Standard Portable Toilet Rental

A standard porta potty is a single-stall portable toilet with a holding tank, a vent, a locking door and a hand sanitizer dispenser. It needs no water, drain or power, so it goes wherever a truck can reach.

What it is

This is the porta potty most people picture: one stall, a holding tank underneath, a vent, a door that locks and shows when it's in use, and a hand sanitizer dispenser. It doesn't need water, a drain or electricity, which is why it can go almost anywhere.

If you're not sure what to rent, it's probably this. Framing crews, backyard parties, a house with the plumbing shut off for a remodel, a Saturday market. Most of those are served perfectly well by one or more standard units. It's also the lowest-cost option per stall.

Key facts

  • A single stall with a holding tank, a vent and a door that locks.
  • A hand sanitizer dispenser, but no running water.
  • No water, drain or power hookup.
  • The lowest-cost option per stall.

Why people choose it

No hookups

The unit carries its own tank, so there's nothing to connect. If a truck can get close, the unit can go there.

Fits through a gate

A standard unit can be moved on a hand truck, so side yards and fenced lots are usually workable.

Kept clean on a schedule

We pump it out, clean it and restock paper and sanitizer on a set schedule for as long as you have it.

Add units as you grow

Start with what you need now. If the crew or guest list grows, add another unit instead of paying for extra from day one.

Good for

  • Construction and trade crews without a restroom on site.
  • Backyard parties, family reunions and graduation get-togethers.
  • Farmers markets, fun runs and community events.
  • Remodels where the house plumbing is out of service.
  • Landscaping, farm and utility crews working in the field.

Before you book

It needs firm, level ground

A unit on a slope or soft ground can rock, and the door may not close properly. Packed dirt, gravel, grass, asphalt or concrete all work.

Keep a path open for the service truck

Cleaning is done with a hose from the truck. If a car, a dumpster or a pile of materials blocks the way, the unit can't be serviced that day.

How often it's serviced depends on use

Once a week is typical for a small crew. More people, hot weather or public use usually means more frequent visits. We'll suggest a schedule when you book.

Common questions

How many people can one standard porta potty handle?
A common planning figure is one unit for about 10 workers over a 40-hour week with weekly service, or one unit per 50 guests for a four-hour event. Alcohol, hot weather and longer hours all mean you should plan for more.
Does a standard unit have a sink?
No. It has a hand sanitizer dispenser but no running water. If food is being served or prepared, add a handwashing station. Health rules for food events generally require one.
Can it go on grass?
Yes, as long as the ground is firm and fairly level. Avoid slopes, soft mud and low spots where rain collects.
