Durham Porta Pros rents standard portable restrooms, ADA units and full restroom trailers across Durham, from single-day parties to month-long job sites. A standard unit runs about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall. Whatever the headcount, there's a size that fits.
Start with the event or job, not the unit. A backyard party or small portable restroom rental for party use usually calls for a standard porta potty rental, the workhorse with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank that handles a weekend crowd without a hitch. Bigger gatherings, weddings and corporate events tend to move up to a deluxe flushable porta potty or a full restroom trailer rental with running water and separated stalls. If you're searching "portable restroom trailer rental near me" because you need something nicer than a box on a lot, a 2-stall portable restroom trailer covers small weddings and pop-up events, while a 4-stall restroom trailer or 8-stall restroom trailer handles festivals and multi-day builds. Construction crews should size units to headcount under OSHA 1926.51(c), which sets 1 toilet for 20 workers or fewer and scales up from there. Not sure what fits your guest list or crew size? Our porta potty rental checklist and how many porta potties do I need guide both walk through the math before you call.
Pricing depends on unit type, rental length and how far the delivery truck has to travel. A standard unit typically runs in the range below for a single day, while trailers price out very differently. Full detail lives on our porta potty rental cost and restroom trailer rental cost pages, but here's the shape of it:
| unit | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | $100-$350 | $130-$500 | $125-$325 |
| ada | $200-$400 | $240-$400 | -- |
| deluxe | $85-$1200 | $150-$290 | -- |
| trailer | $175-$2500 | $1650-$2500 | -- |
A weekend rental on a trailer generally lands somewhere between the day and week figures above, closer to $900 to $3000 depending on stall count and finish level. Delivery adds a separate fee, typically $100 to $150 for a single day per our measured data, and a roll-off truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it to set units down safely. If you're comparing a porta john rental against a nicer trailer for the same budget, our monthly porta potty rental and porta potty rental per day breakdowns show where the price gaps actually are.
Not every trailer is, so you have to ask for it specifically. ADA accessible porta potty units and ADA portable restroom trailers are built to a different spec: a 36 inch clear route per ADA Standards section 403.5.1, a 32 inch minimum door opening under section 404.2.3, and a 60 inch turning circle inside per section 304.3.1. Where you're clustering several standard units at a Durham job site or festival, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of the cluster to be accessible, with a minimum of one unit regardless of total count. Grab bars and controls have to be operable with one hand and no tight grasping under section 309.4, and the floor has to stay slip resistant under section 302.1. This matters just as much for weddings and public events as it does for construction, so check our ADA restroom requirements page before you finalize an order, especially if the venue expects compliance documentation.
Yes, on most job sites and at most public events, and it's often a separate rental. General sanitation and toilet counts fall under OSHA 1926.51(c), but if your crew is applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) kicks in and requires washing facilities specifically for those contaminants. Standalone handwashing station rental units and portable sink rental options pair well with any restroom order, and under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), handwashing setups need actual soap and towels or a hand-drying device, since hand sanitizer alone doesn't satisfy that rule. Agricultural operations have their own standard too: OSHA 1928.110 calls for field sanitation with potable water and toilets within a quarter mile walk of hand-labor employees, one per 20 workers. If your event or crew is anywhere near Durham, Gorman sits about 8.3 miles northeast and Chapel Hill about 9.6 miles southwest, both well within normal delivery range, so a hand sanitizer station rental or full sink setup can usually reach you the same week you call.
Book trailers as early as you can, especially for weddings and festivals in peak season. Standard units are often available with a few days' notice, but trailers with multiple stalls book out fast. If your date is close, check emergency porta potty rental for faster turnaround options.
Yes. A wedding restroom rental usually means a 2-stall or 4-stall trailer rather than a standard unit, since guests expect running water and a mirror. Pair it with a luxury restroom trailer if the venue calls for a higher finish.
A standard porta potty is a single-occupant unit with a holding tank and no plumbing hookup. A trailer has multiple stalls, running water and often climate control, built for events where guests expect a real restroom experience rather than a job site unit.
The baseline industry interval is one service visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. High-traffic events or job sites often need more frequent visits. See how often are porta potties cleaned for specifics.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery. Check our porta potty permit requirements page and confirm with Durham directly, since we can't state a fee or ordinance number without verifying it first.
