What does a porta potty rental in Ellicott City cost?
Price depends on the unit and how long you keep it. A standard porta potty rental runs on a day, week or month rate. Fancier units cost more because they flush. Our deluxe flushable porta potty is the step up when you want a nicer setup without a full trailer. For a full breakdown, see our porta potty rental cost page or ask for a quote.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $150 | $200 | $200 |
| Deluxe flushable | $250 | $290 | - |
| ADA accessible | $200 | $240 | - |
Delivery is billed on top. A short-term event rate sits higher than a plain daily. Weekend standard units run about $250 in prose terms, not on the table. Compare the per day and monthly rental options before you book.
What is included with the rental?
Every rental includes drop-off, setup and pickup. It also includes weekly service, which is the baseline interval under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons in the tank, so it handles a busy day without trouble. A portable toilet rental sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, which matters when you plan clearances. Read our placement guide before delivery day.
We stock the whole line. That means the portable restroom rental, the porta john rental, and units for events through our event restroom rental page. Need soap and towels beside the toilet? 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand dryer, and hand sanitizer alone does not meet it. Add a handwashing station rental or a portable sink rental.
How many porta potties do I need?
That depends on headcount and hours. For a jobsite, OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets one facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one seat and one urinal per 40 workers above that. We walk you through it on the how many porta potties do I need guide and the OSHA portable toilet requirements page.
Events run on different math. A wedding needs more polish than a framing crew. Look at our wedding restroom rental, festival restroom rental, and concert restroom rental pages for headcount ranges. A marathon and race restrooms setup spreads units along the route. If you host a crowd on ADA terms, ADA Standards section 213.2 says at least 5 percent of clustered single-user units, and never fewer than one, must be accessible. That is why an ADA accessible porta potty belongs on most public jobs. See our ADA restroom requirements page too.
Do I need a permit to place a unit?
If the unit sits on your own property, usually not. If it goes in the public right of way, in a street or on a sidewalk in Ellicott City, that placement needs confirming with the city first. We do not name a rule here because the local ordinance is not verified in our records. Check with Howard County before you set anything on public ground, and read our porta potty permit requirements page.
Ground matters as much as paperwork. ADA Standards section 302.1 calls for a stable, firm and slip-resistant surface, so we look for level ground on delivery. An accessible route needs 36 inches of clear width under ADA Standards section 403.5.1. Planning a big job? Bundle the toilets with a roll-off dumpster rental, a temporary fence rental, or a storage container rental so one delivery covers the site. Our construction site services page ties it together.
What else can Ellicott City Porta Pros bring to the site?
More than toilets. We run septic pumping service for tanks and a grease trap pumping route for kitchens; a grease interceptor gets pumped when grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. A home septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, which we cover on the how often to pump a septic tank page.
We deliver dumpsters too. A roll-off needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so we check the approach first. Size it with the dumpster sizes and dimensions guide, or jump to the 20 yard dumpster rental or 30 yard dumpster rental. For upscale events, a restroom trailer rental or luxury restroom trailer beats a single unit. We serve nearby towns as well: Columbia is 7.4 miles south and Catonsville is 6.4 miles east, both listed on our service areas page. Have an urgent gap? Call our emergency porta potty rental line.
