Portable Restroom Trailers

When a disaster strikes, you can count on America to step up and help its fellow citizens. From thousands of volunteers who choose to go out and help those in need for free to those who make it a career to protect, serve, and save, this country knows how to unite when facing a crisis. We support our troops with portable restroom rentals and shower trailer rentals for Hurricane Florence. In September of 2018, hundreds of communities were affected by Hurricane Florence. The devastation it caused was not anticipated, and many families and businesses found themselves with very little to come home to. Many struggled to evacuate in time, and sadly, lives were lost. Despite the devastation, hope was not lost. As organizations arrived to help those in need, heroic stories circled the internet, highlighting people who saved animals from drowning, rescued stranded families, and helped to provide shelter for those who had lost everything. While volunteers may temporarily throw themselves into the chaos to aid with disaster relief, there are many who do it for a living. As always, the military was onsite to help citizens in need during the hurricane. They choose to put their lives at risk daily to protect those who need it. When they reached out with a need for a portable restroom rental, we were happy to step up and partner with them.   HEROES AT WORK Of the many communities that were affected by Hurricane Florence, some suffered far more than others. The city of Fayetteville was somewhat unprepared for the damage they would see. When the hurricane initially hit, it seemed as if they aftermath would be mild, but they soon found out differently. Hurricane Florence hit the city, with winds of up to 50 mph. Trees fell and 15 inches of rain were left behind, Then as it passed, left rivers steady riding and the impending threat of severe flooding rose. As recovery efforts began, the military set up temporary bases throughout the area, including in the city of Fayetteville. They began aiding those who had evacuated and hoped to return, those who needed aid, and more. The troops worked tirelessly to not only get those in danger to safety, but to ensure that those rescued felt a sense of safety and security once they were assisted. While the troops were hard at work, they may not have thought about those basic amenities needed to live day to day comfortably. Long hours on search and rescue missions, wading through flooding, and other strenuous jobs took their toll. Fortunately they thought of us as a quick, temporary portable restroom rental solution, and we were eager to make sure that our soldiers were well taken care of.   PORTABLE RESTROOM RENTAL SOLUTION FOR OUR TROOPS Knowing that we not only needed to provide a reliable restroom option for our troops, but also wanted to make them feel appreciated for their service, we recommended the upscale 6 Station Portable Restroom Rental, Comfort Cabo Series.

These strips can easily increase or decrease the temperature of the unit when necessary, ensuring that guests have a comfortable experience.

Fortunately, we at Portable Restroom Trailers have a wide variety of trailer rental options, including shower rentals. For our troops, we recommended the Commercial Grade Portable Shower Trailer for Rent. This large rental is prepared for high volume use.

A company that takes time to value its employees is one that knows how to succeed long term. In the past 20 years, we have seen revolutionary changes in the workplace. Time off is more encouraged, office environment feels more like a second home, and companies are more willing to be concerned with the mental health of their employees, ensuring they live a full life outside of the workplace. Portable restroom rentals provide much support needed in hurricane relief for one special fourth generation fish company on the east coast. With the various perks that companies offer today, like office snacks, nap nooks, and even office games, it is important to remember to think about basic amenities. Free snacks will bring joy to almost anyone, but that perk could be ruined by something like an out-of-date or damaged restroom. ACME Smoked Fish has been in business since 1905 and have learned a thing or two about employee care. They recently realized their need for a restroom upgrade and contacted us for a portable restroom rental solution during renovations after the effects of Hurricane Florence. A FAMILY TRADITION OF QUALITY Back in the year 1905, an immigrant named Harry Brownstein arrived in Brooklyn from Russia. He decided to start selling smoked fish to the local stores by horse and carriage, and this business proved to be a profitable one. Demand for Harry’s smoked fish steadily grew through the years, and by 1937, he partnered with Mike Seltzerman to open a smoked fish company in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn. True to its small business roots, the family came together to help the business thrive. A fish smoker named Rubin started working for the company and fell in love with Harry’s daughter. They married, and when Harry’s sons left the Army, they joined the team as well. Once they learned the business well, the family decided to branch out and open their own company. In 1954, ACME was branded, Harry chose the name Acme not only for its literal translation of “best in the business,” but also so it could be listed first alphabetically in the phone book. There business continued to see plenty of success, adding the pickled herring to the production list in 1965, and securing Big Apple and Bohack Supermarkets as their first supermarket chain customers in 1968. In 1969, Harry passes away, but not without leaving a proud legacy of family and business behind. His sons spearheaded the company and continued to see growth and success as the years passed. As the third generation graduated from college, they joined the family team beginning in 1970. The company flourishes and grows, and soon has to acquire the building beside it to support production. By the early 1980s, ACME was changing the game with vacuum pack technology and different flavors of salmon. Over the next couple decades, the company welcomed a brand refresh and new logo, increases sales nationwide, and welcomes the fourth generation of family members into the fold. By late 2000, a west coast office is established in Los Angeles to service the growing demand of smoked fish on that side of the country. New brands are revealed that live under the ACME company umbrella, like Blue Hill Bay and Ruby Bay Smoked Seafood. Today, the business continues to thrive and could be considered by most to be an American Dream success story. The family should be proud of what they’ve built and the quality product they continue to sell. A PORTABLE RESTROOM RENTAL SOLUTION With over a century of experience under their belt, ACME knows how to care for its employees. When Hurricane Florence hit and bathrooms were deemed unusable, the quickly sought out a solution so that employees could continue working. When they described their need, we had a perfect portable restroom rental solution.

Each stall of the women’s suite has a flushing china toilet that flushes with the step of a pedal. The suite is equipped with a double sink vanity, shatterproof mirror, and a paper towel dispenser for a full and upscale restroom experience.

WE HELP WITH PORTABLE RESTROOM RENTALS While portable restroom rentals aren’t the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about disaster relief, they make a huge impact. First, they allow organizations to properly provide for volunteers and staff. Some of these programs have lost their buildings in the floods, and they work out of temporary buildings to provide the aid needed. While volunteers do not expect a glamorous experience while out in the field, they are at least provided with a clean, comfortable environment when using our portable restroom rentals. We can also provide staff with break room trailers, a rental idea thought up by one of our previous business partners. With all the work they do, from walking through high waters in search of missing persons to saving abandoned animals from drowning, they deserve a peaceful place to rest and recover. Shower trailer rentals are also an option, allowing staff and volunteers a chance to get clean and comfortable after their hours of hard work. These amenities are also very useful for providing aid to who lost their homes or can’t access them. Some families come to organizations and have lost everything - while it may not be on their minds, the ability to use a clean restroom, shower, and even do laundry are amenities that can bring comfort.

As the East Coast gets ready to face a huge storm during this hurricane season, families prepare to survive the storm and, in some extreme cases, evacuate. While we’ve faced many similar storms in the past all over the US, some aren’t sure of the measures it takes to be truly prepared for a storm of this magnitude. We are ready to deliver restroom rentals, shower trailers, and laundry trailers for storm clean-up and recovery.We want to take the time to share the importance of planning ahead and being ready for storms of this nature to hit. Our heart goes out to those who are affected, and we are ready to supply restroom rentals to the organizations who aid in hurricane relief.As you or members of your family or friend group prepare for the storm to come, make sure you are as ready as possible with these tips from leading references. Know Your Hurricane Risk - Depending on where you live, your risk may be very high or very low. While it may seem obvious which category you fall in, you’d be surprised how much inland dwellers are affected by a storm that seemingly happens only near the coast. For those living on the coast, you are high risk. Depending on the intensity of the hurricane to come, you should have an evacuation plan prepared. You are most at risk for extreme winds and flooding, and surge thunderstorms. For those living inland, HurricaneScience.org reports that coastal flooding can reach tens of miles from the coast. Those living within 75-100 miles from the coast should prepare for an increase in winds and rain. Sign up to get alerts and warnings in your area.  Know Your Evacuation Zone - For those located in high risk areas, flooding is very destructive and driving in flooded areas can be dangerous. We recommend having an evacuation plan in order so that when you are warned by your local officials, you can head to safety. Make sure you have an evacuation plan. Keep your car’s gas tank at half full at all times and have any necessary items packed and ready to go. For those who rely on public transportation, contact your local emergency management agency for an evacuation plan. For those living in mid- to low-risk areas, you should still be prepared for extreme weather. Track the storm and listen to local officials as they determine how far inland the storm will travel, and be prepared to take extra precautions against high winds and rain. When you have been instructed to evacuate, please do so for the safety of yourself and your family. Review and create an evacuation plan if necessary.  Prepare Financially - The hardest thing about evacuating can be lack of funds. The Federal Reserve has reported that almost 60 percent of Americans don’t have $400 in savings. Make sure that you aren’t trapped during a hurricane by putting aside a little bit of each paycheck. These funds can ensure that you and your family are ready to go should an evacuation be necessary. Read more tips on financial preparedness. For businesses, purchase business-interruption insurance policies to help protect against losses due to damage.  Strengthen Your Home - Whether you are evacuating or simply need to stay home for shelter, wind and thunderstorms can take a toll on your home. Make sure that the structure of your home is prepared for the intense weather conditions by taking a few precautions. Bring in outdoor furniture or large items that may be tossed by the wind. Trim trees and shrubs to ensure that greenery isn’t blown around, becoming capable of damaging your home. Take measures to reinforce your roof, windows, and doors, and use flood damage resistant materials. Should you need to evacuate, these additional steps could allow you to come home to minimal damage.  Stock Up on Supplies - There are so many supplies that you can get beforehand to ensure that you aren’t caught in the chaos before evacuation time or during times when shelter is required. Think ahead and stock up on key items before it becomes urgent. ATMs and credit cards may not work during power outages, so take out some cash to have on hand for purchases. Stock an emergency kit with a battery operated radio, flashlights, non-perishable food, entertainment for children if necessary, bottled water, and blankets. Keep in mind that should you need to stay in your home for safety, this is all you have to rely on. Visit ready.gov/kit for a thorough list of items to stock up on should you need to take shelter for a long period of time. WE CAN HELPAs leading provider of restroom rentals, we are here to help those in need.

As our fellow Americans on the east coast prepare for Hurricane Florence, Portable Restroom Trailers is ready to deliver restroom rentals, shower trailers, and laundry trailers. As the industry expert in mobile disaster relief facilities, we have the largest inventory ready for distribution to the Southeast Region. RESTROOM RENTAL EXPERIENCE MATTERS Portable Restroom Trailers is an Industry leader in portable disaster relief facilities. We have assisted schools, municipalities, military facilities, and corporate locations in the last 10 years in disastrous storms, such as, Hurricane Sandy, Hurricane Matthew, Hurricane Isaac, Hurricane Irma, and Hurricane Harvey. With the experience and breath of inventory of restroom rentals, shower trailers, and laundry trailers, we deliver the perfect unit quickly to help with cleanup and rebuilding efforts. The most obvious solution PRT can provide is clean, sanitary restroom facilities.  Our commercial trailers are built to withstand intensive use and high foot traffic, making them a perfect fit for a disaster response effort.  But this is only one of the critical services that PRT offers. In the wake of a major storm surge, the flood water that is left behind can be rife with bacteria and other germs – posing a serious health risk for anyone in the area.  Our mobile shower trailers provide a way for those onsite to keep themselves clean and healthy while they work to repair the damage left behind by major storms.  In the worst scenarios, our decontamination trailers offer a controlled environment where responders can sanitize their bodies and equipment after exposure to hazardous materials and germs. Our commercial grade laundry trailers help keep first responders clean, comfortable, and sanitary with up to fourteen stacking washer/dryer combination units.  These trailers include folding tables and oversized utility sinks – everything you would expect to find at a traditional laundromat. THE LONG WEEKEND AHEAD At the time of this writing, Florence is expected to hit the Carolina coast Thursday night as a Category 4 hurricane.  She has the potential to produce winds up to 145 miles per hour, with storm surges up to twelve feet.  Areas near the eye of the storm may receive up to thirty-five inches of rain, and power outages are likely throughout the coast of the Carolina's. Like Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Florence is predicted to stall over the coast of the Carolina's, dumping 30+ inches of rainfall in just a few days. We are prepared to support this area with necessary facilities after the storm subsides. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the people who live and work on the Carolina coast.  We hope that everyone in the area is able to finish their preparations and find safe harbor before the storm hits.  We will be waiting nearby to move in with our response equipment as soon as the storm clears. For Disaster Relief Restroom Rentals call us at 1- 877-600-8645. Thanks!
