Whether you’re starting a construction project, hosting an outdoor event, or dealing with a septic emergency at home, renting a portable toilet offers a comfortable and convenient bathroom solution. However, not every porta potty is made the same. There are several options available, and each one is designed to meet different needs. Here are some of the most common types of units you can choose from. 

What Kind of Portable Toilets Are Available?

1. Standard 

A standard porta potty is a single unit restroom, like the kind most often seen at music festivals, fairs, and construction sites. Typically, these facilities come with toilet paper, a hand sanitizer dispenser, and a secure lock, but they don’t have a sink or flushing capabilities. Because of their minimalistic design, they tend to be the most affordable units on the market. 

2. Deluxe Flushable 

Flushing portable toilets are slightly bigger than standard rentals and have more features. Aside from being able to flush, they usually include a mirror, sink, and urinal or baby changing station. These are frequently used for home parties, food festivals, disaster relief work, and construction sites where contractors need to change and freshen up. 

3. Handicap Accessible

Portable toilets that are ADA compliant have spacious interiors to allow those with disabilities to move around with ease. They can accommodate assisted medical devices, such as wheelchairs and walkers, and include safety rails and lower toilet seats. These facilities are rented, and sometimes legally required, for events that are open to the public.

4. Portable Restroom Trailers 

Restroom trailers are significantly larger than standard porta potties and are made to look like a residential or hotel bathroom. They feature flushable toilets, sinks with hot and cold water, counter space, lights, and cabinets.

Generally, they also have good ventilation systems to eliminate odor and are climate controlled for increased comfort. The added amenities make these popular for weddings and corporate events.
