What does porta potty rental cost in Boston?
Price depends on the unit type and how long you keep it. A standard porta potty rental runs less than a deluxe flushable porta potty, and both cost less than a luxury restroom trailer. Here are the bands we quote inside.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $100-$350 | $130-$500 | $125-$325 |
| Deluxe flushable | $85-$1200 | $150-$290 | - |
| ADA accessible | $200-$400 | $240-$400 | - |
Delivery is billed separately, and a weekend standard unit runs about $250. See the full porta potty rental cost breakdown, the per-day rate, or a monthly porta potty rental if the job runs long. When you know the dates, request a quote and we lock the number. Compare it against a restroom trailer rental cost before you decide.
How many porta potties do I need?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets one toilet for 20 workers or fewer on a construction site, then one seat and one urinal per 40 workers above that. Events run on headcount and hours instead. Our how many porta potties do I need guide walks the math, and the OSHA portable toilet requirements page lists the rules for a construction site services setup.
A standard unit holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank, so one visit a week covers about 10 users per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. Under-count and it fills fast. For weddings, festivals and races the ratio shifts, which is why event restroom rental, wedding restroom rental and festival restroom rental each get their own plan. A marathon and race start line needs banks of units near the corrals.
What types of porta potties can you rent?
Plenty. A portable toilet rental covers the basic jobsite box, sometimes called a porta john rental. Step up to a deluxe flushable porta potty for a fresh-water flush and sink, or a portable restroom rental for a nicer finish at a gathering.
For accessibility, the ADA accessible porta potty meets ADA Standards section 213.2, which requires at least 5 percent of clustered units, and never fewer than one, to be accessible. A standard unit sits about 44 by 48 inches and stands roughly 92 inches tall. Need something upscale? A 2 stall restroom trailer, 4 stall restroom trailer, or 8 stall restroom trailer brings flushing toilets and running water, and a shower trailer rental adds hot water for longer jobs. See the whole restroom trailer rental lineup.
Do you handle placement and permits in Boston?
Yes on placement. We deliver, level and service the units, then haul them out. Our porta potty placement guide covers clearance and access, and a delivery truck needs about 60 feet of straight room to work. ADA Standards section 302.1 wants a stable, firm, slip-resistant ground surface under any accessible unit, so we scout the spot first.
Permits are a different animal. Placing a unit in the public right of way in Boston needs confirmation with the city, and rules vary by street and block. We do not guess at ordinance numbers. Check our porta potty permit requirements page, then confirm with the city before delivery. If you are also renting a dumpster, the dumpster permit requirements work the same way. For overnight sites we add temporary fence rental and a light tower rental.
Why rent from Boston Porta Pros?
We keep the whole site covered from one call. Portable toilets first, but also septic pumping service, a roll-off dumpster rental, a storage container rental and handwashing station rental. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) says a wash station needs soap and towels or a dryer, and sanitizer alone does not meet it, so we spec real sinks. A portable sink rental pairs well with any unit block.
We run all over Boston and the towns around it. Somerville sits 7.3 miles northwest, Cambridge 7.6 miles northwest, and Chelsea 7.5 miles north, so we cover Somerville, Cambridge and Chelsea on the same routes. Braintree Town is 12.6 miles south and Waltham 13.9 miles west, both handled from our service areas. Need us today? Try emergency porta potty rental or read about how we work, then hit contact.
How much is porta potty rental near me?
A standard unit in Boston starts around $150 a day, and weekly or monthly terms lower the effective rate. Delivery is quoted on top. See the porta potty rental cost page for the full bands, or request a quote for your exact site and dates.
How often are porta potties cleaned?
Once a week is the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Heavy traffic gets more visits. We pump the tank, restock and sanitize on each stop. The how often are porta potties cleaned page explains the service in detail.
Can I rent a fancy porta potty for a wedding?
Yes. For a wedding or upscale event, a luxury restroom trailer brings flushing toilets, sinks and climate control, while a deluxe flushable porta potty is the lower-cost step up. Both beat a standard box for guest comfort. See wedding restroom rental.
Do porta potties smell in summer?
Managed right, not much. Weekly service, deodorizer and the 60 to 70 gallon tank keep odor down, and placement in shade helps in Boston heat. Read do porta potties smell and how do porta potties work for the full picture.
What size dumpster goes with a porta potty rental?
That depends on the debris. Home cleanouts often take a 10 yard dumpster rental, while renovations lean on a 20 yard dumpster rental or a 30 yard dumpster rental. Check dumpster sizes and dimensions to match the job.
