Key facts

- Cancel free up to 24 hours before delivery.
Can I rent a porta potty for just one day?
Yes, but it is priced per event, not per day, so one day costs the same as a Friday-to-Monday weekend. One caller asked about a one-day price and learned the whole weekend was $299 — so the unit could arrive early and nobody waited on a same-day truck.
“What's a one-day rental, how much is that?”
When is a 28-day rental cheaper than short-term?
Once a job runs past about a week, the 28-day cycle with weekly cleaning is cheaper than weekly rates, because delivery and pickup happen either way. A homeowner with a 4–6 week bathroom remodel pays for two cycles and calls for pickup the day the crew leaves.
Straight answers
Questions callers asked us
Do you rent porta potties by the day?
No — event rentals are priced per event, not per day. Eric Rental Works drops the unit off Friday (or Thursday on busy weekends) and picks it up Monday for the same price as one day. A Saturday birthday or a Sunday carne asada costs the same whether the unit stays one day or four.
Do I have to pay for a full month if I only need it two weeks?
Usually yes, and it is the cheaper option. Jobsite units bill in 28-day cycles with weekly cleaning included. A weekly rate costs more per day because the delivery and pickup trips still happen. Call for pickup the day the work ends and billing stops that day.
Can I cancel if something happens?
Yes. Cancel up to 24 hours before scheduled delivery for a full refund — bad weather, a change of plans, anything. Cancellations within 24 hours of delivery are not refundable, because the truck and unit are already committed.
Do you deliver on weekends?
Saturday deliveries run when routes allow, but most weekend events are delivered Thursday or Friday and picked up Monday at no extra cost. The office is closed on Sundays. Holiday weekends (Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day) fill first, so book those at least a week ahead.
