How much does a porta potty cost per month?
Monthly pricing beats daily and weekly rates almost every time once a job runs past three or four weeks. A standard porta potty rental in Shreveport falls between 125 and 325 dollars a month, versus 100 to 350 dollars for a single day rented on its own. Delivery adds 120 to 420 dollars depending on distance and access, separate from the monthly rate. If you need a flushable option, a deluxe flushable porta potty runs 150 to 290 dollars a week, which is worth comparing before you commit to a full month. Service visits are built into most monthly quotes under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the industry baseline of one cleaning per week for units seeing regular use. Ask about your porta potty rental per day cost too, since some jobsites near Greenwood or Lakeview split short stretches across two rental terms instead of one long-term unit.
| unit | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | 100-350 | 130-500 | 125-325 |
| ada | 200-400 | 120-240 | - |
| dumpster | 51-112 | 426-778 | 91-500 |
Why does long term portable toilet rental cost less per day?
Fewer deliveries and pickups mean lower overhead spread across more days. A long term porta potty rental cost works out lower per day than a weekend rental because the truck only rolls twice, at drop-off and at pickup, instead of every few days. Construction crews working a renovation near Blanchard, about 13.7 miles northwest of Shreveport, often keep one unit on site for months rather than swapping units weekly. That single delivery run also covers ongoing servicing, which matters under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1): one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, scaling up from there. A home renovation porta potty rental usually qualifies for the monthly rate once the contractor knows the project will run past a few weeks. For bigger crews, check how many porta potties do i need before locking in a unit count for the whole job.
What is included in a monthly porta potty rental?
A monthly rental from Shreveport Porta Pros includes the unit, delivery, pickup, and weekly servicing under the same visit schedule referenced by ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. The standard unit measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank sized for regular weekly service. If your crew needs an accessible option, an ada accessible porta potty unit must meet ADA Standards section 213.2, which requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster, and section 404.2.3 sets a 32 inch minimum clear door opening. Sites doing painting or coating work should plan for handwashing under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1), which applies specifically to paints, coatings, herbicides and insecticides, not general use. A handwashing station rental or portable sink rental pairs well with a monthly toilet order for that reason. Larger events sometimes add a restroom trailer rental instead, especially when running past 30 days.
Do I need a permit for a long term unit in Shreveport?
Permit rules for placing a unit in the public right of way still need confirming directly with the city; we have not verified a specific Shreveport ordinance for this page. Sites keeping a unit on private property for a full construction cycle rarely need anything beyond the property owner's approval, but placement near a street or sidewalk is a different question. See our porta potty permit requirements page for what to ask the city, and review porta potty placement guide for setup basics like ground stability, referenced generally by ADA Standards section 302.1 for stable, slip resistant surfaces. Roll-off deliveries need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, worth checking before scheduling drop-off if you are also renting a roll-off dumpster rental alongside your toilets. Crews near Red Chute, about 15.4 miles northeast of Shreveport, and Haughton, 20.5 miles east, should confirm rural access separately since driveway length varies.
What other services pair with a monthly rental?
Long jobsites rarely need just one thing. A septic pumping service keeps holding tanks from overflowing between scheduled visits, and a residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on tank size and household size. Job sites clearing debris alongside a long rental often add a 10 yard dumpster rental or larger, and restaurants nearby may need grease trap pumping once fats, oils, and grease reach 25 percent of the liquid depth in the interceptor. Fencing off a work zone calls for a temporary fence rental, which runs 30 to 75 dollars a day depending on footage. Storage needs pair well too, whether that is a storage container rental or a mobile office trailer rental for the crew.

How much is a monthly porta potty rental in Shreveport?
Most standard units run 125 to 325 dollars a month, with 200 dollars a common midpoint. Delivery is billed separately and typically adds 120 to 420 dollars depending on distance and site access. Weekly servicing is usually included in that monthly figure.
Is monthly cheaper than renting by the week?
Yes, almost always. Weekly rates for a standard unit run 130 to 500 dollars, which adds up fast across four weeks compared to a flat monthly rate of 125 to 325 dollars. Long jobs should default to monthly pricing.
How many units do I need for a long construction job?
That depends on crew size under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1): one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, scaling from there as headcount grows. See how many porta potties do i need for the full breakdown by worker count.
Does a monthly rental include cleaning?
Yes. Servicing follows the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline of one visit per week for units under regular use. Heavier-use sites can request additional visits, which usually costs more than the base monthly rate.
Can I switch from monthly to weekly if my job finishes early?
Yes, most contracts allow it, but confirm the switch date with Shreveport Porta Pros before your billing cycle renews. Shorter terms cost more per day, so switching early only makes sense once the job is genuinely wrapping up.
