Porta potty rental questions, answered

A standard porta potty in Edinburg starts at about $199 for a one-day or weekend event and about $189 per 28 days for jobsites and long rentals. Delivery and pickup add about $75–$95 inside Edinburg. Your written quote shows the total before tax and before you pay. See the full porta potty cost guide.

Porta potties are not priced by the day. Event units have one price that covers delivery before the event and pickup after, usually Friday to Monday. Longer rentals are priced per 28-day cycle. That is why a one-day unit and a four-day unit cost the same $199.

Event prices cover the whole event window, usually Friday drop-off to Monday pickup. Long-term prices are per 28-day cycle, and the cycle repeats until you call for pickup. The quote always says which one you are getting.

Delivery and pickup are one round-trip charge of about $75–$95 inside Edinburg, listed as its own line. There is no separate removal fee at the end. Addresses in Cameron, Starr, Willacy and Brooks counties have a higher round-trip charge.

The delivery fee is charged once per order, not per unit. Adding a second or third unit to the same address lowers the cost per unit.

Prices on this site are before Texas sales tax. The written quote shows the tax and the final total on the card.

Any fuel surcharge or card fee is shown on the written quote before you book. A charge that is not on the quote is not added later.

Every unit arrives with toilet paper and a filled hand sanitizer dispenser at no extra cost. Long-term units are restocked at every weekly service.

The unit with a sink and flush — the deluxe flushing unit — starts at about $325 per event, compared with $199 for a standard unit. A standalone hand wash station starts at about $150.

Orders of 5 or more units, rentals longer than 3 months, and flexible delivery dates all lower the price. Ask on the call and the dispatcher checks what applies.

The cheapest unit price can hide a large delivery fee, a removal fee or no weekly service. Compare the out-the-door total and what is included.

A written quote is good for 7 days. Unit availability for busy weekends is only held once the order is booked.

Same-day delivery is available Monday through Saturday when you call by noon. Orders after noon usually arrive first thing the next morning. Read how same-day porta potty delivery works.

Edinburg, McAllen, Pharr and nearby cities usually get delivery the same or next business day. Farther cities such as Brownsville, Rio Grande City or Falfurrias are scheduled on route days, usually within 1–2 business days.

A rush fee of about $75 may apply on a fully booked day. When a truck is already near you, same-day costs the same as regular delivery. The dispatcher tells you before you book.

Deliveries run Monday through Saturday. Drivers do not run routes on Sunday, so Sunday events get the unit on Friday or Saturday.

Friday drop-off and Monday pickup is the standard plan for weekend events. The extra days cost nothing. When Monday is a holiday, pickup moves to Tuesday.

Same-day drop and pickup is not offered, because drivers work set routes. The unit arrives the day before or the morning of, and is picked up the next business day.

Deliveries happen between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. The dispatcher gives you a narrower window on the call, and the driver can call when on the way if you ask.

Nobody needs to be home. Mark the spot with a cone, chalk or a note, unlock the gate or text the code, and give a backup phone number for the driver.

Book 2–3 weeks ahead for spring graduations, wedding season and holiday weekends, and 4–8 weeks ahead for restroom trailers. Jobsite and home units can usually be filled the same week.

Early drops can be requested for the day before, so the unit is waiting when the crew arrives.

Rentals of one week or longer are serviced once a week. Each visit pumps the tank, scrubs the seat, floor and walls, adds deodorizer and restocks toilet paper and sanitizer.

Weekly service is included in every 28-day rental. Event rentals arrive clean and stocked and need no service during a weekend.

Twice-weekly service is available on any long-term rental. Each extra visit adds about $75. On busy sites, a second unit can cost less than extra visits.

Event units are inspected, washed and stocked before every event. Ask for a deluxe flushing unit or a restroom trailer if guests expect a nicer look.

Valley summers speed up odor. Face the door away from afternoon sun, keep the roof vent clear, and add a mid-week service on big crews.

The deluxe flushing unit has a sink, soap and paper towels inside, plus a foot-pump flush. See the deluxe flushing porta potty page.

Two-sink hand washing stations with soap and towels start at about $150. They rent alone or next to porta potties.

Wheelchair-accessible units with a ground-level floor, wide door and grab bars start at about $249. The extra room also helps guests in gowns and parents with small children.

Two-stall restroom trailers with flushing toilets, sinks, lights and A/C start at about $1,450 per event. Larger trailers are quoted by date.

A restroom trailer needs a dedicated 110-volt outlet within about 100 feet, or a generator. A garden hose connection is helpful but optional on most trailers.

The unit design is the same. Event units are kept looking newer and are cleaned and stocked for one event. Construction units stay out for weeks and get weekly service.

Some colored units are in the fleet. Color depends on what is free for your date.

Units latch from inside only. Renters can add their own padlock and hasp, then share the code or key with dispatch so service is not missed.

The wheelchair-accessible unit has the most room for changing a baby. Ask about availability of fold-down changing tables.

Two standard units cover 100 guests for 4 hours. Make it 3 if alcohol is served or the event runs past 6 hours. Try the porta potty calculator.

One unit is enough for up to 50 guests for 4 hours or a crew of 10 for a week. Above that, a second unit costs less than a long line.

For a backyard party of 50–75 guests, one unit plus the house bathroom usually works. Keep the house bathroom for older guests and children.

Two units labeled men and women work well at parties over 60 guests. The men's unit has a urinal and moves the line faster.

One standard unit handles about 10 workers for a 40-hour week with one service. OSHA's legal minimum is 1 toilet for 20 or fewer workers — see the OSHA porta potty guide.

A standard jobsite unit is about $189 per 28 days with weekly service, plus a one-time delivery charge.

A move to a new address is scheduled as a pickup and a new delivery. Moves on the same site happen free during service.

Contractors can apply for a business account with monthly invoicing. Approval takes a few business days. Until then, card payment books the order.

Send the Texas sales tax exemption certificate before the first invoice so tax is removed from qualifying rentals.

Written quotes for bids are available by email. Tell us the start date, duration and crew size.

Self-pickup and towing are not offered, so units are not damaged in transit and stay insured.

Homeowners rent one standard or deluxe unit for remodels lasting 1–6 weeks, with weekly service included.

Month-to-month rentals work until the septic or water line is in. The rental renews every 28 days until you call for pickup.

Grass works if it is level and dry. After rain, Valley clay gets soft, so a driveway or a pad of plywood is better.

A standard unit needs about 5 by 5 feet of level ground, and the truck must park within about 15 feet.

The driver can dolly a standard unit through a gate at least 4 feet wide on a firm path. Steps, slopes and soft grass may not work.

A unit on private property normally needs no permit in Edinburg. A unit on a street, sidewalk, park or city right-of-way may need city approval, and HOAs may have their own rules.

A receipt and order confirmation are emailed or texted right after booking.

Written quotes are sent by text or email so you can share them before booking.

Calls go to the Edinburg dispatch team. The same company delivers, services and picks up your unit, so there is no third party between you and the driver.
