Yes, Lexington Porta Pros sets up restroom trailers and portable toilets for film shoots on any timeline, including single-day calls booked with a few hours notice. A standard unit rents from $100 to $350 a day, and a restroom trailer runs $175 to $2,500 a day depending on size and finish.
Production schedules do not run on a normal rental clock, and restroom trailer rental options here are built for that. A 2 stall restroom trailer covers a small crew and a tight courtyard location. Bigger union calls with cast trailers and craft services usually want a 4 stall restroom trailer or the 8 stall restroom trailer for background talent moving in waves between setups. If the shoot is a period piece or a client-facing commercial, ask about the luxury restroom trailer, which keeps finishes clean of visible branding and works well when the trailer sits near base camp on camera.
Standalone units still have a place on set, usually staged out of frame near crew parking. A standard porta potty rental holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank and stands about 92 inches tall, so location scouts need to check clearance under low tree cover or parking garage entries before delivery. For talent and department heads, a deluxe flushable porta potty gives a flush unit without the footprint of a full trailer. Every set with public-facing extras or ADA needs on the call sheet should include an ADA accessible porta potty; ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster of single-user toilets, and never fewer than one regardless of headcount. If the production also needs a portable generator rental film setup to run lighting and trailer AC off the same footprint, coordinate that with your electric department before delivery day.
Crew size and call time drive the count more than genre or budget. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline for worksites: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers up to 200. A commercial shoot with 15 crew and no extras often gets by with two standard porta potty rental units and one hand station. A feature with 80 background actors, camera, grip, electric and craft services crosses into the next OSHA bracket and usually needs a trailer plus satellite units near holding.
Water access matters too. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) requires potable water at any place of employment, and 29 CFR 1910.141(d)2) requires soap and towels or a hand-drying device at washing stations, not just sanitizer. A handwashing station rental or portable sink rental satisfies that near craft services and makeup. If the art department is spraying finishes, staining set pieces or using aerosol paints, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that contact, separate from general crew sanitation. Run the math with how many porta potties do I need before you lock the call sheet, and keep OSHA portable toilet requirements handy for the AD to reference if a union rep asks.
Placement depends on the location agreement and what the property allows, and Lexington Porta Pros works around fencing, cable runs and camera sightlines rather than a fixed layout. A roll-off clearance of about 60 feet of straight truck access applies to dumpster drop-offs too, which matters if the production is also renting a roll-off dumpster rental for set strike. Downtown Lexington locations with narrow alleys or tight parking often need units staged a block off set and walked in, so scout early. Locations near Nicholasville, about 15.3 miles southwest, or Versailles, 15.7 miles west, sometimes have easier truck access and lower delivery fees than tight downtown blocks.
Ground surface matters for both safety and ADA compliance. ADA Standards section 302.1 requires stable, firm, slip-resistant surfaces, and section 405.2 caps ramp slope at 1:12, so gravel lots or sloped pasture locations need matting or leveling before an ADA unit goes down. Confirm placement on public streets or sidewalks with the city before delivery, since right-of-way rules for Lexington are not something to guess at; check porta potty permit requirements and read the porta potty placement guide with your location manager. For long-running productions, a storage container rental or mobile office trailer rental can sit alongside the restroom trailer as a combined base camp footprint, and temporary fence rental keeps the public out of a working set between takes.
Same-day and next-day delivery is often possible depending on the unit and current schedule; call and ask what is available now. For truly urgent calls, the emergency porta potty rental line handles rush requests, though trailer availability tightens faster than standard units.
Yes if you have any public-facing extras, clients or crew who need one. ADA Standards 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster, with no minimum headcount exemption. Budget the ADA accessible porta potty into the base camp layout from the start.
Weekend trailer rates run roughly $900 to $3,000 depending on size and finish, separate from delivery fees. See restroom trailer rental cost for how that breaks down by stall count and duration.
Yes, that is common on moving-location shoots. Coordinate moves with dispatch in advance since relocation is scheduled separately from the original delivery, and confirm new site access, including the 60-foot clearance trailers need to reposition.
Yes, near craft services and makeup at minimum. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels, not sanitizer alone, so a hand sanitizer station rental does not substitute for a real handwashing station.
