How do I rent a porta potty in Alexandria, LA?

Portable restrooms are usually the simplest part of a Alexandria project to get right, provided the count and the service frequency are set correctly at the start. A Rapides provider will set both on the call.

Job sites follow OSHA. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 requires 1 unit for up to 20 workers, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 to 199 workers, and 1 per 50 workers at 200 or more. Hand washing has to be available where the work involves contaminants.
Job sites are counted by peak crew, not by project headcount. A Alexandria site running 60 workers during framing and 12 during fit out needs provision sized for 60 while that phase lasts.
Access is what makes servicing fail, not the schedule. The truck needs to get within about 25 feet, and a unit blocked on the service day normally still counts as a billed visit.
What should you plan for in Alexandria?
Set units on firm, level ground in Alexandria. Soft or sloping ground lets a unit settle or tip, and a gravel pad or a sheet of plywood under the base solves it cheaply.
Keep about 5 by 5 feet clear per unit and leave the approach for the service truck open. Both matter for the whole rental rather than just the delivery day.
Flag gate codes, restricted hours and soft ground when you book. All three are workable at Alexandria sites with notice and all three cause a failed visit without it.
Hand sanitiser in a standard unit is useful but is not the same provision as a sink. Where Alexandria work involves contaminants, the station is what the rule asks for.

Alexandria porta potty questions
Are the units cleaned before delivery?
Yes. Units are cleaned, restocked and deodorised at the yard before they go out, so the first use is on a fresh unit.
What happens at the end of the rental?
The provider collects the units on the agreed date. For long term job site rentals, just call when the project finishes and they schedule the pickup.
What happens in freezing weather?
Providers add antifreeze to the holding tank and may adjust the servicing schedule. Keep a cleared path so the service truck can still reach the unit.
Do I need a permit for a porta potty in Alexandria?
Not on private property in almost all cases. Public events and anything placed on a street or sidewalk may need a city permit that covers restroom provision.
What is included in a service visit?
The tank is pumped, the unit is washed down, the paper is restocked and deodoriser is added. Any damage is noted and reported.
