- Delivery the day before. The driver calls ahead and texts a photo when placed.
- Pickup the next business day. Leave the unit where it is; no cleaning needed.
Event porta potty questions
How many porta potties do I need for a graduation party?
Plan 1 standard porta potty for every 50 guests at a 4-hour party. A 100-guest graduation party needs 2 units. Add 1 more unit if alcohol is served, and a hand-wash station if food is on the table.
Do you deliver the porta potty the day before my party?
Party units are delivered the day before and picked up the day after. The event price covers up to 4 days, so the early drop costs nothing extra. Saturday and Sunday parties are usually delivered Friday and picked up Monday.
Is an event porta potty cleaner than a construction unit?
Every unit we deliver is pumped, pressure-washed, sanitized and inspected before it goes out on a truck. For events we send our newest-looking units and can add a sink, a mirror or a flushing unit.
Can I put a porta potty in a public park?
A park unit needs permission from whoever runs the park. For Harrisburg city parks and City Island, contact the city's Parks office or Special Events line at 717-255-3166 before booking. We deliver once you have the go-ahead.
Will the porta potty smell during my party?
Each unit has a roof vent and a blue deodorizing treatment in the tank. Place the unit downwind and about 50 feet from food tables, with the door facing away from guests, and odor is rarely noticed.
Can I change the number of units after booking?
You can add or remove units up to 24 hours before delivery at no charge. Adding units inside 24 hours is often possible; call and we check the truck load.
