Where can I rent a porta potty in Wilmington?
Right here. Wilmington Porta Pros runs the porta potty rental pool for the city and the towns around it. We stock the standard unit, the deluxe flushable model, the ADA accessible unit and full restroom trailers. Some folks search for a porta john or a portable toilet; same thing, same order line. A standard unit sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, so plan the spot before we arrive. Need it for one weekend or a long build? We handle both. Check our service areas or request a quote and we will confirm your date. If you are outside Wilmington, we also run Newark and Chester. See the full list on the portable restroom page.
What does a porta potty rental cost in Wilmington?
Portable toilet rental cost depends on the unit and how long you keep it. A standard porta potty runs the low end for a day and climbs a little by the week and month. Deluxe and ADA units cost more. Delivery is a separate line. See the full breakdown on the porta potty rental cost page, or the per day and monthly pages.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 150 | 200 | 200 |
| ADA accessible | 230 | 185 | - |
| Deluxe flushable | 300 | 250 | - |
| Storage container | - | - | 125 |
Delivery runs about 150 dollars for a single drop. A standard weekend rental sits near 250 dollars. For dumpster numbers see the dumpster rental cost page, and for trailers the restroom trailer cost page. Want a firm figure? Contact us with your dates.
How fast can you deliver?
Most Wilmington orders land within a day. Call early and same-day is often doable inside the city. Emergencies move faster; that is what the emergency porta potty line is for, and the emergency septic service line too. A roll-off dumpster delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so clear the driveway before we roll in. For a porta potty, we need a firm, level pad. ADA Standards section 302.1 wants ground that is stable, firm and slip resistant, and that matters for every unit, not just the accessible one. Tell us the surface. Gravel, grass, asphalt, we work with all of it. Farther out, Newark is 16.5 miles west and Ridley is 18.3 miles northeast, so those runs need a little more lead time. Read the placement guide and the rental checklist before we come.
Which porta potty is right for my job?
Four units cover almost everything. The standard porta potty fits construction and general site work; it carries a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank. The deluxe flushable unit adds a foot pump and a sink, good for weddings and longer events. The ADA accessible unit meets ADA Standards section 404.2.3, which sets a 32 inch minimum clear door opening, and section 304.3.1, which calls for a 60 inch turning circle inside. For upscale gatherings, step up to a luxury restroom trailer or a 2 stall trailer. Big crowds want a 4 stall or 8 stall trailer. Not sure how many? The how many porta potties guide walks the math. Building a house? See the home renovation page.
How does the service work?
You rent it, we service it. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, and that is our default. We pump the tank, restock paper and sanitize the interior. Want to know the routine? Read how often porta potties are cleaned and do porta potties smell. More users means more visits; the how porta potties work page explains the tank. We also pair units with a handwashing station or a portable sink. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a drying device at wash stations, and hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy it, so a sanitizer stand is an add-on, not a replacement. Cold months change the schedule; see porta potty in winter.
Do construction sites need a specific number of toilets?
Yes, and OSHA sets it. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one seat and one urinal per 40 workers as the crew grows past 20, and one per 50 at 200 or more. That is the count our construction site services build around. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) also wants potable water on site. If your crew applies paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that work, so add a portable sink. Read the full OSHA portable toilet requirements and the handwashing requirements pages. Construction jobs also lean on a construction dumpster, a light tower and a temporary power pole. Farm crews fall under different rules; see the farm and agricultural restrooms page.
What else can you bring to the site?
Plenty. Beyond toilets, Wilmington Porta Pros runs roll-off dumpsters in 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes; see the sizes and dimensions page and what cannot go in a dumpster. We rent storage containers in 20ft and 40ft, plus a mobile office trailer. Need to close off a site? Grab temporary fencing, chain link fence or crowd control barriers. We also do septic pumping and septic tank cleaning. A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank and household size; see how often to pump and the warning signs page.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a standard porta potty rental cost?
A standard unit runs about 150 dollars for a day in Wilmington and around 200 by the week or month. A weekend runs near 250 dollars, and delivery is a separate charge near 150 dollars. See the cost page for the full breakdown.
How many porta potties do I need for my event?
It depends on headcount and hours. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets construction ratios starting at one toilet for 20 workers. Events use similar math scaled to crowd size. The how many porta potties guide gives you a number to work from.
Do I need a permit to place a porta potty in Wilmington?
On private property, usually not. Placing a unit in the public right of way needs confirming with the city first, and we cannot name a rule that is not verified. See the permit requirements page and call contact if you are unsure.
How often do you service the toilets?
Once a week by default. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets that interval for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Heavier use gets more visits. We pump, restock and sanitize each time; read how often they are cleaned.
Can you deliver same day?
Often, yes, inside Wilmington if you call early. Runs to Newark 16.5 miles west or Upper Darby 24.1 miles northeast need more lead time. For true emergencies, use the emergency porta potty line and we move faster.
What is the difference between a standard and a deluxe unit?
The standard has a seat and a 60 to 70 gallon tank. The deluxe flushable unit adds a foot-pump flush and an interior sink, which suits weddings and longer events better than a bare unit.
Do you rent ADA accessible units?
Yes. Our ADA unit meets ADA Standards section 404.2.3, a 32 inch clear door, and section 304.3.1, a 60 inch turning circle. Where units are clustered, section 213.2 wants at least one accessible. See ADA restroom requirements.
