Porta Potty Rental Questions and Answers

For most rentals, a few days is plenty, and same-day delivery is available when trucks are free. For Saturdays from May through October, weddings and festivals, book two to six weeks ahead, and three to six months ahead for restroom trailers.

The delivery address, the date and time you need it, how many people will use it, how long you need it, where on the property it should go and a phone number for someone on site.

Weekend delivery can be arranged for events. Most event units are dropped on Thursday or Friday and picked up Monday, which keeps the cost down.

The service truck needs to park within about 25 feet of the unit on a surface that holds its weight. Let us know about narrow drives, low wires, soft lawns or gates.

A unit can go in a backyard if a path about four feet wide leads from the driveway and the ground is firm. The driver hand-carts it into place and the service truck pumps it from the nearest reachable spot.

You get the exact price on the phone or by email once we know the unit, the address, the dates and how many service visits you need.

Payment terms depend on the size and date of the rental. They are explained in your quote before anything is booked.

Cancellation terms depend on how close to the date you cancel and are listed in your quote. Call as early as possible if plans change.

Construction rentals bill in 28-day cycles with weekly service included. When the job ends, call for pickup and the billing stops at the end of that period.

Standard units do not have sinks, but hand sanitizer can be added inside. Deluxe units have a built-in sink, and freestanding hand-washing stations can be placed next to any unit.

Most units have a translucent roof that lets in daylight. For evening events, add path lights or battery lights, or choose a restroom trailer with interior lighting.

Units have an occupancy latch on the inside. Lockable units for after-hours job sites are available on request.

Colors vary by fleet. If color matters for photos or a theme, ask when you book and we will tell you what is available on your date.

Put them a short walk from the main area, downwind of the food, on level ground, with the doors facing away from guests. Add lighting for evening events.

Rent one whenever food is served or the party lasts more than a couple of hours. Plan one station per four to five units.

Choose deluxe units or a restroom trailer, add one ADA unit, place them near the reception but out of the photo backdrop, light the path and add a small basket of supplies.

Public events on a street or in a park often need a permit from the city, village or town. The clerk or parks office can tell you, and your quote can list the units for the application.

The employer must provide toilets for workers under OSHA rules. General contractors usually rent units for the whole site, and the rental covers placement and weekly service.

Construction units are serviced on a regular weekly route. Ask for a preferred service day when you book.

Units can be added, moved or removed as the job changes. One call updates the count and the next service visit handles it.

The technician pumps the tank, adds fresh deodorizing chemical, washes and sanitizes the inside, restocks toilet paper and sanitizer and checks the door and latch.

Only human waste and toilet paper. Trash, wipes, diapers, paint, oil and cigarette butts cause odors and can block the pump hose.

Call right away. A tipped unit is cleaned and replaced as soon as possible; serious damage from misuse may carry a charge, which you will hear about up front.

Extra service visits can be added for busy weeks, long events or before an inspection.

Units are set on level ground and can be staked or tied down on open, windy sites. For forecast storms, call and they can be secured or moved.

Heat speeds up odors, so summer units get a stronger deodorizer and, at busy events, more frequent service. Placing units in shade helps.
