What does porta potty rental cost in Columbia?
How much a porta potty rental costs depends on the unit and how long you keep it. A standard unit sits around 150 dollars a day, and a weekend runs about 250 dollars. Weekly and monthly rates spread the delivery and service cost over more days, so they are the cheaper way to hold a unit.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 150 | 200 | 200 |
| Deluxe flushable | 300 | 250 | n/a |
| ADA accessible | 230 | 185 | n/a |
Those figures cover the unit and routine service. Delivery is billed separately. See the full breakdown on our porta potty rental cost page, or check the per-day rate and the monthly rate if you already know your timeline. Want a firm number?

What kinds of units can I rent?
Start with the standard porta potty. It has a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank and covers most job sites and casual events. Same thing goes by other names, so we also list it as a porta john, a portable toilet and a portable restroom.
Want a nicer porta potty rental? The deluxe flushable unit adds a foot-pump flush and a sink. For a fancy setup at a wedding, a restroom trailer is the step up, and our luxury porta potty rental option has real fixtures inside. Trailers come in a 2-stall, 4-stall and 8-stall, plus a shower trailer when crews stay overnight. Need a wheelchair-accessible unit? Our ADA accessible porta potty meets the 60 inch turning circle in ADA Standards section 304.3.1.
How many porta potties do I need?
For a construction site, OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets one toilet for up to 20 workers, then adds a seat and a urinal per 40 workers past that. A standard unit is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands about 92 inches tall, so plan the footprint before delivery.
Events run on headcount and hours, not the OSHA table. Our how many porta potties do I need guide walks the math, and the OSHA portable toilet requirements page covers job-site rules in full. If you clustered several single units, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent, and never fewer than one, to be accessible. For events specifically, see event restroom rental or the porta potty placement guide.
How often do you service the units?
The baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 is one service visit a week for up to 10 users on a 40 hour week. Heavy traffic gets you more visits. We pump the tank, restock paper and clean the interior on every stop, which is what sets a good porta potty rental company apart.
Service keeps the smell down. Our how often are porta potties cleaned page explains the cycle, and do porta potties smell is honest about what service can and cannot fix. Curious how the tank works?

Handwashing near a food area? Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), soap and towels are required, and a handwashing station covers it.

Do I need a permit to place a porta potty in Columbia?
On private property, usually not. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the City of Columbia before we deliver, and we name no rule here because it is not verified. Our porta potty permit requirements page tracks what we know.
How much notice do you need for delivery?
Standard orders go out fast when a unit is in stock. Give us the date, the address and where the unit sits. For last-minute needs, emergency porta potty rental moves quicker. Tight timelines are easier when the drop spot has clear truck access.
Can I rent other site gear at the same time?
Yes. We run roll-off dumpsters, storage containers, temporary fence and septic pumping. Bundling one delivery window is simpler. A roll-off needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so measure the approach first.
What goes into a construction-site setup?
Toilets sized to OSHA 1926.51(c)(1), a handwashing station, and often a dumpster and fence. Our construction site services page bundles it. Where crews apply herbicides or coatings, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) adds washing facilities on top of the toilets.
How long can I keep a unit?
As long as you need. Short jobs run by the day or weekend. Longer builds and renovations move to a monthly rate, which is the better value. A home renovation porta potty usually runs monthly until the work wraps.
