Porta Potty Rental FAQ

An itemized quote lists 5 things: the unit rental, delivery and pickup, any same-day rush fee, any extra service visits, and tax. Nothing is added after you agree. Card payment is taken at booking.

Event rentals are one flat price for the whole Thursday or Friday to Monday window. Long-term rentals are priced per 28-day cycle with weekly service. We don't rent by the hour or by the single day.

A one-day party and a full weekend cost the same, because the flat event price already covers drop-off, the event and Monday pickup. The extra days on site are free.

Delivery and pickup on a long-term rental are charged once, on the first cycle. Later 28-day cycles bill only the rental with weekly service. That's why the first month costs more than the months after.

Two units usually cost less than double, because one truck trip delivers both. Your quote shows the per-unit rental and a single delivery and pickup line.

Distance is one of 5 price factors, along with unit type, dates, service frequency and quantity. Addresses near our Nashville yard cost the least to reach. Rural addresses far off our routes cost more.

Tax-exempt groups send their Tennessee exemption certificate and we remove tax from the invoice. Approved organizations and businesses can also get invoices with net-30 terms.

A standard job-site unit typically runs $150–$225 per 28-day cycle with weekly service, plus a one-time delivery and pickup charge of $50–$95, before tax. See the pricing guide for every unit type.

The cutoff is 12 noon. Call (615) 237-6088 before noon and dispatch fits you onto that day's routes. A same-day rush fee may apply and shows on the quote before you pay.

Deliveries run between 7 AM and 7 PM. The driver calls about 30 minutes before arrival. You can ask for first stop of the day; we note it, though we can't promise an exact time.

Book 2 to 3 weeks ahead for holiday weekends, graduations and peak wedding months in spring and fall. Flushing units and restroom trailers run out first. Standard units are easier to find on short notice.

New lots, pastures and campsites are fine. Text us a map pin and a photo of the spot, plus any gate code. The driver uses the pin instead of a street address.

We deliver and place every unit ourselves. Units are heavy, need to be set level and must be moved upright, so customer pickup isn't offered.

Same-day delivery is possible when you call by noon and a truck has room on that day's route. Have your address, unit count and placement spot ready, and we'll give you a yes or no in a few minutes.

Long-term rentals bill every 28 days, with weekly service included. The cycle renews on its own until you call or text for pickup. Billing stops on the day you request pickup.

A call or text 1 business day ahead is plenty. Tell us the date and confirm the path to the unit is clear. Event units are picked up Monday without any call.

Nothing to do: the unit stays and the next 28-day cycle starts, with weekly service continuing. Call only when you want it gone.

Units can be added or removed before delivery by calling dispatch. After delivery we can drop more units or pull extras on the next route day.

The technician pumps out the waste tank, scrubs and sanitizes the seat, urinal, walls and floor, refills blue deodorizer, and restocks toilet paper and sanitizer. Sink units get fresh water, soap and towels.

Low-use sites, such as a 1–3 person crew or a vacant lot, can ask for every-other-week service. Busy sites or more than 10 workers per unit should add a second weekly visit instead.

A serviced unit has deodorizer in the tank and a vent stack that pulls air up and out. Smell builds with heavy use and heat, so shade placement and on-time service matter most in Nashville summers.

Pickup needs no cleaning from you. Just keep trash, paint, concrete and other debris out of the tank. Items like those can bring an extra cleaning charge.

Keep a clear path on your route day. If a gate is locked or the path is blocked, the service is missed and we come back on the next route day or by request.

A standard unit has a toilet seat, a urinal, a toilet paper holder, a hand sanitizer dispenser, a vent stack and a translucent roof for daylight. The door has an inside latch with an occupied indicator.

Our standard unit is about 44 inches wide, 48 inches deep and 88 inches tall. It fits through a 48-inch gate on a dolly. Wheelchair-accessible units are wider, about 63–65 inches.

Every unit locks from the inside. An exterior padlock hasp is available on request, so you can lock it overnight on a job site or before an event starts.

A sink inside works for small events and crews. A separate two-sided station serves more people at once and keeps the line moving at food events. Many hosts use both.

A 2-station restroom trailer needs a standard 110V outlet on a dedicated 20-amp circuit or a generator, plus a garden-hose water hookup or an onboard tank fill. It also needs about 20 feet of level ground.

Units sit fine on firm, level grass. The truck stays on pavement or gravel, so the spot should be within about 15 feet of where the truck parks or along a clear 48-inch path.

Please don't move a full unit. Tipping it can spill waste. Call us and the driver can reposition it on the next visit.

Level ground keeps the unit stable and the tank from leaking. A gentle slope can work with shims; a steep slope cannot. Tell us about slopes when you book.

Stay off septic tank lids, sprinkler heads and buried lines. Leave clearance from low overhead wires for the truck. Our placement guide covers shade, privacy and lighting too.

One house bathroom handles a small gathering. Past about 30 guests, lines form and septic systems strain. One standard unit covers about 50 guests for 4 hours.

Units work fine in rain. If you need to cancel, it's free up to 48 hours before delivery; inside 48 hours the delivery fee is kept. Rescheduling is free when dates are open.

Homeowners rent the same units contractors use. A driveway spot works well, and the unit keeps crews out of your house bathroom during a remodel or plumbing outage.

Units for funerals and family gatherings are delivered the day before, clean and stocked. Call by noon if the service is tomorrow.

We take Visa, Mastercard, Amex and Discover at booking. Approved business accounts can pay by invoice with net-30 terms. Drivers do not collect payment.

There's no separate deposit. Booking means paying the rental shown on your itemized quote, or opening an approved business account.

The renter is responsible for loss or damage beyond normal use, such as fire, vandalism, graffiti or tipping. Ask for a padlock hasp on open job sites to cut that risk.

Invoices can be issued in any business, church or organization name, with a second contact for the driver. Tell dispatch when you book.
