Nail your porta potty order by checking six things: headcount, rental length, ADA needs, ground surface, service frequency and delivery access. Fort Myers Porta Pros builds every quote around these six items, and a standard unit alone runs $100 to $350 a day, so skipping even one of the six is the most common reason a delivery gets delayed or a unit shows up wrong for the site.
Start with headcount, then apply the ratio, not a guess. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets 1 toilet per 20 construction workers or fewer, moving to 1 toilet and 1 urinal per 40 once you pass 20 people, and 1 per 50 at 200 or more. Farms and hand-labor crews fall under a different rule, OSHA 1928.110, which calls for one facility per 20 workers within a quarter mile walk. Events run differently since guests do not share a shift schedule the way a job crew does. If you are still unsure, the How Many Porta Potties Do I Need guide walks through headcount math step by step, and the full OSHA Portable Toilet Requirements page covers the ratio table in detail. For weddings, festivals or fun runs, check the Event Restroom Rental page instead of applying a job-site ratio. A Standard Porta Potty Rental unit runs about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, so measure your placement spot before you commit to a count.
Match the unit to the work, not the other way around. A basic construction crew usually wants the Standard Porta Potty Rental, while office staff or long-term crews often ask for the Deluxe Flushable Porta Potty with a foot pump flush. Every cluster of units needs an accessible option too: ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of clustered single-user units to be accessible, and never fewer than one. That means checking the ADA Accessible Porta Potty box on any order over a handful of units. Accessible units also need a 60 inch turning circle per ADA Standards 304.3.1 and a 32 inch clear door opening under ADA Standards 404.2.3, so leave room around the unit, not just in front of it. Larger weddings or corporate events in Fort Myers often skip standalone units entirely and book a Restroom Trailer Rental, sized from a 2 Stall Restroom Trailer up to an 8 Stall Restroom Trailer for bigger crowds.
Ground surface and access decide placement more than anything else. ADA Standards 302.1 requires the surface under and around an accessible unit to be stable, firm and slip resistant, so soft grass or loose gravel can disqualify a spot even if it is closer to the work zone. Fort Myers sites near the river or low-lying lots should plan for that ahead of delivery. A roll-off truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it, which matters if you are also ordering a Roll-Off Dumpster Rental alongside your restroom units for the same job. Curb placement in Fort Myers right-of-way is not something we can confirm from a spec sheet, so check with the city before setting anything on a public street; our Porta Potty Placement Guide and Porta Potty Permit Requirements pages cover what to ask. If you are working near Page Park, about 5.0 miles southwest of downtown Fort Myers, or Pine Manor, 6.1 miles southwest, keep the same clearance rule in mind since narrow residential streets there limit truck angles.
Yes, and it is easy to forget until inspection day. Handwashing is a separate line item from toilets under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), which requires soap and towels or a hand-drying device, not hand sanitizer alone, at general industry sites. If your crew is applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) kicks in specifically for that washing need, so pair your toilet order with a Handwashing Station Rental or a Portable Sink Rental rather than assuming sanitizer covers it. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) also requires an adequate supply of potable water at every place of employment, which most handwashing stations already carry onboard. Confused about which rule applies to your crew type? The Handwashing Station Requirements page breaks down construction versus general industry versus agricultural rules side by side. Add a Hand Sanitizer Station Rental as a supplement, never a replacement, near high-traffic entry points.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |

Pricing depends on unit type, rental length and delivery distance, and a weekend rate on a standard unit typically runs higher than a single weekday but less than a full week. Full breakdowns live on Porta Potty Rental Cost, Porta Potty Rental Per Day and Monthly Porta Potty Rental, and delivery fees are quoted separately from the unit itself.
Book as soon as you have a headcount and a date. Standard availability in Fort Myers tightens fast around large events, and ADA units are limited stock, so lock those in first. Same-week orders are possible but limit your unit choices; call ahead if your date is under five days out.
Sometimes, depending on route and stock. Fort Myers Porta Pros handles urgent orders through Emergency Porta Potty Rental, but same-day is not guaranteed for every unit type. Call first thing in the morning for the best shot at a same-day slot.
ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets a baseline of one service visit per week for up to 10 users across a 40 hour week. Heavier use, multi-day events or larger crews need more frequent visits. See How Often Are Porta Potties Cleaned for details on scheduling around your job.
That depends on where the unit sits. Placement on private property is usually straightforward, but right-of-way placement needs confirming directly with the city since permit rules vary by location. Check Porta Potty Permit Requirements before finalizing your site plan.
Many sites bundle services. A wedding might need a Restroom Trailer Rental plus Temporary Fence Rental for crowd flow, while a construction job often adds a Storage Container Rental alongside its toilets. Ask about bundling when you request your quote.
