"Porta john" is just the working name folks use for a portable toilet, and in Gardena a standard unit rents for somewhere between 100 and 350 dollars a day depending on how long you need it and how many you're ordering. Weekly and monthly rates drop the per-day cost.
Price depends on unit type and rental length, not just how many days you check off a calendar. A standard porta potty rental in Gardena runs in the range below, and the same unit costs less per day the longer you keep it. If you want the exact math worked out for your job, the porta potty rental cost page breaks it down further, and the porta potty rental per day page is worth a look if you're only renting for a day or two.
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $100 | $150 | $350 |
| Week | $130 | $200 | $500 |
| Month | $125 | $200 | $325 |
Delivery is billed separately in most cases, usually 100 to 150 dollars for a single day drop and pickup. If this is a recurring job site need rather than a one-time rental, the monthly porta potty rental option in Gardena usually works out cheaper per week than booking week to week. Want something nicer than a standard unit? A luxury porta john rental, what we'd call a deluxe flushable unit, costs more but includes a flush mechanism and a nicer interior. Those run 85 to 1,200 dollars a day depending on the model and how long you keep it.
OSHA answers this one directly for construction sites. Under OSHA 1926.51(c), you need 1 toilet for 20 workers or fewer, and once you pass 20 workers it's 1 toilet seat plus 1 urinal per 40 workers, dropping to one per 50 once you hit 200 workers or more. That's the baseline for any job site in Gardena running a crew past a long weekend. If you're not sure how that math shakes out for your crew size, the how many porta potties do I need guide walks through it, and the full OSHA portable toilet requirements page covers the ratio table in more detail.
A standard unit holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank and sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, standing roughly 92 inches tall, so plan your layout with that footprint in mind. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets the baseline service interval at once a week for up to 10 users across a 40 hour week, though busier sites often need more frequent visits. If your job requires accessible units, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of clustered single-user toilets to be accessible, and never fewer than one. Our ADA accessible porta potty units meet that standard, with a 60 inch turning circle inside per ADA 304.3.1.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city of Gardena directly, since we haven't verified a specific local ordinance for curb or sidewalk placement. On private property, the main things to think about are truck access, ground stability, and keeping the unit level. If you're near Alondra Park, about 2.0 miles west of central Gardena, or planning something closer to West Athens, 2.4 miles north, delivery routes are short either way and don't change pricing much. Our porta potty placement guide covers ground surface, clearance, and service access in more detail, and the porta potty permit requirements page is the place to start if your project touches a sidewalk or street.
ADA Standards section 302.1 calls for a stable, firm, slip resistant surface under and around any accessible unit, which usually rules out loose gravel or soft turf. If you're placing a restroom trailer instead of a standalone unit, remember it needs a level pad and, for larger units, more clearance than a single porta john. Roll-off deliveries need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, a detail worth checking before your roll-off dumpster rental shows up on the same site.
Not automatically, but for most construction and food-adjacent jobs in Gardena, yes. General handwashing under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand drying device, and hand sanitizer alone doesn't satisfy that. If your crew is applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) specifically requires washing facilities for that work. A handwashing station rental or a simple portable sink rental pairs easily with any porta john order and usually ships on the same delivery. Full detail on when it's required lives on the handwashing station requirements page.
Whether you're running a home remodel through home renovation porta potty service or staffing a bigger construction site services package, pairing a toilet with a wash station keeps a jobsite compliant without much added cost or hassle.
