A standard porta potty rental in Medford runs 100 to 350 dollars a day, with most week-long jobs landing between 130 and 500 dollars depending on service frequency. It is the plain, no-flush unit with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank that contractors and homeowners in Medford rent for job sites, yard work and one-day events.
It is the unit you picture when someone says porta potty. No sink, no flush, just a holding tank and a door that locks. Medford Porta Pros builds ours around a 60 to 70 gallon tank, which covers a steady crew without a mid-week pump-out on most jobs. If you want the flush version instead, look at the deluxe flushable porta potty, which costs more but feels less like a job site unit and more like a bathroom. For crews that need an accessible stall on-site, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster of single-user toilets, which is why we also stock the ADA accessible porta potty. Homeowners doing a kitchen gut or a roof tear-off usually just need the standard unit, covered on our home renovation porta potty page. Event planners run bigger numbers and shorter windows, which is a different math problem entirely, addressed on the event restroom rental page. If you are still deciding between a plain unit, a flush unit or a trailer, the portable toilet rental hub walks through all three.
A standard unit measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, close to a small closet standing on end. That footprint matters when you are placing it against a fence line, a dumpster, or a temporary fence rental panel in a tight Medford lot. Door swing needs clearance too. Our crews check the site before drop-off, especially on rowhouse lots near Winchester, 3.7 miles northwest of Medford, where driveways run narrow. If you are unsure how many units a job needs, the how many porta potties do I need guide breaks it down by worker count and hours on-site. For construction jobs specifically, OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the ratio: one toilet for crews of 20 or fewer, one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers above that, dropping to one per 50 once a crew tops 200. That standard drives most of our commercial orders, and it is worth checking against the fuller breakdown on OSHA portable toilet requirements before you order for a big crew.
Pricing depends on how long you need the unit and how often it gets serviced. Here is what the numbers look like across the durations we quote most in Medford:
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $100 | $150 | $350 |
| Week | $130 | $200 | $500 |
| Month | $125 | $200 | $325 |
| Weekend | $125 | $250 | $400 |
Delivery adds a separate fee, typically 100 to 150 dollars for a single-day drop, less if you are booking for a week or a month since that fee gets spread across a longer rental. Multi-week construction jobs usually land at the lower end of the weekly band because service visits get scheduled efficiently across several units on one route. For a full cost breakdown including delivery and service fees stacked together, see porta potty rental cost or, for day-rate specifics, porta potty rental per day. Renting past a month? The monthly porta potty rental page covers how the math changes for long jobs. Everett sits 4.3 miles southeast of Medford and Melrose 5.0 miles northeast, and pricing across that stretch tends to track the same bands, since delivery routes overlap.
Cost and simplicity. A standard unit gets the job done for crews and casual events without paying for flush plumbing or a trailer's climate control. Medford Porta Pros stocks all three so you are not guessing: standard for job sites and basic events, deluxe flushable porta potty units for weddings and staff events where guests notice the difference, and the restroom trailer rental line for weddings, galas or long-term office setups. Servicing follows ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the industry baseline of one visit per week for up to 10 users across a standard 40 hour week, which is why job-site rentals in Medford usually get serviced weekly unless the crew count runs high. Water service ties into OSHA 1926.51(a)(1), which requires potable water at every place of employment, something we coordinate alongside toilet delivery on active sites. If your work involves paints, coatings or solvents, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that specific exposure, which is a separate need from a toilet and one we can pair with a handwashing station rental. For roofing or demo jobs generating debris, pairing your toilet order with a 10 yard dumpster rental or checking dumpster rental cost saves a second delivery trip.
Standard units have no flush and no sink, just a holding tank and a vent. Deluxe units flush and often include a hand-rinse station. Deluxe costs more, roughly double a standard day rate, but suits events where guests expect more than a job site setup.
As long as the job needs it. Day rates suit single events, weekly rates suit short jobs, and monthly rates suit ongoing construction. Renting longer generally lowers your per-day cost since delivery and setup fees spread across more days of use.
Yes. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets a weekly service baseline for up to 10 users, and Medford Porta Pros schedules pump-outs on that cadence for month-long job sites, adjusting frequency if crew size runs high.
Usually yes, but placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. Check the porta potty permit requirements page before ordering if your unit will sit anywhere near a sidewalk or street.
Once you pass 20 workers, OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) calls for additional fixtures beyond a single toilet. The how many porta potties do I need guide walks through the math by crew size and shift length.
Yes. Medford Porta Pros delivers standard porta potty rental across Medford and the surrounding metro, with same-day and next-day drop-off available on most orders.
