Standard porta potty
$125 to $250 a weekend
How much does a porta potty rental cost in Memphis?
Portable toilet rental cost depends on the unit and how long you keep it, and how much portable toilet rental runs comes down to those two things. A standard porta potty is the base. A deluxe flushable unit adds a foot pump and sink. An ADA accessible unit is built wider to meet the 60 inch turning circle in ADA Standards 304.3.1. A restroom trailer is the top tier. Portable restrooms rental cost climbs from the standard toilet up to the trailer. Here in Memphis the daily standard rate sits near the middle of what competitors charge across the region. When people ask how much does portable toilet rental cost, the answer starts here. For a single day at a backyard job, most people rent one standard toilet or port o john rental. For a month-long build, the monthly rate is the number that matters. See the full cost breakdown below and the per-day page for short jobs.
What does a porta potty cost by unit and duration?
Here are the bands. Weekly always beats daily, and monthly beats weekly, because longer rentals bundle service.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 150 | 200 | 200 |
| Deluxe flushable | 300 | 250 | n/a |
| ADA accessible | 230 | 185 | n/a |
| Restroom trailer | 800 | 1397 | n/a |
Weekend rates are quoted separately as a premium. A standard unit over a weekend runs about 250 dollars. An ADA weekend is near 240. A restroom trailer weekend sits around 2000. For events, a standard event rate lands near 400 and a trailer event package near 3500. The price for portable toilet rental and every portable toilet rental cost here match the measured bands from 799 competitor datapoints, so nobody quotes you a figure that floats.
What are the delivery, service and pickup fees?
These are broken out from the rental itself. That is normal in this trade and it keeps the unit price honest.
| Fee | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery | 100 | 172 |
| Service visit | 60 | 150 |
| Pickup | included with delivery cycle | included |
A single delivery on a short job can run from 100 to 150 dollars depending on where you are in Memphis and how far the truck drives. Service covers pump-out and restock. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit a week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, so a weekly line item is standard. Need more than one clean a week? That adds service visits, not rental cost. Ask on the contact page for a route quote to your address.
Why do porta potty prices vary so much?
Distance is the first driver. A drop in central Memphis costs less than a run out to Collierville 20.9 miles east or Hernando 20.3 miles south. Unit type is second. A deluxe flushable carries a bigger tank and a sink, so it costs more than a basic toilet. Service frequency is third. A crew of 45 needs more pump-outs than a crew of 8. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires one toilet for up to 20 workers, then one seat and one urinal per 40 workers above that, which sets how many units a site needs. Season matters too. A winter rental may need extra care. And a longer term always lowers the daily average, which is why the monthly rate beats renting by the day.
How much does a restroom trailer cost to rent?
More than a standalone toilet, because it is a towable building with flushing stalls, sinks and lighting. A 2 stall trailer suits a wedding of 100. A 4 stall trailer covers a mid-size event. An 8 stall trailer handles a festival crowd. Weekly trailer rates run into four figures, and event packages higher still. A shower trailer or luxury restroom trailer sits at the top. Trailers need a level pad and power. Construction area lighting under OSHA 1926.56(a) sets minimum illumination, and GFCI protection under OSHA 1926.404(b)(1)(ii) applies on job sites where the trailer draws power. For a wedding or concert, price the trailer against several deluxe units and pick on guest count. See the trailer cost page for the full picture.
What does a fair quote include?
A fair quote names the unit, the term, the delivery fee, the service schedule and the pickup. No hidden lines. It should say how many units your headcount needs. For a non-construction workplace, general industry ratios in OSHA 1910.141(c)(1)(i) apply instead of the construction table. Washing facilities under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) need soap and towels or a dryer, and hand sanitizer alone does not meet that, so a handwashing station is often a separate line. If crews apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities, which is why a portable sink shows up on painting and spray jobs. A standard unit is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands about 92 inches tall, so confirm placement clearance. Check the rental checklist before you sign, and read the placement guide so the truck can reach the spot.
Can you show three worked cost scenarios?
Yes. Real numbers, from the bands above.
Scenario one, a weekend backyard party in Memphis. One standard unit at the weekend rate near 250 dollars, plus a delivery fee. Add a handwashing station if you are feeding people. That covers a home renovation weekend too.
Scenario two, a month-long construction site with a crew of 18. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) puts you at one toilet for up to 20 workers, so one standard unit on the monthly rate near 200 dollars, plus a monthly service line and delivery. Pair it with a dumpster if you are hauling debris.
Scenario three, a 150 guest wedding out in Germantown 11.4 miles east. A 2 stall trailer on a weekend near 2000 dollars, with delivery and a service visit. The event restroom page walks the rest.
When should you book and how do you get a price?
Book early for peak dates. Spring and fall weekends fill fast across Memphis, and a festival or marathon can tie up trailers weeks ahead. For an emergency drop or disaster relief, call and we route the nearest truck. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so measure the approach before the date. If your site runs on septic, a septic pumping or holding tank may pair with the toilets. To rent a portable restroom and lock a number, use the quote request or the contact page. We serve Memphis and towns out to Southaven 12.6 miles south and Olive Branch 13.6 miles southeast. See the service areas list for the full map, and the FAQ for anything else. Memphis Porta Pros gives one clean price with the lines spelled out.
How much does it cost to rent a porta potty for one day?
A standard unit runs about 150 dollars for a single day, plus a delivery fee that starts near 100. A deluxe flushable unit costs more per day. Add pickup at the end of the term.
Is a weekly rental cheaper than daily?
Yes. A weekly standard rental near 200 dollars beats renting seven single days, because service and pickup bundle into one term. That is why the week and month columns in the table above sit where they do. Longer never costs less than shorter.
What is the cheapest porta potty option in Memphis?
A standard toilet on a monthly term gives the lowest portable toilet rental costs per day. Port o potties for rent by the month beat every other term. If you want to rent a porta john for one weekend, the weekend rate is your floor. Skip the deluxe unit unless you want a flush and sink.
Do I pay extra for cleaning and pump-outs?
Service is a separate line from rental. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one visit a week as the baseline for up to 10 users. Heavier use or extra cleaning visits add service, not base rent. A weekly service line runs near 60 dollars.
How many porta potties do I need for my headcount?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires one toilet for up to 20 workers, then one seat and one urinal per 40 above that. Our headcount guide and the OSHA requirements page do the math for your crew or guest list.
Does an ADA unit cost more than a standard one?
A little. An ADA accessible unit is built to the 36 inch route in ADA Standards 403.5.1 and the 60 inch turning circle in 304.3.1, so it is wider. ADA Standards 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of clustered units, never fewer than one, be accessible.
How much does a restroom trailer rental cost for a wedding?
A 2 stall trailer on a weekend runs near 2000 dollars, delivery and service on top. Bigger crowds move up to a 4 stall or 8 stall trailer. The wedding restroom page covers guest-count sizing.
