What does a porta potty rental cost in Erie?
Price depends on the unit and how long you keep it. A standard porta potty runs at the low end, a deluxe flushable unit higher, and a restroom trailer is its own tier. Delivery and weekly service are added on top. Below is a plain summary; the full breakdown lives on the porta potty rental cost page, with a per-day view and a monthly view too.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 150 | 200 | 200 |
| Deluxe flushable | 300 | 250 | - |
| ADA accessible | 230 | 185 | - |
| Dumpster (10-40 yd) | 75 | 600 | 108 |
A standard weekend runs about 250 dollars. For a bigger picture on trailers, the restroom trailer cost page has the detail, and dumpster numbers sit on the dumpster rental cost page. Prices for portable toilet rental in Erie hold steady across the corpus we track.
Which porta potty rental company should I call?
One that shows up on time and services the unit right. Erie Porta Pros stocks four core units so you match the site instead of forcing it. The standard unit covers construction and general work. The deluxe flushable suits guests who expect a sink and a flush. The ADA accessible unit meets ADA Standards 304.3.1, which calls for a 60 inch turning circle inside. For crowds, a restroom trailer rental steps up to real fixtures. Plenty of portable toilet rental companies push one box; we pick the one that fits. If a pipe bursts or a storm hits, emergency porta potty rental and disaster relief sanitation move fast. Read more about how we work, or browse the general portable restroom rental options first.
What are the four unit types and who needs each?
The standard unit is the workhorse. It carries a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank and stands about 92 inches tall, footprint roughly 44 by 48 inches on the ground. Contractors book it for a construction site or a home renovation. The deluxe flushable adds a foot pump and a sink, which is why the wedding crowd and film sets ask for it. The ADA unit gives wheelchair users a level, firm floor under ADA Standards 302.1 and a 32 inch clear door under ADA Standards 404.2.3; the ADA restroom requirements page explains the rest. The restroom trailer scales from a 2-stall to a 4-stall or 8-stall, and a luxury restroom trailer or shower trailer handles the high end. Not sure?

How fast can you deliver in Erie?
Usually a day or two once we have your dates and a clear spot. Erie Porta Pros drives Erie itself and rolls out to Penn State Erie (Behrend) 6.1 miles east and Northwest Harborcreek 5.0 miles northeast without trouble. A roll-off drop needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so if you are adding a roll-off dumpster clear the approach first. For a festival or a concert we set the schedule around your build days. Same for a marathon or race and a golf tournament. Tell us the site over on the contact page or fire off a quote request. If placement lands in the public right of way, that needs confirming with the city of Erie first; we can point you at the permit requirements page while you check. Winter drops are fine too, and the porta potty in winter guide covers cold-weather placement.
How does service work once the unit is on site?
We pump the tank, restock paper and hose it down on a set interval. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 puts the baseline at one service visit a week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, and that is where most Erie sites land. Heavy traffic gets more visits. The how often are porta potties cleaned page lays out the rhythm, and if you are worried about odor the do porta potties smell page is honest about it. Curious how the tank and vent actually function? See how do porta potties work. We also run septic pumping and septic tank cleaning, so a holding tank rental or a full emergency septic service is the same phone call. A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size; the how often to pump page explains when.
Do I need handwashing stations and how many toilets?
For work sites, yes and it depends on headcount. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one seat and one urinal per 40 workers as the crew grows, up to one per 50 at 200 or more; the OSHA portable toilet requirements page has the table. Where crews apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities, and a handwashing station rental covers it. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) says those stations need soap and towels or a dryer, not just sanitizer. We stock a portable sink rental and a hand sanitizer station both; the handwashing requirements page sorts which you need. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) also calls for potable water in all workplaces. Agricultural crews fall under OSHA 1928.110, which the farm and agricultural restrooms page addresses.
What else can Erie Porta Pros bring to the site?
More than toilets. A working site often needs a roll-off dumpster in 10 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard or 40 yard sizes; the dumpster sizes and dimensions page shows the footprints. Check the weight limits and what cannot go in a dumpster before you load, and a construction dumpster with its permit rules if the drop is on a street. We also rent temporary fence in chain link, crowd control barriers for events, and storage containers in 20ft and 40ft. A mobile office trailer rounds out the yard. For lighting and power, see the light tower and temporary power pole pages.
