ADA units in Reno generally cost 1.5 to 2 times a standard unit, mostly because they are larger and fewer fit per trailer. Sanitation planned, placed, and serviced — including wind-exposed Damonte Ranch pads and tight Midtown District curb space.
| Unit type | Interior footprint / entry | Typical single event day | Typical 28-day rental, weekly service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard portable toilet | About 44" x 48", stepped entry | $125–$225 | $150–$275 |
| ADA-accessible (wheelchair) unit | About 60" x 60" clear floor, ground-level ramped entry, 36"+ door, grab bars | $175–$350 | $250–$450 |
| ADA unit with hand-wash station added | Same footprint, station set beside unit on the accessible route | $225–$425 | $300–$525 |
| Extra pump-out between scheduled services | Applies to either unit type | $45–$95 per visit | $45–$95 per visit |
| Outlying delivery (Verdi–Mogul, Tahoe grades, remote desert staging) | Fewer ADA units per trailer load | Added mileage line item | Added mileage line item |
Standard vs. ADA-accessible portable toilet: typical Reno–Sparks ballpark ranges (minimum charge $150)
The premium is physical, not administrative. An ADA unit holds a <strong>60-inch by 60-inch clear turning space</strong>, a ground-level entry instead of a step, a wider door, and interior grab bars, so the shell is roughly twice the floor area of a standard unit. Fewer ADA units fit on a delivery trailer, which raises the freight share of every drop. Expect roughly $175–$350 for a one-day Reno event and roughly $250–$450 for a 28-day construction rental with weekly service. These are market ballparks; the exact figure depends on unit count, service frequency, and how far the truck travels off the I-80 and US-395 corridors.
A quoted "rate" is rarely the invoice total. Four line items build the real number: unit rental for the term, delivery and placement, each scheduled service (pump-out, restock, sanitize), and final pickup. <strong>Minimum charge on any order is $150.</strong> Extras that commonly appear include additional mid-week pump-outs for high-traffic units, hand sanitizer or hand-wash stations, and mileage for outlying addresses. Asking for the count of included services before signing prevents the most common surprise on a monthly construction rental.
