Saint Paul Porta Pros rents porta john units by the day, week, month or weekend, with a standard unit running roughly $100 to $350 a day depending on length of rental and site needs. Most Saint Paul jobs land on a weekly or monthly term once crews figure out their actual timeline.
Porta john rental price depends on how long you need the unit and how many you order. A single standard unit runs $100 to $350 a day, $130 to $500 for a week, and $125 to $325 for a month, based on measured pricing across the market. Weekend rentals, common for backyard parties or a Saturday build, run $125 to $400. If you want something nicer than a standard unit, a deluxe flushable porta john adds a flush mechanism and sink, and pricing moves up from there. Delivery is usually billed separately, and most delivery fees fall between $100 and $500 depending on distance and access.

A standard porta john 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 what determines how often the unit needs service on longer jobs, and it is the same footprint whether you are renting for a construction crew in downtown Saint Paul or a weekend event in West St. Paul, 4.3 miles south. If ground space is tight, ask about placement before delivery day. Our porta potty placement guide covers clearance, ground stability and how close a unit can sit to a structure or property line.
For jobsites with a lot of foot traffic, spacing units out matters more than cramming them near the gate. Crews running a construction dumpster rental alongside portable toilets often place both near the same access point, which keeps deliveries efficient and keeps the roll-off dumpster rental truck from needing to maneuver around toilet units. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so plan your layout with that in mind if you are ordering both.
OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the ratio for construction sites: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers as headcount climbs past that, dropping to one per 50 workers at 200 or more. That ratio is the starting point for any job site in Saint Paul, whether you are staffing a renovation crew or a multi-week commercial build. For a full walkthrough of how the math works with mixed shifts, see OSHA portable toilet requirements or use our how many porta potties do I need guide to size an order before you call.
Farms and agricultural operations follow a different standard: OSHA 1928.110 requires one facility per 20 hand-labor employees, located within a quarter mile walk. That rule matters for growers working land outside the city core, and our farm and agricultural restrooms page breaks down how that applies to seasonal crews. Sites with accessibility needs should also plan for ADA Standards 213.2, which requires at least 5 percent of clustered single-user units to be accessible, and never fewer than one. Our ADA accessible porta john rental covers that unit type and its dimensions in detail.
Yes. Saint Paul Porta Pros offers deluxe and trailer-style units for weddings, festivals and private parties where a standard unit will not cut it. A luxury restroom trailer with multiple stalls, running water and interior lighting fits a wedding at a venue in Saint Paul or a corporate event with a dressier guest list. Trailer rentals run from $175 to $2,500 a day depending on size and stall count, and multi-day event packages run higher. For weekend events specifically, expect trailer pricing in the $900 to $3,000 range.
If you are planning something smaller, like a backyard gathering or a graduation party, a deluxe flushable porta john covers most of what guests expect without the trailer price tag. Event planners comparing options should look at our event restroom rental page, and anyone planning a wedding specifically should check wedding restroom rental for stall counts by guest size. Festival organizers can find guidance at festival restroom rental, and race directors will want marathon and race restrooms for portable placement along a course.
Saint Paul Porta Pros also services Maplewood, 8.8 miles northeast, and Roseville, 9.0 miles northwest, for events that fall just outside city limits. Check service areas for full coverage.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery, since permit rules vary by location and were not verified for this page. For jobsite placement on private property, permits are usually not required, but check with your site supervisor. See porta potty permit requirements for what to ask the city before you order.
A porta john is a single-unit standalone toilet, while a restroom trailer includes multiple stalls, sinks and often climate control. Trailers cost significantly more, starting around $175 a day, versus $100 to $350 for a standard porta john. See portable restroom rental for a full comparison.
Weekly rentals typically include one service visit for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the baseline standard for portable sanitation. Heavier-use sites need more frequent service. Ask about your specific site at how often are porta potties cleaned.
If workers are applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities on site. Most standard units do not include a sink, so pair your order with a handwashing station rental or a portable sink rental to stay compliant.
