SmartChoice Potty SolutionsSmartChoice Potty SolutionsExpect roughly $130–$225 per standard unit per month in Bexar County, plus delivery and pickup, with a $150 order minimum. Our San Antonio crew hauls, sets and services the units — from Alamo Ranch pads to Government Hill infill lots — so nobody on your crew touches them.

Monthly construction portable toilet rental — typical Bexar County ballparks (confirmed on a free site visit)
Two line items drive the monthly price: the unit rental itself and the servicing frequency. A standard construction unit on a 28-day cycle with one weekly pump-out, sanitize and paper restock is the baseline most Bexar County contractors book, and that package typically lands between $130 and $200 per month. Delivery and pickup are one-time charges quoted separately, commonly $50 to $125 round trip depending on how far the truck runs past Loop 1604. Long-term jobs of three months or more usually price at the lower end of the range because the delivery cost is spread across more cycles. The minimum charge on any order is $150. Nothing about extra servicing, relocations or long-term fees should surface after the fact — those numbers belong on the quote before the unit leaves the yard.
OSHA's construction sanitation rule (29 CFR 1926.51) requires one toilet facility for a jobsite with 20 or fewer workers. Above 20 workers, the standard moves to one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers. Practical sizing on San Antonio sites: one standard unit per 10 workers per week keeps units usable between service visits, and framing or concrete crews running 25-plus people on a single pour usually justify a second unit rather than a second weekly service. That sizing math matters to the monthly number more than the per-unit rate does — two units serviced weekly beats one unit serviced twice and pumped past capacity. A quick crew count and shift schedule is enough to price it; see the full <a href="/construction-portable-toilet-rental-san-antonio/">construction portable toilet rental</a> options for multi-unit and multi-phase jobs.
San Antonio summers run stretches of 100-degree afternoons, and heat is what turns a serviced unit foul fast. Weekly servicing includes a full vacuum pump of the tank, fresh deodorizer charge, interior wash-down, and restock of tissue and sanitizer. On sites with 15 or more workers between June and September, twice-weekly service is the honest recommendation — it adds roughly $18 to $40 per extra visit and eliminates most of the complaints that otherwise roll uphill to the super. Units get sited out of direct all-day sun where the pad allows, since shade slows odor buildup measurably. Skipped visits are the single biggest reason contractors switch suppliers, so service dates get scheduled at delivery and stay on the same weekday.
A service truck needs roughly 12 feet of width, 13 feet of overhead clearance, and reasonably level ground within about 15 feet of the unit. That is straightforward on an Alamo Ranch or Westover Hills pad and tighter on a King William or Lavaca infill lot with alley access and mature pecan canopy. Where the truck cannot reach the unit's final spot, the unit gets placed at the closest serviceable point and the crew walks a little farther — that is cheaper than a relocation fee mid-project. Soft caliche after a heavy rain and unshored trench edges are the two access problems that most often push a delivery to the next morning. A photo of the entrance and drop area texted ahead prevents almost all of it.
Standard construction units are the highest-stock item in the yard, so a call before roughly 11 a.m. on a weekday can often be set the same day inside Loop 1604, and next-morning delivery is the normal commitment for Bexar County and the nearer Hill Country towns. ADA and flushing units are lower stock and are best booked 24 to 72 hours out. If a Bexar County inspector has already asked where the facilities are, say so on the call — that job moves to the front of the route sheet. Delivery windows are given as a window, not a vague 'sometime Monday,' and the driver calls when he is loaded.
Paraphrasing a recurring r/Construction thread: crews complain that a rental looked cheap monthly, then delivery, pickup and 'additional service' fees roughly doubled the first invoice. The spec answer is to get the delivery-and-pickup figure, the per-extra-visit figure and the prorated rate for a partial final month in writing up front — on a Bexar County standard unit those are typically $50–$125, $18–$40 and a daily-prorate, respectively. A second common complaint is units left unserviced over a holiday week in August. The fix is a named service weekday and a service checklist the super can hold the supplier to — pump, sanitize, deodorize, restock — rather than a driver's word that he 'hit it.'
Units placed on private property or inside a fenced jobsite generally need no separate City of San Antonio permit; placement in a public right-of-way, sidewalk or street parking lane is handled through the city's right-of-way use process and is worth confirming with Development Services before drop day. Waste from Bexar County units is hauled by registered transporters and discharged at an approved treatment facility, not on site — that disposal cost is already inside the monthly service line. Distance drives the delivery figure more than anything else: jobs in Southtown, Monte Vista, Terrell Hills and Alamo Heights sit close to the yard's routes, while Stone Oak, far-north 281 and runs out toward Boerne, Bulverde, Helotes and Castroville price toward the top of the $50–$125 range. Historic-district lots in King William and Lavaca often have HOA or neighborhood-association preferences on unit placement and screening, so a spot behind the material stack or off the street face usually keeps everyone happy. Order minimum in all areas is $150.
OSHA requires one toilet facility for 20 or fewer workers, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers above that. Practical San Antonio sizing is one standard unit per 10 workers per week.
