Standard Porta Potty Rental

A standard porta potty is a single-user, non-flushing portable toilet that AllClean rents for job sites, parties and outdoor events. Call (323) 310-1260 or chat with us, and tell us your dates and address. Same-day delivery is available, and weekly service is part of the rental price.

Standard Porta Potty Features

A standard porta potty has a toilet seat over a sealed holding tank, a urinal and a hand sanitizer dispenser, and it needs no water or power hookup. Every unit we deliver carries the same six basic parts, so you know exactly what shows up at your site:

• A toilet seat over the sealed holding tank
• A built-in urinal
• A toilet paper dispenser
• A hand sanitizer dispenser
• A roof vent pipe for ventilation
• A lockable door with a hands-free latch

Typical dimensions are about 44 inches wide, 48 inches deep and 90 inches tall. Plan a level spot at least that size, with room for the door to swing open.

Standard Porta Potty Tank Capacity

The holding tank in a standard unit typically holds 60 to 70 gallons, which is the usual range across manufacturers. Sources disagree on how many visits that covers, with estimates running from roughly 75 to 200 uses depending on the guide and the crowd.

A busy festival fills a tank faster than a quiet job site. For a job-site crew, one pump-out a week is typical, and busy events can need more. The weekly service visit pumps the tank, cleans the unit and restocks paper and sanitizer, and extra visits are priced in your quote.

Standard Porta Potty Rental Cost

A standard unit rents for $75 to $310 for a one-day event and $129 to $348 for a 28-day rental with weekly servicing, depending on the city. Your quote depends on the rental length, location and number of units. The table lists each city’s range.

Standard unit by city	One-day event	28 days, weekly service
Los Angeles	$75-$190	$153-$240
New York	$192-$250	$140-$295
Chicago	$235-$310	$160-$348
Memphis	$188-$240	$140-$220
Philadelphia	$230-$300	$129-$340

A short event, such as five hours, is usually quoted as a one-day rental. At AllClean, one service visit (pump, clean, restock) per week is included for every week the unit is on site, and extra visits cost more.

Standard Porta Potty Uses

A standard porta potty suits any site that needs a basic, private toilet at a fair price. Most rentals fall into a few groups, from a long job site to a one-day party, and each one needs its own holding tank schedule. Common uses include:

• Construction and renovation job sites
• Weddings and private parties
• Festivals, fairs and races
• Outdoor work crews and community cleanups
• Parks, sports fields and community events

For a long job, see the construction porta potty page. For a crowd, see event porta potty rental.

Standard Porta Potty Placement

Pick a flat, firm spot close to the work or the crowd but clear of walkways. A delivery truck needs about 12 feet of height clearance and a level surface to lower a unit, so check the job site for low branches and wires before the crew arrives.

Keep the area around the door open. A clear path also lets the service crew reach the unit each week to pump out the holding tank and restock the toilet paper dispenser.

Standard Porta Potty Versus Other Units

A standard porta potty covers the basics: a toilet, a urinal and a hand sanitizer dispenser. It does not flush and it has no sink. A deluxe unit adds a flush and a sink, and a hand-wash station adds soap and water.

For crews working on tall buildings, a crane-lift unit is made for upper floors. Call or chat with us to match units to your job.

Standard Porta Potty Quantities

Count by workers on a job site and by guests at an event. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 requires one toilet for a site with 20 or fewer workers. A larger site needs one toilet seat and one urinal for every 40 workers.

For events, one guide plans about one unit per 50 guests for a four-hour event, and the Portable Sanitation Association International (PSAI) special events standard adds 20 to 30 percent when guests drink alcohol or the temperature hits 80 degrees. A separate wedding guide suggests one unit per 25 guests for private parties with drinks.

Add an ADA accessible porta potty when the public attends. Think about a hand-wash station for food areas.
