Yes, wherever a truck can reach on firm ground — colonias, ranches and farm roads included. Send a map pin, because rural Hidalgo County addresses often route GPS to the wrong gate, and tell us about caliche roads after rain.
County information: Hidalgo County.
What do Hidalgo County renters book most?
Three seasons drive Hidalgo County orders. October to April brings citrus and vegetable harvest crews that need OSHA 1928.110 field units, plus Winter Texan park events in Mission, Alamo and Weslaco. Spring and fall fill weekends with quinceañeras, bodas and church festivals. Summer is construction season, when 100°F heat means weekly service is the minimum.
| Season | What gets booked | Typical setup |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–Apr | Harvest crews, Winter Texan park events | Field units + handwash, accessible units |
| Mar–May, Sep–Nov | Quinceañeras, weddings, festivals | Deluxe 2-in-1, restroom trailers |
| Jun–Sep | Construction, remodels | Standard units, weekly or twice-weekly service |
Straight answers
Hidalgo County questions
What do farm field crews need?
OSHA 29 CFR 1928.110 requires 1 toilet and 1 handwashing facility for every 20 field workers, within a quarter-mile walk of where they work. The rule applies when 11 or more workers are in the field. A towable unit-plus-sink setup can move with the crew between fields.
Can you deliver to a field down a dirt road?
Yes, if the road is firm. Ranch, farm and campout deliveries are common. Send a map pin, tell us about gates and low spots, and avoid placing the unit where rain collects. After a heavy Valley storm we may wait for the ground to firm up.
Do you rent porta potties by the day?
No — event rentals are priced per event, not per day. Eric Rental Works drops the unit off Friday (or Thursday on busy weekends) and picks it up Monday for the same price as one day. A Saturday birthday or a Sunday carne asada costs the same whether the unit stays one day or four.
Are you a local company or a broker?
Eric Rental Works is a local operator at 1712 Fresno Ave in McAllen with its own units and drivers. When you call, the person on the phone schedules our own truck, quotes the all-in price and can confirm your delivery day on the spot.
Do you serve Winter Texan RV parks and resorts?
Yes. From November through March, Eric Rental Works sets units and handwash stations for RV park events, dances and craft fairs, and runs recurring RV pump-outs. Book season-long service in October before parks fill up.
