What does a porta potty rental cost in Boulder?
Cost tracks the unit type and how long you keep it. A basic standard porta potty rental runs on the low end. A deluxe flushable porta potty with a foot pump and a sink costs more, and a restroom trailer rental sits at the top. Delivery is billed separately from the unit itself.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $150 | $200 | $200 |
| Deluxe flushable | $250 | $290 | - |
| ADA accessible | $200 | $240 | - |
| Storage container | - | - | $125 |
Weekend event pricing on a standard unit typically lands near $250. Delivery on a weekly rental usually runs $50 to $150. See the full breakdown on our porta potty rental cost page, or check the per day rate if your job is short. For a longer stretch, the monthly porta potty rental is the one to price.
How many porta potties do I need?
Count your people and your hours. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets one toilet for 20 workers or fewer on a construction site, then one seat and one urinal per 40 workers once you pass 20. Events run on headcount and event length instead. Our how many porta potties do I need guide walks the math, and the OSHA portable toilet requirements page covers the code in plain terms.
A standard unit holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank and stands about 92 inches tall, so plan the space before we arrive. If crews are applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities, so add a handwashing station rental or a portable sink rental. For construction site services we can bundle toilets, sinks and a dumpster on one drop. Planning a party or festival? Start with event restroom rental instead.
What kinds of porta potties can I rent?
Plenty of range. A portable toilet rental or porta john rental covers the basic jobsite need. Want something nicer for guests? The deluxe flushable porta potty gives you a flush and a hand pump, and a luxury restroom trailer brings running water, lighting and climate control.
For accessibility, an ADA accessible porta potty meets ADA Standards 213.2, which requires at least 5 percent of clustered units, and never fewer than one, to be accessible. The door clears 32 inches under ADA Standards 404.2.3 and the floor stays firm under ADA Standards 302.1. Larger crowds do better with a 2 stall restroom trailer, a 4 stall restroom trailer or an 8 stall restroom trailer. Need showers on a long job? Ask about the shower trailer rental. See the whole lineup on our portable restroom rental page.
Where can Boulder Porta Pros place a unit?
Most placements are simple. A standard unit needs a flat spot about 44 by 48 inches, firm enough that the tank stays level. Our porta potty placement guide covers ground, access and service reach. If a truck cannot get close, tell us before delivery.
Public right-of-way placement in Boulder needs confirming with the city before we set a unit. We do not have a verified local ordinance number, so check with the City of Boulder on street or sidewalk placement, and we will place it once you have the go-ahead. Our porta potty permit requirements page and the rental checklist help you get ready. We serve the whole city and the towns around it, from Valmont 3.5 miles east to Louisville 9.4 miles southeast and Lafayette 10.1 miles east. The full service areas map lists the rest.
What else can I get delivered with the toilets?
We run more than restrooms. A roll-off dumpster rental handles cleanup, and roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck. Pick a 20 yard dumpster rental for a remodel, or check dumpster sizes and dimensions first. Some materials are off limits, so read what cannot go in a dumpster.
We also do septic pumping service; a residential tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years by tank and household size. For a restaurant, a grease interceptor gets pumped at 25 percent of liquid depth, covered on our grease trap pumping page. Need a barrier or storage? Grab temporary fence rental, a 20ft storage container or a mobile office trailer rental. When the job breaks bad, emergency porta potty rental and emergency septic service move fast.
