How far is Star from Boise and what does delivery cost?
Star sits 18.4 miles northwest of Boise, roughly 33 minutes by car. Delivery to Star carries a fee because the round trip is significant. Standard delivery runs between $100 and $150 each way, depending on the unit type and how long you keep it rented. A roll-off dumpster costs more to haul, expect $400 to $700 a week for the rental itself, plus delivery. If you're renting for a single day or weekend, delivery becomes a larger share of the total, so longer rentals spread that cost thinner. Check porta potty rental cost for current rates and ask about multi-unit discounts if you're setting up a job site with portable toilets, handwashing stations and temporary fencing. Boise Porta Pros covers Star regularly and can usually schedule delivery within 24 hours.
What size unit does my Star job need?
A standard portable toilet holds about 60 to 70 gallons and measures roughly 44 by 48 inches on the ground, standing about 92 inches tall. That footprint fits most job sites, driveways and temporary work areas. For construction crews, OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, scaling up by headcount as your crew grows. A 15-person framing crew needs one unit. A 50-person site needs two. Deluxe units with a flushing mechanism and hand soap cost more but handle higher traffic better. If your Star location has employees applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) mandates a handwashing station with running water and soap, not hand sanitizer alone. A portable sink meets that requirement. For events, festivals or temporary gatherings in Star, figure 1 unit per 100 attendees for a few hours, or 1 per 75 if they'll be there most of a day. Boise Porta Pros can size your order after a quick call about headcount and duration.
What does maintenance look like during my Star rental?
Industry baseline service is one visit per week for standard use over a 40-hour work week. Rural Star locations sometimes run longer intervals, but regular pumping prevents overflow and keeps the holding tank from backing up. A typical unit fills faster than you'd expect if traffic is heavy. Boise Porta Pros schedules service calls to keep your portable toilet clean and stocked with supplies. Roll-off dumpsters need collection when full, hauling a 20-yard bin costs $426 to $600 per week, with weekend pickup running higher. Storage containers rent by the month for $100 to $250. If you need a restroom trailer with multiple stalls and flushing toilets for a larger Star job, expect $150 to $1,650 per week depending on capacity and finish level. Temporary fencing costs $30 to $75 per day if you need to secure the area around portable facilities. All rentals include delivery to Star and regular service visits. Call for a quote tailored to your specific needs and schedule.
What permits do I need for portable toilets in Star?
Placement of portable toilets in the public right-of-way requires confirmation with Star municipal authorities. Contact the city directly to verify current rules. Boise Porta Pros handles permitting questions for many Boise-area locations, but Star has its own procedures. We'll work with you once the city confirms what's needed.
Can I rent just one unit for a weekend in Star?
Yes. Weekend rates run higher than weekday daily rates because demand peaks. A standard unit for a Saturday and Sunday costs $125 to $400. If you need the unit Friday through Sunday, a three-day weekend rate usually beats the per-day math. Call Boise Porta Pros for exact weekend pricing on your dates.
Does Boise Porta Pros service other towns near Star?
Absolutely. We cover service areas throughout the Treasure Valley, including Meridian (10.1 miles south), Eagle (10.2 miles southeast), Kuna (13.8 miles south) and Nampa (18.8 miles west). Boise itself is 18.4 miles southeast of Star. Delivery fees scale by distance, but we keep Star on regular routes.
What if my Star site needs both portable toilets and a dumpster?
Bundle the rentals to save. A standard portable toilet ($100 to $350 per day) plus a 20-yard roll-off dumpster ($426 to $600 per week) can be scheduled for the same delivery window, cutting your total trip fee. Construction site services often stack ADA accessible units, dumpsters, fencing and handwashing stations. Multi-unit orders get priority scheduling in Star.
How long does it take to deliver to Star from Boise?
About 33 minutes from our Boise base. Delivery is usually same-day or next-day if you call before 3 p.m. Weekend emergencies cost more, expect $400 to $700 for a rush Saturday or Sunday service visit. Rural Star locations rarely face delays once scheduled.
