A standard porta potty rental in Dearborn Heights runs $100 to $350 a day depending on rental length and delivery timing, with weekly rates between $130 and $500. It is the same unit contractors, homeowners and event planners all reach for first: one 60 to 70 gallon tank, one door, no frills, built to work.
A standard unit is the base model of portable toilet rental: one stall, one holding tank, no sink, no flush handle. It measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, so it fits tight side yards and job sites around Dearborn Heights without eating up space you need for materials or parking. The tank holds 60 to 70 gallons. That is enough for a work crew across a standard service interval, and ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets the baseline service visit at once a week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, which is why most rentals here get serviced on that cycle. If you want more than the basics, the deluxe flushable porta potty adds a flush mechanism and a sink, and the ADA accessible porta potty is built to a wider footprint for wheelchair access. For most driveways, backyards and job sites, though, the standard porta john rental is what actually gets ordered. Compare it against the portable restroom rental options if you are weighing a trailer instead.
Pricing depends on how long you keep the unit and how far out you're delivering. Here is what the standard unit runs across common rental windows:
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $100 | $150 | $350 |
| Weekend | $125 | $250 | $400 |
| Week | $130 | $200 | $500 |
| Month | $125 | $200 | $325 |
| Event (single day, higher traffic) | $200 | $400 | $800 |
Delivery is usually a separate line, often $100 to $150 for a single day drop or $50 to $150 for a week-long rental, and that fee tends to scale with how far the truck has to travel. Dearborn Heights sits close to several towns we already service regularly, including Garden City 3.4 miles west and Redford 4.4 miles north, so delivery within that radius is usually straightforward. For a deeper breakdown by rental length, see porta potty rental cost, porta potty rental per day, or monthly porta potty rental if you're planning a longer renovation or build. If you're not sure how many units your crew needs, the how many porta potties do I need guide walks through it.
Placement on your own property typically does not need a permit. Placement in the public right of way, on a street shoulder, sidewalk strip or city easement, is a different matter and needs confirming with the City of Dearborn Heights before delivery day. We check this on a per-job basis rather than guessing, because rules on right-of-way placement vary block to block and we would rather ask than have a unit sit somewhere it should not. Read the porta potty permit requirements page for more on how that plays out, and the porta potty placement guide for guidance on where a unit should sit relative to doors, slopes and drainage regardless of permit status. If your job is a construction site with a crew on it, OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the toilet count you're required to hit: one facility per 20 workers on site up to 20 workers, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers as headcount climbs, and one per 50 once you're at 200 or more. That ratio applies whether you're running a home addition or a full commercial build, and it's worth checking against your own crew size before you order just one unit. Full detail on how that ratio works across bigger sites is on OSHA portable toilet requirements and construction site services.
Anywhere from a single day to several months. Weekend rentals suit small gatherings, weekly rentals suit active job sites, and monthly rentals suit longer builds or renovation projects where the crew is on-site for an extended stretch. Homeowners doing a kitchen remodel or a roof tear-off in Dearborn Heights often start with a one-month rental and extend if the job runs long, which the monthly porta potty rental page covers in more detail, and it pairs well with a home renovation porta potty setup if the bathroom is out of service. For weddings, festivals and one-day gatherings, the flat event-day rate usually makes more sense than a weekly rate, and event restroom rental and wedding restroom rental both go into that pricing. Servicing follows the same ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 weekly baseline no matter the rental length, though busier events or larger crews often need mid-week service added on top. If your rental runs past a season change, the porta potty in winter page explains what changes when temperatures drop. And if you need something fast, same-day availability is covered on emergency porta potty rental.
A standard unit runs $100 to $350 for a single day, with most one-day rentals landing closer to $150. The exact number depends on how far the delivery truck has to travel and how quickly you need it dropped.
A standard unit measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall. That footprint fits most side yards, driveways and job site corners without crowding equipment or foot traffic.
ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets a once-a-week service baseline for up to 10 users across a 40 hour week. Busier job sites or events often need more frequent visits, which we schedule based on actual headcount.
