A standard porta potty rental in St. Louis runs 100 to 350 dollars a day, 130 to 500 dollars a week, or 125 to 325 dollars a month, depending on rental length and delivery distance. It is the basic unit contractors, homeowners and event planners reach for first, and it covers most jobs without upgrades, whether you found this page through portable toilet rental or porta john rental searches.
A standard unit is the plain, no-frills toilet you see on job sites and at backyard parties across St. Louis. It holds a 60 to 70 gallon waste tank and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, standing roughly 92 inches tall. That footprint fits along a fence line, a driveway edge, or a tight lot in University City, 7.9 miles northwest, without eating up much space. Inside, you get a toilet seat, a urinal area, and a roll of paper. No sink, no flush handle, no frills. If you want a flushing option with a fresher feel, look at the deluxe flushable porta potty instead. If the site needs a compliant accessible unit, check the ADA accessible porta potty page, since clustered units must keep at least 5 percent accessible under ADA Standards 213.2. Most residential jobs, from a kitchen remodel to a weekend deck build, only need one standard unit for the full job, and the broader portable restroom rental page covers how that compares to other unit types.
Price depends on how long you keep the unit and how far St. Louis Porta Pros has to drive. Here is the current range:
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | $100 | $150 | $350 |
| week | $130 | $200 | $500 |
| weekend | $125 | $250 | $400 |
| month | $125 | $200 | $325 |
A single weekend rental for a backyard graduation party or a garage sale typically runs toward the lower end of that weekend band, similar to rates quoted on the general porta potty rental in St. Louis page. Delivery is usually billed separately, and that fee runs 100 to 500 dollars for a day rental or 50 to 150 dollars if you book by the week, so ask for that number up front. For a full breakdown by job type, see porta potty rental cost in St. Louis or compare day rates directly on the porta potty rental per day page. Contractors running long jobs should check monthly porta potty rental pricing before committing to weekly renewals, since a month often beats paying week after week.
OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline for construction crews: one toilet seat for 20 workers or fewer, then one seat and one urinal per 40 workers once the crew passes 20, and one per 50 once you hit 200 workers or more. A five-person framing crew in Webster Groves, 8.6 miles southwest of downtown St. Louis, needs just one standard unit. A 60-person site downtown needs at least two, sometimes three depending on shift overlap, the kind of planning covered on the construction site services page. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets the servicing baseline at one visit per week for up to 10 users across a 40 hour week, so a busy site or event may need more frequent pumping regardless of unit count. For events, the math runs differently than for job sites, so use the how many porta potties do I need guide to size your order, whether you are planning a festival restroom rental or a smaller gathering. Full OSHA detail, including the potable water requirement under 1926.51(a)(1), lives on the OSHA portable toilet requirements page. If your workers are also handling paints or coatings, washing facilities fall under a separate rule; check the handwashing station requirements page rather than guessing.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery day. St. Louis Porta Pros can advise based on the job site, but permit rules and any local fee are not something to guess at from a blog post. Beyond permitting, think about ground stability, since ADA Standards 302.1 calls for stable, firm, slip resistant surfaces even on standard, non-accessible units, and a soft or sloped spot causes tipping complaints fast. Keep a clear 36 inch path to the unit where you can, matching the accessible route width in ADA Standards 403.5.1, even on jobs that do not legally require an ADA unit. For roll-off dumpster rental delivery on the same site, remember the truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it, which affects where you stage everything. Full placement logic, including setback from property lines and prevailing wind direction, is covered on the porta potty placement guide. Homeowners tackling a renovation should also see home renovation porta potty for typical single-unit setups, and anyone booking for a wedding or block party should check event restroom rental or the dedicated wedding restroom rental page before ordering just one standard unit. Larger jobs that also need temporary fence rental or a storage container rental on site should plan placement for all of it together.
A basic porta potty rental for a weekend in St. Louis typically runs 125 to 400 dollars, delivery included in some quotes and billed separately in others. Ask St. Louis Porta Pros to confirm whether delivery is bundled before you book, since that swings the final number more than the unit price does.
A standard unit measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank inside. That footprint fits most driveways, job site corners, and backyard spots without needing extra clearance beyond a stable, level surface.
St. Louis Porta Pros delivers across St. Louis and nearby communities including Kirkwood, 12.5 miles west, and Florissant, 15.4 miles north. Same-day or next-day delivery is often possible; call ahead, especially during weekend event season when trucks book up fast.
Not usually. Standard units cover most job sites and casual events fine, and pricing details for both live on the porta potty rental cost page. If guests expect a nicer experience, like a wedding or a multi-day festival, the deluxe flushable porta potty or a full restroom trailer rental makes more sense than a standard unit.
ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Busier sites or multi-day events need more frequent pumping; ask St. Louis Porta Pros to build a servicing schedule around your actual headcount, not just the calendar.
