Bloomington Porta Pros rents portable toilets starting at $100 per day, plus septic pumping, dumpsters, storage containers, restroom trailers, temporary fencing and handwashing stations to contractors, events and homeowners. Below are answers to the questions we hear most often about costs, unit types and what rental works best for your job or event.
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the minimum: 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer on a construction site, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers up to 200 workers. At 200 or more workers, you need 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers. For events in Bloomington, count your expected peak crowd and add one unit. A standard portable toilet rental holds 60 to 70 gallons and stands about 92 inches tall, so site access matters.

| Unit Type | Daily | Weekly | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $100-$350 | $130-$500 | $125-$325 |
| Deluxe | $85-$1,200 | $150-$290 | Not offered |
| ADA Accessible | $200-$400 | $185-$240 | Not offered |
Longer rentals cost less per day. A porta potty rental per day in Bloomington runs $100 to $350 for a standard unit, while a monthly porta potty rental averages $125 to $325. Add delivery and service fees. Deluxe units with flushable toilets and sinks start higher but suit events better. See porta potty rental cost for exact quotes. Bloomington Porta Pros delivers within the city and to nearby towns like Smithville-Sanders (8.1 miles south) and Ellettsville (8.7 miles northwest).
A restroom trailer rental is the choice for larger events or long-term projects. We stock 2, 4 and 8 stall models. Trailers come with hot water, flushing toilets, mirrors and handwashing, much nicer than portable units. Restroom trailer rental cost runs higher per day but makes sense for weddings, festivals and film sets in Bloomington. Handwashing matters on construction sites where crews handle paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides. OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities in those cases. A handwashing station rental includes soap and a towel or hand drying device to meet 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2). We deliver to job sites across Bloomington.
A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, depending on tank size and household size. Don't wait for septic tank warning signs, slow drains, odors or wet spots in the yard mean it's overdue. A septic pumping service in Bloomington takes a few hours. Grease traps on restaurant and food prep lines need more frequent attention. A grease interceptor is pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. See grease trap pumping for rates. Call Bloomington Porta Pros and we'll check your system and schedule a visit.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. Bloomington has rules about sidewalk and street use, but we don't have verified ordinance details to publish. Call us or contact your local building department before you set a unit. On private property, a construction site, a backyard event, a farm, you usually don't need a permit. We'll help you figure out what applies to your project. Check porta potty permit requirements for general guidance and porta potty placement guide for siting tips.
Weekly service is the baseline. One visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week follows the industry standard in ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. More frequent service (twice weekly or daily) costs extra and suits high-traffic events. Bloomington Porta Pros pumps the tank, cleans the seat and bowl, restocks toilet paper and adds deodorant on each visit. See how often are porta potties cleaned for details.
Hazardous waste, asbestos, liquids, propane tanks and tires are prohibited. Check what cannot go in a dumpster for the full list. A roll-off dumpster rental works for construction debris, yard waste and household junk in Bloomington.
Yes, but cold affects them. Holding tanks don't freeze if used regularly. Snow and ice make delivery harder because we need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck. See porta potty in winter for tips on winterizing and placement.
If you're hosting a public event or a work site with employees, yes. ADA Standards section 213.2 require that 5 percent of single-user portable toilet units in a cluster, and never fewer than one, be accessible. An ADA accessible porta potty has a wider door (32 inch minimum opening per ADA Standards 404.2.3), a 36 inch minimum clear route, and a 60 inch turning circle inside. These cost more but are not optional for most public gatherings in Bloomington.
