How far is Commerce from Farmington Hills?
Commerce sits 12.4 miles northwest of Farmington Hills. The drive from our base takes roughly 24 minutes, which means delivery fees stay reasonable for most jobs. We serve the whole corridor between the two cities, so whether you're staging a construction crew in Commerce or handling an event closer to Farmington Hills, the distance works in your favor on cost.
Check our service areas to see if your exact location qualifies. Some properties near the township line sit on the edge of what we cover, so a quick call saves time. We can also discuss whether a temporary fence rental or storage container makes sense for your project alongside the portable toilet setup.
What size portable toilet do you need for a construction crew?
A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground. Most construction sites in Commerce use one toilet for every 20 workers or fewer, according to OSHA 1926.51(c)(1). That baseline keeps crews compliant and cuts down on wait times during the work day.
If your crew runs larger, you'll need multiples. A 40-person job site needs at least two units. We also rent deluxe flushable porta potties and ADA accessible units if your project requires them. An ADA unit must have a clear route at least 36 inches wide and a door opening no less than 32 inches, per ADA Standards section 403.5.1 and 404.2.3.
Service happens once per week for up to 10 users over a 40-hour week under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the portable sanitation service standard. Busier sites get more frequent visits. We stock handwashing stations too, since 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand drying device, hand sanitizer alone doesn't meet code.
Do I need a permit to place a portable toilet in Commerce?
Placement rules in the public right of way need confirming with Commerce municipal offices. We recommend calling the town before you order to check whether you need a permit and what restrictions apply. Some townships require advance notice; others allow street placement without paperwork as long as the unit sits beyond the curb line.
We work with contractors and homeowners in Commerce regularly and know the common snags. If your project sits on private property, permits usually aren't required. Job sites with public access or those near municipal facilities sometimes face stricter rules. A quick conversation with the town clerk saves delays later.
Farmington Hills Porta Pros handles the logistics once you confirm the local rules. We can also advise on temporary fencing to secure the area around your portable toilet if the site demands it. Many Commerce job sites use both together to keep equipment organized and crews focused.

Can I rent a portable toilet for just one day?
Yes. Daily rates run higher per day than weekly or monthly, but short jobs happen. We deliver, service and pick up all in one rental period. A weekend rental costs more than a weekday one because our crew works Saturday and Sunday on a limited schedule.
How often does the portable toilet get serviced?
Once per week is standard for 10 or fewer users over 40 hours, per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. Busier sites get twice weekly or more. We pump the tank, restock toilet paper and soap, and disinfect the interior on each visit.
What if my Commerce job site needs more than one unit?
We deliver multiple units to the same address at no extra charge per unit. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires one toilet per 20 workers or fewer, so larger crews need multiples. The total rental cost scales with the number of units.
Does Farmington Hills Porta Pros serve Commerce commercial events?
Yes. Weddings, festivals, marathons and corporate events use portable toilets. Event restroom rental in Commerce works the same way as construction: we deliver, service weekly and pick up on your timeline. Check our wedding restroom rental and festival restroom rental pages for details.
What if I need a restroom trailer instead of a portable toilet?
Restroom trailers are bigger and more comfortable than standard units. They're ideal for events, film sets and long-term construction jobs. Commerce sites use trailers when crews stay on site all day and toilets get heavy use. Pricing and dimensions differ from standard units, so call for a quote.
