Yes, Providence Porta Pros builds restroom packages around call sheets, not calendars: single-day shoots, 3-day event windows, and month-long productions all get the same fast turnaround. A standard unit starts at 100 dollars a day, and crews of 20 or fewer meet OSHA 1926.51(c) with a single toilet facility.
Start with headcount, then let the schedule decide the mix. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the floor: one toilet for crews of 20 or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers as the roster climbs. A tight indie shoot with 15 crew and two principal actors often runs fine on a standard porta potty rental plus one upgraded unit near base camp. Bigger productions, the ones with trailers, craft services, and a holding area, usually want a restroom trailer rental instead, since flushing fixtures and climate control matter when talent is waiting between takes. A 2 stall restroom trailer covers a mid-size crew; an 8 stall restroom trailer handles a full union call with background actors. Producers in Providence also ask about ADA units for cast members or crew who need one; ADA accessible porta potty rentals meet ADA Standards 213.2, which requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster, and the clear door opening on those units meets ADA Standards 404.2.3 at 32 inches. Locations off Route 6 or near the waterfront sometimes need generator-powered lighting too; a light tower rental or portable generator rental for film pairs well with a restroom order when a scene runs past dusk. Check how many porta potties do i need before you lock the budget.
Location scouts want a number before they call, so here is the range by unit type and rental length.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard portable toilet | 100-350 | 130-500 | 125-325 |
| ADA accessible unit | 200-400 | 120-240 | -- |
| Deluxe flushable unit | 85-1200 | 150-290 | -- |
| Restroom trailer | 175-2500 | 150-1650 | -- |
Delivery runs 100 to 500 dollars for a single-day shoot, or 50 to 150 for a full week, depending on how far the crew is parked from a paved access road. A weekend feature shoot, Friday call to Sunday wrap, typically lands between 900 and 3,000 dollars for a trailer package once delivery and service are folded in. Full breakdowns live on the porta potty rental cost and restroom trailer rental cost pages, and productions billing by the day should check porta potty rental per day before locking a line item. Multi-week productions filming around Providence do better on the monthly porta potty rental rate than stacking weekly invoices.
Not automatically. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before a location manager signs off, since street parking, sidewalk clearance, and neighborhood shoot permits all factor into where a unit or trailer can sit. Private lots and closed sets have more flexibility, but the crew still needs firm, level ground: ADA Standards 302.1 requires a stable, slip-resistant surface under any accessible unit, and a roll-off or trailer delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to unload safely. If the shoot involves practical effects work, paint, or set dressing with solvents, handwashing after that work falls under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1), which covers washing facilities where painting, coatings, or similar contaminants are present; a handwashing station rental or portable sink rental satisfies that on set. General crew handwashing setups should still carry soap and towels per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), since hand sanitizer alone does not meet that standard. Productions running a base camp with equipment trucks often add a temporary fence rental or crowd control barrier rental to keep background traffic away from gear, and a storage container rental or mobile office trailer rental for wardrobe and props. See the porta potty placement guide and porta potty permit requirements pages before finalizing a lot agreement. Crews filming near North Providence, 4.2 miles northwest, or East Providence, 4.8 miles southeast, get the same delivery window as jobs inside city limits.
Often, yes, especially for a single unit or two, though same-day availability depends on truck routing that day. Call ahead when possible. For last-minute location changes or a weather-driven reschedule, the emergency porta potty rental line handles rush requests faster than a standard order form.
A standard unit has a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank and no sink; a deluxe flushable unit adds a flush mechanism and handwashing station, which matters for talent trailers. See deluxe flushable porta potty for specs and sizing before you assign units to crew versus cast.
Yes. Productions running overnight stunts, water work, or extended location days often add a shower trailer alongside the restroom order. The shower trailer rental page covers stall counts and hookup needs for that kind of setup.
Book as soon as the location and call sheet are set, since trailers and ADA units book out faster than standard toilets. A request a quote submitted early locks pricing before a competing production takes the same delivery window.
Possibly. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city, and requirements shift by street and neighborhood. Check porta potty permit requirements and confirm with your location manager before the shoot date.
