How much does a porta potty cost per month?
Monthly pricing depends on unit type, how many units you need, and how far Plymouth Porta Pros has to drive. A standard unit sits in the 125 to 325 dollar range per month, while a deluxe flushable unit or an ADA accessible unit costs more because they carry bigger tanks and more hardware. Multi-unit construction jobs and farm sites often negotiate a flat monthly rate that folds in service visits. Delivery is its own line item, typically 120 to 420 dollars for the month, and it depends on how far out the site sits from Plymouth. A job near Minnetonka, 7.2 miles south, costs less to reach than one out toward Eden Prairie, 12.8 miles south. Service frequency matters too. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets a baseline of one service visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, and a heavier crew needs more visits, which can change the monthly quote. Check the monthly cost breakdown and compare it against a per-day rate before you commit to either term.
Why does long term porta potty rental cost less per day?
A long term rental spreads delivery and pickup costs over more days, so the daily rate drops. A single day of standard rental can run up to 350 dollars because that one delivery trip has to cover its own cost. Stretch that same unit over 30 days and the delivery fee gets divided across the whole term, landing the effective daily cost well under 10 dollars in most cases. This is why construction site services in Plymouth almost always book by the month rather than by the week. A dumpster rental follows the same logic: a month of dumpster service runs 91 to 500 dollars, cheaper per day than a single weekend pull at 390 to 497 dollars. If your project runs past 90 days, ask about re-servicing intervals, since a static unit sitting on a busy Plymouth job site fills faster than the standard weekly visit assumes.
What is included in a monthly porta potty rental?
A monthly rental includes the unit, delivery, pickup at the end of the term, and scheduled servicing. Every standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, standing roughly 92 inches tall. That footprint matters when you're siting units near a building entrance or along a fence line, so check the porta potty placement guide before delivery day. Construction crews sizing a job should also read OSHA portable toilet requirements: OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires one toilet for 20 or fewer workers, and one toilet seat plus one urinal per 40 workers once the crew passes 20. Sites doing paint, coating or pesticide work need washing facilities too, per OSHA 1926.51(f)(1), which applies specifically to those contaminant tasks and is not a general handwashing rule. If your crew needs a wash station alongside the toilets, look at a handwashing station rental or portable sink rental added to the same monthly contract.
Can I get an ADA unit or restroom trailer on a monthly term?
Yes, both are available by the month, though pricing runs higher than a standard unit. An ADA accessible porta potty provides the 60 inch turning space and 32 inch door clearance required under ADA Standards 304.3.1 and 404.2.3, and ADA Standards 213.2 requires that at least 5 percent of clustered single-user units be accessible, never fewer than one. Weekly ADA pricing runs 120 to 240 dollars, so a monthly figure typically lands in that same band or slightly above depending on how many units you cluster. A restroom trailer rental is the bigger step up: weekly trailer rates run 150 to 1,650 dollars, and a monthly quote for a 2 stall or 4 stall trailer gets built around that. Events wanting something nicer than a standard unit for a full season should compare the luxury restroom trailer against a cluster of deluxe flushable units before locking in a monthly number.
| Unit type | Weekly rate | Monthly rate |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 130 - 500 | 125 - 325 |
| ADA accessible | 120 - 240 | comparable to weekly, per unit count |
| Deluxe flushable | 150 - 290 | quoted per site |
| Restroom trailer | 150 - 1,650 | quoted per stall count |
FAQ
Is monthly porta potty rental cheaper than weekly?
Almost always, per day. A standard unit's weekly rate runs up to 500 dollars, but the monthly rate tops out around 325 dollars for the whole month, not four times the weekly figure. Delivery gets amortized across more days too. Ask Plymouth Porta Pros for a quote comparing both terms for your job.
How many porta potties does a monthly construction site need?
It depends on crew size. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets one toilet for 20 or fewer workers, scaling up from there. Use the porta potty calculator guide to size a Plymouth job correctly before signing a monthly contract, since undercounting means an added mid-month delivery fee.
Does a monthly rental include cleaning service?
Yes. Monthly terms include scheduled service visits, typically weekly under the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline for up to 10 users. Heavier-use sites in Plymouth may need two visits a week. See how often porta potties are cleaned for how that schedule works day to day.
Can I switch from monthly to weekly mid-contract?
Usually, with notice. Plymouth Porta Pros can adjust term length if your project timeline shifts, though switching mid-month may reset the delivery fee. Compare current weekly and monthly bands before requesting the change so the new number makes sense.
Do farms and rural Plymouth properties get a different monthly rate?
Rate bands are the same, but delivery cost depends on distance. A property well outside Plymouth costs more to reach than one near Minnetonka, 7.2 miles south, or St. Louis Park, 9.1 miles southeast. Farm operations should also check field sanitation rules under OSHA 1928.110.
