What We Do
Ellicott City Porta Pros operates as a single-city specialist. That focus means we know the roads, the permit landscape and the seasonal conditions that affect rental timing. Our core business is portable toilet rental, from basic standard porta potty rental units through deluxe flushable options to ADA accessible units that meet ADA Standards section 213.2 requiring 5 percent of clustered units to be accessible, with a minimum clear door opening width of 32 inches per ADA Standards section 404.2.3. We operate roll-off dumpster rental for construction debris and renovation waste, with roll-off delivery requiring about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck. Septic tank pumping runs on residential schedules, typically every 3 to 5 years depending on tank size and household size. We also handle storage container rental, temporary fence rental and handwashing station rental.
How We Work in Ellicott City
We dispatch from Ellicott City and serve the immediate region. Nearby towns include Catonsville at 6.4 miles east, Woodlawn at 6.9 miles northeast, Columbia at 7.4 miles south, Ilchester at 9.2 miles southeast and Milford Mill at 12.6 miles northeast. For construction sites, OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets toilet facility ratios based on crew size: 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up, and 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and sits roughly 44 by 48 inches on the ground, standing about 92 inches tall. Events need more planning. Our event restroom rental covers weddings, festivals and concerts. We also provide emergency porta potty rental when urgent situations arise.
Why Ellicott City Businesses Choose Us
Ellicott City Porta Pros exists because specialized service beats generic coverage. We answer calls fast because we're local. We know which sites need permits and which don't. We stock enough units that a weekend event doesn't strip inventory from Monday construction jobs. Our restroom trailer rental for larger projects runs alongside basic units, so you scale up without starting over with a different vendor. Handwashing is required where employees apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides per OSHA 1926.51(f)(1), and hand washing facilities shall be provided with soap and with towels or a hand drying device, not just hand sanitizer, per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2). We can place that equipment right where the work happens. For grease trap pumping, we service commercial kitchens and restaurants; a grease interceptor is pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth.

Do you service areas outside Ellicott City?
Yes. We operate across Howard County and into neighboring regions. Check our service areas page or call to confirm your location.
What's the difference between a standard unit and a deluxe one?
Standard units are basic, single-occupant portable toilets. Deluxe units have a flush mechanism, antimicrobial hand soap and a hand sanitizer dispenser. Both are emptied weekly under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline service intervals for up to 10 users over a 40-hour week.
Can I rent a porta potty for just one day?
Yes. Daily porta potty rental works for events, emergency situations and short jobs. Weekend rates are higher than weekday rates because demand is concentrated.
Do you deliver dumpsters and portable toilets to the same site?
Absolutely. Many construction projects need both. A single call handles construction site services from toilets to dumpsters to fencing to storage.
