Everything You Should Know About December
Why December’s Not the 10th Month
December is the 12th month (and last month) in our modern-day Gregorian calendar (as it was in the preceding Julian calendar).
However, it was initially the 10th month of the Roman calendar (until 153 BC). Hence, “December” comes from the Latin decem, meaning “ten.”
In Roman times, the calendar only had ten months and began with March! The winter period was not even assigned months because it was not an active time for military, agriculture, or civil life.
The month of December originally consisted of 30 days. After January and February were added to the calendar (around 700 BCE), December was shortened to 29 days. Then, two days were added to December in the subsequent Julian calendar, making it 31 days long.

Portable Sanitation Rental
Always be Prepared
Have you ever rented a portable bathroom only to have it dropped off and serviced when ever THEY get to it? We have a strict policy of discussing the level of service that each customer needs and meeting or exceeding their expectations. With larger events sometimes service is needed everyday. At some constructions sites there are times where you have an extra crew for 2 weeks and just need an extra service per week for awhile but don't want to rent extra bathrooms. And sometimes you rent a toilet for a hunting cabin and don't use it much so you only need service every 2 weeks. With standard, ADA and trailered bathrooms along with garbage's, sinks, and hand sanitizing stations available, we can accommodate any and all scenarios.
