How many portable toilets do I need for my event or job site?
Count your workers or guests first. For construction sites, OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer; 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up; and 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers if you've got 200 or more. If you're unsure whether you're calculating right, check our guide to how many porta potties you need or call Macon Porta Pros with your headcount. Events are different: a wedding, festival or outdoor party usually needs one unit per 75 guests, but if it's a full day with alcohol, add one more. Browse event restroom rental options to see the deluxe and ADA accessible units that work best for crowds.
What's the difference between standard, deluxe and ADA accessible units?
A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground. Deluxe units add a sink, flushing toilet and hand sanitizer for customers who want the upgrade. ADA accessible restrooms must meet ADA Standards section 213.2, meaning at least 5 percent of your cluster, and never fewer than one unit, must be wheelchair accessible with a 60 inch diameter turning circle and a 32 inch clear door opening. Pricing runs higher for deluxe and ADA models because they take longer to service and reset. Macon Porta Pros can deliver any combination to your site the same day you call, or schedule weeks ahead if you prefer.
How often does my unit get serviced?
Standard service is once per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, following ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. If your site runs heavier traffic, we service twice a week or more. High-traffic events in Macon sometimes call for daily service. Read about how often porta potties are cleaned for details on what happens during each visit: we pump the tank, restock toilet paper and hand sanitizer, and leave the unit ready. If a unit fills faster than expected, call and we'll add a service without waiting for the scheduled day.
Do I need a permit to place a portable toilet on my property?
Placement in the public right of way requires confirming with the city of Macon. Private property, your home, your construction site, your business lot, usually doesn't need a permit if the unit sits on your own land. Check our guide to porta potty permit requirements and call your local code office if you're unsure. Macon Porta Pros can advise on placement that keeps your site clear of driveways, walkways and utility lines. Learn more about proper porta potty placement so your unit doesn't become a liability.
What's the rental cost for different durations?
| Unit Type | Daily | Weekly | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 100 to 350 | 130 to 500 | 125 to 325 |
| Deluxe | 85 to 1,200 | 150 to 290 | Not available |
| ADA Accessible | 200 to 400 | 120 to 240 | Not available |
These ranges reflect service area variations and equipment condition. Call Macon Porta Pros for a firm quote tied to your site address and rental length. Delivery fees typically run $50 to $150 for weekly or monthly rentals; weekend delivery and service cost more.

Do you offer other services besides portable toilets?
Yes. Macon Porta Pros also rents roll-off dumpsters for construction debris, restroom trailers for bigger events and job sites, storage containers for tools and materials, temporary fencing for site security, and septic tank pumping. A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on household size. We handle grease interceptor pumping for restaurants too.
