Standard porta potty
$125 to $250 a weekend
How many portable toilets do I need?
The answer depends on your worker count and how long they'll be there. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline: for 20 workers or fewer, you need 1 toilet facility; from 20 up to 40 workers, add 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers. At 200 workers or more, the ratio shifts to 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers. Construction sites have different rules than industrial facilities, and event needs differ again. A standard portable toilet holds 60 to 70 gallons and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground. Call Rochester Porta Pros with your headcount and duration, and we'll tell you the actual number. A porta potty rental calculator walks through the math.
What's the difference between a standard unit and a deluxe?
A standard unit does the job. Deluxe models add a flushing toilet instead of a drop-down seat, hand sanitizer, and a bigger footprint. The deluxe flushable porta potty costs more per day but feels like an actual bathroom. For a one-day event in Rochester, expect to rent a standard unit at around 100 to 350 dollars; a deluxe starts higher. If your site runs for a week, go deluxe if your budget allows. Monthly rentals make the per-day cost smaller either way. Compare what matters to you: comfort, budget, and how long people will be using it.
Do I need an ADA-accessible unit?
If anyone on your crew or at your event has mobility limits, yes. An ADA accessible porta potty meets ADA Standards section 213.2, which requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster. Rochester Porta Pros ensures our accessible units have a 60-inch diameter turning circle (ADA Standards section 304.3.1), a 32-inch clear door opening (ADA Standards section 404.2.3), and a stable, firm, slip-resistant floor (ADA Standards section 302.1). The grab bars and interior space cost more to build and deliver. Budget 200 to 400 dollars per day in Rochester for a single accessible unit, depending on duration and delivery distance.
How often does Rochester Porta Pros service the units?
One service visit per week is the industry baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 for up to 10 users over a 40-hour week. We pump the tank, refresh the toilet paper and hand sanitizer, and haul away waste. If your site has higher traffic, order twice-weekly service. Weekend rentals may carry an extra charge. Event restroom rental and construction projects often need different schedules. Tell us your user count and we'll recommend the interval that keeps things clean.
What if I need a restroom trailer instead?
A restroom trailer rental is the step up from portable toilets. Trailers have multiple stalls, running water, mirrors, and heating. Bigger sites, construction camps, festivals in Rochester, wedding venues, often choose trailers because they feel professional and hold up under heavy use. They cost more but spread that cost across more people. A 2-stall restroom trailer rents for around 150 to 1650 dollars per week depending on amenities; an 8-stall model runs higher. Delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck.
Can I rent a dumpster and a porta potty together?
Absolutely. Many construction sites in Rochester order both. A roll-off dumpster rental handles debris; portable toilets handle sanitation. We can coordinate delivery so both arrive the same day. See dumpster rental cost and porta potty rental cost for pricing ranges.
How much does septic pumping cost?
A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. Septic pumping service in Rochester runs 150 to 300 dollars per day for a standard call. Grease trap pumping costs more because the inspection is tighter.
Do I need a handwashing station on a construction site?
Yes, if employees are applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides. OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities with soap and towels in those contexts. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) specifies that hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy this rule. A portable sink rental or handwashing station rental runs 30 to 220 dollars per week.
What can't go in a dumpster?
See what cannot go in a dumpster for the full list. Hazardous materials, electronics, appliances and tires are the big ones. Ask before you throw.
