Where can I rent a porta potty in Melbourne?
Right here. Melbourne Porta Pros runs a local pool of units and drops them where you need them, whether that's a backyard home renovation or a downtown Melbourne event. We serve the whole area from one yard. That covers West Melbourne 5.7 miles south, Indian Harbour Beach 6.9 miles northeast, and Satellite Beach 8.7 miles northeast. Merritt Island sits 16.2 miles north and Rockledge is 18.4 miles north. See the full service areas page for the towns we reach. If you're closer to the barrier island, our Indian Harbour Beach coverage and Satellite Beach coverage run the same trucks. Placing a unit in the public right of way needs confirming with the City of Melbourne first. We do not quote a rule we cannot verify, so read our permit guide and call the city. Start on the Melbourne home page and pick a unit.
What does a porta potty rental cost?
Portable toilet rental cost depends on the unit and how long you keep it. A standard porta potty is the cheapest way in. A deluxe flushable unit costs more because it has a flush and a sink. A full restroom trailer is a different tier again. Below is the short version of the portable toilet rental costs. For the full breakdown see our rental cost page, the per day rates, or the monthly rental numbers.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 100-350 | 130-500 | 125-325 |
| ADA accessible | 200-400 | 120-240 | n/a |
| Deluxe flushable | 85-1200 | 150-290 | n/a |
Delivery and pickup runs separately, typically 100 to 150 dollars a day for the drop. A weekend standard unit for a party usually lands around 250 dollars. Compare restroom trailer cost if you want stalls. We price each portable toilet rental against the local band, so you see the real price for portable toilet rental before you book.
Which porta potty should I rent?
Unlike portable toilet rental companies that stock one box, four types cover almost every job here. Here's who each one suits, so you're not paying for more than you need.
The standard portable toilet fits construction, fencing jobs and casual events. It has a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank and stands about 92 inches tall. The deluxe flushable adds a foot pump flush and a hand sink, good for weddings and longer stays. The ADA accessible unit gives a ground-level entry and a 60 inch turning circle inside, required under ADA Standards section 304.3.1. The restroom trailer brings flushing toilets, running water and climate control for a wedding or corporate day. Same product family shows up under porta john rental and portable restroom rental if that's the term you searched. Not sure? Our rental checklist walks you through it.
How fast can you deliver?
Most orders go out within 24 hours, and same-day is often possible if you call early. We keep the pool local, so a run to Melbourne or West Melbourne is a short drive. If a storm or a broken system leaves you stuck, our emergency porta potty service and emergency septic service move faster. A standard unit needs about 44 by 48 inches of flat ground to sit on, and ADA Standards section 302.1 wants that surface stable, firm and slip resistant. Give the driver a clear path. Our placement guide covers the setback and access details so the truck isn't blocked. For a job site that runs months, we can set up recurring drops the same day we deliver. Read how porta potties work if you want the mechanics before it arrives, or jump to contact us.
How does the weekly service work?
Every rental includes routine service. A truck comes out, pumps the tank, refills the paper and deodorizer, and hoses the interior. 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's how we schedule. Busier sites get more frequent stops. See how often units are cleaned for the full routine, and do porta potties smell for what deodorizer actually does. A handwashing station or portable sink gets serviced on the same visit. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), washing facilities need soap and towels or a dryer, and hand sanitizer alone doesn't satisfy that, so a real sink matters on longer jobs. If you only need sanitizer for an event, a hand sanitizer station works. See the handwashing requirements page. Long-haul renters can check monthly pricing.
How many porta potties do I need?
For a job site, OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the ratio: one toilet for up to 20 workers, then one seat and one urinal per 40 workers above that, and one per 50 at 200 or more. Events run on headcount and hours instead. A wedding of 100 guests for four hours is a lighter load than a festival running all weekend. Our how many do I need calculator does the math, and the OSHA requirements page explains the construction rules in plain terms. Where units are clustered, ADA Standards section 213.2 says at least 5 percent, and never fewer than one, must be accessible. For a big crowd, a concert setup, a marathon or a county fair, we mix standard units with an ADA unit and a trailer. Ask us to size it.
What else can you bring to the site?
We're a full site services outfit, so one call can cover more than toilets. Need to haul debris? A roll-off dumpster handles construction and cleanout waste, and we stock 10 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard and 40 yard sizes. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so check the sizes and dimensions page before you order. We also rent storage containers in 20 foot and 40 foot lengths, plus mobile office trailers. For crowd lines and site security we set temporary fence, chain link panels and crowd control barriers. Job running past dusk? Add a light tower or a temporary power pole. Bundling on construction site services is the simplest way to book.
Do you pump septic tanks in Melbourne?
Yes. Alongside rentals we run septic pumping and septic tank cleaning across Melbourne. A residential tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size, and our how often to pump page explains the math. Waiting too long shows up as slow drains and odor, covered on the warning signs page. Restaurants need grease trap pumping; a grease interceptor gets pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. We also handle holding tank rental for sites without a septic system and offer a pumping cost estimate up front. See our about page for who we are, or the FAQ for quick answers.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a standard porta potty per day?
A standard unit runs from about 100 to 350 dollars a day in Melbourne, depending on how many you take and where they go. Delivery is separate. For weekly and monthly numbers, see the per day rate page and the full cost breakdown.
Can I get a unit delivered the same day?
Often, yes, if you call early. Most orders go out within 24 hours anyway. Storm or breakdown situations get priority through our emergency rental line. Give the driver a clear, level spot at least 44 by 48 inches and a path the truck can reach.
Do I need a permit to place one?
Maybe, if it sits on public property or the right of way. That needs confirming with the City of Melbourne, and we won't quote a rule we can't verify. On your own private land it's usually fine. Read the permit guide and call the city.
What's included in the rental price?
Delivery, pickup and weekly service. The truck pumps the 60 to 70 gallon tank, restocks paper and deodorizer, and cleans the interior. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one weekly visit as the baseline. Busy sites get more. See how often units are cleaned.
Which unit is best for a wedding?
A deluxe flushable unit or a restroom trailer. Both give a flush and a sink instead of a basic bench. Trailers add running water and climate control. Our wedding restroom page helps you choose based on guest count and venue.
How many toilets for my construction crew?
OSHA 1926.51(c) sets one toilet for up to 20 workers, then one seat and one urinal per 40 above that. Our how many do I need tool sizes it, and the OSHA requirements page spells out the rest.
Do you serve the beach towns?
Yes. Indian Harbour Beach is 6.9 miles northeast and Satellite Beach 8.7 miles northeast, both short runs from our Melbourne yard. Merritt Island is 16.2 miles north. Check the service areas map or the Satellite Beach page for local detail.
