How do Rico weather and terrain affect a porta potty rental?
Rico sits near 8,800 feet, one of the highest towns we serve. Winter runs long, with deep snow and nights well below zero, so units get extra antifreeze and the path must be plowed. Summer is short and busy with builds, so book cabin projects early.
Rico winters are hard on units; read how we keep porta potties working below freezing.
How much does porta potty rental cost in Rico?
In Rico, a porta potty (also called a porta john or portable toilet) starts at $175 for a standard event unit or $195 per 28 days on a job site. The 49-mile drive from Cortez adds a modest trip charge that several units on one truck can share.
