Film crews in Bartlett rent portable toilets, deluxe flushable units, or a full restroom trailer depending on cast and crew size. A standard unit runs 100 to 350 dollars a day, and most productions add a handwashing station for the crew tent. Turnaround is usually same-day or next-day for local shoots.
Production sanitation depends on headcount and how long you're on location. A small crew shooting for a day or two does fine with a couple of standard porta potty rental units and a handwashing station rental near catering. Bigger productions with cast trailers, extras, and a full crew often step up to a deluxe flushable porta potty for talent, or bring in a restroom trailer rental with private stalls and running water. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline ratio for job sites: one toilet for every 20 workers, scaling up as crew size grows. Film sets aren't construction sites, but location managers use the same math to figure out unit counts. If you're not sure how many you need, our porta potty rental checklist and the how many porta potties do I need guide walk through crew size, shoot length, and setback distances. Talent trailers usually pair with a luxury restroom trailer rather than a standard unit, and most productions also bring in a portable generator rental film setup or a light tower for night shoots, since Bartlett locations rarely have permanent power hookups on site. A 2 stall or 4 stall restroom trailer covers mid-size crews without crowding a tight lot.
Pricing depends on unit type and how many days you're on location. A single standard unit runs 200 to 800 dollars for event-length bookings, while a full restroom trailer for a multi-day shoot lands higher. Delivery adds a flat fee on top, and most productions budget for both.
| Unit | Day | Week | Event |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard toilet | 100-350 | 130-500 | 200-800 |
| Deluxe flushable | 85-1200 | 150-290 | -- |
| Restroom trailer | 175-2500 | 150-1650 | 2499-3899 |
| ADA unit | 200-400 | 120-240 | -- |
| Delivery fee | 100-500 | 50-150 | -- |
Check the restroom trailer rental cost page for stall-count breakdowns, or the general porta potty rental cost page if you're comparing standard units against trailers. Multi-week shoots often do better on a monthly porta potty rental rate than paying day rates stacked back to back. Bartlett Porta Pros quotes delivery separately since drive time and access at the location both factor in.
Placement depends on ground access and how far the truck can back in. A roll-off or restroom trailer delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so parking lots and open fields work better than tight alleys. Standard units measure about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stand roughly 92 inches tall, small enough to tuck against a building or fence line without blocking crew paths. ADA Standards section 403.5.1 requires a 36 inch clear route to any accessible unit, and section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster of single-user toilets, which matters if talent or crew need ADA access. Bartlett Porta Pros services shoots across Bartlett and nearby towns, including locations up to 6.4 miles east in Lakeland and 13.1 miles south in Germantown, without a change in base delivery pricing for most local routes. If placement on a public street or right-of-way comes up, that needs confirming with the City of Bartlett before delivery day; check our porta potty permit requirements and porta potty placement guide pages for what to ask about. For crowd or vehicle control around base camp, a temporary fence rental or crowd control barrier rental keeps foot traffic away from equipment trucks and generator cable runs.
Yes, if the shoot has cast, crew, or extras who need accessible facilities. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster of portable toilets. See ADA accessible porta potty and ADA restroom requirements for door width and clearance specs.
Same-day or next-day delivery is usually possible for standard units and handwashing stations. Restroom trailers need more lead time because of stall count and hookup. Call ahead once your shoot date and location are locked, especially for weekend bookings. See emergency porta potty rental for rush options.
Yes, film crews commonly pair a portable generator rental with restroom trailers or lighting on locations without permanent power. Pair it with a light tower rental for night shoots or a temporary power pole for longer builds. Ask about load needs when you request a quote.
A 2 stall or 4 stall trailer usually covers crews of 20 to 50 without long lines. Larger productions with extras often step up to an 8 stall restroom trailer. Match stall count to peak headcount, not average crew size, since breaks bunch everyone at once.
Yes, most restroom trailers include a sink, but standard porta potties don't. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand-drying device at washing stations; hand sanitizer alone doesn't meet that. Add a portable sink rental near catering or crew tents for a cleaner setup.
