How much to rent a porta potty for a week? Is there a weekly rate between the event and monthly prices

Marcus B.asked 1 viewCosts & Rental QuotesWeekend rentalMonthly rentalPricingStandard unitWeekly rental

I'm getting a new deck built and need a portable toilet for the crew for about a week. It's a standard build, no food or alcohol, just three guys working eight hours a day. The spot is in my backyard, level grass, and a truck can drive right up to it. I see companies advertising weekend event rates and monthly construction rates, but nothing for a single week. Is there a weekly rate that falls between those two prices? What should I expect to pay for a standard unit for seven days, and does that include delivery and one service visit?

Yes, rental companies do have a weekly rate for a standard portable toilet, and it falls between the higher weekend event rate and the lower monthly construction rate. A week-long rental for a crew is a common request. For three workers on a deck build, a single standard unit is sufficient; OSHA 1926.51 requires one toilet for 20 or fewer workers. The weekly rate will include delivery and one service visit, which is the standard service frequency for a week. Your setup is ideal: level grass with truck access right to the placement spot, so there should be no extra charges for difficult access. The price is driven by the unit type, the rental duration, and the included service. Since you don't need a flushing unit or a handwash station for a basic crew, the cost will be for the most basic serviceable unit. You are not being charged an event premium, and you are not getting the discount of a long-term monthly contract, so the weekly rate is the middle-ground price for that exact timeframe.
