How we work
We pick up the phone and listen. Most customers don't know how many porta potties they actually need, and we walk through it. A construction site with 40 workers requires different math than a weekend festival. According to OSHA 1926.51(c)(1), worksites need 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer; 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up to 200. That rule changes your count fast. We deliver standard porta potty rental units that hold 60 to 70 gallons, run about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stand 92 inches tall. For jobs that demand more comfort, deluxe flushable porta potties are cleaner and smell less. If your crew includes workers with mobility limits, ADA accessible porta potties meet the 36 inch minimum clear width required by ADA Standards section 403.5.1.
We service what we rent. A standard unit gets one service visit per week, the baseline interval under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. If your Gary job runs longer than a few days, we pump tanks, empty waste and restock supplies on a fixed schedule so you're never caught short. Emergency calls get answered same day. We've handled festivals, road construction, private events and disaster relief across Gary and into Hobart, Merrillville, Portage and Calumet City.
What we rent
We stock roll-off dumpster rental from 10 to 40 yards for demolition, renovation and landscaping debris. A roll-off needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to drop safely. Storage container rental in 20 and 40 foot lengths works for job site materials, tool storage and temporary office space. Handwashing stations are required where employees apply paints, coatings or herbicides, 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) mandates soap and towels or a hand drying device, and we rent both standalone units and trailer-mounted multi-stall options. Temporary fence rental secures work areas and keeps crowds back from hazards. Restroom trailer rental brings climate-controlled bathrooms to events and large crews; a 2-stall model handles 100 to 150 people per day.
What sets us apart
Gary Porta Pros operates one fleet across one city. That means faster delivery, better maintenance and a dispatcher who knows the roads. We're not a franchise or a broker; we own and service the equipment you rent. If a unit breaks, we fix it. If you need something moved, we handle it. Our office is staffed during business hours and we take calls 24/7 for emergencies. Septic pumping service reaches residential customers in Gary who maintain private tanks; a typical residential septic tank should be pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on tank size and household size. We haul grease interceptors too, pumping them when fats, oils and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth.
FAQs
Do you deliver on weekends?
Yes. Weekend deliveries cost more than weekday rentals because our crew works extra hours. Call for a quote and we'll give you the exact price for your dates.
How quickly can you get a unit to a Gary job site?
Most standard units deploy within 24 hours. Emergencies are prioritized. Call us and we'll confirm availability and a delivery window before you hang up.
What happens if a unit fills up before the next service?
Call us and we pump it same day if we can. For ongoing jobs we increase service frequency at no extra charge if you ask. Overfull tanks damage equipment and create a mess; we prevent both.
Do you serve outside Gary?
We deliver to Hobart (8.5 miles southeast), Merrillville (10.8 miles south), Portage (12.5 miles east), Calumet City (13.0 miles west) and Schererville (13.3 miles southwest). Longer distances add delivery fees. Call with your address and we'll quote you.
Can I rent a restroom trailer for a wedding or festival?
Absolutely. Event restroom rental is a big part of our business. Trailers run climate-controlled, hold water for weeks and fit into tight venues. We handle weddings, concerts, marathons and county fairs. Talk to us about your headcount and layout.
