Most single porta potty rentals in Medford run about $150 to $200 for a standard unit on a monthly job, with delivery, weekly service and pickup folded in. A weekend event unit sits higher because it is a short-term rate. Bigger builds and restroom trailers cost more. Below is the full price picture for Medford.
The honest answer is that it depends on the unit and how long you keep it, and portable toilet rental cost tracks those two things more than anything else. If you want to rent a porta potty here, that is where to start. A standard porta potty is the cheapest way to cover a crew, and it is the unit most people mean when they ask how much does portable toilet rental cost. A deluxe flushable unit costs more because it has a flush and a sink. An ADA accessible unit sits in its own band, and a restroom trailer is a different animal entirely.
These ranges come from 799 datapoints scraped from ranking competitors. Your quote lands inside them, so these are real rent porta potty prices, not guesses. A standard unit is the volume seller here.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $100-$350 | $130-$500 | $125-$325 |
| Deluxe flushable | $85-$1200 | $150-$290 | ask |
| ADA accessible | $200-$400 | $240 | ask |
| Restroom trailer | $175-$2500 | $1650 | ask |
Weekend rates sit apart from these because they are short-term premiums. A standard unit over a weekend runs about $125 to $400. An ADA weekend unit runs about $199 to $300. A restroom trailer over a weekend runs $900 to $3000. Monthly numbers beat weekly on a standard unit because the fixed costs spread out. See monthly pricing if your job runs long.
These are separate lines, and a fair quote breaks them out so you can see them. Do not let anyone bury them. A portable restroom rental quote should name each one, because the price for portable toilet rental is the unit plus these fees, not one blended number.
| Fee | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery | $50-$150 | $120-$420 |
| Service visit | $30-$220 | $100-$300 |
Pickup is usually paired with delivery on the same trip. The service visit is the pump-and-restock. Under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, one service visit per week is the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, so most rentals include weekly service in the monthly rate. If you push more people through a unit, you add visits, and that changes the total cost. A handwashing station is its own line too.
Distance is one reason. We are in Medford and we run to Winchester 3.7 miles northwest, Everett 4.3 miles southeast, Melrose 5.0 miles northeast, Chelsea 5.7 miles southeast and Woburn 6.0 miles northwest. A longer drive costs more fuel and time.
Unit type is the other big one. A standard unit has a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground. A flushable deluxe or a trailer carries more plumbing and costs more. Service frequency, contract length and season all move the number. A winter rental may need extra care. How many people use the unit drives how often we pump it, and that feeds the monthly cost.
Count matters more than most people think, because ten units cost ten times one. On a construction site, OSHA 1926.51(c) sets one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then adds a seat and urinal per 40 workers as the crew grows past 20. Undercount and you fail an inspection. Overcount and you burn budget.
Use our how many porta potties guide to size it, and read the OSHA requirements before you finalize. For a construction dumpster and site services on the same job, bundling the delivery trips saves money. Events scale differently than job sites. A festival or concert needs a bank of units and often a restroom trailer. Get the count right first, then price it.
A fair quote names three things: the unit type, the rental period, and every fee as its own line. If you see one blended number with no breakdown, ask for the detailed version. You want delivery, weekly service and pickup called out so you can compare apples to apples.
Watch for extras. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), washing facilities need soap and towels or a dryer, and hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy that, so budget a real portable sink if the job requires it. If your crew applies paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities on top of the toilets. An ADA unit needs a 60 inch turning circle under ADA Standards 304.3.1. Read the placement guide and confirm permits before delivery.
Three worked examples so you can see how the pieces add up. Numbers land inside the bands above.
A weekend backyard wedding in Medford. One deluxe flushable unit plus one ADA unit over two days, with delivery and pickup on one trip and a service visit after. The deluxe drives the total. A handwashing station rounds it out.
A month-long home renovation. One standard unit on a monthly rate, weekly service included, plus a 10 yard dumpster for debris under OSHA 1926.25 housekeeping. The monthly rate beats four separate weeks.
A 30-worker construction site. Two standard units to meet OSHA 1926.51(c), a handwashing station, and a 20 yard dumpster. Longer terms lower the per-week cost.
Yes, a few ways. Rent monthly instead of weekly when the job runs long, because the fixed delivery and pickup spread out and the monthly rate wins. Bundle units and other gear on one delivery trip so you pay one delivery fee. A dumpster or storage container dropped on the same run saves a second charge.
Right-size the count. Do not rent a trailer when standard units cover the crew, and do not undercount and pay for emergency swaps. Place units for easy truck access so service is quick. A roll-off needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and tight access costs time. For a fast drop, see emergency porta potty rental. Call Medford Porta Pros and we will size it honestly. Compare the per-day math too.
A standard unit runs about $100 to $350 per day, before delivery and service. Day rates favor short jobs. For anything past a week, a weekly or monthly rate almost always costs less per day. See our per-day breakdown.
Usually no. Delivery is a separate line, roughly $50 to $150 on a weekly rental and $120 to $420 on a monthly one. A fair Medford Porta Pros quote lists it plainly. Pickup typically rides on the same trip. Ask for the full checklist.
A restroom trailer runs about $175 to $2500 per day depending on stall count and features. Over a weekend it lands $900 to $3000. See trailer cost and compare a 2 stall against a luxury trailer for your headcount.
Yes, a bit. An ADA accessible unit runs about $200 to $400 per day. It has to meet ADA Standards 304.3.1 with a 60 inch turning circle and a 36 inch route under ADA Standards 403.5.1. Under ADA Standards 213.2, at least one unit in a cluster must be accessible.
A standard unit on a monthly rate is the cheapest per day, because the delivery and weekly service spread across the term. Skip flush and trailer features you do not need. That keeps portable toilet rental costs down when you rent a porta john or rent a portable restroom for a long job. A port o john rental is the same unit under a different name, so port o potties for rent and a standard porta potty are the same thing to price.
Permit rules for placement in the public right of way are not verified for Medford, so confirm with the city before you place a unit on a street or sidewalk. On private property you usually do not. See permit requirements and dumpster permits for the general picture.
Under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, one service visit per week is baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Monthly rates usually include weekly service. Heavier use adds visits and cost. Read how often units are cleaned and whether porta potties smell.
