Where can I rent a porta potty in Cary?
Right here. Cary Porta Pros is the porta potty rental source for the city and the towns around it. We reach Morrisville 5.7 miles north and Apex 8.2 miles southwest without a long haul, and we run out to Durham 18.2 miles north and Holly Springs 15.8 miles south too. Our full service area lists every town we cover. If you are close to Cary, we can place a standard unit, a deluxe flushable model or an ADA unit where you need it. Weekend events, weddings and festivals all get the same crew. Construction crews in Apex and Garner 15.5 miles southeast use us for job sites. Call, or request a quote and tell us the address. That is the whole first step.
What does portable toilet rental cost in Cary?
A standard unit is the anchor price. Rent one for a day, a week or a month, and the rental cost scales with the term you pick. Longer terms cost more in total but less per day. Here is the summary for a single standard unit.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 150 | 200 | 200 |
| Deluxe flushable | 300 | 250 | - |
| ADA accessible | 230 | 185 | - |
Prices above are typical figures, not quotes. A per-day standard rental suits short jobs. For a build that runs weeks, the monthly rate is the one to look at. Event pricing works differently, so check the event restroom page. Delivery and service fees are separate line items. For the full breakdown of every portable toilet rental cost we quote, and how dumpster pricing and trailer pricing compare, use the linked pages.
How fast can you deliver a porta potty?
Most orders land in 24 to 48 hours. Same-day is sometimes possible in Cary if you call early and the unit is close. Emergency rentals move faster when a storm or a burst line forces it, and disaster relief work gets priority. The driver needs a spot the truck can reach. A standard unit sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands about 92 inches tall, so mind low branches and wires. For placement rules, read the placement guide. Setting a unit in the public right of way in Cary needs confirming with the city first, and we will not guess a rule that is not on the books in front of us. The permit page covers what we know. On private property, delivery is simpler. Tell us the surface, gravel, grass or pavement, when you contact us.
Which porta potty unit is right for me?
Four types cover most jobs. The standard portable toilet is the workhorse for construction and general use, with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank. The deluxe flushable unit adds a foot flush and a sink, which reads better at a wedding or a golf tournament. The ADA accessible unit meets ADA Standards section 404.2.3 with a 32 inch minimum clear door and the 60 inch turning circle from section 304.3.1. For upscale events, a restroom trailer steps up to flushing toilets and running water. Trailers come in a 2 stall, a 4 stall and an 8 stall, plus a luxury trailer and a shower trailer. Not sure how many you need? The count guide walks the math.
How does porta potty service work?
We deliver, we service on a schedule, and we haul away at the end. The baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 is one service visit a week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Busy sites and hot festival crowds need more. A service visit pumps the tank, refills supplies and cleans the unit. Curious how often that happens? The cleaning schedule page explains it, and the do porta potties smell page covers odor control. For the mechanics, read how porta potties work. Cold snaps in Cary change the routine, so see porta potty in winter. We pair units with handwashing stations or sanitizer stands where the job calls for it. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), washing facilities need soap and towels or a dryer, and hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy that.
What does OSHA require on a construction site?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the toilet count. One facility covers 20 workers or fewer. From 20 up, you need one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers, and at 200 or more, one per 50. The OSHA requirements page lays it out, and our construction site services bundle handles the whole setup. Potable water is required under OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) at every place of employment. Where crews apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities, and the handwashing requirements page covers that case. A construction dumpster keeps debris off the ground per OSHA 1926.25. For home renovation jobs the same math shrinks to one unit. Need a checklist before you order? We have one.
Do you rent dumpsters, storage and other site gear?
Yes. Cary Porta Pros is more than toilets. We drop roll-off dumpsters in 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so clear the driveway first. See the sizes page, the weight limits and what cannot go in a dumpster. Dumpster placement in Cary may need a permit, covered on the permit page. We also rent storage containers in 20ft and 40ft, plus mobile office trailers and light towers. For power, we set a temporary power pole. Fencing comes in chain link and crowd control barriers.
Do you handle septic pumping in Cary?
We do. A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size, and the how often page helps you time it. Our septic pumping service and tank cleaning crews cover Cary and towns like Morrisville and Fuquay-Varina 21.9 miles south. Watch for warning signs like slow drains, and call emergency septic service if it backs up. Restaurants need grease trap pumping; a grease interceptor gets pumped when grease and solids hit 25 percent of the liquid depth. For pumping cost, see the linked page. We also rent a holding tank where there is no septic system. Learn more about us or check the FAQ.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a standard porta potty cost per day?
A standard unit is about 150 dollars a day as a typical figure, with delivery and service billed separately. Weekly and monthly terms lower the per-day rate. See the cost page and the per-day breakdown for exact ranges and what drives them.
How many porta potties do I need for my event?
It depends on head count and hours. A rough baseline is one unit per 50 guests for a few hours, adjusted up for alcohol and long days. Our count guide does the math, and the event restroom page covers weekend setups.
Can you deliver the same day?
Sometimes, in Cary, if you call early and a unit sits close by. Most orders arrive in 24 to 48 hours. A true emergency, like a storm or a broken line, jumps the queue. Start with the emergency rental page or call us.
Do I need a permit to place a porta potty?
On private property, usually no. Placing a unit in the public right of way in Cary needs confirming with the city first, and we will not name a rule we cannot see. The permit requirements page covers what we know for certain.
Are your units ADA accessible?
Yes. Our ADA accessible units meet ADA Standards section 404.2.3 with a 32 inch clear door and the 60 inch turning circle from section 304.3.1. Where units are clustered, section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent, never fewer than one, be accessible.
How often do you service a rental?
The ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline is one visit a week for up to 10 users on a 40 hour week. Heavy use needs more. Each visit pumps the tank, cleans and restocks. See how often units are cleaned for the full schedule.
What areas do you cover besides Cary?
We reach Morrisville 5.7 miles north, Apex 8.2 miles southwest, Garner 15.5 miles southeast and Chapel Hill 23.3 miles northwest, plus Carrboro. The full list sits on the service areas page.
