What is a standard porta potty and what is inside it?
A standard unit sits on a footprint of about 44 by 48 inches and stands roughly 92 inches tall. Inside is a bench seat over a holding tank that carries 60 to 70 gallons of waste. That tank size is why one weekly service usually covers a normal crew. Look at the portable toilet rental page or the older name folks still use, the porta john rental.
Under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, one service visit per week covers up to 10 users on a 40 hour week. We follow that baseline and tell you when a busier site needs a second visit. Curious how the pumping and deodorizing actually works? Read how porta potties work and how often are porta potties cleaned. If odor worries you, do porta potties smell answers it plainly. For cold months, see porta potty in winter.
Do I need a nicer or ADA unit?
Depends on who's using it. For weddings and corporate events, a deluxe flushable porta potty gives you a flush pump and a sink. Step up further to a luxury restroom trailer or a restroom trailer rental when you want climate control and real fixtures.
ADA rules matter on public sites. ADA Standards section 213.2 says where single-user units are clustered, at least 5 percent, and never fewer than one, must be accessible. Our ADA accessible porta potty meets the 60 inch turning circle from ADA Standards section 304.3.1 and the 32 inch door opening from section 404.2.3. The ADA restroom requirements guide covers the rest. For a big fancy setup, look at the 2 stall, 4 stall and 8 stall trailers, or a shower trailer rental for multi-day gatherings.
What does OSHA require on a Portsmouth job site?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the count. One toilet for 20 workers or fewer. From 20 up, one seat and one urinal per 40 workers. At 200 or more, one seat and one urinal per 50. The OSHA portable toilet requirements page lays out the whole table, and the construction site services page bundles it with other gear.
Water and washing rules ride alongside. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) requires potable water at every workplace, and 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) says washing facilities need soap and towels or a dryer, not just sanitizer. A handwashing station rental or a portable sink rental covers that. Crews spraying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides fall under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1), which requires washing facilities for those contaminants. See the handwashing requirements page and, for lower-risk spots, a hand sanitizer station rental. Portsmouth builders often add a roll-off dumpster rental and temporary fence rental to the same order.
Where do you deliver around Portsmouth?
We cover Portsmouth first and reach the nearby towns from there. Chesapeake is 20.5 miles south, Carrollton sits 15.8 miles northwest, and Smithfield is 20.7 miles northwest. See the full map on the service areas page or the dedicated Chesapeake page and Smithfield page.
Placement matters for the truck. A roll-off needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it, and porta potties want firm, level ground per ADA Standards section 302.1. The placement guide and permit requirements page walk through it. Placing a unit in the public right of way in Portsmouth needs confirming with the city first; we name no rule we can't verify. We also handle septic pumping, where a residential tank gets pumped every 3 to 5 years, plus storage containers and event restrooms. Reach us at contact or read the about page.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a porta potty rental near me?
A standard unit runs about $150 a day or $200 a week in Portsmouth, with delivery billed separately, usually near $100 for a week. Nicer flushable and ADA units cost more. See the cost page or grab a firm number at request a quote.
How often do you clean the unit?
Once a week is the baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, which covers up to 10 users on a 40 hour week. Busy sites and events get more frequent service. We pump the 60 to 70 gallon tank, restock and deodorize each visit. More detail sits on how often are porta potties cleaned.
Can I get one delivered same day?
Often yes, when the truck has room and you're inside our Portsmouth range. Emergencies get priority through the emergency porta potty rental page. For disaster response and larger fast setups, see disaster relief sanitation. Call early in the day for the best shot.
Which unit is best for a wedding?
A deluxe flushable unit or a restroom trailer. Guests get a flush and a sink instead of a bench seat. Start with the wedding restroom rental page, then compare the luxury restroom trailer. Festivals and concerts lean on the festival and concert restroom pages.
Do I need a permit in Portsmouth?
For private property, usually not. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city of Portsmouth first, and we won't cite a rule we can't verify. The permit requirements page explains what to check. Dumpsters have their own rules on the dumpster permit page.
