A home renovation porta potty runs 100 to 350 dollars a day or 200 to 325 dollars a month, depending on unit type and rental length. Most Downtown DC homeowners doing a kitchen or bathroom gut rent a standard porta potty by the month since crews need it daily and contractors do not want to haul portable toilets between job sites.
Pricing depends on how long the renovation runs and what kind of unit fits your driveway or yard. A short weekend patch job costs less than a full kitchen teardown that drags on for weeks. Check porta potty rental per day pricing if your contractor only needs it a few days, or look at monthly porta potty rental if the project runs longer.
| unit | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | 100-350 | 130-500 | 125-325 |
| deluxe flushable | 85-1200 | 150-290 | -- |
| ADA accessible | 200-400 | 120-240 | -- |
A standard unit holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, so it fits along a fence line or beside a temporary fence for a rental house without blocking the sidewalk. Renovation crews working alone often skip the deluxe flushable model and just want something serviced weekly; ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets that one-visit-per-week baseline for up to 10 users over a standard work week, which covers most single-crew renovation jobs. Full cost breakdowns live on our porta potty rental cost page, and delivery adds a separate fee on top of the unit rate. If your renovation site also needs a dumpster for demo debris, pair the toilet with a 10 yard dumpster rental and order both at once to save a delivery trip.
Placement in the public right of way, meaning the sidewalk strip or street-facing curb, needs confirming with the city before delivery. We are not naming a specific ordinance here because permit rules vary and were not verified for this page; check our porta potty permit requirements guide before you commit to a spot, and read the general porta potty placement guide for setback basics that apply almost everywhere. If the unit sits entirely on private property, inside the yard or driveway, permitting is usually simpler, but confirm with Downtown DC before the delivery truck shows up.
Landlords doing turnover renovations between tenants sometimes combine the toilet order with a temporary fence for a rental home to keep the site secured and to keep foot traffic off the porch during demo. A chain link temporary fence around the dumpster and toilet keeps neighbors and kids out of an active work zone, which matters more on a rental property where you do not control who walks by. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets toilet ratios for construction crews, one unit for 20 workers or fewer, and even a two-person renovation crew technically falls under that same standard if it is a covered construction site.
Most gut renovations need more than one rental. A home storage container rental keeps tools and materials locked up overnight instead of cluttering the yard; a 20ft container works for most single-family renovation jobs and monthly storage pricing runs 100 to 250 dollars depending on size. If the crew is repainting or stripping old finishes, 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities where workers apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, so a handwashing station rental or a portable sink rental covers that requirement directly.
Septic-connected homes doing a major renovation should also check the tank before construction traffic and added water use stress the system; a residential tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years based on tank size and household size, and our septic pumping service page covers scheduling. If you are searching for home depot porta potty rental because a big box store does not actually rent these units, Downtown DC Porta Pros delivers and services them directly, which a hardware store counter cannot do.
Some renovation sites double as temporary living arrangements. A mobile office trailer sometimes gets converted into a home office or workspace during a long remodel, and a restroom trailer rental or even a shower trailer rental gives displaced residents a place to wash up if the only bathroom is torn out. Nearby, Hyattsville sits 6.4 miles northeast and Takoma Park 6.5 miles north, both areas where our service areas page lists delivery coverage for renovation jobs outside Downtown DC proper.
As long as the renovation needs it. Daily and weekly rates apply to short jobs, monthly rates apply once the project runs past a few weeks. See request a quote for a rate matched to your actual timeline.
Only if the city allows it on that stretch of curb or sidewalk. Confirm placement with Downtown DC first. Our porta potty permit requirements page covers what to ask.
