How much does a porta potty rental cost in Saint George?
A standard unit is the baseline, and it's what most people mean when they ask about porta potty rental prices and portable restrooms rental cost. Day rates sit around $150. A weekend runs closer to $250 because short-term rates carry a premium. A monthly rental spreads the cost, so the per-day figure drops the longer you keep it. Delivery, service, and pickup are usually billed as separate lines, not folded into the unit rate. That trips people up. A cheap unit rate with a fat delivery fee can cost more than the reverse.

Ask for the per-day breakdown if your job is short.
What does a portable toilet rental cost by unit type?
Prices depend on what you rent. A basic standard porta potty is the cheapest, and it's what most callers mean when they want to rent a porta john or find port o potties for rent. A deluxe flushable unit with a sink and foot pump costs more. An ADA accessible unit is built wider for wheelchair access and prices differently again. A restroom trailer is a different animal entirely.
| Unit type | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $150 | $200 | $200 |
| Deluxe flushable | $250 | $290 | (ask) |
| ADA accessible | $200 | $240 | (ask) |
| Restroom trailer | $800 | $1,397 | (ask) |
Weekend rates sit apart from the day-week-month ladder. A standard unit over a weekend runs about $250, and an ADA unit about $240 for the weekend. A restroom trailer over a weekend can reach $2,000. The deluxe line for port o john rental fits weddings and nicer events. When you want to rent a portable restroom, see the portable restroom options for the middle ground.
What are the delivery, service, and pickup fees?
These are separate lines, and a fair quote shows them plainly. Delivery covers the drop. Service is the weekly clean-out and restock. Pickup is the haul-away at the end. Skip these and the headline unit price means nothing.
| Fee line | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delivery | $100 | $120 | $172 |
| Service | $100 | $120 | $150 |
Pickup is often bundled with delivery as a round trip, so ask how yours is billed. Service frequency follows ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, which sets one visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40-hour week. Heavy use needs more. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), a washing facility needs soap and towels or a dryer, so a handwashing station adds a line too. A portable sink is the common add-on. The cost page for dumpsters works the same way if you're pricing a whole job site.
Why does the price change so much?
Three things move the number. Unit type is the biggest lever, and a luxury trailer can cost ten times a standard unit. Rental length is the second. Daily rates look high, but a monthly rental drops the effective day rate because delivery and pickup get spread across more days. The third is service frequency. A busy construction site or a festival needs more clean-outs than one weekend at home. Distance matters too. We're centered in Saint George, and a run out to Hurricane is 18.1 miles east, so a far drop can carry more delivery cost than a close one in Washington, 7.8 miles northeast. A standard unit holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank, and once it fills, you pay for extra service whether you planned it or not. The placement guide helps you avoid a bad spot that slows the truck.
How many units do you need, and what does that cost?
OSHA sets the floor on job sites. Under OSHA 1926.51(c), you need one toilet for up to 20 workers, then a toilet and a urinal per 40 workers above that. So a 40-person crew needs two units, and the cost doubles from the single-unit rate. For events, headcount and event length drive it, and our how many do I need tool walks the math. A wedding for 150 over four hours is different from a marathon running all day. Clustered units also trigger accessibility: ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of a cluster be accessible, and never fewer than one. That means even a small event restroom setup usually needs one ADA unit in the mix. Budget for it early. The rental checklist keeps the count honest. A golf tournament spread over 18 holes needs units at more than one spot.
What does a fair quote look like in Saint George?
A fair quote names every line. Unit type and rate. Delivery. Service frequency and rate. Pickup. Any ADA unit the job requires. Taxes. If a vendor gives you one lump number with no breakout, ask them to split it. You can't compare two vendors on a single blended figure. Placement in the public right of way, like a street or sidewalk in Saint George, may need confirming with the city before drop, and we can't quote a permit rule here because that varies. Check with the city directly, and our permit requirements page explains what to ask. A quote should also state the tank size, and a standard unit runs a 60 to 70 gallon tank, so you know how long it lasts between the weekly service that ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets as baseline. Get it in writing. Then request your quote or call us with your dates.
Are there worked cost scenarios I can compare?
Yes. Three common jobs, priced by the lines that matter. Numbers pull from the rate tables above so you can see how they stack.
Backyard remodel, one month. One standard unit for a home renovation at the monthly rate near $200, plus a delivery fee around $172 and monthly service near $150. One unit covers a small crew fine under OSHA 1926.51(c).
Weekend wedding, 120 guests. Two deluxe flushable units plus one ADA unit for the cluster rule, plus a handwashing station to meet the soap-and-towel standard in 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2). Weekend rates and a single delivery.
40-person job site, ongoing. Two standard units at the monthly rate, weekly service on each, and one ADA unit. Add a roll-off dumpster and the whole site cost climbs.
Can I save money on a portable toilet rental?
You can. Rent longer and the per-day cost falls, so a monthly rate beats stacking weekend rentals. Pick the right unit: a standard toilet does most jobs, and you don't always need a deluxe unit. Group your drops so one delivery run covers everything, which cuts the delivery line. Place units where the truck reaches them easily, since a hard spot can add service time. If you're pairing with a storage container or temporary fence, bundle the order. We serve Saint George and nearby towns like Santa Clara, 7.0 miles northwest, and Ivins, 10.2 miles northwest, so a close drop keeps delivery lean. For a big cleanup, price a dumpster at the same time. And if you run septic instead of city sewer, a residential tank gets pumped every 3 to 5 years, so fold that into your yearly budget.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a porta potty cost per day?
A standard unit runs about $150 a day in Saint George, plus a delivery fee near $150. Short jobs pay more per day than long ones because delivery and pickup don't shrink. See the per-day page for the full breakdown.

No. Delivery, service, and pickup are usually separate lines. Delivery runs about $150 for a single drop. Always ask for a quote with every line shown, since a low unit rate can hide a high delivery fee. Our quote page itemizes it.

A lot more. A restroom trailer runs around $800 a day against roughly $150 for a standard unit. Trailers have flush toilets, sinks, and climate control. For a weekend, a trailer can reach $2,000. See the trailer cost page.
Do I need an ADA unit, and what does it add?
If units are clustered, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit, or 5 percent of the cluster. An ADA unit runs about $230 a day. Most events and job sites need at least one, so budget for it.
How much does a monthly porta potty rental cost?
A standard unit runs about $200 a month, which is the best value for long jobs since the delivery and pickup fees spread across more days. Weekly service is billed separately. The monthly rental page has the details.
What makes one quote higher than another?
Unit type, rental length, service frequency, and drop distance. A deluxe costs more than a standard. More clean-outs cost more. A far drop out toward Hurricane, 18.1 miles east, can carry more delivery than a close one in Saint George.
How many porta potties do I need for an event?
It depends on headcount and hours. OSHA sets job-site floors under OSHA 1926.51(c), and events scale with guests. A rough start is one unit per 50 guests for a few hours. Use our count guide for your numbers.
