Benefits of Construction Site Portable Toilets

Author: Viola Grosso

When planning the logistics of a construction site, there are so many things to think about, including worker safety, fencing and easy access for trucks. The problem of  porta potties might seem like a minor detail, one that can be left to the last minute. However, many jurisdictions require that all plans at sites, including construction site portable toilets, be submitted in advance. While it might be tempting, therefore, to do away with portable toilets entirely and let workers find restrooms offsite, you’ll be doing a disservice not only to your workers, but to the job, to your business and to the community. Construction site portable toilets are the smart choice for any building site. They increase productivity, are good for the environment and offer overall benefits to the job. In the end, they save you and your business money.

Renting portable toilets for your construction site is not just a good idea; in many cases, it’s also the law. Depending on the size and specifications of your construction site, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) may require you to have portable toilets on hand. In addition, many local regulations in the New Jersey area also require portable toilets. For example, the city of North Wildwood, New Jersey, has specific ordinances surrounding construction site portable toilets in its municipal code. Among other things, it specifies that any construction site where water or sewer service is disconnected for 72 hours must have at least one portable toilet on site. Failure to comply with local regulations can cost you time and money, and cause headaches in general. Cover your bases and rent construction site portable toilets.

Although you might not think it, having portable toilets at a construction site can dramatically increase productivity, saving you money and speeding up the completion time for a construction project. For one thing, at construction sites with no portable toilets, workers must wander off site in search of restrooms.  Think of all the time lost when workers get in the habit of abandoning the work site for minutes on end. You might be surprised to find how often an off site restroom break can turn into a smoke break. Having workers wandering off site can also cultivate bad relations with neighbors, causing even more headaches for your construction project. When you rent construction site portable toilets you have sanitation facilities on site. Workers are present all the time and accountable, and your company will save money with workers spending more time on the job and less time taking breaks. 

One of the less well-known benefits of construction site portable toilets is the positive environmental impact that they can have. Regular toilets are water wasters. If you figure that a construction site has a ten crew team working a 40 hour week, they will generate roughly 30 gallons of waste. Conventional facilities would require 2,500 gallons of clean water to treat that waste. By contrast, construction site portable toilets need only 30 gallons to do the same job, an incredible savings that is good for the environment and good for the community. It is important to remember that what is good for the environment is also good for business, as you can tout the environmental consciousness of your work site to prospective clients.

Renting construction site portable toilets is the smart choice. In addition to being compliant with state and local regulations, you’ll see productivity and environmental benefits that are good for the bottom line.

    All I want is the 75 gallon all glass aquarium and lighted hood, no extras. I want these both to be new. Also I would like to know the price of a 75 gallon acrylic aquarium. What about plexi glass. How much for the aquarium and how much for the hood?
    I just want a base price. I can negotiate with fish shop owners, how low can I negotiate. How much are they at petco? I know petco has a $1 a gallon sale up to 55 gallons.
    Also could you give me the dimesions of a standard 55 gallon and a standard 75 gallon.

  2. CoralReefForum says:

    my 55 gallon is 4 feet in length, 12 inches wide, and 20 inch high

    my 75 is a corner tank so i dont have the specs on that.

    Anyway lets go back to question. All glass is cheaper than acrylic, Im not sure if you know the difference, but heres alitle bit about it.

    Acryilic is light, but gets damaged more easily. It is more expensive as well. Where glass is heavier, and less easily scratched.

    My hood for my 55 gallon was a 100 dollars by itself. I did buy my 55 gallon new, with a double stand for 88 dollars from my lfs.

    So that is just a general price range. For a brand new 75 with a hood you can expect the ball park number of 170-200, the hood being the most expensive part.

    I just got a 55 gallon tank. I am making it a saltwater tank. I know some of the things i will need but Im not sure what all I need.

  4. BIGgourami says:

    you need the same stuff for a freshwater set up (tank, stand, filter, heater, misc. stuff (siphon, nets, food, etc))

    but you’ll also need a hydrometer or refractometer

    live rock and a good protein skimmer would make your job alot eaier in the long run

    if you wanted corals you’ll need better lighting than standard aquarium strip lights, a T5 light would be ideal.
    but you wont need one for a while as you really shouldn’t add corals to the tank for the first 6 months to a year anyway.. allowing the tank to establish

    an undergravel filter is NOT required, and generally not advised. they quickly dirty and become nitrate factories, killing fish and coral

  5. SGconcupiscentsylk says:

    I have a 150 gallon used glass aquarium that has all the equipment to set it up as a salt water tank. I want to sell it and the wooden stand for it, but want to know what a fair price would be.

  6. danielleZ says:

    For the tank it is usually $1 per gallon the stand is usually $.50 per gallon the filters, depending on condition and type this will vary. If they are actually used 1/2 total purchase price.

    So you are looking here for just the aquarium and stand $225 plus what every you have as far as equipment. THis is a good starting point. You can go up or down from there.

  7. Hobo says:

    1 dwarf gourami
    1 angelfish
    1 betta (male or female, which one?)
    7 neon tetras

    are all these ok to buy for my 20 gallon?
    what about if i forget about the betta and angelfish and get 2 german blue rams? would that work?

  8. TheRav1n says:

    No on the angelfish. The betta and gourami may fight.

    Your alternate plan of rams instead of the betta and angelfish is a much better plan. Depending on your filtration, if adequate, you could even add more, like a school of small cory cat, and/or some oto cats, and/or some shrimp to keep the tank clean of algae and leftover food. Some more neons can be added for a larger school.

  9. Smoothasbutteronakitten! says:

    I bought a “29 gallon all-glass aquarium” from Walmart a year ago. I want to switch lighting fixtures but I have no idea how to get the hood open to unscrew the bulb! If you turn the hood over you see the glass and the bulb, but there are no screws or anything. I really would like to change the fixture. Thanks.

  10. guppylover says:

    If it’s a plastic top look carefully around the edge of the glass. Mine have little nibs that hold the glass in place. I pull the plastic apart at one or more of the nibs, one at a time, the plastic moves just enough that I can get the glass out.

  11. Angry American says:

    I just bought a 30 gallon aquarium….it came with all the decorations…plants…rocks etc….also came with a bubble tube…..a fliter and a heater and thermometer…do I need anything else? Also came with a python tube too……….. am I ready to get started?

  12. David says:

    you’ll need water and fish and chemicals

  13. DavidWinAcworth,Ga. says:

    Anybody know the dollar amount that a 1 gallon glass apple cider jug full of Penny’s filled all way to rim would be?..
    Thinking about using it in the penny slots on a cruise. But it weighs about 70lbs..

  14. austin says:

    A dollar weighs about 1.25 pounds. I would weigh it on a scale if you have one, then divide by 1.25.

    We could guess at the true contents, but the variable of how it is situated is very large.

  15. JesseC says:

    Will you loose weight if you drink a gallon all at once.

  16. loverboy408us says:

    well i know the radio station in sacramento did a stunt with drinking a gallon and the lady died

  17. EmJae says:

    I have a blue betta fish (not sure if its a male or female) in a 1 gallon tank. The tank came with a air pump and a light. Im not using the air pump as of right now but i am the light. What all fish could I put in there with the betta and can i put a female or male and with the opposite like if its a male put a female in there and same if its a female? Thanksss(:

  18. Mitiki says:

    You can only have a betta or it’ll be overstocked.
    Is it male or female? Males have long flowing fins and females don’t.
    But to the point, you can’t put anything else in there. Two males will fight and a male and female might fight too.
    Please don’t get any more fish or too much waste and less oxygen will be in the limited space.
    Also, try to get a larger tank with a filter, maybe about 2 gallons.

  19. JustMe says:

    When I was a little kid, I remember buying five goldfish and putting them all in a one gallon bowl to live in. When I left the house for two hours and came back, all of them were dead. Why did this happen?

  20. catx says:

    Because bowls are actually entirely unsuitable for fish.

    For 5 Goldfish to live a long and healthy life (they should live over 15 years and get between 8″-14″ depending on variety) you’re looking at letting them at least 20 US gallons each, with the tank to have a fully established filter designed for double the capacity of the tank.

    In that bowl I would imagine you plonked them into straight tap water, no dechlorinator, which wouldn’t have been a good start. Then 5 Goldfish would have instantly started pooping and in such a TINY volume of water, that water have turned toxic within those 2 hours and poisoned the fish, burning them inside and out. The stress of all this would have killed them dead.

    And this is why Goldfish can never be kept in bowls.
