What does a porta potty rental cost in Charleston?
Price depends on the unit and how long you keep it. A standard porta potty rental runs different from a deluxe flushable porta potty or a full restroom trailer rental. Here is where the common units land.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $150 | $200 | $200 |
| ADA accessible | $230 | $240 | - |
| Deluxe flushable | $85 | $250 | - |
Weekend rates sit apart from these. A standard unit over a weekend typically runs about $250. For a full breakdown see our porta potty rental cost page, the per day pricing, or monthly porta potty rental if the job runs long. Delivery is a separate line, usually around $150 for a single-unit drop. Want a firm number? Request a quote and we price your address, not an average.
How many porta potties do I need?
Headcount and hours drive the answer. On a jobsite, OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one seat and one urinal per 40 workers past that. Our OSHA portable toilet requirements guide walks the full table, and the how many porta potties do I need page does the math for events.
For a wedding or festival, plan more. Alcohol and long hours push usage up, so a wedding restroom rental or festival restroom rental usually needs extra units and a handwashing station rental nearby. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Push past that and you service more often. See our event restroom rental options or the concert restroom rental page for crowd planning.
Which porta potty is right for my job?
A portable toilet rental covers most needs, but the tier matters. A standard unit is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, with a 60 to 70 gallon tank. That fits a construction site services plan or a home renovation porta potty fine.
Want something nicer? A deluxe flushable unit adds a foot pump and sink. For weddings and upscale events, a luxury restroom trailer or a 4 stall restroom trailer gives real flushing toilets and running water. Larger crowds fit an 8 stall restroom trailer, and smaller ones a 2 stall restroom trailer. If any guest uses a wheelchair, an ADA accessible porta potty is required. ADA Standards section 213.2 says where units are clustered, at least 5 percent and never fewer than one must be accessible. See the ADA restroom requirements guide for the door and turning specs.
Do porta potties smell, and how often are they cleaned?
Smell comes down to service. A unit pumped and restocked on schedule stays livable through Charleston summer heat. We follow the weekly baseline from ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, and we bump it up for heavy use. Our how often are porta potties cleaned page lays out what a service visit covers, and do porta potties smell explains the deodorizer and venting side.
Service means pump the 60 to 70 gallon tank, refill paper, refresh the deodorizer and wipe surfaces. If you want handwashing on site, add a portable sink rental or a hand sanitizer station rental. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), washing facilities need soap and towels or a dryer, and sanitizer alone does not meet that. Where crews apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires actual washing facilities. See handwashing requirements for the details. Curious how the plumbing works?

What else can Charleston Porta Pros deliver to my site?
We do more than toilets. Need to haul debris? A roll-off dumpster rental pairs well with a renovation. A 20 yard dumpster rental suits most homes; heavier jobs take a 30 yard dumpster rental. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so clear the driveway first. Check dumpster sizes and dimensions and what cannot go in a dumpster before you load.
On the septic side, we run septic pumping service and grease trap pumping. A residential tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank and household size, which the how often to pump a septic tank page explains. We also rent temporary fence rental, a storage container rental and a mobile office trailer rental. Placement in the public right of way in Charleston needs confirming with the city; see our porta potty permit requirements page.
