What size portable toilet do I need?
A standard unit is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands about 92 inches tall, holding 60 to 70 gallons. That's the right choice for most jobs. If you're running a construction crew in Southaven and you need to meet OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requirements, you'll need one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer; add a toilet seat and urinal per 40 workers from 20 up. For a wedding, festival or outdoor event, a deluxe flushable porta potty with a flushing mechanism works better. If site accessibility matters, an ADA accessible porta potty is built to ADA Standards section 213.2, meaning at least 5 percent of clustered units must be accessible, with a 60 inch diameter turning circle. Need help calculating the exact count? Our guide on how many porta potties you need breaks it down by job type.
How much does a porta potty rental cost?
Daily rates for a standard unit run between 100 and 350 dollars, depending on how long you keep it. Weekly rentals typically run higher than daily rates, and monthly rentals are the best value if you're looking at more than a few weeks. A delivery fee applies to every rental; the fee varies by rental duration and location. If you need something fancier, a deluxe unit with a sink or a restroom trailer, prices climb. Monthly porta potty rentals in Southaven offer the lowest per-day cost over time.

What are the rules for placement and permits?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before you order. Southaven Porta Pros can help you figure out whether your site qualifies, but the final sign-off comes from the municipality. Most construction sites and private property placements don't require permits, but it's worth asking. Read our porta potty placement guide for the full breakdown. If you're running a construction site with more than a few workers, you'll also need handwashing stations where employees contact paint, coatings, herbicides or insecticides per OSHA 1926.51(f)(1). A portable sink with soap and towels satisfies 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2); hand sanitizer alone does not. We deliver and service everything on schedule so you stay compliant.
How often are porta potties cleaned and serviced?
A standard service visit happens once per week for up to 10 users over a 40-hour work week, per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. If your crew is smaller or your event is shorter, we'll adjust. High-traffic sites, festivals, marathons, large construction crews, need more frequent pumping. Call us to discuss your actual usage and we'll set a service schedule that keeps the unit clean and compliant. We also handle septic pumping and grease trap pumping for restaurants and commercial kitchens in Southaven and nearby areas like Horn Lake, Hernando and Olive Branch.
Do you rent dumpsters and other equipment besides toilets?
Yes. Southaven Porta Pros handles roll-off dumpster rental, storage container rental, restroom trailers, temporary fencing and portable sinks. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck. We rent 10-yard, 20-yard and larger dumpsters for construction debris, renovation waste and cleanup jobs. Restroom trailers come in 2, 4 and 8-stall models for weddings and large events. Temporary fencing works for crowd control, site perimeter safety and special events. Call or visit our contact page to request a quote for any combination of equipment.
