A standard porta potty rental in Yakima runs 100 to 350 dollars a day, 130 to 500 dollars a week, or 125 to 325 dollars a month, depending on rental length and how many units you need. It's the basic single-stall toilet you see on job sites and in backyards, and it's the cheapest way to add restrooms fast.
A standard unit is the workhorse of portable toilet rental in Yakima. It's about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, so it fits in a driveway, a fence line or a tight job site corner without eating up much space. Inside is a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank, a seat, and hand sanitizer. No sink, no flush, no frills. That's what keeps the standard porta potty rental cost below the deluxe and trailer options.
If you want the flush version with a foot pump and a real toilet feel, look at the deluxe flushable porta potty instead. If you need something ADA compliant with a wider door and turning space, ADA Standards section 304.3.1 calls for a 60 inch turning circle, and section 404.2.3 sets a minimum clear door opening of 32 inches. That's a separate unit, covered on our ADA accessible porta potty page. For most homeowners doing a weekend project or a contractor running a crew, the standard unit is the right call, and you can size your count with our how many porta potties do I need guide.
Price depends on how long you keep the unit and how far the delivery truck has to drive. Here's what the numbers look like across a typical Yakima rental:
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $100 | $150 | $350 |
| Week | $130 | $200 | $500 |
| Month | $125 | $200 | $325 |
| Weekend | $125 | $250 | $400 |
| Event | $200 | $400 | $800 |
Delivery is usually a separate line, running 100 to 500 dollars for a single-day drop and 50 to 150 dollars for a week-long rental, since the truck makes fewer trips. If you're near Selah, about 7.5 miles north of Yakima, or Terrace Heights, 6.7 miles east, delivery routing is simple and shouldn't add much. Ahtanum sits 5.4 miles southwest and Summitview 5.9 miles west, both close enough that most quotes come in near the low end of the delivery band. For a full breakdown by duration, see porta potty rental per day and monthly porta potty rental, or check general porta potty rental cost if you're still comparing unit types.
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the ratio: one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers once you pass 20, and one seat and one urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. That's the number that drives most construction site services orders in Yakima. Skip it and you're out of compliance the day an inspector walks the site.
Standard units also need potable water nearby under OSHA 1926.51(a)(1), which is usually handled with a separate handwashing station rental or portable sink rental placed next to the toilets. If your crew is spraying paint, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that contact, which is a different requirement than basic sanitation and worth checking against our handwashing requirements page. Service interval matters too: ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets a baseline of one pump-out per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, more often on a busy site. Full detail on ratios and setup lives on our OSHA portable toilet requirements page. Renovation crews with smaller headcounts often just need one unit, and that's covered on home renovation porta potty.
Placement on your own property is straightforward: level ground, away from windows and doors, easy truck access. Placement in the public right of way is different, and that needs confirming directly with the City of Yakima before you set anything at a curb or sidewalk. We don't guess at that rule, and neither should you. Our porta potty placement guide walks through the practical side, and porta potty permit requirements covers what to ask the city before delivery day.
Backyard events, weddings and small gatherings usually don't trigger any permit question at all, since they sit on private property. If you're planning a wedding, our wedding restroom rental page has sizing tips, and for county fair or festival setups, see county fair restrooms and festival restroom rental. Farms and orchards around Yakima have their own rule set: OSHA 1928.110 requires field sanitation facilities for hand-labor employees, one per 20 workers, within a quarter mile walk, which matters a lot for farm and agricultural restrooms.
For 20 workers or fewer, OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires just one toilet facility. Once you go over 20, you need a toilet seat and urinal for every 40 workers. Most small residential jobs and short-term crews in Yakima only need a single standard unit.
A standard unit has a seat, hand sanitizer, and a 60 to 70 gallon tank, no water hookup. A deluxe unit adds a flush mechanism and a nicer interior, and it costs more, from 85 to 1,200 dollars a day depending on rental length and features.
ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets a baseline of one service visit a week for up to 10 users over a standard 40 hour work week. High-traffic sites or events usually need more frequent pump-outs, which your provider can schedule around actual use.
On private property, usually not. If the unit sits in the public right of way, near a sidewalk or curb, that placement needs confirming with the City of Yakima directly, since we don't have a published rule to point to here.
Yes. Weekend rentals for a standard unit typically run 125 to 400 dollars, covering Friday drop-off through Monday pickup. It's a common choice for backyard parties, small renovation jobs and one-off gatherings that don't need a week-long commitment.
