What does a porta potty rental cost in Schenectady?
Price depends on the unit and how long you keep it. A standard porta potty rental runs about $150 a day, and a weekly rate lands near $200 with one service visit included. Monthly rentals stretch that cost across more days, which is why long jobs book by the month. Deluxe flushable models cost more.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $150 | $200 | $200 |
| Deluxe flushable | $250 | $290 | -- |
| ADA accessible | $200 | $240 | -- |
Delivery adds a fee. See the full porta potty rental cost breakdown or check the per-day rate. For a firm number, request a quote and tell us your dates. We can also price a restroom trailer if you need something nicer. Weekend event pricing on a standard unit runs about $250 flat.
How many porta potties do I need?
That depends on headcount and hours. On a construction site, OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets one toilet for up to 20 workers, then one seat and one urinal per 40 workers past that. Our how many porta potties do I need guide walks the math, and the OSHA portable toilet requirements page covers the rules in plain language.
Events run differently. Guests drink, lines build, and you want enough units that nobody waits. For a wedding, look at wedding restroom rental; for a big crowd, festival restroom rental or concert restroom rental. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, so heavy use means more frequent cleaning. Ask us and we'll size it. See the full event restroom rental options too.
What kinds of units can I rent?
Start with the basics. A standard porta potty covers most job sites and casual events, and a porta john rental is the same workhorse under a different name. A standard unit sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank.
Want something nicer? The deluxe flushable porta potty adds a flush and a sink. For a fancy or luxury feel at a wedding, step up to a luxury restroom trailer or pick a size: 2 stall, 4 stall or 8 stall. We also stock a shower trailer. For wheelchair access, the ADA accessible porta potty meets ADA Standards 213.2, which requires at least 5 percent of clustered units be accessible, never fewer than one. Pair any unit with a handwashing station.

Clifton Park is 10.1 miles northeast, so Clifton Park rentals are an easy drive. Guilderland is 10.3 miles south, with its own Guilderland page. Troy is 15.2 miles east, served through Troy rentals. See the full service areas map for the rest. If you're not sure we reach you, the contact page has our number. We deliver to job sites, backyards and event fields across greater Schenectady, and we'll confirm access before the truck rolls.
Can you handle more than portable toilets?
We do the whole site. Need to haul debris? Grab a roll-off dumpster in 10, 20, 30 or 40 yard sizes. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so clear the path first. Check what cannot go in a dumpster before you load.
On septic, we run septic pumping service and tank cleaning. A residential tank usually needs pumping every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank and household size. We handle grease trap pumping too, emptied when grease hits 25 percent of liquid depth. For fencing, see temporary fence rental or crowd control barriers. Storing tools? A storage container rental in 20ft or 40ft keeps gear dry. It all ties into our construction site services.
Frequently asked questions
How much is porta potty rental near me?
A standard unit runs about $150 a day and near $200 for a week in Schenectady, plus a delivery fee. Deluxe and ADA units cost more. Exact price depends on your dates and site, so request a quote for a firm number.
How often do you clean the units?
Once a week is the baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, which covers up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Heavy use needs more visits. Our cleaning schedule page explains what each service includes and how we keep smells down.
Do I need a permit to place one?
Placement on private property usually doesn't. Putting a unit in the public right of way needs confirming with the City of Schenectady first, since we can't cite a local rule here. Our permit requirements guide covers what to ask before you book.
Can I rent for just a weekend?
Yes. A standard unit for a weekend event runs about $250 in Schenectady, delivered and picked up. That's a short-term event rate. For one-day setups see the per-day page, and for guest counts use our placement guide.
