How much does porta potty rental cost in Seattle?
Price depends on the unit and how long you keep it. A standard porta potty is the base. A deluxe flushable unit costs more, and a restroom trailer is the top tier. See our full porta potty rental cost breakdown, or the per-day rate page for short jobs.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 100 to 350 | 130 to 500 | 125 to 325 |
| Deluxe flushable | 85 to 1200 | 150 to 290 | - |
| ADA accessible | 200 to 400 | 120 to 240 | - |
Weekend rates sit apart from these. A standard unit runs about 250 dollars for a weekend. Delivery is billed separately, usually 100 to 500 dollars per trip. Keeping a unit longer? Check monthly rental. Want the number for your job? Request a quote or read our rental checklist first.
What kind of porta potty rental companies serve Seattle?
Some outfits do events only. Some do construction only. We do both, plus the gear around them. Need a portable toilet rental for a backyard job? Done. Running a job site with 30 workers? OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then adds a seat and urinal per 40 above that. Our OSHA portable toilet requirements page walks through the counts, and how many porta potties do I need does the math for events.
We stock a portable restroom rental line and the older porta john rental style too. A standard unit sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, so plan your placement with that clearance. For construction, bundle it with construction site services and skip five phone calls.
Where can a porta potty go in Seattle?
On private property, you place it where the truck can reach it. In the public right-of-way, it is different. SDOT requires a Street Use permit for containers placed in the right-of-way under Seattle Municipal Code Title 15. SMC 15.04.010 makes it unlawful to use any public place without a written permit from the Director of Transportation.
Whether SDOT names a portable toilet specifically as a permit type is NOT VERIFIED. Confirm placement in the public right-of-way with the city before we deliver. On private ground you skip that step. Read our porta potty permit requirements and, for containers and bins, dumpster permit requirements. We also serve Mercer Island 8.9 miles southeast, Shoreline 11.8 miles north, and Burien 12.4 miles south. Full list on our service areas page.
What is the difference between standard, deluxe and luxury units?
A standard unit is the workhorse: seat, urinal, paper, a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank. That is the one most job sites and casual events use. A deluxe flushable porta potty adds a flush and a sink, which reads as a nicer, fancier unit for guests who expect one.
The step up from there is a trailer. A 2 stall restroom trailer or 4 stall trailer gives you real floors, sinks and lighting. Larger crowds take an 8 stall trailer or a luxury restroom trailer, and hot-water jobs want a shower trailer. Weddings often want the wedding restroom look. Under ADA Standards 213.2, when single-user units are clustered, at least 5 percent and never fewer than one must be accessible, so we pair the fancy stuff with an ADA unit. See restroom trailer cost for pricing.
Why does Seattle weather change what you need?
Seattle gets 37.49 inches of rain a year and 91 days with measurable precipitation, the wettest in our service region, per NOAA 1991-2020 normals. That means mud, soft ground and units that need firm footing. ADA Standards 302.1 asks for a stable, firm, slip-resistant surface, which matters more here than in a dry climate.
Winter bites too. Seattle averages 24 days a year at or below freezing, so read porta potty in winter before a cold-season job. Service keeps units clean; ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one visit per week for up to 10 users as the baseline, and our cleaning schedule page explains it. Add a handwashing station or portable sink where crews handle paints or coatings, which OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires. Pair units with temporary fencing or a storage container to finish the site.

Do I need a permit for a porta potty in Seattle?

How often do you service the units?
Weekly is the baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, one visit for up to 10 users over a 40-hour week. Heavy use or big events get more visits. We pump the tank, restock paper and clean each unit. Details on our service page.
Can you deliver outside Seattle?
Yes. We cover Issaquah 16.7 miles east, Lynnwood 17.0 miles north, SeaTac 15.3 miles south and more. Bothell sits 20.9 miles northeast. Check the full service areas map for your town.
What size units handle a big crowd?
For crowds, a multi-stall restroom trailer beats a row of single units. An 8 stall trailer suits festivals and concerts. Use the count guide to plan, and add an ADA unit per the 5 percent rule.
