How much does porta potty rental cost in Richmond?
Price depends on the unit and how long you keep it. A standard porta potty rental is the cheapest option. A deluxe flushable porta potty costs more. A restroom trailer rental sits at the top. Here is the range for a standard unit, pulled from our own pricing.
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $100 | $150 | $350 |
| Week | $130 | $200 | $500 |
| Month | $125 | $200 | $325 |
Weekend rates for a standard unit run about $250. Delivery is billed on top. See the full porta potty rental cost page, or the per-day breakdown, for a closer look. Longer jobs are cheaper by the day on the monthly rental plan. Want a firm number? Request a quote.
What kind of porta potties can I rent?
Plenty. The standard portable toilet is the workhorse, and it is what most construction sites use. It runs about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank. If you want something nicer, a deluxe flushable unit adds a flush and a sink. For an upscale event, a luxury restroom trailer gives you real stalls and running water. We also rent ADA accessible units that meet ADA Standards 304.3.1, which calls for a 60 inch turning circle inside. Some folks call these a porta john or a portable restroom. Same thing, different name. Not sure which fits? Our rental checklist walks you through it, and the placement guide covers where the unit should sit.
How many porta potties do I need?
That depends on headcount and hours. On a construction site, OSHA 1926.51(c) sets one toilet for up to 20 workers, then one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers above that. The OSHA portable toilet requirements page lays out the full table. For events, plan by crowd size and length. A wedding with 150 guests needs more than a small backyard job. Our how many porta potties do I need guide does the math for you. Service matters too. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit a week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, and our cleaning schedule explains what a visit includes. Add a handwashing station if you have food or crews applying coatings. Under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1), washing facilities are required where workers handle paints, herbicides or insecticides.
Do you rent to events and construction sites?
Both, all week. For builders we run full construction site services, which pairs toilets with a roll-off dumpster, temporary fencing and a storage container. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so tell us about tight access. For events we cover festivals, concerts, marathons, golf tournaments and the county fair. Film crews book film set restrooms with us too. We also serve farms and agricultural sites, where OSHA 1928.110 requires a facility within a quarter mile walk of hand-labor crews. Richmond sits close to the towns we cover, so we run trucks out to San Pablo, 1.9 miles northeast, and El Cerrito, 5.5 miles southeast, on the same routes. See every event restroom option or our full service areas.
What else can you bring with the toilets?
A lot, and it saves you a second vendor. We pump septic with our septic pumping service; a residential tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank and household size. Restaurants use our grease trap pumping, where a grease interceptor gets pumped when solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. We drop roll-off dumpsters in 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes, and the dumpster sizes page shows dimensions. We rent temporary fence, crowd control barriers, storage containers and portable sinks. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), washing stations need soap and towels, not just sanitizer. Need it right now? We run emergency porta potty rental and emergency septic service across Richmond.
