Durham Porta Pros has been renting portable toilets, septic pumping equipment, roll-off dumpsters, storage containers, restroom trailers, temporary fencing and handwashing stations to Durham residents and contractors since 2008. We're a single-city operation that knows the territory, the permit requirements and the seasonal challenges that come with keeping a job site running.
We started because construction crews and event planners in Durham needed a rental company that actually understood the local market instead of routing calls to a regional dispatcher three states away. Every piece of equipment we own is maintained in-house. When you call, you're talking to someone who can tell you whether a portable toilet fits through your gate or whether your septic tank needs pumping this month or next, not someone reading from a script.
We handle standard porta potty rentals, ADA accessible units, and deluxe flushable models for the jobs where a basic unit won't cut it. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, so we know what fits and what doesn't. We've placed thousands of them on job sites throughout Durham. We also provide septic pumping service for homeowners, a residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size, and we handle grease trap pumping for restaurants where a grease interceptor is pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth.
Our roll-off dumpsters come in multiple sizes for renovation debris, demolition waste and general construction cleanup. We deliver a restroom trailer when a single portable toilet isn't enough, events, film sets, large construction projects and festivals all need the comfort and capacity that a multi-stall trailer provides. We stock storage containers for secure equipment storage during off-hours, temporary fencing to keep work areas contained, and handwashing stations for sites where workers are applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, per OSHA 1926.51(f)(1).
We deliver and service everything ourselves. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and we'll work with your site supervisor to find the right spot. Our portable toilet rental cost depends on duration and unit type; check our daily rental and monthly rental pages for current pricing. We also publish dumpster rental cost and storage container rental cost so you know what to expect before you call.
Durham Porta Pros covers all of Durham proper and reaches into Chapel Hill, 9.6 miles to the southwest, Morrisville, 13.5 miles south, and Wake Forest, 24.6 miles east. We know the roads, the weather patterns, the seasonal demand spikes and the permit departments. Most of our customers are repeat clients, contractors who rent from us job after job, homeowners who call us every few years for septic work, and event organizers who've learned that a single-city company shows up when it says it will.
One service visit per week is the standard interval per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, and we schedule pickups around your site's needs. High-traffic events and large crews get more frequent visits.
A standard unit is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands about 92 inches tall. If you send a photo or give us the dimensions, we can tell you whether it fits or whether you need a narrower model.
Yes. Call us with your situation and we'll tell you what's available same-day or next-morning. Emergency porta potty rental and emergency septic service are both available.
Delivery covers placement in the agreed location. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with local authorities. Our site pages list pricing by unit type and rental duration.
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer; 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up; and 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. We can help you calculate the count based on your crew size and shift length.
