What makes a porta potty wheelchair-accessible?
A wheelchair-accessible porta potty has a ground-level floor with no step, a wide door, grab bars beside the seat and a 60-inch diameter turning space inside. The accessible unit is about 7 feet square outside. A self-closing door and an inside latch round out the features guests rely on.
We call this unit wheelchair-accessible, and we size orders using the 2010 ADA Standards. Whether a specific setup meets the law also depends on the ground, the path and the slope, which the event host controls. Confirm route and surface needs with your venue or permit office.
Many renters also choose this unit for parents with strollers, older guests, and larger adults who want more room.

Accessible unit setups
How many wheelchair-accessible porta potties do I need?
The 2010 ADA Standards, section 213.2, say that where portable toilets are clustered, at least 5 percent of the units in each cluster must be accessible, and never fewer than 1. A cluster of 10 units needs 1 accessible unit. A cluster of 21 units needs 2 accessible units.
Good fit
- Public festivals, fairs and parades
- Church events, graduations and ceremonies
- Jobsites with a worker who needs accessible facilities
- Any event with older guests or strollers
Wrong fit
- Sites where the only spot is steep, soft or gravel-deep – the path matters as much as the unit
- Very tight backyards with gates under 7 feet wide
How much does an ADA porta potty cost?
A wheelchair-accessible porta potty starts at $299 for a weekend event in Allentown, delivered before the event and picked up Monday. A jobsite accessible unit starts at $259 per 28-day cycle with weekly service, plus the one-time delivery and pickup fee. Add 6% PA sales tax to the total.
See every line item in the porta potty price guide.
Where should the accessible unit be placed?
Place the wheelchair-accessible unit on the firmest, flattest ground at the event, at the end of the cluster nearest the main path. Keep the door clear of tent stakes, cords and hoses. A level concrete or packed surface beats grass after rain for wheelchairs.
- Leave a 5-foot clear area in front of the door.
- Avoid placing it behind a curb or step.
- Light the path for evening events.
How is the accessible unit cleaned?
The accessible unit is cleaned the same way as a standard unit: pump, scrub, deodorize, restock. Jobsite accessible units get that service weekly. Event units arrive scrubbed and stocked, and multi-day public events book a service visit between days.
Accessible unit or restroom trailer for guests with mobility needs?
A wheelchair-accessible porta potty sits at ground level with no steps, while most restroom trailers have stairs. For guests who use wheelchairs, the accessible unit is the safer choice even at an event that also has a trailer. Pair one accessible unit with any trailer order.

Wheelchair-accessible porta potty questions
Is a handicap porta potty the same as an ADA porta potty?
People use both names for the same thing: a ground-level unit with grab bars and a 60-inch turning space. We call it wheelchair-accessible, and we size orders using the 2010 ADA Standards.
Do I need an accessible unit for a private backyard party?
A private party at a home is usually not covered by the ADA. Still, if a guest uses a wheelchair or walker, one accessible unit makes the day easier for them.
How big is an ADA porta potty?
The accessible unit is about 7 feet by 7 feet outside and about 7.5 feet tall. Plan a delivery path at least 7 feet wide.
Can I swap one standard unit for an accessible unit?
Any standard unit in your order can be swapped for an accessible unit up to 24 business hours before delivery, while stock lasts.
Do contractors need an accessible jobsite toilet?
OSHA does not require a specific accessible unit for every jobsite, but a worker with a disability may need one as an accommodation. Ask your safety officer, then call us.
Is the accessible unit good for parents with kids?
Parents like the extra room for a stroller or for helping a small child. The grab bars help older guests too.
