Transparent pricing
These are published market ranges for Georgia compiled from the sources listed below, not quotes from this site. Actual pricing depends on delivery distance from the servicing yard, service frequency, rental length, season, and site access. We publish ranges so you can sanity-check any quote you receive, including ours.
| Unit | Event / weekend | Per month | Service included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Construction unit on weekly service | Quoted per job | $135–$300 | Weekly servicing — emptying waste and cleaning the unit, as Georgia rule defines servicing |
Metro Atlanta pricing: Baseline. Dense routes and the deepest inventory in the state keep per-unit pricing at or below the statewide midpoint.
Add-on charges, extra service visits, per-mile delivery, generators, attendants, and post-pickup cleaning fees, are itemised in the construction site units cost guide. Ranges compiled 2026-08-21; next review 2026-11-19.

What that changes about the order: Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park is federal land — placements there run through the National Park Service, not the city or county. For construction site units specifically, Monthly billing cycles are the norm; most Georgia suppliers place units within 1-3 business days and invoice in 28-day or calendar-month terms.
Same metro heat and humidity profile as Atlanta is the factor that most often changes a service schedule here. Georgia rule defines servicing as emptying the waste and cleaning the unit, and in Metro Atlanta conditions the honest answer is often that a weekly interval is the floor, not the target.
Unit specifications
What comes on the unit
Verify any provider yourself: ask for their current Waste Removal and Disposal Permit, then confirm it with the state Environmental Health office at (404) 657-6534. The permit is issued annually by the county the company is based in and is valid statewide.
Sized to the rule
Commercial and mixed-use sites here run mid-size crews on long schedules. These are the counts Georgia rule produces, not a sales estimate.

Full construction sizing tableGeorgia rule 511-3-6
From Rules of the Georgia Department of Public Health, Chapter 511-3-6 — Portable Sanitation Contractors, quoted with citations.
“Each special event sponsor and construction site owner utilizing a portable sanitation unit must and show proof of a service contract with a certified portable sanitation company.”
511-3-6-.03(5)
Why it matters: This obligation sits on the customer, not just the vendor. If you sponsor an event or own a construction site in Georgia, you are the party who must be able to produce the contract.
“No person shall engage in the removal or disposal of the contents of a portable sanitation unit without having obtained a Waste Removal and Disposal Permit from the Health Authority for the county in which the business is based. The permit must be renewed annually, and shall be valid in every county throughout the State.”
511-3-6-.03(2)
Why it matters: The permit is issued by the county where the company is based but is valid statewide — so an Atlanta-permitted hauler can legally service a job in Savannah. Ask for the permit, not for a local address.
In Cobb County, the Health Authority issuing those permits is Cobb & Douglas Public Health. The state Environmental Health office can confirm a company’s standing at (404) 657-6534.

How it works
Tell us the job
Unit type, the Marietta delivery address or cross streets, dates, and either your crew size or your peak crowd. That is enough to size the order against the Georgia tables.
We size it against the rule
Construction jobs go through OSHA Table 1 as Georgia adopts it. Events go through Table 2, including the sewered-toilet subtraction and the 25% alcohol adjustment.
We route it to a certified company
The job goes to a portable sanitation company holding a current Waste Removal and Disposal Permit recognised by Cobb & Douglas Public Health. That permit is issued by the county where the company is based and is valid statewide.
You get the quote in writing
Written quote within 24 hours of a weekday request, or a same-day callback when you call before 3pm Eastern. Quoted pricing is held for 14 days from the date issued. If the delivered price would differ from the quote, we tell you why before you commit.
Delivery, service, pickup
Placement is confirmed against truck access, and on events against the rule that units stay accessible for maintenance by truck at all times. Service intervals are set before delivery, not after.
Why trust this quote
Published pricing, with sources
Every range on this site links to where it came from and carries a review date. If a quote lands outside the published range, ask why. That is the point of publishing it.
Certification we can point you to
Georgia certifies portable sanitation contractors and companies through DPH. You can verify any provider's standing independently by calling the state Environmental Health office at (404) 657-6534.
Frequently asked questions
The same Georgia table applies statewide: one toilet per 20 workers up to 20, one additional per 40 workers above that, one additional per 50 past 200 workers, and double the total if shifts exceed eight hours. A 25-person East Cobb crew on regular shifts needs 2 units; the same crew on ten-hour days needs 4.
The unit type is usually the same standard chemical toilet; what differs is placement and duration. East Cobb residential redevelopment tends toward small crews on individual lots with easy driveway access and shorter terms, whereas commercial work concentrates larger crews on one site for months. Multi-unit drops on a single site lower the per-unit price meaningfully.
Georgia's Appendix Table 1 assumes weekly servicing at the stated unit counts, and in a metro Atlanta July that is realistically the floor rather than the target. Sites with high headcount per unit, extended shifts, or units in direct sun commonly move to twice-weekly. Remember that units in an unsanitary condition do not count toward the OSHA minimum at all.
Georgia regulates portable hand washing fixtures under the same chapter as the toilets, including potable water, Do Not Drink labelling, and soap and towel supply adequate for the full interval between services. Whether one is mandatory on your specific site depends on the work performed and applicable OSHA sanitation provisions, so confirm with your safety lead and Cobb & Douglas Public Health.
