What Is a Standard Porta Potty Rental?
A standard unit is the workhorse of portable toilet rental: a single-stall, non-flushing toilet with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank. Standard porta potty dimensions run about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, standing roughly 92 inches tall, and that standard porta potty size fits most job sites and backyard events without trouble. No water hookup, no plumbing, nothing to trench. North Little Rock Porta Pros delivers it, sets it level, and services it on a schedule you pick. It is what most people picture when they hear "porta john," and it is the base model behind porta john rental and portable restroom rental pages across this site. If you need something nicer, step up to the deluxe flushable porta potty, which adds a flush mechanism and a larger interior. If you need code-compliant access, look at the ADA accessible porta potty instead. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the industry sanitation standard, sets a baseline service interval of once a week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour work week, which is why most standard rentals on a job site get serviced weekly rather than daily.
Standard Porta Potty Rental Cost in North Little Rock
The standard porta potty rental price depends on how long you need the unit and how often it gets serviced. Here is what North Little Rock Porta Pros typically quotes for a single standard unit:
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $100 | $150 | $350 |
| Week | $130 | $200 | $500 |
| Month | $125 | $200 | $325 |
| Event | $200 | $400 | $800 |
Delivery is usually a separate line item, generally $100 to $150 for a short job, sometimes less on a weekly rate. For a weekend event, expect a flat rate closer to $125 to $400 depending on unit count and pickup timing.

How Many Standard Units Do I Need?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the ratio for construction sites: one toilet for 20 or fewer workers, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers once you pass 20, and one per 50 once you hit 200 or more. A crew of 15 framing a house in North Little Rock needs one unit. A 60-person crew needs two or three, depending on layout and how spread out the site is. Non-construction workplaces fall under a different set of ratios in 1910.141(c)(1)(i), and farm labor crews fall under OSHA 1928.110, which calls for one facility per 20 field workers within a quarter mile walk. Event planners use a different math entirely, based on headcount and hours, not crew size.

If you are running a jobsite with other equipment needs, North Little Rock Porta Pros bundles standard units with temporary fence rental and handwashing station rental on the same delivery run.
Where Can I Place a Standard Unit in North Little Rock?
Placement matters more than people expect. The unit needs stable, level ground, clearance for the service truck to reach it on pump day, and enough space that the door swings without hitting a fence line or dumpster. If you are placing units in a public right of way anywhere in North Little Rock, that needs confirming with the city before delivery, since we cannot list a blanket rule here. For everything else, ADA Standards 302.1 calls for stable, firm, slip-resistant ground surfaces on any accessible route, which is worth knowing even on a job that only needs standard units today but might need an ADA unit later. Full guidance lives on our porta potty placement guide and porta potty permit requirements pages. Homeowners doing a kitchen gut or a room addition should also check home renovation porta potty for sizing on smaller residential jobs.
