Where can I rent a porta potty in Baltimore?
Right here. Baltimore Porta Pros covers the city and the ring around it, so a unit on a job in Dundalk 8.1 miles east travels the same short run as one going downtown. We handle portable toilet rental for construction, events and home projects, and we service what we drop. Start on the Baltimore porta potty rental page or check the service areas list for your neighborhood. We reach Towson 8.0 miles north, Rosedale 6.8 miles east and Arbutus 7.3 miles southwest. If you are unsure whether we run to your site, contact us and we will tell you straight. We also carry emergency porta potty rental when a plan falls through. For the full picture on who we are, read the about page. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city first. That rule is NOT VERIFIED here, so check the porta potty permit requirements before you set a unit on a sidewalk or street.
What does a porta potty rental cost in Baltimore?
Price depends on the unit and how long you keep it. A standard porta potty rental is the cheapest way in. A deluxe flushable porta potty costs more. A restroom trailer is the top of the range. Below is a plain summary, and the full breakdown lives on the porta potty rental cost page.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 150 | 200 | 200 |
| Deluxe flushable | 300 | 250 | - |
| ADA accessible | 230 | 185 | - |
Weekend rates run their own way. A standard unit over a weekend is around 250 dollars. Want the numbers split out by day or by month? See porta potty rental per day and monthly porta potty rental. Delivery is billed separately. Nobody should quote a portable toilet rental cost without knowing your site.
What are the four porta potty types?
Four units cover almost every job in Baltimore. The standard porta potty suits construction and busy sites; it holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank and stands about 92 inches tall. The deluxe flushable unit adds a foot pump and a sink, good for weddings and offices. The ADA accessible porta potty meets ADA Standards section 404.2.3 with a 32 inch clear door and a 60 inch turning circle under ADA Standards section 304.3.1. A restroom trailer gives you flushing china and running water for high-end events. Same family of gear goes by other names too, so a porta john rental or a portable restroom rental is the same idea. Not sure which fits? The placement guide and the rental checklist both help you decide before you book.
How fast can you deliver?
Most units are on site within a day of a confirmed order. A standard unit sits on a footprint of about 44 by 48 inches, so it fits nearly any corner, but a truck still needs room to work. For a roll-off dumpster drop we need roughly 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, which matters on tight Baltimore rowhouse blocks. Tell us the gate width and the surface. ADA Standards section 302.1 asks for stable, firm and slip resistant ground, and we will not set a unit where it can tip. If a storm or a burst line has you stuck, emergency porta potty rental and emergency septic service both move quick. Overlea is 7.3 miles northeast and Brooklyn Park 7.0 miles south, so suburb runs are short. Need power or light at the same time? Ask about a light tower or a temporary power pole.
How does service work once it is on site?
We swap and clean on a schedule. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit a week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, and that is our default. A tech pumps the tank, refills paper and sanitizer, and wipes the unit down. Read how often porta potties are cleaned for the detail, and do porta potties smell if odor worries you. Heavier traffic means more visits, which is where how many porta potties do I need earns its keep. Handwashing gets its own gear: 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a dryer, and hand sanitizer alone does not meet it. Add a handwashing station or a portable sink to cover that. In cold months, read porta potty in winter. Curious how the mechanism works? See how do porta potties work.
Do construction sites have rules about toilets?
Yes, and OSHA sets them. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then a toilet and a urinal per 40 workers above that, scaling again at 200. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) says potable water must be provided at every workplace too. Where crews apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities on top of that. The OSHA portable toilet requirements page lays out the counts, and construction site services bundles toilets, temporary fencing and a construction dumpster into one order. Baltimore contractors often pair a bank of standard units with a handwashing requirements setup and a storage container for tools. For a home job, a home renovation porta potty is simpler. See the handwashing station requirements for the wash side.
What else do you rent besides toilets?
Plenty, because most Baltimore jobs need more than one thing. We run roll-off dumpsters in 10 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard and 40 yard sizes; check dumpster sizes and dimensions and what cannot go in a dumpster first. We pump septic too. A residential tank gets pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on tank and household size, covered on how often to pump a septic tank and septic pumping service. A grease interceptor is pumped at 25 percent of liquid depth, which is the grease trap pumping job. We also carry temporary fence rental, crowd control barriers, storage containers and mobile office trailers. Watch for septic tank warning signs between visits.
Which events do you cover in Baltimore?
Weddings, festivals, races and fairs, all of it. An event restroom rental scales from a few standard units to a full 8 stall restroom trailer. We do wedding restroom rental with a deluxe flushable porta potty or a luxury restroom trailer, plus festival and concert setups where the crowds are heavy. For runs we handle marathon and race restrooms, and outdoors we do golf tournament restrooms, county fair restrooms and farm and agricultural restrooms. Film crews use film set restroom rental. At a cluster of single-user units, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent, and never fewer than one, to be accessible. A 2 stall or 4 stall trailer suits mid-size guest lists. See restroom trailer rental cost for numbers.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is the cheapest porta potty rental?
A standard unit is the entry price, and you can see the day, week and month figures in the table above. Delivery is billed on top. For a full split by term, the porta potty rental cost page breaks it down, or ask for a quote.
How many toilets do I need for my crew?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets one toilet for up to 20 workers, then adds a urinal as crews grow. Event counts work differently and depend on hours and headcount. Use how many porta potties do I need to size it, then confirm with us.
Do you offer ADA accessible units?
Yes. Our ADA accessible porta potty meets a 32 inch clear door under ADA Standards section 404.2.3 and a 60 inch turning circle under section 304.3.1. At clustered single-user setups, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit. See ADA restroom requirements.
How often do you service a unit?
The baseline is one visit a week per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, sized for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Busy sites get more frequent stops. Every visit pumps the tank, restocks and cleans. More on how often porta potties are cleaned.
Do I need a permit to place a unit?
On private property, usually not. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city, and that rule is NOT VERIFIED on our end, so check before you set anything on a street. The porta potty permit requirements page covers what to ask.
How far outside Baltimore do you deliver?
We run the suburbs daily. Parkville is 7.7 miles northeast, Lansdowne 7.0 miles southwest and Laurel 23.2 miles southwest, the far edge of our range. Check the service areas page or the Baltimore Highlands listing to confirm.
Can you handle both toilets and a dumpster on one order?
Yes, and most contractors do. Bundle a bank of standard units with a roll-off dumpster and temporary fencing through construction site services. One truck run, one invoice. Note a dumpster drop needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck.
