Standard porta potty
$125 to $250 a weekend
How many porta potties do I need for a construction site?
The crew size drives the count. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers up to 200, then 1 per 50 at 200 or more. A 12-person crew needs one unit. A 50-person job needs at least two. We serve Mequon job sites from small renovations to major builds, and we'll help you land on the right number. Check how many porta potties you need for the exact breakdown by crew size.
Mequon sits in the Milwaukee metro area, so the math is the same whether you're on a residential remodel or commercial construction. Standard porta potty rental units hold 60 to 70 gallons and are about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, so they fit tight urban lots and suburban driveways both. A standard unit stands 92 inches tall, which matters if you're placing one inside a garage or under low-hanging wires.
Service frequency is the other variable. How often porta potties are cleaned depends on use intensity. A baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 is one service visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40-hour week. Higher traffic demands twice weekly. We run a service truck from Milwaukee out to Mequon regularly, so scheduling fits your timeline without delay.
What does a porta potty cost in Mequon?
Rental duration stacks the cost. Weekly rates are higher than daily, and monthly rates are higher than weekly, so longer leases lock in a better per-day number. Delivery to Mequon from Milwaukee Porta Pros runs $50 to $150 per week. A standard unit rents $130 to $500 per week depending on length and service count. If you need a deluxe flushable porta potty, the price range widens to $150 to $290 per week.
An ADA accessible porta potty is larger and meets ADA Standards section 213.2, which requires 5 percent of clustered units, never fewer than one, to be accessible. Those run $120 to $240 per week. Weekend rentals are premium short-term rates. Many Mequon crews and events add a unit Friday through Monday at peak rates.
We're 11.8 miles north into Mequon from Milwaukee, and that short haul keeps delivery costs down compared to farther suburbs. You'll also factor in whether you want a service visit weekly or twice weekly. Once you pick your unit type and rental term, we'll quote the exact price and arrange delivery. Check the porta potty rental cost page for a full pricing matrix, then request a quote.
Do I need a permit to place a porta potty in Mequon?
Yes. Mequon, like Milwaukee, requires a permit to occupy the public right of way. The applicable rules sit in municipal code chapters governing street work, public ways, and special privileges. You'll need to confirm placement details with Mequon's city offices before we drop the unit. Milwaukee Porta Pros handles the logistics, but the permit application is your responsibility or we can walk you through it.
If you're placing a unit on private property, your own lot, a contractor's staging area, a venue's grounds, you don't need a city permit. That's the simplest route. Public way placement, like a street-facing construction zone or a festival using parking, triggers the permit requirement.
Mequon's Department of Public Works handles occupancy permits for temporary use of streets and public areas. The process is straightforward for short-term rentals: you submit a form, the city approves it, and we deliver once the permit is in hand. Lead time is usually 5 to 10 business days. We serve service areas across the Milwaukee region including Mequon, and we've worked hundreds of Mequon job sites and events, so we know the process cold.
Winter in Mequon runs cold. Average January minimum is 15.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Milwaukee Porta Pros units are winterized to keep lines from freezing. Snowfall averages 46.9 inches per year. We service units year-round so winter weather doesn't shut down your job. Porta potties in winter run fine with our maintenance. If you're also renting a restroom trailer for heated comfort on a long job, we've got those too.
How long does delivery take from Milwaukee to Mequon?
About 26 minutes from our Milwaukee base to central Mequon. If you're on the north edge of town, expect 30 to 35 minutes.
Can I put a porta potty on a residential driveway in Mequon?
Yes. Private property doesn't need a city permit. You'll want 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck for the drop-off, and level ground helps. A standard unit is about 44 by 48 inches, so it fits most driveways. Home renovation porta potty placements work fine if you have room.
What if my Mequon crew needs handwashing too?
OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities where employees apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) says soap and towels or a hand drying device are required; hand sanitizer alone doesn't qualify. We rent handwashing stations that pair with porta potties. One station covers a crew of 10 to 15 people.
Does Milwaukee Porta Pros service units in Mequon on weekends?
Yes. We run weekend service calls in Mequon. Weekend rates are higher than weekday, but availability is there.
What if my job runs into January or February in Mequon?
Wisconsin winters are cold and snowy. Our winterized units handle it. Average snowfall is 46.9 inches per year. We service porta potties and check on them in winter to keep everything flowing.
