When a storm knocks out water or sewer service, Bartlett Porta Pros can usually get standard units on site within hours, not days, and can scale from a handful of toilets to a full bank with handwashing stations. Standard unit rentals run 100 to 350 dollars a day depending on volume and duration.
Disaster response does not wait for a normal quote cycle, and Bartlett Porta Pros treats emergency calls that way. Once you call, the priority is figuring out headcount, water status and access, then rolling trucks. A portable toilet rental delivered in an emergency window still needs the same clearance as a routine job: figure 60 feet of straight space behind the truck for anything requiring a roll-off style delivery, though most standard toilets go in with far less room. If Bartlett city water is out at a shelter, church or command post, potable water still has to be supplied somewhere in the operation under OSHA 1926.51(a)(1), which requires an adequate supply of potable water at any place of employment, including relief staging areas run by contractors or agencies. That is where a handwashing station rental or a portable sink rental earns its keep, because responders and volunteers need somewhere to wash that does not depend on the grid. For displaced households, an emergency porta potty rental at a shelter or staging lot can be up within the same day in many cases, and if the event runs past a week, ask about the difference in porta potty rental per day pricing versus a longer stay under monthly porta potty rental terms.
Shelters, command posts and volunteer staging areas are workplaces too, and OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline most disaster response plans lean on: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers once headcount passes 20, scaling to one seat and one urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. That ratio is a good starting point even for civilian evacuees, and Bartlett Porta Pros can help you size a bank of units using the same math laid out in how many porta potties do I need. Handwashing is separate from toilet count. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), washing facilities need soap and towels or a hand-drying device; hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy that standard, which matters if your shelter plan currently lists only sanitizer stations. A hand sanitizer station rental is fine as a supplement, never a replacement. Accessibility does not get waived because it is an emergency. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires that where single-user portable units are clustered, at least 5 percent be accessible, with a minimum of one unit regardless of total count, so any shelter deployment of size should include an ADA accessible porta potty from the start rather than as an afterthought. For longer-duration shelters, a restroom trailer rental or even a 4 stall restroom trailer gives evacuees something closer to normal, and a shower trailer rental matters once people are sheltering for more than a few days.
Yes, and most disaster response plans need both moving at once. Storm debris, downed limbs, waterlogged drywall and ruined furniture pile up fast, and a roll-off dumpster rental parked next to the sanitation units keeps a staging site from turning into a hazard. Bartlett Porta Pros can bring a 20 yard dumpster rental for a single household cleanup or a 30 yard dumpster rental for a block-level operation, and OSHA 1926.25 still applies to any contractor crew clearing debris, requiring scrap and waste to be cleared from work areas as the job proceeds. If cleanup crews are pressure washing, applying coatings or handling insecticide after flood damage, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that specific work, separate from general toilet counts. Lighting matters too once crews are working past dusk in a damaged area; OSHA 1926.56(a) sets minimum illumination levels for construction and cleanup areas, so a light tower rental is worth adding to the order alongside a temporary power pole if the site has no working electrical service. Need somewhere secure to stage tools and donated supplies. A storage container rental or a mobile office trailer rental can serve as a command point, and temporary fence rental helps keep a damaged property secured while claims and repairs move forward. Bartlett sits close enough to draw equipment from nearby coverage fast: Lakeland is 6.4 miles east, and Germantown is 13.1 miles south, both close enough to stage backup units if a Bartlett deployment runs long.
Pricing follows normal rental bands even during emergency response: a standard unit runs 100 to 350 dollars a day, with weekend service typically 125 to 400 dollars. Delivery fees for rush service can run higher than routine delivery. Ask Bartlett Porta Pros for a direct quote once headcount is known.
Yes. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of clustered portable units be accessible, with a minimum of one unit no matter the total count. This applies to shelter and staging deployments the same as any other event.
No. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires washing facilities to have soap and towels or a hand-drying device. Sanitizer alone does not meet that standard, so pair a sanitizer station with an actual handwashing setup.
Response time depends on scale and access, but standard units can often be delivered same day once headcount and site access are confirmed. Larger deployments with trailers or multiple dumpsters may need a short lead time.
Handwashing stations and portable sinks do not need a water hookup, and light towers or a temporary power pole can cover electrical needs. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) still requires potable water be supplied somewhere on site for workers and responders.
Yes. Bartlett Porta Pros delivers disaster relief sanitation across Bartlett and the surrounding metro, with same-day and next-day drop-off available on most orders.
