What does a porta potty cost to rent in Macon?
Most people want one number, so here it is. If you want to rent a porta potty and just need one rent porta potty prices figure to start, this is it. A basic standard porta potty is the cheapest thing on the full price menu, and the deluxe flushable model sits above it. The ADA accessible unit meets ADA Standards section 404.2.3 for a 32 inch clear door and costs a bit more than standard. A restroom trailer is a different animal on price. If you want a port o john rental or to rent a porta john for a jobsite, start with the standard, and if you want to rent a portable restroom for a nicer setting, look at the deluxe. Weekend numbers below cover a Friday-to-Monday event drop, and port o potties for rent that way carry a short-term premium. See the per-day math or the monthly rate for longer holds.

What is the full price list?
Here are the ranges by unit and duration, so you can see the portable toilet rental cost at a glance. Delivery, service and pickup are billed as separate lines, not folded into the rental. Weekend is a short-term premium, so it is quoted in prose, not in this table.
| 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 | $240 | - |
| Restroom trailer | $175 to $2500 | $1650 | - |
For weekend rates: a standard unit runs $125 to $400, the ADA unit $199 to $300, and a trailer $900 to $3000. Fees below are separate.
| Fee | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery | $50 to $150 | $120 to $420 |
| Service | $30 to $220 | $100 to $300 |
Pickup is folded into the delivery line. See cost drivers for what pushes portable toilet rental costs high or low.
Why do prices vary so much?
Two rentals at the same address can quote differently, so how much a porta potty rental runs comes down to a few things. Distance is one. We serve Macon plus Byron 14.7 miles south and Bolingbroke 15.9 miles northwest, and a longer drive raises the delivery fee. Duration is another. Under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the baseline is one service visit a week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, so a busy site needs extra visits that add to the bill. Unit type moves it hard: a deluxe flushable or a luxury trailer costs multiples of a standard unit. Access matters too. A tight placement or a locked gate slows the truck. Volume helps: ten units for a festival price better per unit than one for a backyard reno in Macon.
What is included in the rental price?
The rate covers the unit, delivery, one weekly service, and pickup at the end. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons in the tank and stands about 92 inches tall on a footprint of roughly 44 by 48 inches, so plan the spot before we arrive. Service means pumping the tank, refilling paper, and sanitizing. That interval follows ANSI/PSAI Z4.3: once a week for normal traffic. On a construction site, OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets one toilet for up to 20 workers, so the right count is part of a fair quote. If you add a handwashing station, note that 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels, and hand sanitizer alone does not meet it. Extra service visits, holding tank pumping, and long hauls to Perry 27.6 miles south are add-ons. Ask Macon Porta Pros what is bundled.
How much does an event rental cost?
Events price differently than jobsites because they run short and hit hard for a few hours. A standard event unit runs $200 to $800 for the day, which reflects the setup and the higher-than-normal traffic over a compressed window. Weddings usually want the flushable trailer, and a full event trailer books at $2499 to $3899. For a concert or a county fair, unit count drives the total more than the per-unit rate. Use the count guide to size it. A marathon or race needs units spread along the course, and a golf tournament needs them at the turn. For accessibility, ADA Standards section 213.2 says at least 5 percent of clustered units, and never fewer than one, must be accessible. That one ADA unit belongs in your event budget from the start, not as an afterthought in Macon.
What do the other services cost?
People renting toilets often need more than toilets, so here is the rest. A roll-off dumpster runs $51 to $112 a day or $426 to $778 a week, and the truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it to drop one. Check dumpster sizes and what cannot go in before you load. A storage container runs $100 to $250 a month, and a 20ft container fits most Macon lots. Temporary fence runs $30 to $75 a day per section, useful for crowd control. Septic pumping runs $150 to $300; a home tank gets pumped every 3 to 5 years by size. A grease trap gets pumped at 25 percent of liquid depth. Add a light tower or power pole for night work.
What does a fair quote look like?
A good quote names the number in three parts: unit rate, delivery, and service. That is how much a portable toilet rental should read on paper, and what a portable toilet rental cost breaks into. Vague all-in pricing hides the cost of the second service visit or the long haul to Centerville 15.8 miles south. Ask for the per-day rate and the monthly rate both, then compare against your hold length. On construction, tie the count to OSHA 1926.51(c)(1): one seat per 20 workers, scaling to a seat and a urinal per 40 above that. Where crews apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities, so a portable sink belongs on the quote. Confirm the service interval in writing. If you place a unit in the public right of way in Macon, that placement needs confirming with the city first, and we do not name a rule we cannot verify. See the rental checklist before you sign.
How do the three common jobs price out?
A weekend backyard wedding for 120 guests: one flushable trailer plus one ADA unit for the 213.2 requirement, delivered Friday and pulled Monday. Budget the trailer weekend band of $900 to $3000 plus the ADA weekend rate and one delivery fee.
A month-long home renovation: one standard unit on the monthly rate, one weekly service, one delivery, one pickup. That is the cheapest line on the cost page.
A 30-worker jobsite for eight weeks: two standard units to satisfy OSHA 1926.51(c)(1), a handwashing station meeting 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), and a roll-off dumpster. Weekly service on each. Call Macon Porta Pros to price it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a porta potty cost per day in Macon?
A standard unit runs $100 to $350 for a single day, before delivery. Delivery adds $100 to $500 depending on distance and access. For a short hold, the per-day page breaks the math down further, and Macon Porta Pros can confirm your address.
Is a weekly rental cheaper than daily?
Per day, yes. A standard unit at $130 to $500 for a full week beats paying the daily rate seven times, and it includes one service visit under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. Longer monthly holds drop the per-day cost further.
What does delivery cost?
Delivery is a separate line, $50 to $150 on a weekly rental and $120 to $420 monthly. Distance drives it, so a drop in Macon costs less than one out to Warner Robins 18.7 miles south. Pickup is included in that fee.
Do I need an ADA unit at my event?
If units are clustered, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent accessible, and never fewer than one. So a single ADA unit covers most small events. It runs $199 to $300 on a weekend.
How many porta potties do I need?
On a jobsite, OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets one toilet per 20 workers. For events, it scales with crowd size and hours. The count guide walks you through both, and we size it free.
What is the cheapest option?
A standard unit on a monthly rate is the lowest per-day cost, at $125 to $325 for the month. A single event day costs more per unit because of setup and heavier traffic over a few hours.
Can I rent a dumpster and toilet together?
Yes, and it is common on Macon jobsites. A roll-off dumpster plus a porta potty on one order saves a trip. The dumpster truck needs 60 feet of straight clearance to drop. Request a quote for a combined price.
