50 workers, you need at least 2 units. We help you calculate how many porta potties you need, and we explain OSHA portable toilet requirements so you're compliant.

Events in Royal Oak need restrooms that work fast. Weddings, festivals, marathons, and golf tournaments all have different demands. A wedding restroom rental might be a single deluxe unit or a luxury restroom trailer. A festival restroom rental might be 4 or 6 standard units spread across the grounds. We show up early, place everything safely, and pick up when you're done.

Septic emergencies happen on weekends and at night. If your tank backs up, you call us for emergency septic service. We pump tanks and we pump grease traps. A grease interceptor is pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. A grease interceptor in a restaurant or food prep site fills much faster than a residential tank because of the load.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you deliver to a Royal Oak address?

Most deliveries happen the same day you call, especially for standard units during business hours. Emergency septic pumping service is available nights and weekends. Larger jobs like restroom trailers may need a day's notice depending on our schedule.

Do your portable toilets need electricity or water hookups?

No. A standard porta john rental is completely self-contained. It uses no power and no water from your site. Deluxe units are also standalone. Restroom trailers do need to be pumped out regularly, but they're not hooked to your water line.

What if I need an accessible unit for a disabled employee or guest?

We rent ADA accessible porta potties. They meet ADA Standards section 213.2 requirements: where single-user portable toilet units are clustered, at least 5 percent, and never fewer than one unit, must be accessible. The minimum clear width of an accessible route is 36 inches per ADA Standards section 403.5.1. We position them on level ground with proper clearance. Read our guide to ADA restroom requirements for placement details.

Can you leave a dumpster in the street or my driveway?

Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. We can place a roll-off dumpster on private property like a driveway. Call us to discuss your specific location and we'll advise you on what works.

Why do I need a handwashing station on my job site?

If workers are applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities where employees may be engaged in these operations or where other harmful contaminants may be present. Per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), those facilities must be equipped with soap and towels or a hand drying device. Hand sanitiser alone doesn't meet the standard. Even without those contaminants, handwashing stations are good practice for any site. Workers stay healthier and more productive when they can wash up properly.
