"Porta john" is just another name for a portable toilet, and Providence Porta Pros rents them by the day, week, event and month. A standard unit runs $100 to $350 a day depending on term length, with weekly and monthly rates dropping the per-day cost. Most Providence jobs book a standard or deluxe unit.
Porta john rental price depends on the unit and how long you need it. A standard porta potty rental runs $100 to $350 a day, $130 to $500 for the week, and $125 to $325 a month once you're renting for a stretch. Want something nicer for guests? A deluxe flushable porta john starts around $85 a day and can run up to $1,200 depending on features, with weekly rates between $150 and $290. If the site needs an accessible unit, ADA-compliant units run $200 to $400 a day or $199 to $300 for a weekend. Delivery is usually a separate line, typically $100 to $150 for a single day and $50 to $100 a week when it's bundled into a longer rental. For a fuller breakdown by term, see our porta potty rental cost page, our per day rates, or the monthly rental numbers if this is a longer job.

A standard unit measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank inside. That tank size is why ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit a week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week; heavier use means more frequent pumping. If you're placing units on a construction site in Providence, OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the ratio: one toilet for 20 or fewer workers, then one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers once you cross that threshold, scaling to one per 50 at 200 or more workers. Not sure how many you need for your crew size? Our how many porta potties do I need guide walks through the math, and the OSHA portable toilet requirements page covers the ratio in more detail. For jobs needing more than a standalone unit, a portable restroom rental or full portable toilet rental package can bundle handwashing and service into one order.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery day, so check with Providence before units go curbside or on a sidewalk. If the unit sits entirely on private property, that step usually isn't needed, but sidewalk or street placement is where it gets checked. Our porta potty permit requirements page has more on how that process works, and the placement guide covers ground clearance and access needs. If you're renting for a construction site rather than an event, our construction site services page bundles porta johns with dumpsters and fencing, which simplifies the paperwork side since one delivery covers several needs at once. For weddings, festivals, or a single-day gathering, an event restroom rental or wedding restroom rental skips most of the permit questions entirely since those are almost always on private land.
Yes. A luxury porta john rental, what we'd call a deluxe or restroom trailer unit, works well for weddings, corporate events and any gathering where guests expect more than a standard unit. Deluxe units run $85 to $1,200 a day depending on features, and for bigger events a full restroom trailer rental with multiple stalls is often the better call. A 2 stall restroom trailer suits a smaller gathering, while an 8 stall restroom trailer handles a larger one, and our luxury restroom trailer page shows the higher-end options. Trailers run from $175 a day up into the thousands for multi-day events, and a dedicated event package like ours can hit $2,499 to $3,899 for a full weekend. If you're planning a wedding, festival, or concert restroom rental anywhere near Providence, book early since trailers move fast in peak season. ADA Standards 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster of portable toilets, and never fewer than 5 percent of the total, so factor that into your headcount.
Providence sits close to several towns we also serve. North Providence is 4.2 miles northwest, East Providence is 4.8 miles southeast, and Pawtucket is 5.1 miles northeast, so drivers covering Providence typically handle those routes same-day. Cranston is 8.7 miles southwest and Johnston is 7.7 miles west if your job spans multiple sites. Check our service areas page for the complete list, or jump straight to Pawtucket or Cranston if that's closer to your job.
For a single-day event with 50 guests, two to three standard units usually covers it, plus one ADA-accessible unit per ADA Standards 213.2. Longer events or events serving alcohol need more units per person since usage climbs. Our how many porta potties do I need guide has a fuller breakdown by headcount and hours.
A porta john is a single-stall standalone unit; a restroom trailer has multiple stalls, sinks, and often flushing toilets inside a climate-controlled trailer. Trailers cost more but suit weddings and corporate events better. See restroom trailer rental for stall counts and pricing.
ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a standard 40 hour week. High-traffic events or job sites often need more frequent pumping. Our how often are porta potties cleaned page covers what a service visit includes.
Not automatically. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand-drying device at washing stations, which hand sanitizer alone doesn't satisfy. Add a handwashing station rental or portable sink rental to any porta john order for full compliance.
