Where can I rent a porta potty in Baton Rouge?
You rent it right here. Baton Rouge Porta Pros covers the city and the towns nearby, from Westminster 4.3 miles southeast to Merrydale 5.5 miles north. We drop units for construction sites, backyard jobs and events across the parish. If you are out in Central, that is 12.2 miles northeast of us, and we still deliver there. Baker sits 13.1 miles north, Zachary 19.1 miles north, and both are on the route. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city first, so check our permit guide before you set a unit at the curb. Not sure what you need? Start with the rental checklist or call us. We handle single-unit home renovation drops and multi-unit festival orders the same way. For a full breakdown of the local delivery zone, the service areas page lists every town with real driving distance.
What does portable toilet rental cost in Baton Rouge?
Price depends on the unit and how long you keep it. A standard unit is the cheapest way in; a deluxe flushable model costs more, and a restroom trailer sits at the top. Here is the short version, with full detail on the cost page.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 150 | 200 | 200 |
| ADA accessible | 230 | 185 | - |
| Deluxe flushable | 300 | 250 | - |
| Roll-off dumpster | 75 | 600 | 108 |
Longer rentals lower your effective daily rate, so a monthly porta potty is the better buy on a long job. Delivery is billed separately. Want the daily math? See the per-day breakdown. For trailers, the trailer cost page runs the numbers, and dumpster pricing lives on the dumpster cost page.
How fast can you deliver?
Most orders land within a day or two. If a job goes sideways and you need a unit now, emergency porta potty rental moves faster, and we run emergency septic service the same way. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so clear the approach before we arrive. A standard unit is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands about 92 inches tall, so it fits most gates and side yards. Tell us the surface. ADA Standards section 302.1 wants ground that is stable, firm and slip resistant, and a soft lawn after Louisiana rain is none of those. Our placement guide walks through siting, and if you are staging a disaster relief response we can pre-position units. For distances out to Gardere, 8.6 miles south of Baton Rouge, add a little lead time. Contact us with your date and we will lock it in.
What are the four unit types and who is each for?
Four main choices. The standard portable toilet suits construction crews and busy sites; it has a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank and it is the workhorse of any portable restroom rental. The deluxe flushable unit adds a foot pump and a sink, which weddings and nicer events want; see the wedding page. The ADA accessible unit meets ADA Standards section 213.2, where at least 5 percent of clustered units, and never fewer than one, must be accessible. The restroom trailer is the step up for concerts and golf tournaments, with a 2 stall, 4 stall or 8 stall layout. Some folks call the basic unit a porta john; same thing. Camping? See the camping unit. Farm work has its own agricultural restroom rules under OSHA 1928.110.
How does the service work once the unit is on site?
We drop it, we service it, we haul it when you are done. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, and that is what most standard rentals get. A service visit means we pump the tank, refill supplies and clean the interior. If your crew is bigger or the traffic is heavier, we bump the frequency; our cleaning schedule page explains how we decide. Wondering whether these units smell? Regular service is the answer, and the how they work page covers the deodorizer and the tank. In a Baton Rouge summer we watch service intervals closely. For long jobs we also handle septic pumping and grease trap pumping, where the trap gets pumped once fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. Ask about a schedule.
How many porta potties do I need for my site?
Depends on headcount and hours. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the construction baseline: one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up, and one per 50 workers once you hit 200. Our how many do I need calculator does the math for you, and the OSHA requirements page lays out the rules in plain terms. Events run different math than job sites, so check the event restroom page if you are planning a party. General industry, meaning non-construction workplaces, follows OSHA 1910.141(c)(1)(i) instead. Baton Rouge crews doing outdoor labor should also plan potable water; OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) requires an adequate supply in all places of employment. Add a handwashing station and you have covered the basics. A marathon or race needs far more units per person than a quiet site.
What about handwashing, dumpsters and the rest?
We are not toilets only. A handwashing station rental keeps you compliant; 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) says washing facilities need soap and towels or a drying device, and hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy it. If your crew applies paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that work, so pair a portable sink with the job. We also rent roll-off dumpsters in 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes, plus storage containers in 20ft and 40ft, temporary fence, crowd control barriers and light towers. Check what cannot go in a dumpster and the weight limits before you load. A sanitizer station rounds out a busy Baton Rouge event.
Why rent from Baton Rouge Porta Pros?
Because we are local and we pick up the phone. Baton Rouge Porta Pros handles the whole order start to finish, from a single unit for a film set to a full county fair build. You get one point of contact for toilets, trailers, shower trailers, dumpsters and septic work. Read more about us or browse the FAQ. We serve Inniswold 5.5 miles southeast and Oak Hills Place 7.2 miles southeast on the same routes as the city core. Winter still needs planning, so the porta potty in winter guide helps, and ADA restroom requirements covers accessible events. Need a mobile office trailer or a temporary power pole too? We stock those. Request a quote and we will build the order around your date, your headcount and your site.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a standard porta potty rental?
About 150 dollars a day for a standard unit, with weekly and monthly rates that lower the daily cost on longer jobs. Delivery is billed on top. The cost page shows the full bands, and the per-day page breaks down short rentals.
How often do you service the unit?
Once a week is the baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, sized for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Heavier traffic gets more frequent visits. Each service pumps the tank, refills supplies and cleans the interior. See the cleaning schedule.
Do I need a permit to place one?
On private property, usually not. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city first, and we name no rule here because it is not verified. Check the permit guide and call the city before you set a unit on the street.
How many units does my job site need?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers above that. Our how many do I need tool runs your headcount. Events use different ratios; see the event page.
What size dumpster should I rent?
Depends on the debris. A 10 yard suits small cleanouts, a 40 yard handles big construction hauls. Compare the sizes and dimensions and mind the weight limits. Remember a roll-off needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck.
Do you handle septic and grease traps?
Yes. We pump residential septic tanks, typically every 3 to 5 years depending on tank and household size, and grease traps once solids reach 25 percent of liquid depth. Watch for warning signs and call emergency septic service if it backs up.
Which unit is best for a wedding?
The deluxe flushable unit or a luxury restroom trailer, depending on your guest count and budget. Both add sinks and a cleaner interior than a standard unit. See the wedding restroom page for how many to book.
