Production budgets need restrooms that do not show up in frame. Rock Hill Porta Pros sets up deluxe flushable units and restroom trailers at production offices, base camps and location sets, with deluxe day rates starting around $85. Quiet generators, tucked placement, quick teardown.
Depends on the shoot. A single day of exteriors with a small crew might just need one or two standard units, priced from $100 a day. Multi-week shoots at a fixed base camp usually call for a restroom trailer, because cast and crew want something closer to a real bathroom between takes. A 2 stall restroom trailer handles a lean crew; an 8 stall restroom trailer covers a full union call with extras. Trailer rentals run from $175 a day up to event-length bookings near $3,500, depending on stall count and how long you hold it. For overnight base camp needs, a luxury restroom trailer keeps talent and department heads comfortable without hunting for a hotel between scenes.
If the production involves any painting, weathering effects, or set dressing with coatings, herbicides, or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for anyone handling those materials. That is separate from general crew sanitation, which falls under OSHA 1926.51(c) and scales by headcount. A handwashing station rental or a simple portable sink rental covers both needs without complicating the unit count. Crews doing FX work, prop aging or scenic paint should plan for this before crew call, not after.
Crew size drives the math, and OSHA 1926.51(c) is the baseline: one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers as headcount climbs into that range, and one per 50 once you clear 200. A 30-person indie crew in Rock Hill can usually run on two to three standard porta potty rentals plus a wash station. A studio-scale shoot with 150 crew, background talent and vendor trucks needs a real plan, not a guess, and our how many porta potties do I need guide walks through the ratios in more detail.
Accessibility matters too, especially with talent, guests or visiting execs on set. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires that where single-user units are clustered, at least 5 percent be accessible, with a minimum of one unit regardless of cluster size. Our ADA accessible porta potty units meet that standard with a 60 inch turning circle inside, per ADA Standards 304.3.1, and a door width sized to code. Check our ADA restroom requirements page if the production is unionized or has an accessibility coordinator asking questions.
Power is often the forgotten line item. Restroom trailers with interior lighting and pumps need a source, and many productions are already running a portable generator rental film crews depend on for lighting and camera village. We can coordinate delivery timing so the temporary power pole or generator setup lands before the restroom trailer does, not after.
Placement depends on the lot, the neighborhood, and how close you are to a residential street or a city right of way. Productions filming near India Hook, about 6.8 miles north of Rock Hill, or out toward Fort Mill, 8.3 miles northeast, often deal with different site conditions than a downtown Rock Hill block. Our porta potty placement guide covers ground stability, ADA Standards 302.1 on firm and slip-resistant surfaces, and clearance needs.
If a unit or trailer sits in the public right of way, that placement needs confirming with the city before delivery day. We do not guess at that call. Our porta potty permit requirements page explains what to check before you lock a location, and our office can help coordinate with whoever the production's location manager is already talking to. Roll-off delivery for set construction debris needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so base camp layout should account for that if a roll-off dumpster rental is part of the build.
Need temporary fence rental around a set piece, or a storage container rental for wardrobe and equipment? We coordinate all of it under one delivery schedule so your locations team is not juggling five vendors. For weekend shoots, a standard unit weekend rate is generally lighter than a full week hold, worth factoring into a tight two-day schedule.
Two weeks is comfortable for most shoots; less for emergencies. Trailer availability tightens fastest, especially multi-stall units. If your shoot date is locked, request a quote early so delivery and placement get sorted before crew call.
Some smaller trailers run off shore power if the location has it. Most base camp trailers need dedicated power. Confirm with our office when you book, and line up power delivery alongside the restroom trailer rental itself.
Yes, if units are clustered, ADA Standards 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit regardless of total count. Small crews are not exempt. It is cheaper to plan this in than to scramble later.
Call our office. We handle emergency porta potty rental for productions with a location swap, though trailer relocations take more lead time than single units.
It depends entirely on unit type, crew size and shoot length. Check restroom trailer rental cost or porta potty rental cost for detailed pricing, or just call with your shoot dates.
