Portable Toilet Servicing and Cleaning in Nashville, TN

How often does a unit need a visit?

The interval is set for the site from the expected use and the weather, and it is reviewed after the first week if the use turns out to differ from the plan.

A small number of users on a mild day may need a visit every few days, while a crowd on a hot afternoon may need one mid-day. A site lead who sees a unit filling faster than the schedule expects should ask for a change at once, not at the end of the week.

What does a visit do?

It empties the tank, rinses the unit, restocks the supplies and checks the door, the lock, the vent and the seat. The visit is logged with its time.

The emptied waste goes to a disposal site under the Tennessee hauling rules, and the provider keeps the record of that disposal. Any damage found on the visit is noted for repair, so the next user does not discover it first.

What if a visit is missed?

The site lead calls the provider, which arranges a visit when the route allows, and the missed visit is recorded so the schedule can be reviewed.

Wet drives, parked cars and road work are the usual reasons a visit is lost. A clear route and a phone call when the plan changes prevent most of them.

How does the job type change the visit?

A construction visit is timed around the crew's start and stop, an event visit around the crowd's peak, and a recovery visit around the workers on site.

A visit during a crew's lunch or a crowd's peak is harder to complete, so the provider and the site lead agree a quieter time. The log names the job type on each visit, so the schedule can be checked against the real need.

How is the servicing log used?

The log is the record the site lead reads each week to see whether the schedule is keeping up. It shows the times of each visit, any extra visit and any visit that was missed.

A log that shows a unit visited twice in one day during a festival is information the provider can use to set a better schedule for the next event. A log with a gap is a question the provider should answer.

Keep the log with the rental file, and note any complaint from the crowd or the crew beside the visit it relates to. That makes the next schedule easier to set.

What supplies does a visit replace?

The rental's supplies, which are normally the toilet tissue, the hand sanitizer and the cleaning concentrate, are topped up on each visit. The provider states the list in writing with the quote.

A unit with no tissue is the most common complaint on a busy day, so the supplies are checked before the visit ends and not only when the tank is emptied.

Any supply that the site wants beyond the standard list is agreed with the provider in advance and priced as an extra.
