$125 to $250 a weekend
How Much Is a Porta Potty Rental for a Day?
Standard units run $100 to $350 a day, and most Memphis jobs settle around $150 once delivery is added. That range moves with how many units you need, how far the site sits from Memphis, and whether you need extras like a deluxe flushable unit instead of a basic model. A single unit for a backyard project costs less than five units on a construction lot near Germantown, 11.4 miles east. Delivery fees for a single day sit between $100 and $500, so ask upfront whether it is bundled. If your job runs longer than a day, check the porta potty rental per day numbers against a monthly porta potty rental instead, since the per-day cost drops fast once you commit to a week or more.
| unit | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | $100 - $350 | $130 - $500 | $125 - $325 |
| deluxe flushable | $85 - $1200 | $150 - $290 | n/a |
| ADA accessible | $200 - $400 | $240 - $400 | n/a |
A weekend rental for a standard unit typically runs $125 to $400 in prose form, which is why a lot of homeowners doing a two-day project just book the weekend rate instead of paying for two separate days. For a fuller cost breakdown across unit types, see porta potty rental cost in Memphis.
Why Does Porta Potty Rental Cost Per Day Vary So Much?
The $100 to $350 spread exists because unit type, distance, and rental length all pull the price in different directions. A basic standard porta potty rental on the low end serves a homeowner doing a weekend of yard work. A restroom trailer rental at the high end serves a wedding party that wants climate control and real sinks. Distance matters too. A site out toward West Memphis, 14.6 miles west, or Collierville, 20.9 miles east, costs more to service than one inside Memphis proper, because the delivery fee for a single day can range from $100 to $500 depending on the trip. Duration also compresses the daily rate. A one day rental at $150 to $350 looks expensive next to a week-long standard porta potty rental that runs $130 to $500 total, not per day. If you are only unsure how many units to book, the guide on how many porta potties do I need walks through headcount math based on OSHA 1926.51(c)(1), which sets 1 toilet for 20 workers or fewer on a construction site.
What Affects the Daily Rental Price?
Four things move the number: unit type, service length, site access, and whether you need an ADA unit on site. Construction crews near Memphis often need to meet OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) ratios, which require 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers once headcount passes 20. That single requirement can turn a one-unit order into a five-unit order overnight. If your crew clears fewer than 20 people, a single porta john rental usually covers it for the day. ADA Standards section 213.2 also matters here: where units are clustered, at least 5 percent, and never fewer than one, has to be an accessible model, which is why ADA accessible porta potty rentals run $200 to $400 a day on their own line in the pricing table above. Site access changes cost too. A roll-off delivery truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it, and portable toilet trucks need something similar, so a tight urban lot near downtown Memphis can add a trip charge that a wide-open lot near Lakeland, 20.9 miles northeast, would not. For events, see event restroom rental pricing instead, since one-day event rates often run higher than a standard construction-site day.
Is a One Day Rental the Cheapest Option?
Not usually. A single day is convenient, but the per-day cost is highest on the shortest bookings, since delivery and pickup trips get spread across fewer days. A three-day project booked as a single week rental at $130 to $500 total often beats three separate day rentals stacked back to back. If your project runs past a week, look at porta potty rental cost for the fuller comparison across day, week, and month pricing, or jump straight to monthly porta potty rental if the job runs a season. Homeowners doing a home renovation porta potty rental almost always save money booking a week minimum rather than day by day, even for jobs expected to wrap in four or five days. Event planners running a single weekend, like a wedding near Southaven, 12.6 miles south, or a festival closer to Olive Branch, 13.6 miles southeast, should ask about the weekend rate directly rather than pricing two separate day rentals.
Every rental from Memphis Porta Pros includes routine servicing under the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline, which sets one service visit per week for units seeing normal use, though multi-day construction jobs often need more frequent service than that baseline. For contractors managing OSHA compliance on top of restroom counts, the OSHA portable toilet requirements page covers the full standard. If your job also needs debris hauled, pair the rental with a roll-off dumpster rental or check construction site services for a combined quote.
How much does a porta potty rental cost per day near me?
Expect $100 to $350 for a standard unit for a single day in Memphis, with delivery billed at $100 to $500 depending on distance and access. Exact pricing depends on unit type and how far the site sits from Memphis. Request a firm number through request a quote.
Does the daily rate include delivery and pickup?
Not always. Some quotes bundle it, others list delivery as a separate line at $100 to $500 for a single day. Ask directly when booking. Multi-day and monthly rentals often absorb delivery into a flat fee instead, which the porta potty rental cost page explains in more detail.
Is a one day rental cheaper than a weekend rental?
Not necessarily. A weekend rental for a standard unit runs about $125 to $400 in practice, covering Friday through Sunday, which often costs less per day than booking two separate single days. Ask for the weekend rate before defaulting to daily.
Can I rent just one porta potty for a small backyard project?
Yes. A single standard porta potty rental covers most backyard and small home projects for a day. If you are unsure how many units your project needs, the how many porta potties do I need guide walks through the math.
Do construction sites need more than one unit per day?
Often, yes. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires 1 toilet for 20 workers or fewer, and 1 toilet seat plus 1 urinal per 40 workers once the crew passes 20. Larger Memphis job sites should plan unit counts against that ratio, not just against square footage.
