Who should rent a standard porta potty?
A standard porta potty starts at $175, the lowest event price of any toilet we rent for 1 to 3 days. Homeowners use it for parties and remodels. Contractors use it on job sites. Churches use it for outdoor events. The standard unit needs no water, power or hookups of any kind.
It is a good pick for:
- Backyard birthdays, graduations and family reunions
- Kitchen and bath remodels when the house toilet is off
- Water outages or a failed well pump
- New-build lots and construction job sites
- Farm, ranch and hunting-lease use
It is not the best pick for guests who use a wheelchair or a formal event where guests expect a sink. Compare those choices on our portable toilet rental options page.
Will a standard porta potty fit through my gate?
A standard porta potty is about 43.5 inches wide, so it fits through a 48-inch gate. Our crew needs a clear path about 5 feet wide to carry the unit by hand. The spot should be flat and firm. The unit stands about 91 inches tall, so check low tree limbs and carport roofs.
- Measure the gate. A 48-inch opening or wider works for the standard unit.
- Walk the path. Look for steps, sharp turns, sprinkler heads and soft dirt.
- Pick a flat spot. Level ground keeps the door closing right and the tank steady.
- Mark the spot. Use a cone, flag or chalk X, or text us a photo or pin. You do not need to be home.
- Face the door away from afternoon sun. In Midland summers, this keeps the inside cooler.
On private property, no permit is usually needed. Placing a unit in a street, alley or sidewalk generally needs City of Midland approval. HOAs may want it beside the garage or behind a fence.
How is a standard porta potty serviced?
On a 28-day rental, our tech services each standard porta potty once a week. The tech pumps the 60-gallon tank, scrubs and sanitizes the inside, adds a fresh blue deodorizer charge and restocks paper and sanitizer. A dated service tag goes on the door. Event units get pumped at pickup.
Our own techs do every visit. We do not sub the work out. Waste goes to a permitted disposal facility.
In Midland summer heat of 95 to 105°F, odor builds faster. We suggest twice-weekly service for crews of 10 or more from June through August. In spring wind, every unit is staked or strapped down. Gusts of 40 mph or more are common in March and April.

More questions about Standard Porta Potty Rental in Midland
How much is a basic porta potty for one day?
A standard porta potty starts at $175 pre-tax for an event rental. That price covers 1 to 3 days on site, so one day costs the same as a Friday-to-Monday weekend. Delivery and pickup are included in Midland and Odessa. Texas sales tax of 8.25% is added on the quote.
Is there a light inside? Our party runs until midnight.
A standard porta potty has no electric light. The translucent roof lets in daylight only. For a party that runs after dark, place the unit near a porch light or yard light. Many hosts hang a battery lantern or a stick-on LED puck inside. Do not use candles or open flame.
Does it come with toilet paper, or do I supply it?
We supply it. A standard porta potty arrives with 2 or more rolls of toilet paper in a holder that fits 3 rolls. It also has a full hand-sanitizer dispenser. On a 28-day rental, the tech restocks both on every weekly visit. Extra rolls are smart for a long party.
What's the gallon capacity of the tank?
The waste tank on our standard porta potty holds about 60 gallons. The manufacturer rates the unit at about 200 uses between services. A party of 50 guests over 4 hours fits well inside that. A crew of 10 on a 40-hour week fills it in about a week.
Can it go in my backyard? Through my gate?
Usually yes. The standard unit is about 43.5 inches wide, so it fits through a 48-inch gate. Our crew needs a clear path about 5 feet wide to carry it. Steps, tight turns and soft lawn can slow us down, so text a photo of the path when you book.
Can I lock it so nobody uses it or steals it?
Yes. We add a free combination lock on request. The lock goes on the outside latch, so only people with the code can open the door. Many park and job-site renters lock the unit at night. Stolen units are charged at replacement value, so a lock is worth it.
