What comes inside a standard porta potty?
A standard porta potty has a molded seat, a urinal, a 60-gallon holding tank, two toilet paper rolls, a hand sanitizer dispenser and a roof vent. The standard unit needs no water or power. A translucent roof lets in daylight, and the door latch shows an occupied sign.
Standard units are the workhorse of every Allentown jobsite and most backyard parties. They stand about 7.5 feet tall and take up less space than a parking stall. The floor is slip-resistant plastic. Every unit leaves the yard washed and charged with blue deodorizer.
Need a sink inside? Step up to the deluxe flushing unit, or pair standard units with hand wash stations.

Is a standard porta potty right for my job?
A standard porta potty is right for construction crews, home remodels, cookouts and graduation parties where guests do not need a sink inside. A standard unit is the wrong choice for a formal wedding, a crowd needing wheelchair access, or any event serving food without a separate hand wash station.
Good fit
- Construction crews and roofers
- Bathroom or kitchen remodels
- Backyard parties up to about 50 guests per unit
- Church picnics, ballfields, block parties
Wrong fit
- Formal weddings where guests expect a sink and mirror
- Guests who use wheelchairs or walkers – book an accessible unit
- Food events with no hand wash station nearby
How much does a standard porta potty cost to rent?
A standard porta potty starts at $249 for a weekend event in Allentown, with Friday delivery and Monday pickup included. A jobsite unit starts at $199 per 28-day cycle with weekly service, plus a one-time $75 delivery and pickup fee. Pennsylvania's 6% sales tax goes on top.
Prices are starting prices for Lehigh Valley addresses. Distance, quantity and extra service visits change the total. The porta potty price guide breaks down every line.
Where should I put a standard porta potty?
Put a standard porta potty on flat, firm ground within about 15 feet of where the truck can park. Grass, gravel, concrete and packed dirt all work. Keep the door facing away from windows and toward a path. A standard unit is about 44 inches wide, so a 4-foot gate is enough.
- Avoid soft lawns right after heavy rain.
- Leave 2 feet of clearance on the door side.
- On a slope, pick the flattest spot; a tilted unit rocks and the door swings.
- Keep it off the public sidewalk unless you hold a city permit.

How often is a standard porta potty cleaned?
A jobsite standard porta potty is cleaned once a week, and that weekly service is included. The technician pumps the tank, scrubs the seat and walls, adds fresh deodorizer and restocks paper and sanitizer. Event rentals of 1 to 3 days arrive clean and need no mid-event service.
Busy crews over 10 people can add a second weekly visit. One-off extra cleanings can be booked with a phone call.
How does a standard porta potty compare with a deluxe unit?
A standard porta potty has no flush and no sink, while a deluxe unit flushes with a foot pedal and has a sink inside. A standard unit costs less and suits crews and casual parties. A deluxe unit suits showers, office events and weddings where guests expect hand washing inside.

Standard porta potty questions
Does a standard porta potty have a urinal and a seat?
Every standard unit has both a molded seat and a wall urinal. The urinal drains into the same 60-gallon tank, which keeps the seat cleaner on jobsites.
Is there hand sanitizer in a standard unit?
Each standard unit has a wall-mounted sanitizer dispenser, filled before delivery and refilled at every weekly service. For food events, add a hand wash station with soap and water.
Is a standard porta potty big enough for a larger person?
The standard interior is about 40 inches wide inside. Larger adults who want more room should rent the wheelchair-accessible unit, which has a 60-inch turning space and grab bars.
Will a standard porta potty fit through my backyard gate?
At about 44 by 48 inches, the unit fits a 4-foot gate if the path is firm and no more than about 15 feet from the truck.
Can I put a lock on the porta potty?
A hasp lock can be added at no charge. Many jobsite and pool renters lock the unit overnight to keep strangers out. Tell us where you'll leave the key for the service tech.
Does the standard unit come with toilet paper?
Each unit arrives with two rolls in a locking holder. Jobsite units get fresh paper at every weekly service. Extra rolls can be left on request.
