Downtown DC Porta Pros rents portable toilets, dumpsters, restroom trailers, storage containers and handwashing stations across the city. Standard units cost 100 to 350 dollars per day and most Downtown DC jobs need two to four of them. We service events, construction sites, farms and emergency situations. Most questions come down to sizing, cost and what goes where.
The math depends on how many people show up and how long they'll be there. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets a minimum: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers up to 200, then one per 50 workers at 200 or more. An event with 60 guests over six hours needs different math than a construction crew of 20 working a 40-hour week. A standard porta potty rental works for most jobs. Download our porta potty rental checklist to nail down your count before you call. Or call us and describe the work: we'll tell you what to rent. Most jobs in Downtown DC take between two and four units.
A standard unit is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands about 92 inches tall with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank inside. It holds a toilet seat, urinal and hand sanitizer dispenser. Daily rental runs 100 to 350 dollars depending on the length of your rental and how often service visits happen. Check our pricing for the rates that apply to your job. We pick it up and drop it off. If you need a flushing toilet with running water instead, rent a deluxe flushable porta potty or a restroom trailer for longer jobs. Trailers cost more upfront but they're worth it for events that run several days.
An ADA accessible porta potty must meet ADA Standards section 213.2: where single-user units are clustered, at least five percent, and never fewer than one, must be accessible. The unit needs a 60 inch diameter turning circle and a 36 inch minimum clear doorway width per ADA Standards section 403.5.1 and 404.2.3. Downtown DC venues and job sites often have tight spaces, so talk through your layout before we deliver. ADA units rent from 120 to 400 dollars per day. We've placed them at festivals, weddings and construction sites across Downtown DC.
Permit rules vary depending on where you're setting up. If you're placing a unit in the public right of way in Downtown DC, confirm placement rules with the city before you rent. If it's on private property with owner permission, you're usually clear. Call us and describe your location: we know which spots need permits and which don't. Read our guide on porta potty permit requirements for more detail.
A standard visit happens once per week for baseline use under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. High-traffic events need more frequent service: twice weekly or even daily. We pump the tank, restock toilet paper and hand sanitizer, and clean the seat and walls. Downtown DC events in summer heat or construction sites with 50+ workers often go to twice-weekly service. Tell us your expected traffic when you order and we'll set the schedule. See how often porta potties are cleaned for the full breakdown.
Yes. We offer roll-off dumpster rental, septic pumping, storage container rental, temporary fence rental and handwashing stations. If your job needs a restroom and a dumpster, rent both from us. If you're applying paints, coatings or herbicides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities where those contaminants are present; we can deliver a handwashing station alongside your toilet. Downtown DC construction sites often rent a toilet, a dumpster and a fence together. One invoice, one delivery window, one phone number to call if something breaks.
