Lexington Porta Pros delivers portable toilets, restroom trailers and dumpsters to Richmond, which sits 26.9 miles south of Lexington in about 33 minutes by car. Long-distance delivery adds cost, but we handle the route regularly and keep downtime short. Standard units rent from $150 per day, and service calls run $175 on average.
Distance from Lexington to Richmond means a delivery fee on top of your unit rental. A standard porta potty rental runs $150 per day, but you'll pay $100 to $150 extra just to get the unit there and back. Weekly rates work better for longer jobs: a standard porta potty costs around $200 per week, which spreads that trip cost thinner. Monthly rentals push the delivery into better proportion of your total spend too.
For events or short-term needs, the math shifts. A weekend rental of a standard unit lands near $250, plus delivery. If you're renting a restroom trailer instead, the haul is longer but the unit itself handles more users, so the per-person cost often works out. Restroom trailers in the $2,000 range per weekend sit alongside delivery of $125 to $200 for the weekend. Always call for a real quote: that 26.9-mile distance affects every rental differently depending on whether we're coming back the same day or parking the unit for a week.
Placement rules in Richmond differ from Lexington, and we can't confirm the specifics without checking with the city directly. Permits for portable toilets in the public right of way need confirming with Richmond city government. We know the rules change by location, and setting a unit on private property versus a public street or easement triggers different requirements. Before you book, tell us where the unit goes. We'll help you understand what the city requires, but you'll need to confirm with Richmond's planning or public works office. Many events and construction jobs need written approval before we can drop the unit.
The answer depends on how many people, how long they stay, and whether it's a one-time event or a multi-day setup. OSHA regulations for construction sites require 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, and 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up, per OSHA 1926.51(c)(1). Events in Richmond follow different rules, there's no federal standard for festivals, weddings or outdoor gatherings, but the principle holds: more people need more units, and longer events need service between days.
A wedding with 150 guests and a four-hour window usually needs 4 to 6 standard units. A three-day festival in Richmond with 500 people running all day needs double that, plus a restroom trailer if bathrooms matter for comfort. Construction work is simpler: count the crew, divide by 20, round up. Lexington Porta Pros has handled dozens of Richmond events and knows the sites around town. Call us with your headcount, location and hours, and we'll spec the right number. You can also read our guide to calculating porta potties for a deeper breakdown.
We make the 26.9-mile drive south to Richmond regularly, which means we know the access routes, the parking logistics, and the local contacts. Richmond's venues and construction sites get serviced fast because we're not making a first trip to figure out where things go. Lexington Porta Pros carries standard units, deluxe flushable toilets, ADA accessible porta potties, roll-off dumpsters, storage containers, temporary fencing, and restroom trailers for everything from a small renovation to a big event.
Our service areas stretch across the region, and Richmond falls squarely into our route. When you call Lexington Porta Pros, you're calling a company that understands both Lexington logistics and the towns around it, Richmond included.

Weekly minimum is the standard. We pull up once per week for routine cleaning and tank emptying, per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline service intervals. Longer events or hot weather may need twice-weekly visits. We can discuss that when you call.
Yes. Home renovation porta potties are common for contractors and DIY jobs. A standard unit works fine if it's just a crew of a few. Longer jobs rent cheaper by the week or month.
A deluxe unit has a flushing toilet, hand sanitizer dispenser, and interior lighting. A standard unit is simpler, pit-style, manual flush. Deluxe rents higher but feels more like a real bathroom for guests.
Yes. Weekend delivery to Richmond costs more, typically $125 to $200, because the drive falls outside a standard route day. Weekday delivery is cheaper if your timeline allows it.
