What Is a Standard Porta Potty?
A standard unit is the plain box you picture when someone says porta potty. It holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank, sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, and stands roughly 92 inches tall. No sink, no flush handle, no lights. That's what keeps it the cheapest option in the portable toilet rental lineup. If you want something dressier, look at the deluxe flushable porta potty, which adds a flush mechanism and a hand rinse. For crews or guests who need a wheelchair-accessible stall, ADA Standards section 304.3.1 calls for a 60 inch turning circle, which is why we run a separate ADA accessible porta potty line rather than retrofitting a standard box. Some people search for a porta john rental or a portable restroom rental and land here anyway. Same unit, different name. Beaverton Porta Pros stocks these by the truckload for weekend parties, month-long builds and everything between, and delivery to most of the city is straightforward once we know your address and site access.
Standard Porta Potty Rental Cost in Beaverton?
Price depends on how long you keep the unit and how many you order. A single day sits between 100 and 350 dollars. A full week runs 130 to 500 dollars, and a month lands between 125 and 325 dollars, which is why longer jobs often cost less per day than a one-off weekend. Weekend rates for a standard unit typically fall between 125 and 400 dollars. A delivery fee applies on top, usually 100 to 500 dollars for a single day or 50 to 150 dollars if billed weekly.
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $100 | $150 | $350 |
| Weekend | $125 | $250 | $400 |
| Week | $130 | $200 | $500 |
| Month | $125 | $200 | $325 |

Do I Need More Than One Standard Unit?
Depends on headcount and how long people are on site. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline for construction sites: one toilet for 20 or fewer workers, then one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers once you pass 20, scaling to one per 50 at 200 or more. That's the number building inspectors and job foremen actually check. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the industry service standard, treats one visit a week as the baseline cleaning interval for up to 10 users across a 40 hour week, so a busy crew or a weekend festival needs either more units or more frequent service, not just a bigger tank. If you're running a farm crew instead of a job site, OSHA 1928.110 covers field sanitation separately, requiring one facility per 20 hand-labor employees within a quarter mile walk. For construction jobs specifically, our construction site services page and the OSHA portable toilet requirements guide go deeper. Homeowners doing a kitchen gut or a roof tear-off usually just need one unit for a few weeks, which is where the home renovation porta potty option comes in.
Where Can I Put a Standard Unit on My Property?
Flat, stable ground close to the work area, away from windows and foot traffic pinch points. ADA Standards section 302.1 requires floor and ground surfaces under an accessible unit to be stable, firm and slip resistant, which matters even if you're only renting one standard unit and one ADA unit for the same job. If you're setting units along a sidewalk or curb in Beaverton, placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery day. Our porta potty placement guide covers clearance, ground prep and service truck access, and the porta potty permit requirements page walks through what to check locally. Renting for a wedding tent in Cedar Hills, 2.3 miles north of central Beaverton, or a backyard build in West Slope, 3.0 miles northeast? Same placement rules apply, and delivery to both is a short run for our trucks. Jobs farther out toward Tigard, about 6.1 miles southeast, or Lake Oswego, 9.3 miles southeast, are still in range, just factor a little more lead time into your delivery window.
Winter jobs need a second look at siting, since frozen ground and ice change how a unit sits and how often it needs service. Check porta potty in winter before you lock in a spot. If your job also involves paint, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that specific exposure, separate from the general toilet count under 1926.51(c). That's a common miss on renovation and landscaping jobs, and it's worth pairing a standard unit with a handwashing station rental if any of those materials are on site. For anything with a hard deadline, our emergency porta potty rental service can usually get a unit out same day.
How much does a standard porta potty rental cost per day in Beaverton?
A single-day rental runs 100 to 350 dollars, with most jobs landing closer to the 150 dollar mark. Multi-day and weekly rentals bring the per-day cost down, so a one-day price isn't a good stand-in for a longer job's total.
What size is a standard porta potty?
About 44 by 48 inches on the ground and roughly 92 inches tall, with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank. It's built to fit tight job sites and small yards without eating up much space.
How often does a standard unit get serviced?
ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets a baseline of one service visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Busier sites or events need more frequent pumping, which we scope out before delivery.
Can I rent just one standard porta potty for a weekend event?
Yes. A weekend rental for a standard unit typically runs 125 to 400 dollars, plus a delivery fee. One unit works fine for smaller gatherings; bigger events should check event restroom rental for guidance on unit counts.
Is a standard unit enough for a construction crew?
It depends on crew size. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, so a small crew is often covered by a single standard unit, while larger crews need additional units as headcount climbs.
