Where the unit goes
Most units go on private ground: the end of a driveway, a parking-lot space, a gravel pad or inside a fenced site. The truck needs firm access within hose reach.
In the street, on a sidewalk or in an alley? That needs a city right-of-way permit first. See permits.

FAQs
Common questions
What customers asked us this year, from calls and order notes.
How fast can you deliver a porta potty?
About 47% of our Tampa-area orders in the last year were delivered within a day of booking. For an event on a fixed date, book a few days out.
How does billing work?
Job-site rentals bill in 28-day cycles at your quoted rate, and you keep the unit as long as you need it. Net 30 terms are available for qualified contractor accounts. Delivery, taxes and any extra service are listed on your quote.
How many porta potties does my job site need?
OSHA requires 1 toilet for up to 20 workers. We plan on 1 toilet per 10 workers on a 40-hour week with weekly service, and add a hand wash station once you pass about 20 workers.
How do I schedule a pickup?
Call us at (813) 379-9217 with the date you want it gone and we put it on the schedule. If a pickup is missed, we contact the hauler the same business day.
Can I put a porta potty on my driveway?
Yes. The end of the driveway is one of the most common spots. The truck needs to reach it from your own drive, never a neighbor's, and on firm, level ground. Tell us about trees, soft yards and septic lines when you order.
How far ahead should I book for an event?
Half of our Tampa-area orders are booked 2 days or less before delivery, and a quarter are booked 4 or more days out. For weekends in December, January and April and big weekends like Gasparilla Parade of Pirates, book two weeks ahead.
Do I need a permit for a porta potty?
Not on private property. Tampa lists port-o-lets by name: one in the right-of-way needs a right of way permit in Accela with a site plan and traffic plan. Allow about 12 to 15 business days.
Do you service on weekends?
Yes. Weekend service is available for an extra charge. The price is on your quote.
