Regarding our rates
Portable restroom pricing moves on four things: how long the unit stays, how often it is serviced, how far it is from the servicing yard, and whether it is on the ground in winter. All four appear as separate lines on our quotes.
Work out your order
The same arithmetic we run on every quote: the OSHA ratio for job sites, the event ratio plus the ADA cluster rule for everything else.
Each cluster needs its own accessible unit.

Pricing, sizing, delivery timing and winter operation, answered for Minnesota specifically. Call if your question is not covered here.
Call (763) 297-5164A standard porta potty rental in Minnesota costs about $135 to $225 for a weekend event placement and about $175 to $325 for a 28-day rental with weekly service. ADA accessible units run $240 to $450 per 28-day cycle. A two-station restroom trailer runs $850 to $1,900 for a weekend. Winter placements from November through March add $15 to $45 per unit per service for antifreeze.
For an event, start at one unit per 50 guests for four hours, then add 15 to 20 percent if alcohol is served and 20 to 30 percent if food is served. For a construction site, OSHA requires one toilet for crews of 20 or fewer, and one toilet seat plus one urinal per 40 workers on sites of 20 to 200 employees. At least 5 percent of the units in each cluster must be ADA accessible, minimum one.
Next business day is standard across the Twin Cities metro, and same-day is often possible on orders placed before 10:00am Central. Greater Minnesota runs on dedicated routes rather than daily coverage, so plan on at least two business days there, and more in winter. Call and we will tell you the actual route day for your address.
Delivery, placement and levelling, one service visit per week, and pickup. A service visit means the holding tank is pumped, the interior is sanitized, and toilet paper, hand sanitizer and deodorizer are restocked. Job-site accounts get a dated service log on request for the safety file.
An untreated unit will. The holding tank freezes into a mass that cannot be pumped and the door seal freezes shut. Preventing it takes an antifreeze charge matched to the expected temperature: rock salt works only above 0F, methanol protects to about -9F, magnesium chloride to about -26F, and a methanol and rock salt blend to roughly -40F. The Twin Cities average about 24 days at or below zero in a normal year.
The Twin Cities seven-county metro is our densest coverage, and we book placements out to St. Cloud, Rochester, Mankato and Duluth. Delivery inside the metro is normally bundled into the rental rate. Past roughly 30 miles from the servicing yard, mileage is typically billed at $2.50 to $4.50 per mile each way.
Not before you approve a quote. Nothing is charged and no card is collected during quoting. Restroom trailers on peak summer Saturdays are the one case where the servicing hauler usually requires a deposit to hold a date, and that is stated on the quote before you agree to anything.
On firm level ground, with about 4 feet of clearance on the door side and a service truck able to reach within roughly 25 feet. Private property needs no permit. Anything set in a street, on a sidewalk or on park land needs city approval, and the rules differ by city.
Before delivery
Six checks decide whether a delivery lands first time. A photograph of the intended spot sent with your enquiry prevents more failed drops than any amount of description.
Firm, level ground
Gravel, asphalt, compacted soil or turf that will carry a loaded truck.
4 ft door clearance
Nothing swinging into a fence, a wall or a parked vehicle.
Truck within 25 ft
The service hose has a working reach. Longer runs slow the stop and cost more.
Overhead clearance
Watch mature tree canopy over driveways. A low branch line stops a service truck.
Winter access cleared
A plowed approach on the service day. A blocked drive turns a visit into a return trip.
Power for heated units
One dedicated 110V 20-amp circuit within safe cord reach of the placement.
