Where can I rent a porta potty in Alexandria?
You rent it right here. Alexandria Porta Pros runs the core rental pool from one Alexandria yard, so we cover the city and the towns around it without a long haul. We handle standard porta potty rental, deluxe flushable units, ADA accessible units and restroom trailers from the same phone call.
Delivery reaches Huntington 3.5 miles south and Arlington 5.4 miles north without trouble. If you want the full map, the service areas page lists every town we cover. Not sure what you need? Start with the request a quote form or the contact page, and we size it for you.
People search "porta potty rental companies" and get a call center. You get a local outfit. Read the about page if you want to know who shows up. We also list every unit type on the portable toilet rental and portable restroom rental pages.
What does a porta potty rental cost in Alexandria?
Price depends on the unit and how long you keep it. A standard unit runs one band, a deluxe flush unit another, and a restroom trailer sits well above both. Below is the short version. The full breakdown lives on the porta potty rental cost page.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 150 | 200 | 200 |
| ADA accessible | 230 | 185 | - |
| Deluxe flush | 300 | 250 | - |
Those are typical figures, not quotes. Delivery is a separate line, and a service fee covers pump-out and restock. Weekend jobs price differently: a standard unit runs about 250 dollars for a weekend, and a restroom trailer for a weekend sits near 2,000 dollars.
Want a longer commitment? The monthly porta potty rental and per-day rental pages show how the math changes. For trailers, check restroom trailer rental cost.
How fast can you deliver a portable toilet?
Most Alexandria orders arrive within 24 hours. Order early and same-day is often possible. If a crew shows up Monday and nobody booked a toilet, we handle that too: see emergency porta potty rental.
Delivery needs room. The driver wants a firm, level spot the truck can reach. ADA Standards section 302.1 calls for a stable, firm, slip-resistant surface, and that matters for the customer using the unit and for the truck setting it down. Gravel or pavement beats soft mud every time.
For placement rules of thumb, the porta potty placement guide covers spacing, access and servicing lanes. If your unit sits in the public right of way, that placement needs confirming with the City of Alexandria first, and we can talk you through it. Winter drops have their own quirks, covered on the porta potty in winter page. Run through the rental checklist before you book.
Which porta potty type suits my job?
Four main types, four jobs. A standard unit covers construction and everyday use. A deluxe flush unit adds a foot pump and sink for events. An ADA accessible unit meets ADA Standards section 213.2, which requires at least 5 percent of clustered units, and never fewer than one, to be accessible. A restroom trailer brings running water and real stalls.
A standard unit is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands about 92 inches tall, so it fits tight sites. See standard porta potty rental or the older name, porta john rental.
For weddings and nicer events, the deluxe flushable porta potty or a luxury restroom trailer reads better. Trailers come in 2 stall, 4 stall and 8 stall sizes, plus a shower trailer. Accessible needs? Start at the ADA accessible porta potty page and the ADA restroom requirements guide.
How does the rental and service work?
You book, we drop, we service, we pick up. Simple. During a rental, we pump the tank, refill paper and sanitizer, and clean the unit on a schedule. The ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 standard sets one service visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, and that is our default cadence.
A standard tank holds 60 to 70 gallons, which is why weekly service fits most crews. Busier sites get more visits. The how often are porta potties cleaned page explains the intervals, and do porta potties smell covers what keeps them from going bad between visits.
Curious how the tank and vent actually work? Read how do porta potties work. Need soap and water separate from the toilet? Add a handwashing station or a portable sink. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), washing facilities need soap and towels or a drier, and hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy that.
How many porta potties do I need on a job site?
OSHA sets the floor. Under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1), a construction site needs one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers as the crew grows past 20, and one per 50 at 200 or more. That is the legal minimum, not a comfort target.
Events run on a different math, driven by crowd size and hours. Work it through on the how many porta potties do I need page, and check the OSHA portable toilet requirements guide before an inspector does.
OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) also requires an adequate supply of potable water at every worksite, so pair toilets with a wash setup. On sites applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for those workers. Field jobs in Alexandria fall under OSHA 1928.110, which asks for one facility per 20 hand-labor workers within a quarter mile. See construction site services and farm and agricultural restrooms.
What else do you rent for a site or event?
More than toilets. Alexandria Porta Pros also runs roll-off dumpsters, storage containers and temporary fencing, so one call covers the whole site. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so clear the lane before we arrive.
Dumpsters come in 10 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard and 40 yard sizes. Check dumpster sizes and dimensions, weight limits and what cannot go in a dumpster before you load. A dumpster in the right of way needs a permit confirmed with the city; see dumpster permit requirements.
Need storage? We offer 20ft containers, 40ft containers and mobile office trailers. For crowd lines, see crowd control barriers and chain link fence. We run light towers and temporary power poles too.
Do you handle septic pumping in Alexandria?
Yes. We pump residential and commercial tanks across Alexandria. A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. Push past that and you risk backups. See septic pumping service and how often to pump a septic tank.
Restaurants have grease to manage. A grease interceptor gets pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth, so we schedule around that line. Book on grease trap pumping.
Smell something or see slow drains? Read septic tank warning signs, then call for emergency septic service. We also handle septic tank cleaning, holding tank rental and quote it on septic tank pumping cost. Events near National Harbor, 7.3 miles southeast, often pair a trailer with a holding tank.
