Porta Potty Rental Questions & Answers

The total depends on the unit, how many you need, your dates and how often it is cleaned. As a guide, a standard unit in Upstate New York commonly costs about $125 to $250 for an event and about $150 to $300 per 28 days on a job site with weekly cleaning. Call (315) 659-7148 for an exact, itemized total.

Your quote covers the unit, delivery, level placement, stocked toilet paper, scheduled cleaning on longer rentals and pickup. Taxes and any rush, weekend or extra-service charges are listed separately so you see the full total before you book.

One-day events are quoted as an event rental. Delivery is usually the day before or the morning of the event and pickup is the next business day, so the price covers the trip, not just the hours of use.

Long-term rentals are billed in 28-day cycles, which is four weeks. Renewal dates move through the calendar, so check the start date and renewal dates on your quote.

The first invoice includes delivery and setup. Renewals cover only the rental and scheduled service for the next 28 days.

Pickup is part of the quoted rental, and your quote states it clearly. For open-ended job-site rentals, call when you are done and we schedule removal.

A rush or special-trip fee may apply when a delivery has to be added outside the normal route. Any fee is quoted before you approve the order.

Larger orders and recurring events are quoted together with the full quantity, dates and service schedule, which usually gives a better total than separate orders.

Ask when you call. Send the organization name, event dates, location and what you need and we will quote the best total we can for the event.

Compare the same unit type, quantity, dates and cleaning visits. Check whether each total includes delivery, pickup, handwashing, taxes and rush fees. The lowest unit price is not always the lowest complete rental.

Same-day delivery is available in Oneida and nearby towns when a unit and driver are open. Call (315) 659-7148 early with the address and the time the restroom must be ready.

We deliver within about 80 miles of Oneida, including Madison, Oneida, Onondaga, Oswego, Herkimer, Otsego, Chenango, Cortland, Cayuga, Lewis, Montgomery, Fulton, Tompkins and Broome counties. See the service area page.

Book as soon as your dates and location are known, especially for summer weekends, holiday weekends, multiple units, ADA units and restroom trailers. For job sites, a few days ahead is usually plenty.

Event units usually arrive the day before or early on the event day, so the truck is gone before guests arrive. You will get the delivery window when you book.

If the restroom must be ready by a fixed time, tell us when you book. Day-before delivery is the safest way to meet a hard deadline.

You do not need to be there if the spot is marked and access is clear. Leave a phone number in case the driver has a question, and meet the driver if the site is hard to find.

Event rentals are picked up on the confirmed date. Job-site and monthly rentals stay until you call to end them, so request pickup and confirm the off-rent date.

Same-day or timed pickup can be arranged if the venue requires it. Ask when you book, since it may need a special trip.

Call before the rental period ends. Extensions are easy to add, and date changes depend on availability for the new dates.

Call as soon as you know. Rescheduling is easiest before the unit is delivered. Your quote lists the cancellation terms.

A toilet seat over a sealed holding tank, a urinal, a toilet paper holder, a roof vent and a locking door with an occupied sign. Sinks, flushing and lights depend on the model.

A standard unit is a basic, non-flushing toilet. A flushable unit adds a fresh-water flush and usually an interior sink. A restroom trailer has real flushing toilets, sinks, mirrors, lights and climate control, and needs power and level ground.

An interior sink lets people wash without stepping outside. A separate station lets people wash without tying up a toilet, which keeps lines short and works well near food. Big events often use both.

An accessible unit has ground-level entry, a wide door, grab bars and turning room. If your event has formal ADA requirements, ask for the unit's specifications and plan a firm, level route to it.

Plan one unit per 50 guests for up to four hours, about 30% more for six hours or when alcohol is served, at least one ADA unit for public events and one handwashing station per three to four toilets. Try the calculator.

OSHA requires at least one toilet for 20 or fewer workers and one toilet plus one urinal per 40 workers above that. Most contractors plan one unit per 10 workers with weekly cleaning.

A standard unit is a little under 4 feet wide, about 4 feet deep and about 7.5 feet tall. ADA units are larger, roughly 7 feet wide and 7 feet deep, so a wheelchair can turn inside. Measure gates and paths before booking.

Some units have interior lights; standard units rely on a translucent roof. For evening events, ask for lit units or plan path lighting.

Many units can take an external padlock. Tell us if you plan to lock it so the service crew can get access for cleaning and pickup.

We focus on rentals that include delivery, cleaning and pickup. Call if you are weighing a long-term rental against other options.

On firm, level ground that the service truck can reach, close to where people need it but away from food and seating. Driveways, gravel pads and the edge of a parking lot are ideal.

Often, depending on the gate width, slope and surface. Send a photo and the narrowest measurement so we can confirm placement before delivery day.

The truck's hose needs to reach the unit, so keep it within about 25 feet of a drivable path. A unit can fit somewhere it cannot be serviced, so plan both.

Send a map pin or GPS coordinates, the nearest road and directions to the entrance. Mark the spot with a stake or flag if you can.

Private property usually does not need one. Streets, sidewalks and public parks often need permission from the city, village or venue. Check before booking.

Please call first. Moving a used unit can spill the tank or damage it. We can reposition it during a service visit.

The correct entrance, gate codes, low wires, overhead branches, tight turns, soft ground and a contact number. Send changes before delivery day.

Weekly service is standard: pump-out, cleaning, deodorizer and fresh paper. Busy sites can add a second visit.

Toilet paper is stocked at delivery and restocked during service. Sinks and handwashing stations come with soap and paper towels; sanitizer depends on the unit.

Overnight or early-morning service between event days can be scheduled. Tell us attendance by day so we plan the right number of visits.

Call (315) 659-7148 with the address and the problem. Report an unusable unit right away and keep people away from it until we arrive.

Good placement, a fresh deodorizer charge and a service schedule matched to use. Shade helps in July and August. Call early if a unit needs attention.

You do not. We pump and clean it at pickup. Just keep the path clear and let us know about any damage.

The delivery address, dates, number of guests or workers, the unit type and any special needs such as accessibility, handwashing or tight access.

We can email a written quote showing the units, dates, service and total, so the person approving it can review before you book.

Your rental is confirmed when we confirm the units, dates and total with you. A quote by itself does not hold equipment.

Call (315) 659-7148 for quotes, delivery questions, service requests and pickup. Owner Lauren and the team handle every order directly.
