"Porta john" is just the old-school word for what most people now call a portable toilet rental or porta potty rental. Same unit, same tank, different generation of customer asking for it. If you grew up calling it a porta john, we still know exactly what you mean when you call, whether you're in Cheyenne proper or checking our service areas page for a nearby town.
What Does a Porta John Rental Include in Cheyenne?
A standard unit ships with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank and stands about 92 inches tall on a 44 by 48 inch footprint, so it fits in a driveway, a job site corner, or a fenced lot without eating much space. That's the workhorse unit for construction site services around Cheyenne, from small remodel crews to multi-week builds, and it's the same unit covered on our standard porta potty rental page.
Delivery and pickup are quoted separately from the unit itself, and delivery fees run $100 to $500 depending on distance and how many stops we make that day. If your site sits out toward Warren AFB, about 5.0 miles west of town, or up near Ranchettes, 9.2 miles north, tell us when you call so we can route the truck efficiently. Service follows the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline of one cleaning visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, though busier sites need more frequent stops. Want the flushable option instead? Look at our deluxe flushable porta potty page before you book, or check portable restroom rental if you need a broader comparison of unit types.
Porta John Rental Price and Rates in Cheyenne
Rates depend on unit type, how long you're renting, and whether you need extras like an ADA stall or a handwashing station. Here's how the numbers break down for a standard unit:
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $100 | $150 | $350 |
| Week | $130 | $200 | $500 |
| Month | $125 | $200 | $325 |
| Weekend | $125 | $250 | $400 |
| Event | $200 | $400 | $800 |
If you're weighing weekly versus monthly, our monthly porta potty rental page walks through when the longer term actually saves money. For a single-day pull, check porta potty rental per day instead. Deluxe flushable units run $85 to $1,200 a day and $150 to $290 a week, a wider band because "luxury porta john rental" covers everything from a single flush unit to a full trailer setup. Curious what drives the spread across every unit type? The full porta potty rental cost breakdown covers it, and our restroom trailer rental cost page covers the larger trailer options if a single unit won't cut it.
How Many Porta Johns Does My Cheyenne Job Site Need?
OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline for construction crews: one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers once you pass 20, scaling to one per 50 workers at 200 or more. That's the number inspectors check, so it's worth getting right before the crew shows up Monday. If you're running an office trailer on site too, note that 1910.141(c)(1)(i) covers general industry ratios differently, so don't mix the two standards.
Our how many porta potties do I need guide runs the math for you, and the fuller OSHA portable toilet requirements page covers the underlying rule in more detail. Agricultural operations follow a separate rule, OSHA 1928.110, which requires one facility per 20 hand-labor employees, reachable within a quarter mile walk. That matters if your crew is spread across a field rather than clustered around a single building pad, a point covered further on our farm and agricultural restrooms page. For events instead of job sites, see event restroom rental for headcount guidance built around guests, not workers, or wedding restroom rental if you're planning something more formal.
Do I Need an ADA-Accessible Porta John in Cheyenne?
If you're clustering multiple units on one site, ADA Standards 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of them to be accessible, and never fewer than one. That single accessible unit needs a 60 inch turning circle inside per ADA 304.3.1, a door opening at least 32 inches wide per ADA 404.2.3, and a clear approach route at least 36 inches wide per ADA 403.5.1.
Most job sites with a handful of standard units still need that one accessible stall, and event organizers in Cheyenne almost always need it regardless of guest count. ADA units run $200 to $400 a day or $120 to $240 a week, priced a bit above standard because of the larger footprint and grab bars inside. See ADA accessible porta potty for the unit specs, or ADA restroom requirements for the full standard. Pair it with a handwashing station rental if your crew works with paints, coatings or solvents, since OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities specifically for that kind of contaminant exposure, and our portable sink rental page covers the sink-style alternative.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a porta john and a porta potty?
Nothing, really. "Porta john" is an older regional term, more common in some markets than others, but it describes the exact same unit as a standard porta potty rental. Cheyenne Porta Pros uses both terms so customers find what they're looking for either way, whether they land on this page or on porta potty rental in Cheyenne directly.
Can I rent just one porta john for a weekend?
Yes. Single-unit weekend rentals are common for backyard parties and small gatherings around Cheyenne. Standard units run $125 to $400 for a weekend rental, and delivery gets scheduled around your event start time so it's ready before guests arrive; if you need something nicer for a backyard event, look at luxury restroom trailer options instead.
How often does a rented porta john get serviced?
The industry baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 is one cleaning visit per week for up to 10 users across a standard 40 hour week. High-traffic events or larger crews typically need two or three visits weekly, which we schedule when you book.
Does porta john rental pricing vary by city, like Chicago or NJ?
Yes, regional pricing varies with labor, disposal costs and local demand, so a porta john rental in Chicago or NJ won't match Cheyenne rates exactly. Local delivery distance also plays into it, whether your site is in town or out near Hillsdale, 21.9 miles east.
What's included in the delivery fee?
Delivery fees cover drop-off, pickup and the driving distance to your site, and they run $100 to $500 for a single stop depending on location. Sites near Fox Farm-College or South Greeley, both under 4 miles from central Cheyenne, typically fall toward the lower end of that range.
