Standard porta potty
$125 to $250 a weekend
What does Matthews need for a porta potty placement?
Matthews doesn't publish its own sign ordinances online. Right-of-way placement, on a street or in a public sidewalk, needs a permit from Charlotte's Department of Transportation even though you're renting in Matthews. Charlotte's Right-of-Way Use Permit Program requires 48 hours notice minimum for lane closures and 10 working days for full street closure requests. The permit application goes through Charlotte's online portal. If your porta potty sits on private property, you're clear of that rule. Placement on school grounds, parking lots and construction sites almost always works. Call the Matthews Police Department non-emergency line if you're unsure whether your site counts as public right-of-way.
How many porta potties does a Matthews job site need?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the count. For 20 workers or fewer, you need 1 toilet facility. Add 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 to 200 workers. At 200 or more, you need 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground. Charlotte Porta Pros services weekly as baseline, though you can pick daily, event or monthly rentals depending on how fast your crew fills the tank. Matthews contractors often run weekly service through the whole job.
Can I rent a deluxe or ADA unit in Matthews?
Yes. Charlotte Porta Pros stocks deluxe flushable porta potties and ADA accessible units for Matthews jobs. ADA units meet ADA Standards section 213.2, which requires at least 5 percent of any cluster to be accessible, never fewer than one. A 36 inch clear width entrance (ADA Standards section 403.5.1) and 32 inch door opening (ADA Standards section 404.2.3) let wheelchair users approach and enter. Deluxe models cost more than standard but skip the chemical smell and include flushing water and a hand sanitizer dispenser. Delivery fees to Matthews run 50 to 150 dollars per week, the same as Charlotte, because the drive time is short. Request a quote with your site address and we'll confirm the exact cost and confirm with Matthews whether your spot needs a permit.
What about handwashing and restroom trailers in Matthews?
Construction sites applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides must have washing facilities under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1). 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) says those facilities need soap and towels or a hand drying device. A portable sink won't satisfy it, you need actual handwashing station rental with running water. Charlotte Porta Pros delivers restroom trailers with full plumbing, heat, air and flushing toilets if your Matthews job runs long or needs comfort. Trailers cost more than porta potties but handle crews over 50 people better. Matthews venues like town parks and the Matthews Community Center sometimes host events that need restroom capacity beyond what fixed facilities provide, that's where trailers shine. Call us with your job details and we'll quote trailer rental against standard units.
Do I need septic pumping service in Matthews?
Residential septic tanks should pump every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. If you're building a home or doing renovation in Matthews, the general contractor typically arranges septic pumping service. Matthews itself sits in Mecklenburg County's service area. North Carolina's Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Waste Management, Solid Waste Section, Septage Management Program regulates septage firms. Any company pumping septic tanks must hold a permit from the state before starting work. Local health departments handle septic system installation permits, not the state. Charlotte Porta Pros can pump your tank if you're building or have an emergency. Service areas covers our reach.
Why does Matthews charge different prices than Charlotte?
It doesn't. Matthews is close enough to Charlotte, 12.2 miles southeast, that delivery time stays short and fuel cost flat. A weekly standard unit runs the same 130 to 500 dollar range whether you're on Mint Street in Matthews or in uptown Charlotte. The drive time is about 20 minutes.
Can I put a porta potty on the street in Matthews?
Not without a Charlotte Department of Transportation Right-of-Way Use Permit. Even though Matthews is its own town, the state road network and the municipal street network sometimes overlap jurisdiction. Before we deliver, you submit the permit request yourself through Charlotte's online portal (48 hours minimum). Private property, a parking lot, construction site, or driveway, doesn't need it.
Does Charlotte Porta Pros service Matthews on weekends?
Yes. Weekend service runs Saturday and Sunday. Call us to lock in a weekend rate, which is higher than the weekly rate because the crew schedules differently. Most Matthews jobs book Monday through Friday service.
What size dumpster do I need in Matthews?
That depends on your debris type and job length. Roll-off dumpster rental comes in 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes. A 10 yard dumpster holds small kitchen remodel debris. 30 yard dumpster fits major demolition. Matthews has the same landfill access as Charlotte. Call with photos of your scrap pile and we'll quote the size.
How do I contact Charlotte Porta Pros to rent in Matthews?
Contact us with your site address, job type and dates. We'll confirm Matthews permit rules if you need right-of-way placement, quote delivery and service, and schedule. Most Matthews jobs book within 48 hours.
