Portable Restrooms in Greendale, Wisconsin

Why does the county line not settle the rule?

Milwaukee County covers both the city and Greendale, but a village in a county keeps its own offices for events and permits. The county's rules for its own parks and paths are separate from the village's, and the two are asked about separately.

The searches did not confirm how the village or the county handles a portable restroom on public ground, so the question is put to both where the event touches county land.

What does a Greendale order look like?

Most Greendale orders are for a home project, a commercial yard or a crew's gate. The unit is placed on the yard or the drive, serviced on a fixed weekly day, and collected at the end of the job.

A small event, such as a block party or a village fair, uses a few units on the event ground, placed at the edges and serviced around the event's hours.

How does the south-side drive affect the schedule?

The route from the downtown base runs through the south-side suburbs, and the traffic at the start and end of the working day sets the delivery window. A morning delivery is booked with a margin, and an afternoon one is kept clear of the rush.

The servicing visits are scheduled with the same route in mind, so the crew reaches the unit without a long detour.

What does a Greendale job look like on the ground?

Most Greendale work is a home project, a commercial yard or a crew's gate. The unit is placed on the yard or drive, serviced on a fixed weekly day and collected when the job finishes. A commercial yard may need two units, one for the office side and one for the yard crew.

A crew's gate unit is placed where the crew arrives and leaves, clear of the delivery path and the dumpster. The count follows the crew, and the servicing follows the shift.

How is an event on village or county ground handled?

An event on village ground is asked about the village's rules, and an event on county land is asked about the county's. The searches did not confirm either, so both are asked on the first call and the answers are written down.

The plan for either is the same: the expected crowd by hour, a sketch of the ground, the accessible units and the servicing schedule. The office receives the plan with the order.

What should the customer check before ordering?

Check the owner of the spot: the village, the county, a school, a church or a private owner. Each has its own rules and its own office, and the answer changes where the unit can stand.

Check the access, the ground and the delivery day. Check the pickup, which is agreed at delivery. Check the hauler's license, which the state requires and which the crew can show on request.

Working through a Greendale order step by step

Start with the spot. The owner, the access and the ground decide where the unit can stand, and they are confirmed before anything else. A spot that cannot be reached by the truck is changed on the call rather than on the day.

Then set the count and the schedule. A single unit for a home project needs one visit a week; a crew's gate unit needs visits around the shifts; an event needs a count from the crowd and a schedule from the event's hours.

Finish with the paperwork. The order, the placement sketch, the hauler's license and the office's answer on any rule go in one file, so the customer and the crew have the same information.

How an order for Greendale comes together

An order for Greendale starts with the address and the reason for the unit. The first call confirms the owner of the spot in Milwaukee County, whether the ground is public or private, and the delivery day. Nothing is booked for Greendale until the spot is agreed.

The site check for Greendale looks at the access from the road, the level and firmness of the ground and any obstacle that would stop the truck. Where a base or a board is needed in Greendale, it is agreed and priced before the unit is ordered, and the spot is written on the order.

Once the spot is confirmed, the delivery day, the servicing days and the pickup for Greendale go on the same order. A single sheet with those points is the document the crew and the customer both work from.

Servicing and the record in Greendale

A unit in Greendale is serviced on a schedule written for its use. A quiet yard is visited weekly, and a busy site or event unit is visited more often, with extra visits added when the crowd or the crew is larger than planned.

Heat speeds the fill and the smell, so a unit in Greendale in a warm spell is checked sooner than the schedule says, and the customer can ask for a visit by calling the number on the order.

Every visit in Greendale is written into the record: the unit, the time, the work done and any fault found. The record stays with the order and is given to the customer at the end of the rental.
