How Much Is a Porta Potty Rental for a Day?
The daily rate depends on the unit type, not just the day count. A standard porta potty rental in Lakewood runs $100 to $350 for a single day, with most jobs settling near $150 once delivery is added. Delivery itself is billed separately in many cases, and that fee alone can run $100 to $500 depending on distance and access. If you need something nicer, a deluxe flushable porta potty day rate spans $85 to $1,200, a wide range because deluxe units vary a lot in features. An ADA accessible porta potty rents for $200 to $400 a day, which reflects the larger footprint and the turning space required. Lakewood Porta Pros prices each of these by unit, not as one blanket day rate, so a homeowner doing a weekend project pays differently than a contractor needing an ADA unit for a single inspection day. Check the porta potty rental cost page for the fuller breakdown across all durations.
Why Does Porta Potty Rental Cost Per Day Vary So Much?
Unit type drives most of the swing, but delivery distance and event size matter too. A construction site in Wheat Ridge, 5.8 miles north of Lakewood, pays a different delivery fee than a backyard job in central Lakewood. Delivery fees for a single day sit between $100 and $500 in the data we track, and that spread comes from truck access, distance and how many units go out at once. A standard unit holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank and stands about 92 inches tall, so placement matters: porta potty placement guide covers ground clearance and level pad requirements. Event rentals price differently too. A single-day event rental for a standard unit can run $200 to $800, reflecting servicing and setup that a construction day rate does not need. If you are comparing a one-day rental against a longer stay, the porta potty rental per day numbers above should be weighed against monthly porta potty rental rates, since a month often costs less per day than a single one-off delivery.
Should I Rent Daily or by the Week for a Short Lakewood Job?
If your job runs more than two or three days, weekly pricing usually wins. A standard unit rents for $130 to $500 across a full week, which per-day works out cheaper than booking four or five separate single-day deliveries. Weekend rates sit between $125 and $400 for a standard unit, a useful option for a Friday-through-Sunday event without paying for a full week. Here is how the standard unit compares across durations:
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $100 | $150 | $350 |
| Weekend | $125 | $250 | $400 |
| Week | $130 | $200 | $500 |
| Month | $125 | $200 | $325 |
Delivery fees follow a similar curve: a single day delivery runs $100 to $500, but a weekly delivery fee often lands lower at $50 to $150 because the truck trip gets spread across more rental days. For projects near Golden, 9.2 miles northwest of Lakewood, or Applewood, 8.5 miles northwest, delivery routing affects which pricing tier makes sense.

Do I Need More Than One Unit for a Single Day?
Worker count decides that, not the rental length. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the ratio: one toilet for 20 or fewer workers, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers once you pass 20, dropping to one per 50 workers at 200 or more. A crew of 25 on a single-day job in Lakewood needs two facilities under that ratio, even if the job wraps by sundown. Farm labor operations follow a different standard, OSHA 1928.110, which calls for one facility per 20 hand-labor employees within a quarter mile walk. If you are unsure how many units your crew needs, how many porta potties do i need walks through the math, and osha portable toilet requirements covers the full ratio table. Accessibility matters too: ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of clustered single-user units to be accessible, never fewer than one, so a bank of four or five units on a single-day event needs one ADA unit in the mix. Review ada restroom requirements before your event date. For jobs needing washing facilities after paint or coating work, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) applies, and a handwashing station rental covers that separately from toilet counts.

What is included in a one day porta potty rental?
The unit itself, delivery, and pickup are standard. Servicing beyond that single day is not included unless you add it. A portable toilet rental booked for one day typically does not include a return service visit, since ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 treats weekly servicing as the baseline interval.
Is a one day rental cheaper than a weekend rental?
Not always. A single day runs $100 to $350 for a standard unit, while a weekend runs $125 to $400. If your event spans Friday through Sunday, the weekend rate often costs less per day than booking three separate daily rentals.
Can I get emergency porta potty delivery the same day?
Sometimes, depending on truck availability and your location in Lakewood. Same-day and rush delivery typically carries a higher fee than standard scheduling. Call ahead through emergency porta potty rental to check what is possible for your date.
Do I need an ADA unit for a one day construction job?
If workers or visitors with disabilities will be on site, yes. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster, regardless of rental length. An ada accessible porta potty day rate runs $200 to $400 in Lakewood.
