What does a porta potty rental cost in Ann Arbor?
Price depends on the unit and how long you keep it. A standard unit is the workhorse for a job site or a backyard project. A deluxe flushable porta potty costs more because it has a foot pump and a sink. Delivery and service get billed on top. Here are the standard bands.
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $100 | $150 | $350 |
| Week | $130 | $200 | $500 |
| Month | $125 | $200 | $325 |
Longer rentals lower the per-day math. A weekend standard unit runs about $250 when you need it Friday to Monday. Want the full breakdown? See our porta potty rental cost page, the per-day pricing, or the monthly rental option. For a firm number, request a quote.
Which porta potty rental should you pick?
Match the unit to the crowd. A standard porta potty rental handles construction and everyday use. It runs on a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank and stands about 92 inches tall, so give it headroom. For a wedding or a nicer event, a deluxe flushable unit reads better and stays fresher between services. Need the fancy end? A luxury restroom trailer has real stalls, sinks and climate control. We also stock ADA accessible units, which ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at a rate of at least 5 percent of clustered units, never fewer than one. Some folks call these a porta john, a portable toilet or a portable restroom. Same thing, different name. If you are not sure which fits, our rental checklist walks you through it, and the placement guide covers where to set it.
How many units does an Ann Arbor job site need?
Start with headcount. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets one toilet for up to 20 workers, then one seat and one urinal per 40 workers as the crew grows past 20. A 200-person site needs a seat and urinal per 50 workers. Our how many porta potties do I need tool runs the count for you, and the OSHA requirements page cites the table in full. For an event, the math is different because everyone shows up at once. See the event restroom guide for that. If crews handle paints or coatings, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) triggers washing facilities, so add a handwashing station or a portable sink. Those need soap and towels under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2); sanitizer alone does not satisfy it. Building in Ann Arbor? The construction site services page bundles toilets, temporary fencing and a storage container.
How often do you service the units?
Once a week is the baseline. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40-hour week, and that is where we start. Heavy use gets more visits. A service tech pumps the tank, refills paper, and cleans the interior so it does not turn sour between stops. We field questions about this a lot, so the how often are porta potties cleaned page spells out the process, and do porta potties smell answers the one everybody wonders about. Cold months change things too; the porta potty in winter page covers what freezes and what does not. If a unit ever gets missed or you need a same-day set, our emergency porta potty rental line moves fast. Curious how the plumbing works with no water hookup? The how do porta potties work page explains the tank and the chemical.
Do you rent more than porta potties in Ann Arbor?
Yes. Ann Arbor Porta Pros runs a full site line. We drop roll-off dumpsters in 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes; a roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so check the sizes and dimensions first. We pump septic too. A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size, which the septic pumping service and how often to pump pages cover. A grease interceptor gets pumped at 25 percent of liquid depth; see grease trap pumping. Add restroom trailers, storage containers and temporary fence. We serve Pittsfield 6.1 miles south and Ypsilanti 6.4 miles east too; the service areas page lists the rest.
How much is a porta potty rental near me?
A standard unit in Ann Arbor typically runs $150 a day or $200 a week, with delivery and service billed separately. The final number depends on unit type, rental length and how many services you need. See the cost page or request a quote for a firm figure.
Can I get a nicer unit for a wedding?
Yes. A deluxe flushable porta potty has a flush and a sink, and a luxury restroom trailer gives you climate control and real stalls. Both suit a wedding better than a basic unit. Book early, since event dates fill up.
Do I need a permit to place one in Ann Arbor?
If the unit sits on your own property, usually not. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the City of Ann Arbor before delivery, and we do not quote a rule from memory. The permit requirements page has more detail.

What size dumpster goes with a home project?
For a small cleanout, a 10 yard dumpster works. A 20 yard fits most renovations. Bigger tear-outs want a 30 yard. The dumpster rental cost page and what cannot go in a dumpster help you choose.
