What Is a Standard Porta Potty?
A standard unit is the base model in portable toilet rental fleets. It's about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, so it fits in a driveway, a construction fence line, or a tight side yard without eating up much space. Inside, you get a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank, a toilet seat, and hand sanitizer. No sink, no flush, no lighting. That's what separates it from the deluxe flushable porta potty, which adds a foot pump flush and a larger interior. If you're comparing options for a home project, home renovation porta potty rentals usually run standard units unless the crew is on site for months. Contractors managing a full construction site services package often pair a few standard units with a handwashing station rental to cover both OSHA's toilet and water requirements at once. For events, standard units also work as budget-friendly overflow next to a restroom trailer rental or a cluster of event restroom rental units.
How Much Does a Standard Porta Potty Rental Cost?
Price depends on term length and how many units you need delivered at once. Here's what Glendale customers are actually paying, based on measured rental data across the market:
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $100 | $150 | $350 |
| Week | $130 | $200 | $500 |
| Weekend | $125 | $250 | $400 |
| Month | $125 | $200 | $325 |
| Event | $200 | $400 | $800 |
Delivery is usually billed separately, typically 100 to 500 dollars for a single drop depending on distance and access. For a deeper breakdown of what drives the total, see porta potty rental cost or porta potty rental per day if you're renting for a short job. Multi-month projects should look at monthly porta potty rental pricing instead, since long-term rates drop once you're past 30 days. If you're weighing a standard unit against a nicer option, deluxe flushable porta potty pricing runs higher but includes a flush mechanism worth it for office staff or longer events.
How Many Standard Porta Potties Do I Need?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline for construction crews: one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers once you pass 20, dropping to one per 50 workers at 200 or more employees. That ratio is the starting point for any Glendale job site, whether it's a home addition or a commercial build. If your crew works with paints, coatings, or pest control chemicals, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) also requires washing facilities for that specific exposure, which is a separate requirement from general toilet counts. For events instead of job sites, headcount and hours matter more than worker ratios; our how many porta potties do I need guide walks through both scenarios. Farm operations have their own rule: OSHA 1928.110 requires field sanitation for hand-labor employees, one facility per 20 workers, reachable within a quarter mile walk, which matters for growers scheduling farm and agricultural restrooms. If your site needs an accessible option in the mix, ADA Standards 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit, and never less than 5 percent, whenever single-user toilets are clustered together; that's covered in our ada-accessible porta potty page.

How long can I rent a standard porta potty?
There's no fixed limit. Day rentals work for one-off projects, weekly rates suit short jobs, and monthly terms fit ongoing construction. Longer terms cost less per day than short ones, so a 30-day rental is more efficient than four separate weekly bookings for the same stretch of work in Glendale.
Does a standard porta potty include hand sanitizer?
Yes, standard units ship with a hand sanitizer dispenser built in. That's different from a handwashing station with soap and running water, which 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires for certain workplaces. If your site needs compliant handwashing, pair the toilet with a portable sink rental.
What's the difference between standard and deluxe units?
Standard units have no flush and a basic interior. Deluxe units add a foot-pump flush and more room. Deluxe rentals run 85 to 1200 dollars a day depending on features, versus 100 to 350 for standard. See deluxe flushable porta potty for specs.
Do I need a permit to place a porta potty in Glendale?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city; we haven't verified a specific permit rule here. Check porta potty permit requirements before locating a unit on a street or sidewalk in Glendale.
How often is a standard porta potty serviced?
The industry baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 is one service visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. High-traffic events or larger crews need more frequent visits; see how often are porta potties cleaned for details.
