A standard porta potty in Southfield runs about 150 dollars a day, 200 for a weekend, and 200 a month on a longer rental. Delivery, weekly service and pickup are usually separate lines. Deluxe flushable units, ADA models and restroom trailers cost more. Below is the full portable toilet rental cost breakdown so you can price your job before you call.
Here in Southfield the number depends on the unit and how long you keep it. A basic standard porta potty rental is the cheapest way in, and rent porta potty prices climb from there. A deluxe flushable porta potty costs more because it has a foot pump and a sink. An ADA accessible porta potty is wider and sits lower for wheelchair users, meeting ADA Standards section 404.2.3 at a 32 inch clear door opening. If you want the full picture of what a portable toilet rental involves, including how much a porta potty rental really runs, start at the home page and work down. Most people rent one standard unit for a weekend job, one or two for a longer home renovation porta potty project, and a restroom trailer rental for weddings.

A standard unit for a Saturday event runs about 250 for the weekend. When you rent a portable restroom in a deluxe flushable unit or a 2 stall restroom trailer, portable toilet rental costs climb fast. For event pricing, see event restroom rental and the restroom trailer rental cost page.
Three things move the number. Unit type first. A standard porta potty sits at one end and a luxury restroom trailer at the other. Duration second: a day, a weekend, a week or a full month each price differently, and a longer rental never costs less per week than a shorter one. Distance third. We are central here in Southfield, but a run out to Bloomfield at 8.9 miles north or West Bloomfield at 11.7 miles northwest adds drive time to the delivery fee. Access matters too. A roll-off dumpster rental needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and a restroom trailer needs a level pad and power. Tight sites take longer. See the porta potty placement guide before you pick a spot.
A fair quote names the unit, the rental window, and every fee. Delivery, weekly service and pickup should each appear as a line, not hide inside one round number. Service means the pump-out and restock. The baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 is one visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. If your crew is bigger, you need more visits, and that shows on the invoice. Ask what the standard unit holds: ours run a 60 to 70 gallon tank. A quote for a portable restroom rental should name the portable restrooms rental cost in full and say whether it includes hand sanitizer or a separate handwashing station rental. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), a real washing station needs soap and towels, and hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy that. Read the full porta potty rental checklist so nothing surprises you. Our contact page has the direct line.
Construction pricing is driven by headcount and OSHA. Under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1), you need one toilet for up to 20 workers, then one seat and one urinal per 40 workers above that, and one per 50 at 200 or more. So a 30 person crew needs two units minimum. That is the count, not the cost, but count sets the cost. Most contractors rent a porta john by the month, using our port o john rental, and add a handwashing station beside them; port o potties for rent by headcount keep the bill simple. If your crew is applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for those operations specifically. Pair the toilets with a construction dumpster rental and a storage container rental and you have one bill for the whole construction site services package. Figuring the count is easiest on the how many porta potties do I need page. Potable water is required too under OSHA 1926.51(a)(1).
Here are three worked scenarios so the numbers feel real.
A backyard wedding for 120 guests in Southfield: one deluxe flushable unit and one ADA unit for the weekend, plus a handwashing station rental. Delivery and pickup are one line each. Budget the weekend rate plus fees. See wedding restroom rental.
A kitchen remodel: one standard unit by the month, one weekly service visit, and a 10 yard dumpster rental for the debris. That is the home renovation porta potty combo.
A 40 person framing crew: two standard units, monthly, with weekly service and a temporary fence rental around the lot. Add septic pumping service if there is a holding tank on site.
Book as early as you can lock the date. Events fill fast around Southfield in summer, and a festival restroom rental or concert restroom rental order in peak weeks needs lead time. Weekend delivery carries a premium: expect a delivery charge around 200 for a weekend drop versus the weekday rate. Payment is usually a deposit at booking and the balance on delivery. For a monthly porta potty rental, you pay per billing cycle with service included. An emergency porta potty rental can go out same day when we have stock, and disaster relief sanitation moves faster still. Standard units stand about 92 inches tall and sit on a footprint of roughly 44 by 48 inches, so confirm your gate clears before the truck rolls. Serving Southfield and nearby Oak Park, 4.9 miles east. Check the full service areas list.
On a monthly bill the unit rent is only part of it. The service line covers the weekly pump-out and restock, which keeps the 60 to 70 gallon tank from filling. That is why a longer rental with more visits costs more overall than a short one, even though the daily unit rate is lower. Delivery and pickup are one-time charges at each end. If you add a portable sink rental or a hand sanitizer station rental, those are separate lines too. For septic customers, a residential tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on tank and household size, and a septic tank pumping cost is quoted per visit, not monthly. Compare that with the dumpster rental cost and storage container rental cost if you are bundling. Full monthly detail lives on the monthly rental page. Ask us on contact.
A standard unit runs 100 to 350 for a day in Southfield, before delivery and pickup. That is the price for portable toilet rental at the low end, and the spread reflects unit type and access. See the per day breakdown or ask on the quote page for your exact address.
Usually no. Delivery is its own line, from about 100 to 500 for a single day drop and 50 to 150 within a week rental. It scales with distance, so a run to Redford at 7.6 miles south costs more than a local Southfield drop.
A lot more. A restroom trailer rental runs 175 to 2500 a day against 100 to 350 for a standard unit. Trailers have flushing toilets, sinks and climate control. See the 4 stall restroom trailer and 8 stall restroom trailer pages.
Yes, a little. ADA units run 200 to 400 a day because they are wider and lower. Under ADA Standards section 213.2, at least 5 percent of clustered units, never fewer than one, must be accessible. Details on the ADA accessible porta potty page.
Weekly is the baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, one visit per week for up to 10 users. Bigger crews or events need more visits, and each visit shows on the bill. See how often are porta potties cleaned.
Count guests and hours. A rough start is one unit per 50 to 100 people for a short event, more as hours climb. For construction, OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the ratio. Use the how many do I need tool.
Sometimes. An emergency porta potty rental can ship same day when we have stock in Southfield. Weekend drops carry a premium delivery charge near 200. Call the contact line early and we will tell you what is on the truck.
