How Much Does a Porta Potty Cost Per Month?
Woodbury Porta Pros prices monthly rentals by unit type, not a flat rate, because a standard unit and an ADA unit do their jobs differently. A standard porta potty rental for a month lands between 125 and 325 dollars, with most jobs closer to the middle of that band. Delivery adds another 120 to 420 dollars depending on distance and site access. If you are comparing a single weekend against a full month, check the porta potty rental per day page first, since short jobs and long jobs price on completely different curves. Long term portable toilet rental almost always beats renting week to week if your project runs past four weeks straight. A remodel in Woodbury that started as a two week job and stretched to six weeks would have paid less on a monthly plan than restarting a weekly one three times. For multi-unit jobs, a porta potty rental cost breakdown by unit count helps before you call for a quote.
| unit | month low | month typical | month high |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | 125 | 200 | 325 |
| dumpster | 91 | 108 | 500 |
| storage | 100 | 125 | 250 |
| delivery fee | 120 | 172 | 420 |
Why Does Long Term Porta Potty Rental Cost Less Per Day?
A monthly rate spreads the delivery and pickup cost across 30 days instead of 2 or 7, which is why the per-day cost drops the longer the unit stays. Weekly standard rentals run 130 to 500 dollars, so a month at 125 to 325 dollars can cost less than four separate weekly terms stacked together. This matters most on construction sites in Woodbury, where OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the toilet count you need to maintain for the whole job, not just opening week. Crews under 20 workers need one unit; the ratio changes as headcount climbs past 20 and again past 200. A site running from spring through fall in Woodbury needs that ratio held steady the entire time, and a monthly porta potty rental plan is built for exactly that kind of stretch. Compare that against a portable restroom rental booked one week at a time and the savings show up fast once you pass the one month mark. If you are unsure how many units your crew size actually requires, the how many porta potties do I need guide walks through the math before you commit to a term.
What Do You Get With a Monthly Rental?
A monthly rental includes weekly service visits, and the baseline service interval under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 is one visit per week for up to 10 users across a 40 hour week. Heavier-use sites in Woodbury get serviced more often, since the standard unit's 60 to 70 gallon holding tank fills faster with more workers on site daily. Each standard unit measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, so placement matters on tight urban lots as much as it does on open construction pads. If your crew handles paint, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities beyond a toilet, so a handwashing station rental or portable sink rental often rides alongside the monthly toilet order. Sites needing accessible units should know ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of clustered units to be accessible, never fewer than one. An ADA accessible porta potty rents for 120 to 240 dollars a week on its own line, separate from standard unit pricing.
Is Monthly Rental Right for a Construction Site or a Home Project?
Monthly terms fit best where the job has a defined multi-week timeline: home additions, foundation pours, or construction site services running a full permit cycle. A home renovation porta potty rarely needs a month unless the project involves structural work, in which case the monthly rate usually beats renting by the week twice over. For general contractors managing several trades on one Woodbury lot, pairing a toilet rental with a roll-off dumpster rental and a storage container rental on the same delivery run often saves a separate delivery fee. Oakdale sits 7.1 miles north of Woodbury and shares similar site access patterns, so crews working across both cities can usually run one service route without extra cost. Cottage Grove, 8.1 miles south, and Inver Grove Heights, 12.2 miles southwest, fall into the same regional delivery zone. If your project sits right on the edge of city limits, the service areas page confirms coverage before you book.
How many porta potties does a 20-person crew need for a month?
One unit covers up to 20 workers under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1). Past 20 workers, add one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 additional employees. A crew holding steady at 20 for the full month needs no more than one standard unit, serviced weekly.
Does a monthly rental include delivery and pickup?
Delivery and pickup are billed separately from the unit rate. The delivery fee for a month-long placement runs 120 to 420 dollars depending on site access and distance, on top of the unit's monthly rate.
Can I switch from a monthly rental to a shorter term?
Yes, but pricing reverts to weekly or daily rates for the remaining time. Check the monthly porta potty rental terms against the porta potty rental per day rates before switching mid-job.
Do I need a permit for a monthly unit in Woodbury?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery. For everything else, the porta potty permit requirements page covers what to check ahead of your rental date.
What happens to the unit in winter months?
Cold weather changes servicing needs but doesn't stop monthly rentals. See porta potty in winter for how freezing temperatures affect tank servicing and placement in Woodbury.
