Yes, Yakima Porta Pros sets up crew and talent restrooms on film sets across Yakima, usually with 24 to 48 hours notice for standalone portable toilet rental or a full restroom trailer rental for a multi-day shoot. Standard units run 100 to 350 dollars a day.
Crew size decides the count, same as any job site. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline at one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, stepping up as headcount grows, and that ratio holds whether you are running a two-person documentary crew or a 60-person feature unit. Most productions in Yakima lean on standard porta potty rental for grip and camera departments, then bring in a deluxe flushable porta potty or two near base camp for department heads and talent. If the production has a cast member with mobility needs, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster, never fewer than one regardless of the total count, and an ADA accessible porta potty satisfies that on its own. For anything beyond a one-day shoot, a 4 stall restroom trailer or 8 stall restroom trailer keeps lines short during meal breaks, and talent trailers often pair with a luxury restroom trailer for closer quarters to set. Locations crews scouting orchards or open lots outside town should also check farm and agricultural restrooms if the shoot sits on working farmland. We also handle portable generator rental film needs alongside sanitation, since most locations without permanent power need both restroom units and lighting rigs running off the same setup, and a light tower rental usually shares a delivery slot with the toilets.
Placement depends on the site more than the script. A standard unit needs about 44 by 48 inches of ground footprint and stands roughly 92 inches tall, so tight alley shots or narrow soundstage bays need a walk to be measured before delivery day. If the location is inside city limits, our porta potty placement guide covers ground clearance and access lanes, and any unit going into a public right of way in Yakima needs placement confirmed with the city first, since we have not verified a blanket rule either way. Roll-off crews clearing set dressing or construction debris after a build need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, which matters on locations near Terrace Heights or Selah where driveways run narrow. A roll-off dumpster rental alongside the restroom order handles strike day cleanup, and productions filming near Ahtanum or Gleed sometimes run both off the same access road. If the shoot needs a fenced perimeter for security or crowd control near a public location, temporary fence rental keeps extras and onlookers off the shot without blocking restroom access. Wardrobe and makeup trailers running water lines should also plan for handwashing station rental near catering, since 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand drying device at washing stations, not sanitizer alone.
Cost depends on unit type and how many days you are on location. A single standard unit for a one-day shoot lands in the 100 to 350 dollar range, while a restroom trailer for a multi-day production runs higher because of the added plumbing and generator draw.
| Unit | Duration | Typical Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Standard porta potty | Day | 100-350 |
| Standard porta potty | Week | 130-500 |
| ADA unit | Day | 200-400 |
| Restroom trailer | Day | 175-2500 |
| Restroom trailer | Week | 150-1650 |
Delivery fees run separately and scale with distance and rush timing; see porta potty rental cost and restroom trailer rental cost for the full fee breakdown before you lock a location budget. Productions shooting a single scene often ask about porta potty rental per day pricing instead of a weekly commitment, and that daily rate usually makes more sense for a one-off exterior shot. If your shoot schedule keeps shifting, request a quote early rather than the week of the shoot, since standard units and trailers both book out during festival season around Yakima.
OSHA 1926.51(c) puts the ratio at one toilet for every 20 workers up to 40, meaning a 40-person crew needs at least two units, plus one urinal once you cross that 20-worker line. Add one ADA unit if talent or crew requires accessible access, per ADA Standards 213.2.
Yes. Locations near Ahtanum, 5.4 miles southwest, or Summitview, 5.9 miles west, are within normal delivery range, and remote farmland or orchard sets follow the same delivery process as any construction site services order.
Most do, since flush systems and interior lighting draw power that a bare location does not have. We coordinate trailer delivery with generator and temporary power pole setup so both arrive on the same trip.
24 to 48 hours works for standard units, but multi-day shoots needing a trailer or holding tank rental support should book a week out, especially during peak festival months when Yakima rental stock runs tight.
Call and extend before the scheduled pickup. Daily and weekly rates both sit in the monthly porta potty rental pricing structure if the shoot stretches past a week, so extending costs less than a fresh delivery.
