A Medford job site needs one toilet for every 20 workers under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1), plus a dumpster, and often a temporary fence around the perimeter. Medford Porta Pros delivers all three together, so your super isn't juggling three vendors and three delivery windows for one job.
Every active site needs sanitation, debris removal and some kind of perimeter control. That's the baseline. Construction dumpster rental covers the debris side, usually a 20 or 30 yard unit depending on the trade mix. Standard porta potty rental covers the crew, sized against your headcount, not guessed at. And temporary fence rental keeps the site secured after hours, which matters more in denser parts of Medford where foot traffic passes right by the lot line. Bigger jobs add a handwashing station rental near the break area, especially if the scope includes painting or coating work, since OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities specifically where employees apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides. Some crews also want a mobile office trailer rental or a locked storage container rental for tools overnight. We plan the drop layout with your site super before delivery, not after, because moving a full dumpster or a serviced toilet mid-job costs everybody time.
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the ratio: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers as the crew grows past that, dropping to one seat and one urinal per 50 workers once you hit 200 or more. A 15 person framing crew needs one unit. A 60 person job needs two seats plus urinals under that same table. Run the math against your actual headcount, not the trailer count, using our how many porta potties do I need guide, or read the full breakdown at OSHA portable toilet requirements. If your crew includes workers with mobility limitations, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster, and never fewer than 5 percent of the total. We stock those separately, see ADA accessible porta potty for specs including the 60 inch turning circle required under section 304.3.1.
A standard unit runs $100 to $350 a day depending on service frequency, or $125 to $500 a month for a long-haul job, and that monthly rate is where most Medford general contractors land once the site runs past a few weeks.
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $100 | $150 | $350 |
| Week | $130 | $200 | $500 |
| Month | $125 | $200 | $325 |
Delivery adds a separate fee, generally $50 to $150 for a weekly setup, sometimes higher for a rush same-day drop. Full detail on what drives the spread, tank size, service interval, unit count, sits at porta potty rental cost. If you're pricing a short punch-list job instead of a full build, porta potty rental per day breaks down the daily figures on their own, and monthly porta potty rental covers the long-term math including what happens when a job runs past its original schedule.
Placement in the public right of way, meaning a unit or dumpster sitting on the street or sidewalk rather than fully on private property, needs confirming with the city before delivery. We don't guess on this. Most residential and small commercial lots in Medford keep everything on-site and skip the question entirely, but a tight urban lot near downtown often doesn't have room, and that's when the right-of-way question comes up. Check dumpster permit requirements and porta potty permit requirements before you commit to a layout, and call ahead if your site borders a sidewalk or shares a curb cut. A roll-off delivery also needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so measure your access lane before the truck shows up, not after it's blocked in. See dumpster sizes and dimensions for footprint specs across the common sizes, and what cannot go in a dumpster before your crew starts filling it, since certain materials trigger extra handling fees.
Job sites outside Massachusetts ask us the same questions from other regions, construction portable toilet rental near Texas, construction portable toilet rental near California, and the OSHA ratio under 1926.51(c)(1) is federal, so the toilet count math holds nationwide even though cal osha portable toilet requirements construction add their own state-level provisions on top of the federal floor. We only run Medford and the towns around it, Winchester 3.7 miles northwest, Everett 4.3 miles southeast, Woburn 6.0 miles northwest, so if your job sits outside that radius, check service areas for who's close. For sites within reach, request a layout through request a quote or start from the home page to see the full service list, including roll-off dumpster rental and portable toilet rental as standalone options if you don't need the combined package.
Most Medford job sites get next-day delivery once the order and site access are confirmed. Rush same-day drops are possible depending on truck routing that day. Call ahead if your start date is fixed, since same-day delivery fees run higher than the standard weekly rate.
Yes. We adjust unit count against your OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) ratio as headcount changes. Call before the crew grows past your current ratio, not after, so service scheduling and drop-off stay on track without a gap in coverage.
Most home renovation and small commercial jobs run a 20 yard dumpster. Larger new-build or demo jobs move up to 30 or 40 yard. See dumpster weight limits before loading, since overage fees apply past the included weight.
Yes, as a standalone rental. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), washing facilities need soap and towels or a hand-drying device; hand sanitizer alone doesn't satisfy that standard on its own.
Book at least a week out for standard delivery scheduling. Rush orders are possible but cost more and depend on truck availability that week, so early booking protects your start date and your rate.
Yes. Medford Porta Pros delivers construction site services across Medford and the surrounding metro, with same-day and next-day drop-off available on most orders.
