Porta Potty LA

Porta potty rental across Los Angeles County

Portable restrooms rent by the unit and by the week across Los Angeles County.

The three unit types drawn to one scale A standard single unit about four feet square and seven and a half feet tall, an accessible unit about five and a half feet square with a level entry, and below them a towed restroom trailer about sixteen feet long and eleven feet tall, several times the bulk of a single unit. Standard 4 ft × 4 ft, 7½ ft tall 1 per 50 people, 4 hours Accessible 5½ ft × 5½ ft, same height level entry, needs flat ground Restroom trailer 16 ft long, 8 ft wide 11 ft tall with the roof unit needs a tow vehicle and room to turn
A standard single unit, a wheelchair-accessible unit, or a towable restroom trailer with sinks and running water. Three products, three prices, three delivery problems. Which one a job needs is usually settled before anyone asks about price.

The count comes before the price

For an event, the figure used across the industry is roughly one unit per fifty people over four hours, a starting point that assumes no alcohol and a defined end time. Both of those assumptions push the number up when they fail. On a construction site the count follows the crew rather than the calendar, and it needs revisiting when the crew grows rather than after the existing units are overwhelmed.

A quote built on a lower count is a cheaper quote for a worse event. If two numbers differ substantially, check the unit count before you check the price.

Where the quotes actually diverge

Two quotes on the same job can be far apart, and it is almost never the unit itself. Service frequency is the largest single line and the one most often left unstated. Weekly is the default and it is enough on a lightly used unit; on a busy site it is not. Delivery and pickup are charged largely independently of rental length, which is why a four-week rental frequently costs less than twice a two-week one — and why very short bookings look expensive per day.

Areas covered

Before you book

Units staged at a rental yard between jobs. What is on the ground is what decides whether a date can be covered, which is why availability is worth asking about before price when a booking is close.
