What does a porta potty cost to rent in Lakewood?
Most people call to rent a porta potty for a weekend or a month, usually one standard porta potty rental, and the number they get back depends on unit type and how long they keep it. Lakewood Porta Pros quotes the rental itself, then delivery, then service. A monthly rental spreads the cost, since one delivery and one pickup cover the whole term. Short jobs pay more per day because the trip cost is fixed. If you want the daily number broken out, that page walks through it. A deluxe flushable unit sits above standard. An ADA accessible unit is priced on its own line. The full cost breakdown below shows every unit type against every duration, and you can also request a quote with your dates and dropoff address for a real figure.
How much does portable toilet rental cost by unit and duration?
Here are the measured bands. Weekend is a premium short-term rate, so it is quoted in prose, not in the table. A standard unit for a weekend runs about $250, and an ADA unit for a weekend runs about $240.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $100-$350 | $130-$500 | $125-$325 |
| Deluxe flushable | $85-$1200 | $150-$290 | - |
| ADA accessible | $200-$400 | $240-$400 | - |
| Restroom trailer | $175-$2500 | $1397-$1650 | - |
A restroom trailer covers the widest span because a small 2 stall trailer and an 8 stall trailer are very different machines. See the restroom trailer cost page for that split. For events, folks who rent a portable restroom often book a portable restroom rental as an event package rather than by the day, and portable restrooms rental cost drops per unit when you keep it longer.
What are the delivery, service and pickup fees?
These are separate from the rental. Delivery drops the unit and pickup hauls it away. Service is the pump-and-restock visit. A single service visit per week is the baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 for up to 10 users on a 40 hour week.
| Line item | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delivery fee | $100-$500 | $100-$150 | $120-$420 |
| Service fee | $100-$300 | $100-$220 | $100-$300 |
Pickup is usually folded into the delivery or the term. On a longer job the monthly rental wins because you pay one delivery and one pickup across weeks. Ask how often units get cleaned so the service line matches your crowd. If you need one fast, same-day trips carry the higher end of the delivery band. The contact page has our dispatch details.
Why do porta potty prices vary so much?
Unit type is the biggest lever. A standard porta potty with a 60 to 70 gallon tank costs far less than a deluxe flushable unit with a foot pump and sink. Duration is the next lever, and the third is service frequency. A busy site needs two visits a week, which doubles that line. Distance matters too. Lakewood sits close to our yard, but a drop in Golden 9.2 miles northwest or Littleton 13.6 miles southeast adds drive time to the delivery fee. Site access matters as well, since a unit stands about 92 inches tall and needs a clear path for the truck. Winter changes the math, and the porta potty in winter page explains why. If you are counting units for a crew, OSHA 1926.51(c) sets one toilet for up to 20 workers, and the OSHA requirements page lays out the rest.
What moves the number on your quote?
Placement drives cost more than people expect. A unit set on a stable, firm surface per ADA Standards 302.1 pumps clean and services fast. A unit crammed behind equipment costs the driver time. The placement guide shows the clearances. Terrain aside, the count is the other big driver, and the how many do I need calculator helps you avoid overbooking. For a construction crew, pairing toilets with a handwashing station or a portable sink is standard, since 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels where washing facilities are provided. If workers apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that contaminant exposure. A hand sanitizer station does not meet that soap-and-towel rule. Bundling a dumpster or temporary fence on the same trip can trim the per-item delivery. Our construction site services page bundles these.
What does a fair quote look like in Lakewood?
A fair quote names three things clearly: the rental rate, the delivery fee, and the service schedule with its own price. If any of those is hidden, ask. Lakewood Porta Pros writes them as separate lines so you can see what you are paying for. A one-time delivery for a nearby drop starts near the low end of the delivery band, and a weekly service visit is its own charge. Watch for weekend service fees, which run high on short bookings because a crew comes out on a Saturday or Sunday. For a wedding or festival, an event restroom package or a wedding restroom rental may quote a flat event rate instead of a daily one. Compare that against the daily rate before you sign. The FAQ page answers the common billing questions, and the about page explains how we work in Lakewood.
Which unit should you rent for the job?
Match the unit to the crowd and the ground. A backyard home renovation or a camping trip does fine with one standard unit. A wedding wants a deluxe flushable or a luxury restroom trailer with running water. Any public event needs an accessible unit, since ADA Standards 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of clustered units, and never fewer than one, to be accessible. That unit needs a 60 inch turning circle under ADA Standards 304.3.1 and a 32 inch clear door under ADA Standards 404.2.3. A 4 stall trailer suits a mid-size event, and a shower trailer covers a multi-day festival or disaster relief site. Farms follow OSHA 1928.110, which puts a facility within a quarter-mile walk of hand-labor crews. The farm and agricultural restrooms page covers that, and a porta john rental is the plain-crew standby when you rent a porta john for a work site. Port o john rental and port o potties for rent mean the same standard unit under a different name.
How do three real Lakewood scenarios price out?
Say a two-week kitchen remodel in Lakewood needs one standard unit. You pay the standard week rate twice, one delivery, one pickup, and one service visit per week. That is the cheapest path, and the monthly rental undercuts it if the job runs longer.
A Saturday wedding for 120 guests in Applewood, 8.5 miles northwest, wants two deluxe flushable units plus one ADA unit. Weekend rates apply on all three, plus a weekend delivery and a weekend service line. Book it through event restroom rental.
A framing crew of 30 in Wheat Ridge, 5.8 miles north, needs two toilets under OSHA 1926.51(c) plus a handwashing station. That runs as a monthly bundle on our construction site services. Pair a roll-off dumpster on the same trip to save a delivery. For a bigger crew, price a storage container alongside, and check dumpster permit rules before placing anything near the street. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the City of Lakewood, and we name no rule we cannot cite.
How much does a porta potty cost per day in Lakewood?
A standard unit runs $100 to $350 for a day, before delivery and service. Short one-day jobs pay more per unit because the trip cost is fixed. See the per-day breakdown for how the fees stack, or request a quote with your date.
Is a weekly or monthly rental cheaper?
Per day, monthly is cheaper. You pay one delivery and one pickup across the whole term instead of repeating them each week. The rental rate itself sits in a similar band, but the trip fees are what you save on. Compare on the monthly rental page.
Does the price include delivery and pickup?
Not usually. Delivery is a separate line starting near $100, and pickup is often folded into the delivery or the term. Service, the pump-and-restock visit, is billed on its own too. Lakewood Porta Pros lists all three so nothing hides. See the full cost breakdown style we use.
Why is an ADA unit priced differently?
An ADA unit is larger and built to meet ADA Standards, including a 60 inch turning circle under section 304.3.1 and a 36 inch route width under section 403.5.1. That extra size and the accessible fittings put it in its own band. The ADA accessible page has details.
How much is a restroom trailer compared to a single unit?
A trailer costs far more because it has flushing toilets, sinks and climate control. Day rates span a wide range depending on stall count, from a 2 stall trailer up to an 8 stall trailer. The restroom trailer cost page breaks it down by size.
Do I need a permit to place a porta potty in Lakewood?
On private property, usually no. On a street or public right of way, placement needs confirming with the City of Lakewood before the unit drops. We do not quote a specific code from memory. The permit requirements page explains what to ask.
What affects how often my unit needs service?
User count and heat. The baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 is one visit a week for up to 10 users on a 40 hour week. Busier sites need two. A 60 to 70 gallon tank fills faster with a big crowd. The cleaning frequency page covers it.
