How far is Murphy from Garland and what's the delivery cost?
Murphy lies 8.1 miles north of Garland. The extra distance adds a delivery fee of $100 to $150 per trip for Garland Porta Pros to bring units out there and set them back. Whether you're renting a standard porta potty or a deluxe flushable unit, that delivery charge applies once per rental, not per unit. A weekend delivery runs higher than a weekday one because of scheduling. Check our service areas page to confirm your exact Murphy address; some far edges may require phone confirmation.
Many Murphy jobsites sit in the retail belt north of Ridgetop Drive or the industrial park south of Arapaho Road. If your project straddles county lines, placement rules can shift. Garland Porta Pros confirms the drop spot with you before the rental starts. Permits for dumpsters and portable toilets in Murphy may differ from Garland rules, so we recommend you contact the city directly to learn what paperwork your site needs.
What size portable toilet do I need for my crew?
OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer; one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up; one toilet seat and one urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. A single standard portable toilet holds 60 to 70 gallons and stands about 92 inches tall, roughly 44 by 48 inches on the ground. That works for crews of 10 to 20 people for a typical 40 hour week if you get service weekly.
Larger crews need multiple units or a restroom trailer. A 2 stall or 4 stall restroom trailer moves fast from Garland up to Murphy and handles more traffic than portable toilets alone. Trailers cost more upfront but save service trips on big sites. An ADA accessible portable toilet takes up extra space, plan for about 60 inches of clear diameter around it per ADA Standards section 304.3.1, and it counts as one of your required units. If you're uncertain, call us with your headcount and shift length and we'll spec the right gear.
What other site equipment does Garland Porta Pros rent in Murphy?
Beyond toilets, we rent roll-off dumpsters in 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes for debris and construction waste. A 10 yard dumpster handles a small remodel; larger jobs need 20 or 30 yards. Septic pumping service is available if your Murphy property has a tank. A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. Temporary fencing protects material stockpiles and keeps crew areas secure. Handwashing stations are required on sites where employees handle paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides per OSHA 1926.51(f)(1), and 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) mandates soap and towels or a hand drying device. Storage containers give you 20 or 40 feet of lockable space for tools and materials. Most Murphy jobs call for a toilet, dumpster and fencing; we bundle pricing on requests. See construction site services for a full rundown of what we can deliver to your site north of Garland.
How often do porta potties get serviced in Murphy?
Weekly service is the standard interval. We pump the tank, restock supplies and sanitize the interior once a week. Larger crews or high traffic events may need twice weekly visits. Murphy sites get the same schedule as Garland locations; distance doesn't change the cadence. Call with your rental dates and we'll lock in the service calendar.
Do I need a permit to place a porta potty in Murphy?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. Private property, a job site, parking lot or backyard, usually doesn't require a permit. We recommend you ask Murphy's planning or public works department about your specific address before you sign a contract. Garland Porta Pros will work with whatever rules they name.
Can a standard porta potty handle a 40 person event?
No. Forty people at a 4 hour event need at least 2 standard units. A single 60 to 70 gallon toilet fills up fast with that volume. A deluxe flushable unit or small restroom trailer spreads the load better. For festival or event restroom rental, we size the count based on expected attendance and event length.
What happens if a portable toilet overflows?
We pump before that happens. Weekly service prevents overflow. If a tank does back up between visits, call us immediately and we'll send an emergency pump truck. That's not a normal charge; it's a service failure and we fix it at no extra cost to you.
How do I order a porta potty for my Murphy job?
Call or email Garland Porta Pros with your site address, start date, rental duration, and crew size or event headcount. We'll quote delivery to Murphy, weekly service, and any extra units or equipment. Payment is due before drop-off. Cancellations more than 7 days out get a full refund; closer cancellations forfeit the deposit.
