Where can I rent a porta potty in Elizabeth?
Right here. Elizabeth Porta Pros is a single-city porta potty rental company built around this town, so we know the streets and the yards we deliver to. We cover the whole city and the towns close by. Hillside sits 3.9 miles northwest, Linden 4.5 miles southwest, and Rahway 7.1 miles southwest, so a truck reaches those jobs the same morning most days. Pick your unit and we bring it. Start with a standard portable toilet for a work crew, or a deluxe flushable unit for guests. Homeowners doing a project usually want the home renovation option. Need an ADA accessible unit? We stock those too. If you are not sure what fits, the request a quote page takes two minutes and we call you back. See every town we run to on the service areas page.
What does a portable toilet rental cost in Elizabeth?
Price depends on the unit and how long you keep it. A standard porta potty is the cheapest option. A deluxe flushable costs more because it has a foot pump and a sink. A restroom trailer is a different tier again. Here is the short version, and the full breakdown lives on the cost page.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 100 - 350 | 130 - 500 | 125 - 325 |
| ADA accessible | 200 - 400 | 120 - 240 | - |
| Storage container | - | - | 100 - 250 |
Weekly costs more than daily, and a month is its own rate. Delivery is billed on top, from 50 to 150 dollars for a week. Want a day rate or a monthly plan? Both have their own page. Trailer pricing sits on the trailer cost page.
How fast can you deliver?
Most orders land within 24 hours, and a lot go out same-day when you call early. We route from inside Elizabeth, so a job in town is a short drive and Linden at 4.5 miles southwest is not much farther. Need it now after a burst pipe or a storm? That is what the emergency porta potty rental line is for, and we run disaster relief sanitation when a site loses its plumbing. Placement matters as much as speed. A truck needs room to swing and set the unit, and a restroom trailer needs a level pad and clearance. Read the placement guide before we arrive and the drop goes clean. If the unit sits on a public sidewalk or the street, that placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city first. We are not able to quote a permit rule for you. The permit page explains what to ask.
Which unit type suits my job?
Four main choices. A standard portable toilet has a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank and covers construction crews and busy sites. It is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, so it fits most yards. A deluxe flushable unit adds a flush and a hand pump, which is what you want for a wedding or a nicer event. An ADA accessible unit meets ADA Standards section 304.3.1 with a 60 inch turning circle inside, so a wheelchair user can enter and turn. For a large gathering, step up to a restroom trailer with real stalls and sinks. Crews on a construction site usually pair a porta john with a handwashing station. Not sure how many? The how many do I need guide does the math, and so does the rental checklist.
How does service work?
You rent the unit, we keep it clean. A service visit pumps the tank, refills paper and sanitizer, and wipes it down. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users on a 40 hour week, and that is the schedule most crews run. Heavy traffic gets more visits. The cleaning schedule page shows how we set the interval, and if you worry about odor, the smell page is honest about it. Curious how the unit handles waste between visits? See how porta potties work. A weekly service call runs 30 to 220 dollars depending on the route and the unit. Cold months change the routine a little, so the winter page covers the freeze. We also handle septic pumping and grease trap pumping if your property runs on a tank instead of city sewer. Elizabeth Porta Pros keeps the whole thing on one invoice.
Do I need a porta potty for my construction site?
If you have workers, yes. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the ratio: one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one seat and one urinal per 40 workers as the crew grows, and one per 50 at 200 workers or more. The full breakdown is on the OSHA requirements page. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) also requires potable water on site, which is where a portable sink or a handwashing station comes in. If your crew applies paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that work, and 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) says those stations need soap and a towel or dryer, not just sanitizer. A hand sanitizer station is a supplement, not the whole answer. Most Elizabeth job sites pair the construction dumpster and a storage container with the toilet order. The handwashing requirements page walks through what applies.
What else can you deliver with the toilets?
Plenty, on one drop. Need to haul debris? A roll-off dumpster comes in 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes, and the delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck. Check the sizes and dimensions page before you order, and the weight limits page so you do not overload it. Some items are banned, which the what cannot go in a dumpster page lists. We also run temporary fence at 30 to 75 dollars a day, chain link panels and crowd control barriers for events. For a work trailer, a mobile office or a 20ft container locks up tools overnight. Lighting a night shift? A light tower and a temporary power pole round out the site.
When should you book restrooms for an event?
Book early, especially for a weekend. A weekend standard rental runs about 250 dollars, and event trailers get reserved fast in peak months. For a wedding you want deluxe flushable units or a luxury trailer with a 4 stall or 8 stall layout. A festival or a concert needs volume, and a marathon or race needs units spread along the course. A golf tournament, a county fair and a film set each have their own page. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of clustered units, and never fewer than one, to be accessible. So even a small event restroom order needs one ADA unit. A portable restroom count for guests is different from a work crew, and the how many guide sorts it.

Do I need a permit to place a unit?
On your own property, usually no. If the unit sits on a sidewalk or the street, that placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city first. We cannot quote a rule for you. The permit page lists what to ask.
How many toilets does my job site need?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one seat and urinal per 40 as the crew grows. The OSHA page and the how many guide run the numbers for your crew size.
Can you deliver same day?
Often, yes. Call early and a truck can reach most Elizabeth addresses the same day. For a burst pipe or storm, the emergency line moves faster. Read the placement guide so the drop is clean when we arrive.

A 10 yard suits a small cleanout, and a 20 yard covers most home renovations. Delivery needs 60 feet of clearance. Check the weight limits and the dumpster cost page before you book.
