How Do I Rent a Portable Toilet for a Home Renovation?
Call, tell us how long the job runs, and we schedule delivery. Most kitchen and bath jobs run a standard porta potty rental for 3 to 6 weeks, billed at the monthly rate rather than stacking daily charges. If you are searching for a home depot porta potty rental option, most box stores do not rent units directly. They point you to a company like ours. A porta john rental sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, so it fits beside a driveway, a fence line, or a side yard without eating your whole lot. If the crew is small, one unit covers it under OSHA 1926.51(c), which sets 1 toilet for 20 workers or fewer on a jobsite. Homeowners without a contractor crew usually just want a porta potty for home use during a bathroom gut, when the only working toilet in the house is offline for days. We also handle rush calls under emergency porta potty rental if your plumber just found a bigger problem than expected. Not sure how many units or what size, our porta potty rental checklist walks through it, and the how many porta potties do I need guide covers crew size and job length.
Do I Need a Permit for a Porta Potty at My House?
Placement in the public right of way, meaning the street or the curb strip in front of your house, needs confirming with the City of Lawrence before delivery. We are not going to guess at a rule here. Keeping the unit fully on your own driveway or yard usually avoids the question entirely, and that is what we recommend when the lot allows it. See porta potty permit requirements and dumpster permit requirements if you are renting both for the same renovation, since a roll-off often shares the same driveway conversation with the city. For placement details, porta potty placement guide covers clearance and ground surface. If you are also fencing off the yard during demo, a temporary fence for rental house situation is common when the property is a rental and the owner wants the yard secured from the tenant's kids or dogs during construction. A chain link temporary fence runs 30 to 75 dollars a day and keeps foot traffic away from open trenches or a dumpster. If you're managing a rental home between tenants and need the yard secured for a longer stretch, ask about weekly or monthly fence terms.
What Else Do I Need for a Full Home Renovation?
A porta potty rarely travels alone on a real renovation. Debris needs a roll-off dumpster rental, priced from 51 to 112 dollars a day depending on size, with 10 yard dumpster rental covering most single-room gut jobs. Check what cannot go in a dumpster before you fill it, since paint, chemicals and certain debris get rejected at the landfill. If the crew is doing exterior painting or applying coatings, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities on site for that specific work, so a handwashing station rental or portable sink rental belongs next to the porta potty, not just a bottle of sanitizer. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), a washing station needs actual soap and towels or a dryer, hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy it. If you're clearing out a garage or displacing a household during the renovation, a storage container rental or a 20ft storage container holds furniture on site for 100 to 250 dollars a month. Some homeowners even ask about a mobile office trailer converted to home use as temporary living space during a full gut renovation; we rent the trailer, though the conversion work is on you. If plumbing is disconnected for days, a septic tank cleaning or septic pumping service may need scheduling before the toilet goes back online, especially on older Lawrence properties still on a tank rather than city sewer.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long can I keep a porta potty at my house?
As long as the renovation runs. Daily rates suit a weekend project, weekly rates suit a bathroom remodel, and the monthly porta potty rental rate, 125 to 325 dollars, suits anything over three weeks. Lawrence Porta Pros adjusts the bill if your timeline shifts mid-project.
Can I rent a shower trailer instead of just a toilet?
Yes. A shower trailer rental works when water is shut off for plumbing work, and it's also what gets requested as a mobile shower trailer for homeless shelter support or disaster response through disaster relief sanitation. Trailer rates run 175 to 2,500 dollars a day depending on size and stalls.
Does the porta potty need to be ADA accessible?
Only if the jobsite requires it under contract or code. An ADA accessible porta potty needs a 60 inch turning circle per ADA 304.3.1 and a 32 inch door opening per ADA 404.2.3. Most single-family home renovations use a standard unit instead.
