Standard porta potty
$125 to $250 a weekend
What's the cost to rent a porta potty in Lakeview?
A standard porta potty rental in Lakeview runs $100 to $350 per day. Weekly rentals range from $130 to $500. A monthly unit costs $125 to $325. These prices sit in the measured band across the region; your actual quote depends on unit type, duration, how many you need and the job site setup. Delivery to Lakeview adds a weekly service fee of $50 to $150. A deluxe flushable unit costs more but gives you running water and a flush mechanism, which some crews prefer on longer jobs. Memphis Porta Pros can quote you the exact price once you describe the work and the timeline.
How many porta potties do I need on my construction site?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the count: for 20 workers or fewer you need one facility; from 20 up to 200 you need one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers; at 200 or more workers add one toilet seat and one urinal per 50 workers. A small crew of eight people needs one unit. A crew of 40 needs one toilet and one urinal, which a deluxe unit or a 2-stall restroom trailer can cover. Larger jobs in the Lakeview area may need three, four or more units. See our guide on how many porta potties you need for the full table and some practical examples. If your work involves painters or crews applying coatings or herbicides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires a separate washing station with soap and towels, hand sanitizer doesn't satisfy the rule. Memphis Porta Pros delivers handwashing stations for exactly this purpose.
Can I place a porta potty anywhere on my Lakeview property or jobsite?
Placement on your own private property is yours to decide. Placement in any public right of way, a street, sidewalk or public parking lot, needs confirming with the city or county. Memphis Porta Pros can help you navigate the question, but you'll need to contact the local authority to verify the actual rule for Lakeview. A standard unit sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands 92 inches tall, so measure twice before you order. Roll-off dumpsters need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the delivery truck. Restroom trailers take more space and need level ground. If you need an ADA accessible unit, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires that at least 5 percent of portable toilets, and no fewer than one, be accessible, with a 36-inch minimum clear approach width and a 60-inch turning circle. The Memphis area spans several service areas, and Lakeview is on the southwest side.
How often does Memphis Porta Pros service portable toilets in Lakeview?
Service frequency depends on your contract. A baseline for a standard unit covering up to 10 users over a 40-hour week is one visit per week, per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the industry sanitation standard. Busier sites with more traffic need service twice a week or on weekends. Every service includes pumping the 60 to 70 gallon holding tank, restocking toilet paper and cleaning. Memphis Porta Pros coordinates the schedule with you when you rent. For septic tank pumping at a home or commercial property in Lakeview, a residential tank typically gets pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. A grease interceptor at a restaurant or food truck is pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth.
Why should I rent from Memphis Porta Pros instead of another company?
We operate a single city and we know the Memphis area and Lakeview market thoroughly. We stock standard units, deluxe toilets, ADA accessible units, restroom trailers in multiple sizes, storage containers, temporary fencing, roll-off dumpsters and handwashing stations. You call once and get all your site services from the same crew. We serve Memphis, Germantown, Southaven, Olive Branch, West Memphis and the surrounding area out to Lakeview. Need help on a construction site or planning a wedding or event restroom setup? We've done both. Call us for a quote or request a quote online.
How long does delivery take to Lakeview?
About 26 minutes from Memphis. We schedule the day and time with you in advance so someone is on site when we arrive.
Do porta potties smell bad?
Porta potties have odor control chemicals. Smell depends on temperature, traffic and cleaning frequency. Regular service keeps odor minimal.
What happens if I need an emergency rental on a weekend?
Call us. Weekend service fees run higher than weekday rates, but we can often accommodate same-day placement if we have inventory available.
Can I use a porta potty in winter in Lakeview?
Yes. Units work year-round in Tennessee and Mississippi. Cold can slow chemical action, so we service more often if you choose. See our winter guide for details.
Is a handwashing station the same as a hand sanitizer station?
No. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires actual soap and towels or a hand drying device. Hand sanitizer does not meet the standard. We rent proper handwashing stations for that reason.
