Yes, North Stamford Porta Pros rents restroom trailers and standard units to film crews working anywhere in North Stamford, with trailer rates from about 800 dollars a day and standard units from 100 dollars a day. Most productions need power, water and a quiet unit that stays off camera.
Crews want restrooms that don't show up in a wide shot and don't smell like a job site by lunch. That rules out a lone standard porta potty rental parked next to base camp for most union productions, though it still works fine for a low-budget short or a background holding area. For talent, producers and department heads, a restroom trailer rental with real fixtures reads as a green room amenity, not a job site necessity. A 2 stall restroom trailer covers a small crew for a day of exteriors around North Stamford. Bigger union calls or multi-day shoots do better with a 4 stall restroom trailer or an 8 stall restroom trailer, especially when cast and crew are on different call sheets and you don't want a line forming near set. If the location has a wardrobe or makeup truck already running, ask about a shower trailer too, since a shower trailer rental handles stunt work, prosthetics removal or a dusty exterior day without sending anyone home early. For a period piece or a high-end commercial, a luxury restroom trailer keeps the unit presentable if a client or agency rep is standing nearby. Every trailer needs an ADA-compliant option on set when crew or guests require it: ADA Standards section 213.2 requires that where single-user units are clustered, at least 5 percent, and never fewer than one, must be accessible, so we always spec at least one ADA accessible porta potty alongside the trailer. Placement matters as much as unit choice. A location scout should walk the porta potty placement guide before crews arrive, checking for level ground, sightlines and a hookup for a portable generator rental film crews often bring in for lighting and sound, since restroom trailers with flushing fixtures and interior lighting usually need that same power source nearby.
Film budgets move fast, so here's what the unit rates actually look like before adding delivery.
| unit | day | week |
|---|---|---|
| standard | 100 to 350 | 130 to 500 |
| deluxe | 85 to 1200 | 150 to 290 |
| ada | 200 to 400 | 120 to 240 |
| trailer | 175 to 2500 | 150 to 1650 |
A single-day exterior shoot usually runs standard or deluxe units on a day rate, while a multi-week production filming around North Stamford locks in a trailer on the week rate instead, which works out cheaper per day than renting daily. Delivery runs separately, and a roll-off truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance to set a trailer or dumpster, so give the location team that measurement before the truck shows up. Full pricing detail, including delivery fee ranges, lives on the porta potty rental cost page, and productions running more than a few days should check the monthly porta potty rental page before committing to a week-by-week rate. If your shoot needs a generator, temporary lighting or a fenced perimeter around equipment, those come from the same site services list as restrooms, alongside a light tower rental or a temporary power pole for night shoots.
That depends on where the trailer sits and how long it stays, and it needs confirming with the city before delivery day. Placement in a public right of way, a park, or near a landmark location in North Stamford is not something we verify by memory, so check with the town before locking a location agreement. The porta potty permit requirements page walks through what to ask and who to ask it of. Once the location is cleared, standard OSHA rules still apply to the crew: OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets toilet counts at one facility for 20 workers or fewer, scaling up from there, and OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) requires potable water on site, which matters for wardrobe, makeup and craft services trailers as much as for restrooms. If the shoot involves any painting, weathering effects, or set dressing with coatings or solvents, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that contaminant exposure specifically, so a handwashing station rental belongs near the paint or effects table, not just near the restrooms. Crews working near Norwalk, about 10.8 miles east, or White Plains, 18.1 miles west, sometimes split units between two nearby locations on the same production; that's a scheduling question for us, not a permit one. For overnight shoots or weekend blocks, see the event restroom rental page for how weekend pricing differs from a day rate.
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) calls for one toilet facility for crews of 20 or fewer, with an added toilet seat and urinal once you cross 20 workers. A 30-person crew needs at least two facilities, plus one ADA-compliant unit under ADA Standards section 213.2.
Yes. Most flushing trailers need power for lighting, water pumps and climate control, and productions already running a portable generator rental for film equipment can usually tie the trailer into the same source. Confirm amperage needs when you book.
Book as early as the location is locked, especially for multi-day shoots. Weekend and single-day bookings move fast during busy filming seasons, and trailer availability tightens closer to the date.
Most do, though many units also run from an onboard freshwater tank for short shoots. Ask when booking whether your location has a spigot nearby or whether the trailer needs to run self-contained for the day.
Call us before the truck loads. Moving a scheduled delivery to a new North Stamford address is usually manageable with enough notice, but drive time and clearance for a 60-foot straight approach need checking at the new site first.
