A standard porta potty in Thornton runs about $150 for a single day, roughly $200 for a week, and near $200 a month on a construction contract. Delivery, weekly service and pickup are usually separate lines. Deluxe flushable units, ADA models and restroom trailers cost more. The numbers below come from our own price data.
For most jobs the honest answer is a range, not one figure. People ask how much does portable toilet rental cost and there is no single price for portable toilet rental, because the number moves with the unit and the dates. A standard porta potty rental sits at the low end. A deluxe flushable unit or an ADA accessible unit costs more per day. A port o john rental is the same standard toilet under a different name, and a restroom trailer is a different animal entirely. When you rent a porta potty the portable toilet rental cost depends on the unit, how long you keep it, and how far the truck drives. Thornton is close to our yard, so delivery here is short. Northglenn sits 3.0 miles west and Broomfield 8.6 miles west, both quick runs too. If you want the fast version, get a quote with your dates and address.

Weekend rates: a standard unit runs $125 to $400 for the weekend, an ADA unit $199 to $300, and a restroom trailer $900 to $3,000. A standard unit for a single event day lands between $200 and $800. Trailer event pricing runs higher. Read the restroom trailer cost page for that breakdown.
These are separate from the rental itself. Every honest quote breaks them out so you can see what you pay for. Delivery, the weekly service visit and pickup each carry their own charge.
| Fee | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delivery | $100-$500 | $100-$150 | $120-$420 |
| Service | $100-$300 | $100-$220 | $100-$300 |
Pickup is billed with delivery on most single rentals. A standard unit holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank, and ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. That service visit pumps the tank, refills paper and resets the unit. If your crew is larger, you either add units or add visits. Our placement guide covers where the truck needs to reach, and how often units are cleaned explains the service interval in plain terms.
Same unit, different price, and the reason people asking how much portable toilet rental should know is almost always duration, distance or extras. A one-day event rental carries a heavier per-day cost because delivery and pickup happen inside 24 hours. A month-long construction rental spreads those costs across weeks, so the daily number drops. Distance matters. Thornton and Northglenn are short drives; Erie is 14.7 miles northwest and Arvada 18.2 miles southwest, so those runs cost more. Unit type moves the number hard. A deluxe flushable has a foot pump and sink. A restroom trailer needs a 200 amp-class power source and water. Add handwashing stations or a holding tank and the total climbs. See the full cost drivers picture below.
Count your people and your hours, because that sets your unit count and your bill. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires one toilet for up to 20 workers on a construction site, then one seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up, and one per 50 at 200 or more. More units means more rental lines but often a better per-unit rate. Our how many do I need tool walks the math, and the OSHA requirements page lists the ratios. For farm crews, OSHA 1928.110 sets one facility per 20 hand-labor employees within a quarter mile walk, which is why agricultural restrooms get placed differently. Handwashing has its own rule: 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) says stations need soap and towels, and sanitizer alone does not meet it.
A fair quote names the unit, the duration, and every fee on its own line. You should see the rental rate, then delivery, then the weekly service visit, then pickup. No mystery bundle. If a crew is applying herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities on top of the toilet, so that adds a portable sink line. A quote should also state the ADA count if the public uses it: ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of clustered units, never fewer than one, to be accessible. Ask about the service interval and the tank size. A 60 to 70 gallon tank on a busy site fills fast. Compare our cost per day against event pricing before you sign.

Real jobs make the rent porta potty prices concrete, whether you rent a portable restroom for a day or a month. Here are three we quote often around Thornton.
Backyard renovation, one unit, one month. A home renovation job takes one standard unit on a monthly rate, one weekly service visit, and one delivery plus pickup. That is the cheapest way to keep a single toilet on site. See monthly porta potty rental for the rate.
Weekend wedding, 150 guests. A wedding leans on a deluxe flushable unit or a restroom trailer for two days, plus a handwashing station. Weekend premium applies. An event restroom package bundles it.
Construction crew of 30, three months. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) puts that crew at one seat and one urinal per 40, so two standard units plus a handwashing station covers it. Monthly rates keep the per-day cost low. Pair it with a roll-off dumpster and a storage container.
Yes, and the levers are simple. Rent longer to drop the daily rate, since a monthly rental always beats stacking single days. Book early so the truck can bundle your delivery with a nearby run, which keeps portable toilet rental costs down. Place the unit where the service truck reaches it without extra maneuvering; our placement guide shows the clearance. Pick the right unit instead of over-renting: when you rent a porta john or need port o potties for rent, a standard toilet covers most job sites, while a restroom trailer is for higher-end events. Combine services. If you already need a dumpster, a temporary fence, or septic pumping, one delivery window saves fees. For emergency service the rate is higher because timing is tight, so plan ahead where you can. Start on the home page or grab a quote.
A standard porta potty runs $100 to $350 for a single day in Thornton, before delivery and pickup. Single-day rates are higher per day than weekly or monthly because the truck delivers and collects inside 24 hours. See per-day pricing for details.
No. Delivery is a separate line, usually $50 to $150 on a weekly rental and $100 to $500 on a single day. Pickup is typically billed alongside it. A fair quote shows delivery, service and pickup broken out so nothing is hidden.
A standard unit runs $125 to $400 for the weekend, and a standard unit for one event day lands between $200 and $800. ADA units run $199 to $300 for the weekend. See event restroom rental for packages that bundle multiple units.
A restroom trailer costs far more, from $175 to $2,500 a day against $100 to $350 for a standard unit. Trailers need power and water hookups. Read the restroom trailer cost page or compare a 2 stall trailer before choosing.
ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users. The visit pumps the 60 to 70 gallon tank and restocks paper. It is a separate charge from the rental. Heavy use needs more visits; see how often units are cleaned.
If the public uses your site, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of clustered units, never fewer than one, to be accessible. An ADA unit runs $200 to $400 a day. The ADA requirements page covers the specs.
Yes. Delivery cost tracks drive time. Northglenn is 3.0 miles west and Broomfield 8.6 miles west, both short runs. Brighton is 11.3 miles east and Arvada 18.2 miles southwest, so those cost more. Check service areas or your town, like Brighton.
