At Prime Dumpster, we provide porta potty rentals across 9 North Dakota cities, from Fargo and Grand Forks to Bismarck, Minot, Williston, and Dickinson. We supply units for construction sites, farm and ranch work, weddings, county fairs, hunting camps, and other events, along with emergency restrooms when spring flooding or a winter storm puts plumbing out of reach.
Your price is shaped by a few simple things. We look at how many units you need, which models, how long you'll keep them, how often we clean them, and how far our truck has to travel to your site.
Below, you'll see average prices, how to pick the right number of units, when a North Dakota permit comes up, and the state rules for food events and waste pumping.

What Factors Affect Your Porta Potty Rental Price?
One price covers bringing the units out, cleaning them on a schedule, and taking them back. Here's what raises or lowers that price: - Rental length: For a wedding or fair, you'll usually book a weekend, and one day tends to cost about the same. For a building project, rentals run in 28-day stretches and are billed that way. - Number of units: Every unit adds to the total. Order too few, though, and you'll face lines and tanks that fill up before the next visit. - Service visits: Our crew pumps the tank, cleans the inside, and puts in fresh paper and sanitizer each time. Busy sites and big events need more visits, and each visit costs a little more. - Delivery distance and site access: North Dakota is wide open, and some sites are a long drive from town. A unit near a plowed, paved road is quick to service. A spot down a muddy section line road or behind deep snow takes longer. - Unit type and add-ons: Standard units are the lowest-cost choice. Deluxe flushing units, sink units, solar units, restroom trailers, and extra handwashing stations cost more.
Two North Dakota points deserve a thought. Winter changes the job. Our truck needs a cleared path to each unit, so keep snow and ice off the drop spot all season. Next, food stands at your event will want a place to wash hands, and the state food program publishes guidance on setting one up. Adding a handwashing station close to the food area helps vendors and guests.
Your Prime Dumpster account manager can talk through each point and build a quote that fits your dates, your crowd, and your site.
Do I Need a Permit for a Porta Potty in North Dakota?
A porta potty on your own land or on private property you've been given permission to use, like a farmyard, backyard, or job site, usually doesn't need a permit. It's different once a unit goes on a street, sidewalk, park, or land along a highway. Then the group in charge of that ground has to sign off.
North Dakota doesn't have one statewide porta potty permit. Where your unit goes decides who you'll talk to:
- State and federal highways. The North Dakota Department of Transportation maintains more than 8,500 miles of roadway through eight district offices. Agreements to use land along those highways are handled by the district engineer, so start with the district office for your area.
- City streets and county roads. NDDOT doesn't maintain city or county roads. The city handles its own streets, sidewalks, and parks, and the county handles county roads.
- Special events. Fairs, parades, and street festivals usually need a city event permit, and restrooms are often part of the plan the city reviews.
- Food at your event. Each food stand needs a temporary food license, issued by a local public health agency or the state Food and Lodging program, depending on where the event is. Applications are due at least 10 days ahead.
A state highway often serves as the main street through a small town, so the exact drop spot matters. Your account manager can help you find the right office before your delivery date.
How Many Porta Potties Do I Need?
How many units you'll want depends on the number of people and the length of time they're on site. These numbers are a solid start: - Events: Allow 1 unit per 50 guests for an event lasting about four hours. When drinks are served, raise that by 15 to 20 percent. - Construction sites: The federal worker-safety standard calls for at least 1 toilet for 20 or fewer workers. For more than 20, it's 1 toilet and 1 urinal per 40 workers. - Accessible units: At a public event, plan at least 1 accessible unit in every group, about 1 out of every 20. - Emergencies: When crews are working flood or storm cleanup, plan 1 unit for every 10 people.
All-day events, summer heat, and big crowds use tank space faster than the base numbers show. Our porta potty calculator gives a quick first count, and your account manager will help you settle on the final number.
Porta Potty Rules and Requirements in North Dakota
The rules that shape a North Dakota rental fall into three areas: accessible units, food stand hygiene, and permitted waste pumping. - Accessible units: Federal accessibility standards apply at North Dakota events. When portable toilets are placed together for public use, the ADA standards require 5 percent of each group to be accessible, with at least one per group. Units for a construction crew only are exempt. - Food stands: The state defines a temporary food stand as one that runs no more than 14 days in a row at one location. Its temporary food service page points vendors to guidance on setting up a temporary handwashing station. A handwashing station from us, set near the food area, gives vendors an easy option. - Waste pumping: The North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality runs a septic pumper permit program that covers companies servicing portable restrooms. Under the state pumping rules, the waste must go to a DEQ-permitted wastewater treatment plant or to land approved under DEQ rules. Pumpers and their workers pass a state exam every year, and each company reports the disposal sites it used. - Job sites: Federal worker-safety rules require toilets for construction crews based on crew size. Keep units within a short walk of the work.
Whether it's a public event, a food festival, or a long build, your Prime Dumpster account manager can confirm which rules apply and set up your units to match.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a porta potty rental cost in North Dakota?
A standard porta potty averages $199–$349 per unit, and an ADA-compliant unit averages $200–$300. Deluxe units run $300–$400, and restroom trailers start at $1,500. Your final price depends on the number of units, how long you keep them, and the cleaning schedule. Your account manager confirms it in a free quote.
How many porta potties do I need for an event?
Begin with 1 unit per 50 guests for an event of about four hours. Serving alcohol? Add 15 to 20 percent. Longer events and hot summer days fill tanks sooner, so an extra unit or cleaning can help. Public events should always include at least one accessible unit.
Do I need a permit for a porta potty in North Dakota?
Not on private property in most cases. Land along a state highway falls to the NDDOT district office, while city streets and parks need city approval and county roads go through the county. Public events often need a city permit too. Your account manager can help you find the right office.
How often are porta potties serviced?
Most rentals get one service visit a week. The crew pumps the tank, cleans the unit, and restocks paper and sanitizer. Big crowds, large crews, and summer heat may call for more visits. Your account manager sets a schedule based on how busy your site will be.
Do I need an ADA-accessible porta potty?
If people from the public will use your units, yes. Federal accessibility standards call for about 5 percent of each group of portable toilets to be accessible, and at least one in every group. Units used only by a construction crew are exempt. Your account manager can help you plan the mix.
How far in advance should I book a porta potty in North Dakota?
For a job site, a few days' notice usually works, and we can often deliver within 24 to 48 hours. For summer weddings, county fairs, and harvest season events, book several weeks early. Food vendors should send their license applications at least 10 days before the event.
