Understanding Porta Potty Rental Costs
Portable toilet rental prices depend on many factors, but understanding the basics will help you budget accurately for your event or job site. Most providers charge the same rate for daily and weekly rentals (1-7 days), with monthly rates offering better value for longer-term needs.
Standard vs. Luxury Units
Standard porta potties are the most affordable option, typically running $125-$195 for daily/weekly rental or $175-$400 per month. These include basic amenities like toilet paper and hand sanitizer. Luxury restroom trailers with climate control, flushing toilets, and running water cost significantly more ($1,200-$2,000 per week) but provide a much better guest experience for weddings and upscale events.
Hidden Costs to Watch For
Always ask about delivery fees, pickup fees, and servicing frequency. Some providers include delivery within a certain radius, while others charge $50-$150 or more. Rush deliveries (same-day or next-day) typically cost extra. For multi-day events, confirm whether daily servicing is included or extra.
OSHA Requirements for Construction Sites
Construction sites must comply with OSHA regulations for portable toilets. The number required depends on the number of workers: 1 toilet for up to 20 workers, 2 for 20-35 workers, and so on. Failing to provide adequate facilities can result in fines.
