A one day porta potty rental in Portland runs $100 to $350 for a standard unit, with most jobs landing around $150. That range covers delivery and pickup on the same trip. Weekend and weekly rates drop the per-day cost, so a single day is the most expensive way to rent, dollar for dollar.
The daily rate depends on unit type, how far the truck has to travel, and how fast you need it there. A standard portable toilet is the cheapest option per day. Add a hand sanitizer or a proper handwashing station rental and the price moves up, since OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) requires potable water at every job site regardless of unit count. If your crew is spraying paint, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, 1926.51(f)(1) kicks in and washing facilities aren't optional. Portland job sites inside city limits pay the same base rates as sites out toward Milwaukie, 8.3 miles south, or Lake Oswego, 12.5 miles south. Distance matters more once you're past the standard service radius, where a delivery fee gets added on top. Portland Porta Pros builds that fee into the quote up front so there's no surprise on invoice day. For anything beyond a single unit, check how many porta potties do I need before you call, since OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the ratio at one toilet per 20 construction workers.
| unit | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | $100 - $350 | $130 - $500 | $125 - $325 |
| ada | $200 - $400 | $200 - $400 | - |
| deluxe | $85 - $1200 | $150 - $290 | - |
A $100 day and a $350 day can both be real quotes, just for different jobs. Same day delivery costs more than a booking made a week out. A single unit dropped for a birthday party in someone's backyard costs less to service than a construction site that needs the tank pumped mid-week. Unit type matters too. A deluxe flushable porta potty with a foot pump and a real sink sits well above a basic unit on price, and an ADA accessible porta potty has its own bracket because it has to meet ADA Standards 304.3.1, a 60 inch turning circle inside the unit. Every standard unit we deliver carries a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank and stands about 92 inches tall, so the truck and the crew loading it need the same clearance no matter what you're paying. If you're comparing options for a longer job, the monthly porta potty rental page breaks down where the daily rate stops making sense.
Yes, for anything that starts and ends the same day. A garage sale, a one day estate cleanout, a small backyard gathering. Weekend events like a Saturday wedding usually book under the weekend rate instead of a straight daily rate, and that weekend pricing for a standard unit typically lands in the $125 to $400 range depending on how many units and how far out you are. If your event runs Friday through Sunday, ask about the weekend bracket before you get quoted three separate daily rates. For anything that runs longer than a weekend, a porta potty rental per day quote stops being the cheapest math and a week or month rate takes over. Contractors doing home renovation work in Portland often start with a one day rental for a demo day, then extend once they see the job is running long. That flexibility is one advantage of daily pricing: you're never locked into a month you didn't need.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the City of Portland before delivery, since permit rules vary by location and were not verified for this page. If the unit sits entirely on private property, that step usually isn't needed, but sidewalks, curb lanes and street parking are a different question. Check porta potty permit requirements and the placement guide before delivery day, especially if you're setting up near Raleigh Hills, 8.9 miles southwest, or anywhere along a public sidewalk. A construction site pulling its own building permit usually has sanitation requirements folded into that same approval, which is worth checking against OSHA portable toilet requirements and dumpster permit requirements if you're also renting a roll-off. Getting this confirmed before delivery saves a reschedule.
Beyond toilets, one day jobs sometimes need more than a single unit type. A demo day might call for a 10 yard dumpster rental alongside the toilet, or temporary fence rental to keep the site secured overnight. Event organizers renting for a single day often add a restroom trailer rental instead of standard units when guest count is high, though trailer day rates sit in a much higher bracket. For a straightforward job site, most contractors just need the portable toilet rental and nothing else.
Standard units in Portland run $100 to $350 per day, with most orders around $150. The exact number depends on how far the delivery truck travels and how fast you need the unit on site. Same day requests usually sit at the higher end of that range.
Delivery, pickup and one unit for the day, with the tank already serviced. It does not include ongoing weekly service, since that only applies to multi-week rentals. Ask about adding a portable sink rental if handwashing matters for your event.
Not usually. Weekend rates cover Friday through Sunday for one flat price, often less per day than booking three separate single days. If your event spans more than one day, ask for the weekend rate before accepting a daily quote.
Sometimes, depending on truck availability that day. Same day requests typically land at the higher end of the daily price range. Call ahead rather than assuming a slot is open, especially during busy event season.
It depends on crew size. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the standard at one toilet per 20 workers on site for the full shift. Use the how many porta potties do I need guide to check your actual headcount.
