How much does a porta potty cost per month?
Monthly pricing exists because Cornerstone Porta Potty is not re-quoting your job every week, and it's the same math whether you call it portable toilet rental cost per month or a long term porta potty rental cost. A standard unit on a month-long term runs $125 to $325, with most Lakewood jobs landing near the middle once you factor in weekly servicing under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the baseline interval for units seeing regular use. Compare that to booking week by week: a standard unit at $130 to $500 per week adds up fast over four weeks. A monthly rental locks the rate and the schedule. Delivery adds $120 to $420 depending on distance and access, and most contractors in Lakewood pair one or two standard units with a handwashing station to cover both OSHA 1926.51(c) toilet-count rules and general jobsite hygiene. If you're still comparing formats, the porta potty rental cost page breaks down day, week and month side by side.
| unit | duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| standard | day | 100 | 150 | 350 |
| standard | week | 130 | 200 | 500 |
| standard | month | 125 | 200 | 325 |
| delivery_fee | month | 120 | 172 | 420 |
What counts as a long term porta potty rental?
Anything running 30 days or longer qualifies for monthly pricing, and most contractors treat it as the default for jobs past the first week. A remodel job in Wheat Ridge, 5.8 miles north of Lakewood, or a fence-line project out toward Golden, 9.2 miles northwest, both hit that mark once the crew is on-site daily. Long-term portable toilet rental works the same as a short job logistically. Cornerstone Porta Potty still services on a set schedule under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, still hauls waste out of a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank per unit, and still holds each unit to about 44 by 48 inches on the ground so it fits tight lots without blocking a walkway. The difference is billing: one monthly invoice instead of four weekly ones. If your crew count creeps up mid-job, OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the ratio, one toilet per 20 workers or fewer, so a second unit may need to join the first before month two starts. Ag operations get a separate ratio under OSHA 1928.110, one facility per 20 hand-labor workers within a quarter mile walk.
Why choose monthly over weekly for a construction site?
Monthly avoids the admin of four separate weekly bookings and keeps the servicing predictable for the crew. A construction site with a firm end date still benefits, because the unit stays put and gets serviced on the same day each week without a new PO cutting through your job in Lakewood every seven days. Renovation crews doing a slower gut job often add a roll-off dumpster on the same monthly cycle, and some pair a unit with temporary fencing around the whole site perimeter. If the crew works with paints, coatings or solvents, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that contaminant exposure specifically, not general handwashing, so a portable sink earns its spot on-site. Homeowners doing a slower renovation without a big crew often start on the home renovation porta potty page instead, since a single unit for a few months rarely needs the same service cadence as a ten-person crew.
Do I need an ADA unit for a monthly rental?
Only if the site needs accessible access for workers or visitors, and if you're clustering multiple units, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of them to be accessible, never fewer than one. An ADA accessible porta potty runs $120 to $240 a week, higher than standard, so folding one into a monthly cluster costs more than a standard-only setup but keeps the site compliant. The accessible unit still needs the clear route ADA Standards section 403.5.1 calls for, a 36 inch minimum path, plus a 32 inch door opening under section 404.2.3. For events layered onto a monthly job site, like a groundbreaking or an open house, the event restroom rental and wedding restroom rental pages cover short add-on rentals that don't disrupt the monthly base units already on-site in Lakewood.
How many porta potties does a monthly job site need?
It depends on crew size: OSHA 1926.51(c) calls for one toilet per 20 workers or fewer, scaling up from there. A 15-person crew needs one unit; a 45-person crew needs more. The how many porta potties guide walks through the math by crew size.
Does the price include servicing every week?
Yes, monthly pricing bakes in the weekly service interval under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. That covers waste pumping from the 60 to 70 gallon tank, restocking supplies and a wipe-down. Extra visits beyond that baseline can add to the invoice.
Can I switch from weekly to monthly mid-rental?
Usually, yes. Most jobs that run past two or three weeks are better off moving to the monthly rate before the fourth week starts. Call ahead so Cornerstone Porta Potty can adjust the schedule and invoice before the next billing cycle.
What's the difference between monthly and event pricing?
Monthly pricing assumes steady, planned use for 30 days or more. Event pricing, $200 to $800 for a standard unit, covers short, high-traffic weekends like festivals. A month-long construction job never needs event rates.
Do I need a permit for a monthly unit on my property?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city of Lakewood before delivery. On private property it's usually simpler. Check the porta potty permit requirements page or ask when you request a quote.
