Yes, Commerce City Porta Pros rents restrooms built for production schedules, with same-day delivery available and units ranging from a single standard porta potty rental at 60 to 70 gallons of holding capacity to a full restroom trailer rental for a 40-person crew.
Crew size and shoot length drive the decision more than genre or budget. A small commercial shoot with 15 people for one day works fine with a couple of standard porta potty rental units near base camp. A feature with a 60-person crew running three weeks needs something closer to a 4 stall restroom trailer or 8 stall restroom trailer, plus a separate unit for talent. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the ratio that most production coordinators use as a floor: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers as the crew grows past that. If your locations manager is unsure how many units that math actually calls for on a call sheet with departments coming and going, the how many porta potties do I need guide walks through it. Directors and producers who want something nicer than a standard unit for cast trailers usually go with a deluxe flushable porta potty or step up to a luxury restroom trailer with climate control and real fixtures. Wardrobe and makeup departments near water and power also tend to request a handwashing station rental or a portable sink rental set up right outside the trailer door, since 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand-drying device at any washing station, not just sanitizer.
Placement on a film set is really a logistics problem, not just a sanitation one. Units need to sit close enough to base camp for cast and crew to use them between takes, but far enough that they stay out of every wide shot and off mic booms. A porta potty placement guide covers ground surface and clearance needs in more depth, but the short version for a set: keep units on level, stable ground per ADA Standards 302.1 if any accessible unit is on site, and leave the standard 44 by 48 inch footprint plus swing room for the door. If a roll-off dumpster rental or construction dumpster rental is also on site for set-build debris, keep it a separate zone from restrooms and craft services, since OSHA 1926.25 housekeeping rules expect debris cleared from active work areas anyway. Sets with lead actors or accessibility needs should plan for at least one ADA-compliant unit per ADA Standards 213.2, which requires 5 percent of clustered single-user toilets be accessible, with a minimum of one regardless of total count. Productions running generators for lighting and a portable generator rental film setup should coordinate power routing with restroom placement early, since cable runs and trailer hookups both need clear paths, and a temporary power pole or light tower rental often shares the same staging area. For night shoots, OSHA 1926.56(a) sets minimum illumination levels worth checking against your lighting plan near the restroom zone.
Cost depends mostly on unit type and how many days you're on location, and Commerce City Porta Pros prices by the day, week, or event block since production schedules rarely fit a standard weekly rental.
| unit | day | week | event |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | $100 - $350 | $130 - $500 | $200 - $800 |
| ada | $200 - $400 | $240 - $400 | -- |
| trailer | $175 - $2,500 | $1,650 - $2,500 | $2,499 - $3,899 |
A single standard unit for a one-day commercial shoot sits at the low end of that range, while a multi-week feature with a full trailer setup runs closer to the event pricing. Delivery fees run separately, typically $100 to $500 for a one-time trip depending on distance and access. For exact figures tied to your shoot length, the porta potty rental cost and restroom trailer rental cost pages break down day, week, and month pricing further. Productions based near Brighton, about 9.5 miles north of Commerce City, or filming out toward Derby, 9.0 miles southwest, still fall inside our normal delivery radius, so location scouting in either direction shouldn't change the quote much. If your production also needs secure gear storage between shoot days, a storage container rental or mobile office trailer rental can be delivered alongside the restrooms on the same trip.
Yes. Call sheets change fast, and Commerce City Porta Pros keeps units available for short-notice delivery when a location falls through. Check emergency porta potty rental for turnaround details, since same-day availability depends on how many units your new call sheet requires.
Yes, we deliver to farms, ranches, and rural sets. If your shoot needs handwashing stations too, review handwashing requirements for what OSHA expects on remote sets with hand-labor crews.
A 2 stall restroom trailer suits a crew under 20, while an 8 stall restroom trailer handles larger crews spread across departments. Match trailer size to your daily headcount, not total cast and crew on the call sheet.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery. See porta potty permit requirements for what to check before your shoot date is locked.
Yes. A shower trailer rental works well for extended location shoots where cast and crew are staying on or near set for multiple weeks.
