A standard porta potty in Bismarck runs about 150 dollars a day, 200 for a week, and 200 a month, plus delivery and pickup. Deluxe flushable units and ADA models cost more. Restroom trailers are their own category. Delivery adds 50 to 150 for a week. Below is the full price breakdown for this city.
Most people renting one standard porta potty here pay a day rate near 150 dollars or a weekly rate near 200. That covers the unit and one service visit. It doesn't cover delivery or pickup, which we quote as separate lines so you can see the real total. A quick look at our porta potty rental cost per day page shows the price to rent a porta potty for short jobs. For jobs that run weeks, our monthly porta potty rental rate is the cheaper path per day. Rates shift with unit type, rental length, how many units you need, and how often we service them. A single unit on a driveway during a home renovation prices differently than ten units across a construction site. Call Bismarck Porta Pros and we'll price your exact setup. Start with a free quote.

A standard unit over a weekend runs about 125 to 400. An ADA accessible unit over a weekend is roughly 199 to 300. A deluxe flushable model holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank and prices higher than a basic one. See our porta potty rental cost hub for more. Compare restroom trailer cost separately.
Unit type is the biggest lever. If you rent a portable restroom, a basic portable toilet costs less than a deluxe flushable with a foot pump and sink, and both cost less than a luxury restroom trailer with running water. Rental length matters too. A monthly rental spreads the delivery cost across weeks, so the per-day figure drops. Service frequency is the third lever. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Heavier use means more visits, and each visit carries a service fee. Distance adds up as well. We're based in Bismarck, so a unit in Mandan 7.4 miles west or Lincoln 7.7 miles southeast carries a bit more drive time than one downtown. Site access counts too. See our placement guide and rental checklist before you book.
Your base rate covers the unit, delivery inside our normal window, one service visit per rental period, and pickup at the end. A service visit means pumping the 60 to 70 gallon tank, restocking paper, and cleaning the interior. Learn how the cleaning schedule works and why a well-serviced unit doesn't smell. What's not included: extra service visits beyond the baseline, handwashing stations, and permits. If your job needs a sink, 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a dryer, and hand sanitizer alone doesn't satisfy it. A portable sink or a hand sanitizer station is a separate line. Placement in the public right of way isn't in our fact bank for Bismarck, so confirm any permit requirement with the city before you place a unit on a street. On private property it's usually simpler. See how porta potties work for the full picture.
Count drives cost, so getting the number right saves money. On a construction site, OSHA 1926.51(c) requires one toilet for up to 20 workers, then one seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up, and one per 50 workers at 200 or more. That's the floor, not the ideal. Our how many porta potties calculator walks you through it, and the OSHA portable toilet requirements page covers the rules in plain terms. For events, headcount and hours matter more than worker ratios. A wedding of 150 guests needs fewer units than a festival of 2,000. If you're renting for a county fair or a marathon, we size the order to peak demand. Under ADA Standards section 213.2, at least 5 percent of clustered units, and never fewer than one, must be ADA accessible. More units mean more service fees, so plan the count carefully. Ask Bismarck Porta Pros to run the math.
A fair quote names four things: the unit type, the rental length, the delivery and pickup fee, and the service schedule. If a quote lumps everything into one number, ask for it itemized. You want to see the standard unit rate, the delivery line, the service line, and the pickup line laid out. That way you can compare our porta potty rental cost against anyone else's without guessing. Watch for quotes that skip the pickup charge, then add it later. Ours doesn't. If you need a unit fast, our emergency porta potty rental still gives you the same itemized breakdown. For events, our event restroom rental quotes include the same lines, and port o potties for rent at events get the same itemized treatment. A standard unit is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands about 92 inches tall, so make sure your site has the clearance before you sign. Request a written quote and keep it.
The break point is usually around three to four weeks. Weekly billing charges delivery and pickup each cycle if you keep renewing, while a monthly rate bundles them once. If your home renovation or construction project runs past a month, the monthly rental almost always wins on cost per day. Short jobs are the opposite. A weekend event or a two-day golf tournament is cheaper on a day or weekend rate. A concert or camping trip that spans a single weekend fits the weekend band best. For anything in between, our per-day pricing page shows the crossover. If you're not sure how long you'll need it, tell us the outside date and we'll price both ways. We also handle farm and agricultural restrooms where the season sets the length. OSHA 1928.110 covers field sanitation for hand-labor crews at one facility per 20 employees, whether you rent a porta john for a season or a single week.
Real numbers make it clearer. Scenario one: a backyard graduation party, one standard unit for the weekend, roughly 125 to 400 for the unit plus a delivery fee in the 125 to 200 weekend range. Scenario two: a downtown Bismarck remodel, one standard unit for a month at 125 to 325, one monthly service, plus delivery and pickup. That's the classic monthly rental case. Scenario three: a 40-worker construction site that under OSHA 1926.51(c) needs one seat and one urinal per 40 workers, so a couple of standard units plus a handwashing station for crews applying coatings, since OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing where paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides are used. Add a roll-off dumpster and a storage container and you've got the whole site covered. Need it in Mandan or Apple Valley 9.2 miles east? Same rates, small drive-time add.
A standard unit runs 100 to 350 for a day, plus a delivery fee. Most single-day jobs land near the middle. An ADA model costs more. Get an itemized quote so you see delivery and pickup separately.
A standard porta potty is 130 to 500 for a week, and that includes one service visit. Delivery adds 50 to 150. If your job runs past a month, compare our monthly rate, which spreads the delivery cost.
No. We break delivery out as its own line, 50 to 150 for a week or 100 to 500 for a day, so nothing hides in the total. Pickup is separate too. Our full cost breakdown shows every line.
An ADA accessible unit runs 200 to 400 a day or 120 to 240 a week. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit, or 5 percent of a cluster. See the ADA restroom requirements page.
A lot more. A restroom trailer runs 175 to 2500 a day against a standard unit near 150. Trailers have running water and climate control. Compare a 2 stall against an 8 stall on our trailer cost page.
Cold weather can add service considerations, and our porta potty in winter guide covers how we handle it. The base rate structure stays the same. Ask Bismarck Porta Pros about winter setups when you book a cold-season rental.
Yes, and it's common on job sites. Pair a standard unit with a roll-off dumpster, which needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck. Bundling means one delivery coordination. See our construction site services for the full setup.
