A standard porta potty in Carson runs about 150 dollars for a single day, roughly 200 dollars for a week, and around 200 dollars a month on a longer contract. Delivery, weekly service and pickup are billed on top. Event units, deluxe flushable models and ADA toilets cost more. If you want to know how much a portable toilet rental costs before you call, below is the full price picture from Carson Porta Pros.
Portable toilet rental cost depends on the unit and how long you keep it, and the price for a portable toilet rental moves with both. A basic jobsite toilet is the cheapest thing we drop. A deluxe flushable unit costs more because it has a flush pump and a sink. An ADA accessible toilet is a wheelchair unit built to ADA Standards section 304.3.1, which calls for a 60 inch turning circle inside. That extra footprint is part of the cost.
When people ask how much portable toilet rental runs, our standard porta potty covers most jobs and sets the baseline. It holds 60 to 70 gallons in the tank and sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground. For a party or wedding, an event restroom or a restroom trailer changes the math. See the full cost breakdown below, or ask for a written quote with no surprises.
Here are the rent porta potty prices we quote in Carson, so you can see portable toilet rental costs at a glance. Weekend is a premium short-term rate, so I have kept it out of the table and put those figures in prose underneath. Delivery, service and pickup are separate lines because they always are.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 100 - 350 | 130 - 500 | 125 - 325 |
| Deluxe flushable | 85 - 1200 | 150 - 290 | ask |
| ADA accessible | 200 - 400 | 120 - 240 | ask |
| Restroom trailer | 175 - 2500 | 150 - 1650 | ask |
| Delivery fee | 100 - 500 | 50 - 150 | 120 - 420 |
| Service fee | 100 - 300 | 30 - 220 | 100 - 300 |
A standard weekend runs about 125 to 400 dollars. An ADA weekend sits near 199 to 300. A restroom trailer weekend can reach 900 to 3000 depending on stalls. Compare the per day rate against a monthly plan before you decide.
Three things move the number when you rent a porta john. Unit type first. A port o john rental is one price, a flushable deluxe is another, and a restroom trailer with running water is a different category. Second is duration. A day rate looks high per day, but a monthly rental spreads delivery and pickup across weeks, so the daily cost drops.
Third is service. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit a week as the baseline for up to 10 users on a 40 hour week. More users or more traffic means more visits, and each visit is billed. Distance matters too. Carson is our home base, but a drop in Signal Hill 7.1 miles southeast or Lawndale 9.7 miles northwest carries a longer haul. See how often units get cleaned for the service side.
Delivery covers the truck, the driver and placement. A roll-off dumpster needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, but a porta potty needs far less, so placement is usually simple. We set the unit, level it and stock it. That is the delivery line.
Service is the weekly visit. We pump the tank, refill paper and sanitizer, and clean the interior. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a dryer at washing stations, so if you add a handwashing station we keep it stocked. Hand sanitizer alone does not meet that rule. Pickup is the final removal at the end of the term. Some companies hide these in one number. We break them out so you can see the real cost of each piece. Read our rental checklist before you book.
Events price differently because they run short and hit hard. A standard unit booked as an event runs 200 to 800 dollars for the day, since we build in extra stocking and often a same-day pump. A wedding restroom usually means a flushable deluxe or a trailer, not a basic jobsite box, and portable restrooms rental cost climbs with the nicer unit.
For a festival or concert, count your crowd and your hours. Our how many do I need guide walks the math. A marathon or race needs units spread along the course, and a golf tournament needs them at the turn. A trailer event package runs 2499 to 3899 dollars, which covers a multi-stall 4 stall unit with sinks. Ask about an 8 stall trailer for larger crowds.
OSHA sets the floor. 1926.51(c)(1) requires one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one seat and one urinal per 40 workers above 20, and one per 50 at 200 or more. That ratio drives your construction site order and your total cost. Underorder and you fail an inspection. Overorder and you pay for empty units.
If your crew applies paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, 1926.51(f)(1) also requires washing facilities for those contaminants. That means a portable sink, not just sanitizer. Potable water is required under 1926.51(a)(1). Our OSHA requirements page lays out the counts, and the construction dumpster pairs well with a jobsite toilet. Most Carson jobsites also add temporary fencing.
A fair quote names the unit, the term, the number of service visits, and the delivery and pickup as separate lines. If a price looks too low, one of those pieces is missing and it will show up later. Ask for it in writing. A request a quote form or a call gets you there.
Watch the ordering. A week should never cost less than a day at the same unit, and a month should never cost less than a week. If a quote breaks that, question it. For a longer look at per day pricing, the monthly option, or trailer cost, we have pages for each. Placement questions go on our placement guide. Right of way placement in Carson needs confirming with the city first.
Scenario one, a home bathroom remodel. One standard unit for a month, one weekly service, one delivery and one pickup. That is a home renovation job and the cheapest way to run it. Our monthly rate applies.
Scenario two, a backyard wedding of 120 guests in Carson. Two deluxe flushable units plus one ADA unit to meet ADA Standards section 213.2, which requires at least 5 percent accessible and never fewer than one. Add a handwash station.
Scenario three, a 30 worker jobsite for three months. Two standard toilets under 1926.51(c)(1), weekly service on each, and a 10 yard dumpster. Add a storage container if tools stay overnight. See service areas for coverage.
The cheapest option is a single standard unit on a monthly term, which spreads delivery and pickup across the longest window. Day rentals look cheaper per line but cost more per day once you add the trip fees. Ask for the monthly rate.
The weekly service visit includes both. We pump the 60 to 70 gallon tank, restock paper and clean the interior. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one visit a week as the baseline for up to 10 users. Heavier use needs more visits, billed per visit. See how often we clean.
Delivery in Carson runs on the fee bands in the table. A haul out to Lomita 7.7 miles southwest or East Rancho Dominguez 7.0 miles northeast carries a longer trip. West Carson is closer at 4.8 miles. Distance sets the fee.
Usually, yes. The ADA unit is larger to hold the 60 inch turning circle under ADA Standards section 304.3.1 and the 32 inch clear door under section 404.2.3. That size costs more to build and haul. See the ADA restroom requirements page for the full spec.
A restroom trailer has running water, flush toilets and sinks, so it costs several times a basic toilet. A trailer weekend can reach into the thousands. A standard toilet is a fraction of that. Match the unit to the event, not the other way around, whether you rent a portable restroom or a full trailer.
Emergency and same-day work carries a premium because we reroute a truck to you. Weekend service fees run higher than weekday for that reason. For storm cleanup or disaster relief, call our emergency line. We also handle emergency septic on short notice.
Yes. A standard weekend runs about 125 to 400 dollars, which covers drop Friday and pickup Monday with the unit stocked. Plenty of folks looking for port o potties for rent pick this window, and it is the common choice for a camping trip, a county fair or a film set. Book early on busy weekends.
