A standard porta potty rental in Portland runs 100 to 350 dollars a day, with most jobs landing closer to 150. It's the basic unit contractors and party planners reach for first: no sink, no flush, just a reliable single-stall toilet that gets serviced and gone when the job wraps.
It's the plain, no-frills unit you picture when someone says "porta potty." Portland Porta Pros builds every standard porta potty rental around a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank, which covers a steady crew without a mid-week pump-out on most short jobs. The standard porta potty dimensions run about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and roughly 92 inches tall, so it fits tight yard corners, alleyway staging, and driveway strips without eating the whole lot. There's a hand sanitizer dispenser, toilet paper, and a vented tank to cut odor between services. If you want a flush handle and a sink built in, that's the deluxe flushable porta potty instead, and if someone on site needs a wider door and grab bars, look at the ADA accessible porta potty. Most Portland renters just need the basic unit, though, whether it's a backyard remodel, a construction fence line, or a weekend block party. We service units on a routine rotation loosely tied to the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 industry baseline of one visit a week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour stretch, then tighten that schedule for bigger crews or event weekends.
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | $100 | $150 | $350 |
| weekend | $125 | $250 | $400 |
| week | $130 | $200 | $500 |
| month | $125 | $200 | $325 |
Standard porta potty rental prices climb with duration but not evenly, since a weekend rate often beats a plain day rate once you factor in delivery. Most delivery fees land between 50 and 500 dollars depending on drop distance and access, and that's usually the biggest swing factor for a basic porta potty rental cost, not the unit itself. A single unit for a weekend wedding in Portland might run near the weekend figure above, while a construction crew renting for a month gets a flatter monthly rate instead of paying by the week four times over. For the full cost breakdown by job type, see our porta potty rental cost guide, or check porta potty rental per day pricing if you only need it for a single event. Longer builds should look at monthly porta potty rental instead, since per-day math stops making sense past a couple weeks.
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline for construction sites: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one seat and one urinal per 40 workers once you cross that threshold, scaling again at 200 or more. A crew of 15 framing a house in Milwaukie, 8.3 miles south of Portland, needs just one standard unit under that rule. A 60-person job site downtown needs two or three, plus a look at handwashing setup, since actual paint, coatings, herbicide or insecticide work triggers washing facilities under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) separately from the toilet count itself. Our how many porta potties do I need page walks through the math for events too, where headcount and hours matter more than worker counts. If your job also touches food prep or ag labor crews, OSHA 1928.110 sets its own toilet and water rules for hand-labor employees, capped at a quarter mile walk to the nearest facility. We also run full OSHA portable toilet requirements breakdowns if your GC is asking for documentation.
Placement in the public right of way in Portland needs confirming with the city before delivery day, so check with the relevant department rather than guessing. Beyond that, we need roughly 60 feet of straight clearance behind our truck for anything resembling a roll-off-style drop, and standard units want stable, firm, slip-resistant ground per ADA Standards 302.1 if accessibility matters on your site. Jobs in Lake Oswego, 12.5 miles south, or out toward Hillsboro, 17.8 miles west, still fall inside our delivery zone, and our service areas page lists every town we reach around Portland. Our porta potty placement guide covers slope, clearance, and servicing access in more depth. For fenced construction zones, pair the unit with temporary fence rental so it stays secured between shifts, and if you're staging a big renovation, our home renovation porta potty page walks through typical placement for driveway and yard jobs specifically.
A basic porta potty rental cost in Portland runs 100 to 350 dollars a day, typically closer to 150. Delivery adds 50 to 500 more depending on distance and access. Multi-day and weekly rentals usually cost less per day than a single-day booking, so check our porta potty rental per day page before booking short.
No. A standard unit doesn't meet ADA clearance rules on its own. ADA Standards 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of clustered units be accessible, with a 32 inch clear door and 60 inch turning circle. Order an ADA accessible porta potty separately if your event or site needs one.
No, standard units carry hand sanitizer only, not a sink. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a drying device for true handwashing compliance, which sanitizer alone doesn't satisfy. Add a handwashing station rental or step up to the deluxe flushable porta potty with a built-in sink.
Weekly is standard for light use, based on the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline of one visit per week for up to 10 users. High-traffic construction sites or weekend events need more frequent pumping. Our how often are porta potties cleaned page breaks down scheduling by job type and headcount.
