Yes, Ontario Porta Pros builds restroom packages for film sets, from a single standard porta potty rental running $100 to $350 a day for a two-person crew to a full luxury restroom trailer for cast and above-the-line talent. Quiet units, clean interiors and delivery timed to call sheets matter more than anything else.
Depends on crew size and how long you're parked. A tight documentary crew of six might get by with one porta john rental and a handwashing station rental nearby. A commercial shoot with forty people, talent trailers and a catering tent needs more thought. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline for construction crews: one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, scaling up from there, and production crews on private lots generally follow the same logic even though a film set isn't a construction site in the legal sense. Most line producers in Ontario ask us to plan around that ratio anyway, because it keeps everyone moving between setups instead of standing in line.
For anything with public-facing talent or executives on set, a deluxe flushable porta potty or a 2 stall restroom trailer reads a lot better on a crew memo than a standard unit. If your production has ADA obligations, and many do once you're working with a city permit or a union crew, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires that at least 5 percent of clustered single-user units be accessible, with a minimum of one. We also spec those units to ADA Standards section 404.2.3, which sets a 32 inch minimum clear door opening, and section 304.3.1, which calls for a 60 inch turning circle inside. Our ADA accessible porta potty page covers the full spec if your production coordinator needs it in writing.
Generators come up constantly on film sets, and we get asked about portable generator rental film applications almost every week, usually paired with a light tower rental or a temporary power pole for a night shoot. We don't rent generators ourselves, but we coordinate delivery windows around whatever power vendor you've already booked, so trailers and generators land on set at the same time instead of creating a bottleneck at the gate.
Location shoots in Ontario usually run one of two ways: a single-day rental or a multi-week block while the production holds the lot. Here's what that looks like across unit types.
| Unit | Day | Week | Event |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard unit | $100 - $350 | $130 - $500 | $200 - $800 |
| ADA unit | $200 - $400 | $240 - $500 | - |
| Deluxe flushable | $85 - $1,200 | $150 - $290 | - |
| Restroom trailer | $175 - $2,500 | $1,400 - $1,650 | $2,499 - $3,899 |
A one-day car commercial and a six-week feature shoot don't price the same way, and a longer hold rarely costs less per day than a short one. Delivery adds a separate line, typically $100 to $500 for a single day or $50 to $150 for a week-long hold, depending on how far the truck has to travel and how tight the access is. Full breakdowns live on our porta potty rental cost and restroom trailer rental cost pages, and if your production runs long, check monthly porta potty rental rates before you commit to a week-by-week extension.
Placement depends on your lot, your parking plan and how far talent has to walk between video village and base camp. A standard unit needs a stable, level pad, and ADA Standards section 302.1 requires that surface to be firm and slip resistant, which matters on a gravel lot or a dirt backlot around Ontario. Access paths should hold to ADA Standards section 403.5.1, a 36 inch minimum clear width, so wheelchairs and equipment carts aren't fighting for the same lane. If your shoot needs city closures or you're setting units in a public right of way, that placement needs confirming with the city before trucks roll. Our porta potty placement guide and porta potty permit requirements pages walk through what to check before delivery day.
Ontario sits close enough to several backlots and industrial parks that crews often scout here specifically for the drive times: Eastvale is 6.8 miles south, Montclair is 7.4 miles northwest, and Upland is 8.3 miles northwest, so a unit delivered to an Ontario staging yard can reposition to a nearby location without a long haul. If your production also needs waste hauled off a dressed set, pair your restroom order with a roll-off dumpster rental, and if you're running a wardrobe or makeup tent that needs sink service, add a portable sink rental to the same delivery.
Two weeks out is comfortable for most Ontario shoots; rush and next-day orders happen, but unit selection narrows fast. If your dates are still moving, start with our request a quote page so we can hold inventory while the schedule firms up.
Yes, tell us the gate time and any escort requirements when you book. We coordinate delivery windows around lockups and background moves, the same way we'd sequence around a construction site services crew on a tight schedule.
Our luxury restroom trailer and 8 stall restroom trailer options include climate control. Ask about unit availability when you request a quote, since AC trailers book up first during peak summer production months.
Call us before the truck is scheduled to leave. Extending a rental already on set is simpler than a new delivery, and our contact page has direct lines for active jobs.
Yes, we cover Jurupa Valley 9.0 miles east and the other nearby cities listed on our service areas page. Tell us the exact location address and we will quote delivery accordingly.
