What does portable toilet rental cost?
Price depends on the unit and how long you keep it. A standard porta potty is the cheapest way to cover a crew or a backyard party, while a deluxe flushable unit and an ADA model cost more. Here is the short version for our most common rentals.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 150 | 200 | 200 |
| ADA accessible | 230 | 185 | - |
| Deluxe flushable | 300 | 250 | - |
| Storage container | - | - | 125 |
Delivery is billed separately. A weekend standard unit runs about 250 dollars for the short-term rate. For the full picture see our porta potty rental cost page, the per-day rates, and the monthly option. Dumpster and trailer pricing sit on their own pages: dumpster cost and restroom trailer cost.
How fast can you deliver?
Fast. Most orders in Winston-Salem land next day when you book by early afternoon. Need it sooner? Emergency porta potty rental moves same-day when a unit is free. Before we roll, clear the drop spot. A roll-off dumpster needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and a toilet needs firm, level ground the driver can reach. ADA Standards section 302.1 asks for a stable, firm and slip resistant surface, which matters most for accessible units. Our placement guide shows the clearances, and it pairs with the permit requirements page if your unit sits near a road. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the City of Winston-Salem, and we name no rule we cannot cite. For disaster response we prioritize. Read how delivery works and the winter guide so cold weather does not slow you down.
Which unit type suits my job?
Four main types, each with a job it does best. The standard portable toilet suits construction and general use. It carries a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank and stands about 92 inches tall, sitting on a footprint roughly 44 by 48 inches. The deluxe flushable unit adds a flush and a sink, which reads better at weddings and corporate events. The ADA accessible unit meets ADA Standards section 304.3.1 with a 60 inch turning circle inside, and section 213.2 says at least 5 percent of clustered units, never fewer than one, must be accessible. For big crowds, step up to a restroom trailer, from a 2-stall to an 8-stall, or a luxury trailer. Some folks still call these porta johns or portable restrooms; same equipment, different name.
How does the service schedule work?
Every rental past a weekend gets serviced. We pump the tank, refill supplies and sanitize. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week as the baseline, and that is where we start most jobsites. Busier sites get more frequent visits. Our page on how often porta potties are cleaned explains the rhythm, and do porta potties smell covers what regular service prevents. If you add a handwashing station, 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a dryer, and hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy it. That is why a portable sink beats a sanitizer stand on many sites. See the handwashing requirements page for the full rule. We also run septic pumping and grease trap pumping on the same routes through Winston-Salem.
How many toilets do I need on a construction site?
OSHA sets the floor. Under 1926.51(c)(1), a construction site needs one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up, and one per 50 workers at 200 or more. That is the count our OSHA requirements page lays out in full, and our how many do I need calculator does the math for you. Water matters too. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) requires an adequate supply of potable water at every worksite, and 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities where crews apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides. Add temporary fencing to secure the area, a storage container for tools, and a mobile office for the trailer. Winston-Salem crews often pair toilets with a construction dumpster and a light tower.
What else can you deliver with the toilets?
Plenty, and it saves you juggling vendors. We run roll-off dumpsters in 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes; the sizes and dimensions page helps you pick, and what cannot go in a dumpster plus weight limits keep you clear of overage fees. We rent 20ft and 40ft storage containers, temporary power poles, chain link fence and crowd control barrier. For septic, we handle tank cleaning, holding tank rental and emergency septic service. A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank and household size; see how often to pump and warning signs.
When should I book for an event?
Sooner than you think, because the good units go first. Events need more toilets than jobs of the same headcount, and event restroom rental covers the ratios. We supply festivals, concerts, marathons and races, golf tournaments and county fairs across Winston-Salem. For upscale gatherings a luxury restroom trailer or 4-stall trailer reads far better than plastic, and a shower trailer suits multi-day setups. Accessible access follows ADA Standards section 404.2.3, which sets a 32 inch minimum clear door opening. Farms and remote sites get agricultural restrooms, and film crews use film set units. Book early through our quote form and read about us first.
