What Does Porta John Rental Cost in Salt Lake City?
Price depends on unit type, rental length, and how far the delivery truck has to drive. A standard porta potty rental is the cheapest way to cover a job site or backyard project, and most crews stick with it unless they need a flushing unit or ADA access. Here is where the numbers land, pulled from measured rental data across the market:
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $100 - $350 | $130 - $500 | $125 - $325 |
| ADA accessible | $200 - $400 | $400 - $2,800 | - |
| Deluxe flushable | $85 - $1,200 | $150 - $290 | - |
Delivery fees run separately, typically $100 to $150 for a single-day drop and $50 to $150 for a week-long rental, so ask what is included before you book. If you are comparing a porta potty rental cost against a porta potty rental per day rate, the math usually favors weekly or monthly porta potty rental once you pass four or five days. Homeowners doing a weekend project in South Salt Lake, 7.9 miles south of downtown, often just book the weekend rate instead of a full week.
How Many Porta Johns Do I Need for My Job Site?
OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline: one toilet for 20 or fewer workers, then one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers once you cross 20, and one per 50 once you hit 200 or more. That ratio drives most of our construction quotes in Salt Lake City. A crew of 15 framing a house needs one unit. A crew of 60 pouring foundations across a subdivision needs at least two, sometimes three depending on how spread out the site is. Our how many porta potties do I need guide walks through the math for bigger sites, and our OSHA portable toilet requirements page breaks down the full ratio table if your safety officer wants it in writing. For general contractors juggling construction site services across multiple trades, we also stock temporary fencing and handwashing stations to round out the sanitation plan, since 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand-drying device, not just sanitizer, at any washing station on site.
Can I Get a Luxury Porta John Rental in Salt Lake City?
Yes. A luxury porta john rental usually means either a deluxe flushable unit or a full restroom trailer rental, and both are available here. The deluxe flushable porta potty still looks like a standard unit outside but has a flush mechanism and a nicer interior, running $85 to $1,200 a day depending on features and $150 to $290 for a week. If your event calls for something closer to an indoor bathroom, look at our 2 stall restroom trailer, 4 stall restroom trailer, or 8 stall restroom trailer options, or check the luxury restroom trailer page for climate control and finish details. Weddings in Bountiful, 9.9 miles northeast of Salt Lake City, and golf tournaments near Murray, 11.6 miles south, are common venues for this upgrade. A standard unit stands about 92 inches tall and sits roughly 44 by 48 inches on the ground, so even the nicer units do not need much space to place. If you are planning a ceremony, our wedding restroom rental page covers placement and timing specifics.
Does a Porta John Rental Need to Be ADA Accessible?
Not always, but if you are clustering multiple units for a public event, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires that at least 5 percent of the group, and never fewer than one unit, be accessible. That accessible unit needs a 60 inch turning circle inside per ADA Standards 304.3.1, and the route to it needs a 36 inch clear width per ADA Standards 403.5.1. Our ADA accessible porta potty page has the full spec list, including door width and reach ranges under ADA Standards 308.2.1. Placement matters too. Units need stable, firm, slip-resistant ground under ADA Standards 302.1, which is one more reason to have us walk the site before delivery. Check our porta potty placement guide for surface and clearance tips, and if you are unsure whether your permit covers curb placement, confirm with the city before we deliver.

Is there a difference between a porta john and a porta potty?
No. Porta john, porta potty, and porta potty rental in Salt Lake City all describe the same unit. The terms vary by region; some callers from Chicago or New Jersey use porta john out of habit.
How often does a rented unit get serviced?
Standard service follows a weekly cycle under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 for typical usage of up to 10 people over a 40-hour week. High-traffic events need more frequent visits, which we schedule at booking. See how often are porta potties cleaned for details.
