What kinds of porta-potties can you rent for a jobsite or event?
We rent standard construction units, event-ready units with added cleanliness features, ADA-accessible wheelchair units, and hand-wash or sanitizer stations. The right choice depends on your crew size, guest count, event type, and how long you need the unit, and we help match the option to your site.
Every project is a little different, so we carry options to fit how you actually use the unit. A busy construction crew has very different needs than a backyard wedding or a weekend festival.
If you are not sure which option fits, just give us a quick rundown of your site, crew size, and timeline and we will point you to the right setup over the phone.
- Standard units for construction and jobsites
- Event units kept extra clean for guests
- ADA-accessible wheelchair-friendly units
- Hand-wash sinks and sanitizer stations
- Short-term weekend and long-term monthly rentals
Which portable toilet option is right for my project?
Use the table below as a starting point. Construction units suit crews and long jobs, event units suit weddings and gatherings, ADA units keep your site accessible, and add-on hand-wash stations improve hygiene anywhere. We will confirm the best fit for your site when you call.
Matching the unit to the job keeps your crew or guests comfortable and keeps your rental cost sensible. The comparison below covers the most common choices we provide across the Thumb and Great Lakes Bay Region.
| Option | Best For | Good To Know |
|---|---|---|
| Standard construction unit | Jobsites, crews, long-term work | Durable and easy to relocate on site |
| Event unit | Weddings, parties, festivals | Kept extra clean for guest comfort |
| ADA-accessible unit | Public events, accessibility needs | Ground-level entry, roomy interior |
| Hand-wash / sanitizer station | Any site needing hygiene | Pairs with any unit as an add-on |
How often are rental units serviced?
Most units are serviced weekly, but we adjust the schedule based on traffic. A high-volume jobsite or a large event may need more frequent servicing, while a low-use site may need less. Each service visit includes pumping waste, cleaning, and restocking supplies so your unit stays sanitary.
During a service visit we pump out the holding tank, clean and sanitize the interior, and restock paper and other consumables. We dispose of all waste responsibly and in line with Michigan environmental standards.
If your usage changes mid-rental, just let us know and we will adjust the servicing frequency so the unit always stays in good shape.
- Waste pumped and tank cleaned each visit
- Interior sanitized and deodorized
- Paper and supplies restocked
- Frequency scaled to your traffic level
How do delivery and pickup work?
We deliver the unit to your site, place it on firm, level ground with clear access, and position it where your crew or guests need it. When your rental ends, we come back to pump, clean, and haul it away. You just need to provide reasonable access for our service truck.
Placement matters for both convenience and servicing. We look for solid, level ground with enough clearance for our truck to reach the unit on each visit and at pickup.
Give us your event date or project start and end dates when you book so we can line up delivery, servicing, and pickup around your schedule.
