A standard porta potty in Downtown DC runs about $150 for a day, $200 for a week and $200 for a month, plus a one-time delivery fee near $100. Deluxe flushable units and ADA models cost more. Event weekends and restroom trailers price higher. Read on for the full table.
Most jobs land in one of three buckets. A basic jobsite unit is the cheapest thing we deliver. A standard porta potty rental covers a construction crew or a backyard project without any fuss, and it is the cheapest way to rent a porta potty. Step up to a deluxe flushable porta potty for a wedding, or an ADA accessible porta potty when you need a unit that meets ADA Standards section 213.2 for clustered single-user toilets. When people ask how much a portable toilet rental costs, the answer moves with the unit type, the rental length and how many services you buy, and rent porta potty prices always split into unit rate, delivery and service. Every unit has a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank, which drives how often it needs pumping. A crew of 25 changes the math too, because OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers once you pass 20. See our full cost breakdown by day if you only need one for a weekend. We also serve Hyattsville, 6.4 miles northeast.

Weekend rates sit apart from the day, week and month columns because a weekend is a premium short-term booking. A standard unit for a weekend runs about $250, an ADA unit about $240, and a restroom trailer around $2,000. Pickup is folded into the delivery and service lines above. The monthly rental option is the best value for a home renovation that drags on. For a single day, check the per-day pricing page. Need a full restroom trailer cost? That page goes deeper.
The base rate covers the unit, its stock and a set service schedule. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 puts the baseline at one service visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, so that interval is what most standard rentals assume. A standard unit is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, which matters for tight placement downtown. Delivery drops the unit and sets it level. Service is the weekly pump-and-restock. Pickup hauls it off when you are done. A deluxe flushable unit adds a foot pump and a sink. Handwashing is often separate, and 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a dryer at a washing facility, which hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy. Add a handwashing station or a portable sink if your job needs one. See the rental checklist before you book. We also cover Takoma Park, 6.5 miles north.
Portable toilet rental costs turn on three big levers: distance, duration and service frequency. A unit that sits farther from our yard carries a longer delivery. Greenbelt is 12.3 miles northeast, so a drop there costs more than one in the heart of Downtown DC. Heavy use means extra service visits above the weekly baseline, and each visit is billed. The unit type matters most of all. A restroom trailer rental prices in a different league than a porta john rental, so the price for portable toilet rental swings hard by unit; folks who rent a porta john or want port o potties for rent pay far less than trailer clients. Rental length cuts both ways: a monthly rate spreads the delivery fee across more days, so the daily cost drops the longer you keep it. Peak event season tightens supply. A wedding restroom rental booked for a Saturday competes with every other Saturday event. Winter adds its own wrinkle, covered on our porta potty in winter page. Do the math on your crew with the how many do I need guide. Bladensburg is 6.5 miles out.
Events pack more people into fewer hours, so they need nicer units and more of them. A festival restroom rental or a concert restroom rental leans on deluxe flushable units and restroom trailers because guests expect a sink and a mirror. A standard event booking runs $200 to $800 depending on the unit, well above a plain jobsite day. Weekend delivery windows are tighter and often after hours. A construction site rents the basic unit for months and services it weekly, so the per-day cost falls. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the crew ratios that keep a jobsite legal, and one toilet covers up to 20 workers. Compare that to a marathon where thousands pass through in a morning. A golf tournament or a county fair sits in between. Read the OSHA requirements page for the jobsite rules. Downtown DC events book fast in spring.
If you want to rent a portable restroom with real plumbing, a trailer is the priciest option because it is a climate-controlled building on wheels. A day runs from $175 for a small unit up to $2,500 for a large one, and a weekend sits around $2,000. A full event package can reach the $3,500 range. Size drives it. A 2 stall trailer handles a small wedding, while a 4 stall or an 8 stall trailer covers a big Downtown DC gathering. A shower trailer adds hot water and its own price tier. Trailers need level ground and often a power hookup. On a construction site that means a temporary power pole, and OSHA 1926.404(b)(1)(ii) requires GFCI protection where those connect. ADA Standards section 405.2 caps a ramp slope at 1:12 for the accessible entrance. See the trailer cost page for the full breakdown. A wedding restroom rental almost always means a trailer.
Numbers make this concrete. Here are three jobs we quote often in Downtown DC.
A weekend backyard wedding for 80 guests. Two deluxe flushable units at the weekend rate near $250 each, one ADA unit at about $240, and a handwashing station, plus a weekend delivery fee around $200. That satisfies ADA Standards section 213.2 for the accessible unit and gives guests a sink.
A three-month renovation for a crew of eight. One standard unit at the monthly rate near $200, weekly service folded in, one delivery near $172. That meets OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) for a crew under 20. Full math on the monthly page.
A one-day film set shoot. A 2 stall trailer plus a standard backup and a day delivery. Get a real quote once you know your headcount and dates.
Bundling one delivery saves you a second trip charge. If your project already needs a toilet, it often needs a dumpster too. A roll-off dumpster rental drops on the same visit, though a roll-off needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck. Pick a size on the dumpster sizes page, from a 10 yard up to a 40 yard. Fencing keeps a downtown site secure, and OSHA 1926.202 ties barricades to the ANSI D6.1 standard. Price a temporary fence rental alongside your units. On-site tools live in a storage container rental or a mobile office trailer. If you run a septic system, a septic pumping service handles a tank pumped every 3 to 5 years. Start on the home page or head to contact. We reach College Park, 10.2 miles northeast.
To rent a porta john or a standard unit runs about $150 for a single day, plus a delivery fee near $100. A deluxe flushable unit costs more. The daily rate drops sharply if you keep the unit for a week or a month, so long jobs pay less per day. See the per-day page.
No. Delivery is a separate line, around $100 for a one-time weekly drop, and pickup is billed with it. The unit rate covers the toilet and its scheduled service. Longer rentals spread that delivery cost over more days. Our cost breakdown shows each line clearly.
ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Heavy use needs more. Each unit has a 60 to 70 gallon tank that gets pumped and restocked at every visit. See how often they are cleaned.
If you cluster single-user toilets, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent, never fewer than one, to be accessible. An ADA unit meets the 60 inch turning circle under section 304.3.1. Read the ADA restroom requirements guide.
A trailer is a plumbed building with sinks, flush toilets and climate control. That is why it prices from $175 up to $2,500 a day by size, versus $150 for a basic unit. A luxury trailer sits at the top. Guests notice the difference.
Yes. A monthly porta potty rental near $200 spreads a single delivery across 30 days, so the daily cost is lower than any short booking. It is the standard choice for renovations. A construction site almost always rents monthly.
Placement on private property is straightforward. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before we deliver, and we cannot name a specific rule here. Check our permit requirements guide and call us if you are unsure about your Downtown DC site.
