Weekend events are delivered Friday and picked up Monday. The extra days cost nothing. A standard unit has hand sanitizer, not a sink. If food is served, add a hand wash station or pick the standard unit with a built-in sink.
What 5 things set the price of a porta potty rental?
Five factors set the price of a porta potty rental: your delivery ZIP, the unit type, your dates and rental length, how often the unit is serviced, and how many units you rent. Change 1 of the 5 factors and the quote changes. Everything else is a fixed line on the quote.
| Price factor | How it changes your quote | What you can do |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Location / ZIP | Whittier ZIPs 90601–90606 are closest to our Hadley St yard. Farther cities may add a same-day fee. | Book 2+ days ahead to avoid same-day fees outside Whittier. |
| 2. Unit type | Standard from $175; deluxe flushing from $265; trailers from $1,195. | Use standard units plus 1 hand wash station for most parties. |
| 3. Dates and length | Events cover up to 3 days. Longer jobs move to 28-day billing. | For jobs under 1 week, ask for the event rate. |
| 4. Servicing | Weekly service is included on long-term rentals. Extra visits are added per unit. | Add a unit instead of extra visits if the crew is steady. |
| 5. Quantity | Each unit is priced on its own line. | Order every unit for one address together, on one truck. |

Is there a same-day delivery fee for a porta potty?
A same-day porta potty delivered to Whittier ZIPs 90601–90606 on a weekday has no same-day fee. Same-day delivery runs Monday through Saturday when you call by 12 noon and a unit is in the yard. Outside Whittier, or on Saturdays, a same-day fee may apply and is shown first.
| Situation | Same-day fee? |
|---|---|
| Whittier ZIP 90601–90606, Monday–Friday, called by noon | No fee |
| Whittier ZIP, Saturday, called by noon | A fee may apply; shown on your quote first |
| Outside Whittier, any day, called by noon | A fee may apply; shown on your quote first |
| Called after noon | No same-day fee: next-day delivery is the normal schedule |
| Booked 2 or more days ahead | No fee |
Drivers call 30 minutes before arrival. We give a morning (7–12) or afternoon (12–5) window, but exact times are not guaranteed. More detail is on our same-day porta potty delivery page.
How does a 28-day billing cycle compare to a calendar month?
A 28-day billing cycle bills a long-term porta potty every 28 days from the delivery date, not on the 1st of each month. A year holds about 13 cycles instead of 12 months. A standard unit from $165 per cycle comes to about $2,145 a year, plus the $60 delivery and pickup charge.
| Question | 28-day cycle | Calendar month |
|---|---|---|
| When does billing start? | On your delivery date | On the 1st (we do not use this) |
| Billing periods per year | About 13 | 12 |
| Same length every time? | Yes, always 28 days | No, 28 to 31 days |
| When does billing stop? | On the pickup date we confirm | — |
| Minimum | One cycle; no contract | — |
Short jobs are different. A 3-day job on the construction rate is still billed one full 28-day cycle: $165 plus $60 delivery, or $225. The event rate for the same unit starts at $175. We quote whichever is lower. Read the 28-day billing cycle explained or see long-term rental options.
How can I save money on a porta potty rental?
Three moves save the most on a porta potty rental: book 2 or more days ahead, use the event rate for jobs under 1 week, and order every unit for one address together. Most parties also save by renting standard units plus 1 hand wash station instead of flushing units.
- Book 2+ days ahead. No same-day fee, and you get the morning or afternoon window you want.
- Event rate for short jobs. A 1- to 6-day remodel is usually cheaper on the event rate than on one 28-day cycle.
- Combine units. Order everything for one address in one booking so it rides on one truck and one itemized quote.
- Right-size the count. Use the planning rule: guests × hours ÷ 250, rounded up. Don't guess high.
- Standard + hand wash station. 2 standard units and 1 station start at $475, less than 2 deluxe flushing units at $530.
- Call for pickup on time. Call by 2 p.m. to schedule pickup. Billing stops on the pickup date we confirm.
Need wheelchair access? A wheelchair-accessible unit starts at $225 for events, only $50 more than a standard unit.
