How Much Does a Porta Potty Cost Per Month?
Monthly pricing depends on unit type, service frequency and how far the site sits from our yard. A standard porta potty rental in Aurora falls between 125 and 325 dollars a month, and that spread covers everything from a single unit on a quiet lot to a job site needing extra service visits. Compare that to a porta potty rental per day, which makes more sense for a one-off weekend than a project running past 30 days. Delivery adds another 120 to 420 dollars for the month depending on distance and access, separate from the unit rate. If you're pricing a jobsite off Colfax or anywhere inside Aurora proper, ask about drive distance up front, since a site 12 miles out toward Four Square Mile costs more to service than one a few minutes from the yard. For a deeper breakdown of what drives the number up or down, see our page on porta potty rental cost generally, or check monthly porta potty rental pricing specifics against your headcount using the how many porta potties do I need guide.
| unit | month | notes |
|---|---|---|
| standard | 125-325 | most common for long jobs |
| storage container | 100-250 | for tools and materials on the same site |
| delivery fee | 120-420 | one-time, distance-based |
| service fee | 100-300 | recurring cleaning visits |
Why Does Long Term Porta Potty Rental Cost Less Per Week?
Because the delivery and pickup charge gets spread across more weeks of use. A single weekend rental has to cover the truck roll both ways in two or three days. A month-long job spreads that same cost over four to five weeks, which is why long term portable toilet rental rates beat renting week to week when you already know the job runs past a month. Construction crews building out a subdivision near Watkins, 13.3 miles east of central Aurora, typically book by the month rather than renewing weekly, since it locks in the lower rate and keeps a construction dumpster rental and toilet order on the same delivery schedule. If your crew count changes mid-project, our porta john rental page walks through swapping unit counts without breaking the monthly rate. Renovation jobs are the same story: a home renovation porta potty booked for six weeks almost always beats six separate weekly charges.
What's Included in a Monthly Rental?
A monthly rental includes the unit, delivery, pickup and a set number of service visits, usually one per week. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the portable sanitation service standard, sets a baseline of one service visit per week for units seeing up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, and that's the cadence most monthly Aurora contracts follow. Each standard unit holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank and stands about 92 inches tall on a footprint near 44 by 48 inches, so plan placement accordingly using our porta potty placement guide. If your site needs more frequent pumping because of higher headcount, that's an add-on service fee, not a change to the base monthly rate. Crews running heavier crews should check OSHA 1926.51(c), which sets toilet ratios starting at one facility per 20 workers on a construction site, before finalizing unit count. For jobs that need a flushing option instead of a standard unit, look at the deluxe flushable porta potty, and for ADA compliance, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster, which our ADA accessible porta potty covers.
Is Monthly Rental Cheaper Than Weekly for My Site?
Almost always, once a project passes three to four weeks. A single week of standard rental costs more per week in isolation than the same unit locked into a 30-day term, since the delivery fee amortizes further. If you're not sure how long the job runs, start with a porta potty rental per day or weekly quote and convert to monthly once the timeline firms up; we handle that conversion without a new delivery charge in most cases. Sites farther out, like a build near Aetna Estates 4.7 miles northeast or Parker 19.1 miles south, still qualify for monthly rates, though delivery falls on the higher end of the 120 to 420 dollar band because of drive time. Event organizers planning something recurring, like a monthly farmers market, should look at event restroom rental instead, since event pricing structures differently than a static jobsite contract.
Do I need a permit for a long term unit in Aurora?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery, since permit rules vary by location and were not verified for this page. If your unit sits entirely on private property, this usually isn't an issue. Check our porta potty permit requirements page before you commit to a spot near a sidewalk or street.
Can I switch from monthly to weekly mid-contract?
Yes, though the rate changes to match the shorter term once you switch. Most customers lock in monthly because the job outlasts a few weeks anyway. If your timeline is genuinely uncertain, ask about a rolling week-to-week start and we'll convert it to monthly once you know the finish date.
How many units do I need for a month-long construction job?
OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline: one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers as crew size climbs past that. Our OSHA portable toilet requirements page breaks this down by crew size so you're not guessing on delivery day.
Does the monthly rate include cleaning and pumping?
Yes, one service visit per week is standard per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 guidance, covering pumping, restocking and a cleaning pass. Higher-traffic sites can add visits for an extra service fee. See how often are porta potties cleaned for what that visit actually covers.
What if my Aurora jobsite is outside the city limits?
We still service surrounding towns; check service areas for confirmed coverage and driving distance from our yard. Sites near Centennial, 23.3 miles southwest, or Greenwood Village, 15.8 miles southwest, fall within range but carry a higher delivery fee reflecting drive time.
