How Much Does a Porta Potty Cost Per Month?
A standard unit averages $200 a month, with a low end near $125 and a high end near $325 depending on service frequency and distance from our yard. Compare that to porta potty rental per day pricing, where a single day runs $100 to $350, and the monthly math becomes obvious for anything longer than a couple of weeks. Weekly rentals sit between $130 and $500, so a long term portable toilet rental almost always beats renting week to week if the job stretches past a month, and anyone comparing portable toilet rental cost per month against weekly stacking usually lands on the same conclusion. Delivery adds $120 to $420 depending on where in Eau Claire the site sits, and most contractors bundle that into the first invoice. If you are still framing out the job timeline, our porta potty rental cost page breaks down day, week and month side by side. Home renovation crews doing a kitchen gut or an addition often start on a weekly plan and switch to monthly once the drywall schedule slips, which happens more than people expect. Anyone typing porta potty rental cost per month near me is usually in that exact spot, mid-project and ready to lock in a porta potty rental per month rate instead of paying week by week.

What's Included in a Long Term Porta Potty Rental?
A monthly unit includes the toilet, a weekly service visit, and delivery within our standard Eau Claire radius. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets the baseline service interval at once a week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, and that is the schedule we default to unless the job runs heavier traffic. A standard porta potty rental holds 60 to 70 gallons and stands about 92 inches tall on a 44 by 48 inch footprint, so it fits in a job trailer's shadow without eating much site space. Crews running an active build should check OSHA 1926.51(c), which sets toilet counts by crew size: one unit for 20 workers or fewer, one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up, and one per 50 once you pass 200 workers. If your crew count changes month to month, our how many porta potties do I need guide walks through the ratio. Farms running hand labor crews fall under a different rule, OSHA 1928.110, which calls for one facility per 20 employees within a quarter mile walk, and we set up accordingly for farm and agricultural restrooms around Eau Claire and out toward Altoona, 5.1 miles southeast.
Can I Get a Monthly Rate on an ADA Unit?
ADA units are priced by the day and week, not by the month, so a long term ADA rental gets quoted directly based on job length and unit count. If your site needs an ADA accessible porta potty, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires that where single-user units are clustered, at least 5 percent, and never fewer than one, be accessible. That unit needs a 60 inch turning circle under section 304.3.1 and a door opening of at least 32 inches per section 404.2.3, so placement matters more than it does with a standard unit. We handle that during the site walk, same as we do for event restroom rental jobs and weddings.
Do I Need a Permit for a Long Term Unit?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the City of Eau Claire before delivery, since permit rules and fees are not something we guess at. If your unit sits fully on private property, set back from the sidewalk and street, permitting is usually a non issue, but we always check before we drop a unit near a curb or on a shared lot. Our porta potty permit requirements page covers what to ask the city, and dumpster permit requirements covers the same question for roll-off placement if your job needs both. For projects near Chippewa Falls, 11.1 miles northeast, or Menomonie, 24.3 miles west, permit rules differ by municipality, so we confirm placement for each site rather than assuming Eau Claire rules carry over.
Long term jobs often need more than a toilet. A handwashing station rental pairs with any monthly unit and satisfies 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), which requires soap and towels or a hand drying device, not hand sanitizer alone. If your crew is spraying paint, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities specifically for that contaminant exposure, and a portable sink rental covers it. Renovation and demo jobs usually pair the toilet with a roll-off dumpster rental, and if the site needs to stay secured overnight, a temporary fence rental runs $30 to $75 a day. Longer builds sometimes add a storage container rental for tools and materials, priced from $100 to $250 a month, which lines up well with a monthly toilet contract on the same invoice.
How long is a long term porta potty rental?
Anything past two to three weeks is typically billed monthly instead of weekly, since the monthly rate usually beats stacking weekly charges. That threshold is also where long term porta potty rental cost starts to matter more than the day rate. Most of our Eau Claire accounts run three to six months, tracking a construction or renovation timeline, then either extend or wrap when the job closes out.
Does the monthly price include cleaning?
Yes. A weekly service visit is built into the monthly rate, following the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline interval for standard use. Heavier crews or larger headcounts sometimes need two visits a week, which we quote separately based on the site.
Can I switch from weekly to monthly mid-project?
Yes, and we do this often. If a weekly rental stretches past three or four weeks, we convert the contract to a monthly rate and credit the difference where it applies, so you are not paying weekly pricing on a month-long job.
What if my project runs less than a month?
A weekly or daily rate makes more sense. Check monthly porta potty rental against our porta potty rental per day numbers before committing, since short jobs rarely benefit from a monthly contract.
Do you deliver to farms and rural sites outside Eau Claire?
Yes, including sites near Seymour, 3.5 miles east, and Lake Hallie, 8.1 miles northeast. Delivery fees scale with distance, and rural sites sometimes need extra lead time for scheduling around planting or harvest.
