Downtown DC Porta Pros delivers standard, deluxe and ADA accessible units to Takoma Park, 6.5 miles north of Downtown DC. The drive runs about 17 minutes. Rental costs fall between $100 to $350 per day, and delivery fees typically range $50 to $150 for jobs this distance from our main service hub.
Takoma Park sits 6.5 miles north of Downtown DC, roughly a 17 minute drive depending on traffic. That distance affects your delivery fee. We charge a delivery fee on top of the unit rental itself. For nearby towns, Hyattsville is 6.4 miles northeast and Bladensburg is 6.5 miles northeast, so you're in the same zone. Check our service areas to confirm we reach your specific address.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before we drop the unit. Street permits and placement rules differ from Downtown DC rules. Call Takoma Park's public works department to verify what you'll need. We can help you understand what the unit requires on site, but the municipality approval is on you.
A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and stands about 92 inches tall, taking up roughly 44 by 48 inches on the ground. That fits most residential driveways and construction sites. For a standard porta potty rental, you're looking at weekly rates between $130 to $500 depending on how often you need service visits and what duration you choose.
If you're running a construction site, OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline: you need 1 toilet facility for every 20 workers or fewer, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up. For an event or wedding, a standard unit handles 10 to 15 people comfortably over a 40 hour week with one service visit. Deluxe flushable units cost more but feel closer to a real restroom.
Yes. An ADA accessible porta potty meets ADA Standards section 213.2: at least 5 percent of clustered units, and never fewer than one, must be accessible. The accessible unit has a 32 inch door opening per ADA Standards section 404.2.3 and a 60 inch turning circle inside per ADA Standards section 304.3.1. Daily rates run $200 to $400. We deliver them the same distance as standard units.
You might also want to pair an accessible unit with a handwashing station. If your crew is applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities on site. Hand sanitizer doesn't count; you need actual handwashing with soap and towels per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2). A handwashing station gets added to most construction rentals in the region and costs extra.
Beyond toilets, we haul roll-off dumpsters for demolition and construction debris. Dumpster weekly rates fall between $426 to $778 depending on size. We also rent restroom trailers for events, weddings and festivals that need multiple stalls and hot water. A 2 stall restroom trailer works for smaller gatherings; larger events use our 4 stall or 8 stall models.
Temporary fencing secures construction sites and storage containers hold tools and materials between shifts. If you need septic pumping, a residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. Downtown DC Porta Pros handles that too. Call for a quote on any combination of services.
Delivery typically runs $50 to $150 one way from Downtown DC. The exact fee depends on how far into Takoma Park you are and whether the route has tight turns or limited space. We'll nail down a real quote once you give us the address.
You'll need to check with Takoma Park first. Placement rules vary by municipality, and we can't drop a unit in the right of way without city approval. Call ahead and ask what permit you need, then call us back with the answer. We move fast once you have clearance.
We rent by the day, weekend, week and month. Daily rates start at $100 for a standard unit. Weekend pricing is available if you need the unit only Friday through Monday. Longer durations cost less per day, so a weekly rate beats splitting daily rates across seven days.
Yes. One service visit per week is the baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. For larger crews or longer rentals, we add service visits as needed. Service includes pumping, restocking toilet paper and hand soap, and sanitizing.
Call us for same day or next day service if your unit fails or overflows. Downtown DC Porta Pros covers Takoma Park as part of our service areas. We keep emergency crews on call during business hours.
