How Much Does a Porta Potty Cost Per Month?
Porta potty rental cost per month for a standard unit runs $125 to $325, with $200 as the typical price most Beaverton crews land on, and porta potty rental cost per month near me will land in that same band once delivery distance is factored in. Deluxe flushable models climb higher because they need more frequent pumping and cleaning and carry a bigger tank load. ADA units run separately, and pricing there depends on whether you need one unit or a cluster meeting ADA Standards section 213.2, which requires at least 5 percent of clustered single-user units to be accessible. Delivery adds $120 to $420 for the month depending on distance and access. A site in Cedar Hills, 2.3 miles north of central Beaverton, costs less to service than one out past Lake Oswego, 9.3 miles southeast. Here's how the monthly numbers stack up against shorter terms:
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | 100 | 150 | 350 |
| week | 130 | 200 | 500 |
| month | 125 | 200 | 325 |
Notice the week and month bands nearly overlap. That's the long-term discount doing its job: renting by the porta potty rental per day rate for four weeks straight would cost far more than one flat monthly rate.

Why Is Long Term Porta Potty Rental Cost Cheaper Per Day?
Because you're paying for a route, not a rush trip. When Beaverton Porta Pros can plan a weekly service stop into a driver's regular loop, the marginal cost per visit drops. A one-day rental means a special delivery and a special pickup, both charged as standalone trips with a $100 to $500 delivery fee attached. A month-long placement spreads that overhead across four or more service visits instead of one. Service frequency itself follows ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the industry baseline of one visit per week for up to 10 users across a 40 hour week. High-traffic sites need more visits, but the standard is the starting point most monthly contracts are built around. This is also why long term portable toilet rental makes more sense for renovation projects, farm operations, and multi-month builds than booking week to week and hoping nothing changes. If your job runs unpredictable, an emergency porta potty rental can fill gaps between contract terms without breaking the monthly agreement.
What Affects Monthly Porta Potty Rental Cost Near Me?
Unit count, unit type, and how many workers are on site drive the price more than anything else. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the ratio: one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers as the crew grows past that, and one per 50 once you're at 200 or more. A 15-person crew needs one unit for the month. A 45-person crew needs two, which doubles your monthly line item fast. Standard units carry a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank and stand about 92 inches tall on a 44 by 48 inch footprint, so placement matters on tight urban lots common around Beaverton. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) also requires potable water on site, which is why many monthly contracts bundle in a handwashing station rental rather than treating it as an afterthought. Farm operations fall under different rules: OSHA 1928.110 requires field sanitation facilities within a quarter mile walk for hand-labor employees, one per 20 workers, which changes how you count units across a spread-out property. Site access counts too. A roll-off dumpster rental delivered alongside your restroom order needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and if your driveway can't give that, expect a placement conversation before the first delivery.
Do I Need a Permit for Long Term Portable Toilet Placement?
Maybe, and it depends on where the unit sits. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery day. We don't guess at Beaverton's permit rules on this page, because they vary by parcel and by whether the unit sits on private property or spills onto a sidewalk or street. Check our porta potty permit requirements guide before you commit to a site plan, especially for jobs near Cedar Hills or West Slope, 3.0 miles northeast, where lot lines and street frontage get tight. If the job includes fencing, our temporary fence rental page covers similar placement questions, since fence panels and restroom units often share the same permit conversation with the city. For events rather than construction, see event restroom rental for guidance specific to gatherings instead of job sites.
How many porta potties do I need for a month-long job?
Depends on crew size. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets one unit per 20 workers as the floor. A 12-person crew needs one standard unit for the month; a 25-person crew needs two. See how many porta potties do I need for a full breakdown by headcount and hours worked.
Is a deluxe flushable unit worth it for a monthly rental?
For office staff or long-duration residential renovation, often yes. Deluxe units flush and typically include a sink, which matters more over 30 days than over a weekend. Check deluxe flushable porta potty pricing against your crew's comfort expectations before deciding.
Can I switch from monthly to weekly rental mid-contract?
Yes, most contracts allow it with notice. Pricing shifts to the weekly band, currently $130 to $500 depending on unit type. Talk to your route driver or call ahead so the service schedule adjusts before your next pickup.
Does monthly rental include cleaning and pumping?
Yes. Standard monthly agreements include scheduled service visits, typically weekly, covering pumping, restocking, and cleaning consistent with the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline. Heavier-use sites can add visits for an extra fee if the standard interval isn't keeping up.
What's the difference between monthly rental and long-term contract pricing?
Monthly rental is billed and renewed each month at the standard rate. A long-term contract locks in that rate across a defined project timeline, useful for multi-month builds. Ask about construction site services bundling if you need dumpsters or fencing alongside restrooms.
