What is an ADA porta potty rental?
An ADA porta potty rental is the phrase people search for a wheelchair-accessible portable toilet. Our reference model, the PolyJohn Comfort XL, is 62 inches wide and 62 inches long, with a ground-level floor, a 32-inch-wide door opening, handrails and more than 16 square feet of floor inside.

What makes it different from a standard unit
- Floor sits at ground level, so a wheelchair rolls straight in
- Door opening is 32 inches wide
- Handrails beside the seat
- More than 16 square feet of floor to turn and move
- Same seat, paper and sanitizer as a standard unit
The tank holds 33 gallons, smaller than a standard unit's 60. Long events with heavy use may need service sooner.
How many handicap porta potties does the ADA call for?
The 2010 ADA Standards §213.2 call for at least 5% of portable toilet units in each cluster to be accessible, with a minimum of 1 per cluster. Accessible units also need a 60-inch diameter turning space under §304. Confirm your count with your permit office or venue, since this page is not legal advice.
| Units in the cluster | Legal minimum accessible | Our recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| 1–20 | 1 | 1, placed at the end nearest seating |
| 21–40 | 2 | 2, one at each end |
| 41–60 | 3 | 3, plus one by any separate food area |
| Separate clusters | 1 per cluster, minimum | Count each cluster on its own |

Legal minimum and our recommendation are different things. The minimum is what the ADA Standards set. Our recommendation is how we place units so guests can reach them. Your permit office or venue decides what your event needs.
Where should a wheelchair-accessible portable toilet be placed?
Place a wheelchair-accessible portable toilet on firm, level ground with a smooth path from parking and seating to the door. Pavement, packed gravel and short, dry lawn work. The unit needs about 66 inches of gate width for delivery and must sit within about 25 feet of where the service truck parks.
Keep curbs, cords and soft mulch off the route. Leave the area in front of the door open so a wheelchair can turn and roll in. At festivals, place an accessible unit in every cluster rather than one at the far end. See the festival porta potty page for cluster layouts.
Can I rent a wheelchair-accessible unit for a jobsite?
A wheelchair-accessible unit rents on the same 28-day plan as a standard jobsite unit, with a typical starting price of $225 per 28 days before tax. Weekly service is included: pump-out, cleaning, deodorizer, paper and sanitizer. Contractors add one for a crew member who needs it, inspectors or a public-facing site.
The OSHA toilet count for crews is in 29 CFR 1926.51. The accessible unit can count toward that number. Read construction site toilets for crew sizing and long-term rentals for 28-day billing.
When is a wheelchair-accessible unit the wrong choice?
A wheelchair-accessible unit is the wrong choice as the only toilet for a large group, since it serves one person at a time and holds 33 gallons. It also struggles on steep or soft ground. Pair it with standard units for the crowd, and pick a firm, level spot close to the truck route.
- Standard porta potty
Covers the crowd; the accessible unit covers guests who need it.
- Handwashing station
Add one near food and the toilet cluster.
- Party and special event rentals
Unit mixes for graduations and reunions.

Wheelchair-accessible unit questions
If somebody's in a wheelchair, can they use the porta potty?
A standard porta potty is too tight for a wheelchair, so book a wheelchair-accessible unit. It has a ground-level roll-in floor, a door opening 32 inches wide, handrails and more than 16 square feet of floor. The typical starting price is $225 per event before tax; your itemized quote is final.
How many accessible porta potties does my event need?
The 2010 ADA Standards §213.2 call for at least 5% of portable units in each cluster to be accessible, with a minimum of 1. A cluster of up to 20 units needs 1, and a cluster of 21 to 40 needs 2. Confirm the count with your permit office or venue.
Does the wheelchair-accessible unit meet ADA rules for my event?
The manufacturer describes the PolyJohn Comfort XL as wheelchair accessible. Your event's ADA status also depends on the unit count, the route to the door and the space around it. Your permit office or venue makes that call, and this page is not legal advice.
Can a handicap porta potty go in my backyard?
A wheelchair-accessible unit is 62 inches wide, so the gate needs to be about 66 inches wide with a level path behind it. The spot must also be within about 25 feet of where our service truck can park. A driveway or patio near the house is often the easier spot.
Do construction sites need a wheelchair-accessible porta potty?
The OSHA jobsite table in 29 CFR 1926.51 counts toilets by crew size. Many contractors still add one accessible unit for a worker who needs it, an inspector or a public-facing site. It typically starts at $225 per 28 days with weekly service included, before tax. Confirm site rules with your general contractor.
Where should the accessible unit go at an event?
Put the accessible unit at the end of the row, on firm, level ground, with a smooth route from parking and seating. Avoid soft grass, gravel ruts and curbs on the way. Keep the area in front of the door clear so a wheelchair can turn and line up with the opening.
