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.

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.

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many porta-potties do I need for my event?
A common guideline is one unit for roughly every 50 guests for a few hours, with more needed for larger crowds, longer events, or where alcohol is served. Tell us your guest count and event length and we will recommend the right number for your site.
Do you rent for both construction sites and events?
Yes. We serve construction crews, jobsites, weddings, festivals, outdoor gatherings, and more across Caro, Vassar, Saginaw, Bay City, Midland, Freeland, and Bridgeport. We carry standard construction units, event units, and ADA-accessible options to match whatever your project calls for.
How long can I keep a rental unit?
We offer both short-term rentals for a single weekend event and long-term rentals billed monthly for ongoing construction projects. There is no one-size-fits-all term, so just tell us your dates and we will set up a rental period that fits your project.
What is included in a service visit?
Each service visit includes pumping and removing waste, cleaning and sanitizing the interior, deodorizing, and restocking paper and supplies. All waste is disposed of responsibly in line with Michigan environmental standards, so your unit stays clean and sanitary throughout the rental.
Do you offer ADA-accessible portable toilets?
Yes. Our ADA-accessible units feature ground-level entry and a roomy interior to accommodate wheelchair access. They are a smart choice for public events and any site where accessibility matters. Let us know when you book so we can include one in your order.
What kind of access do you need for delivery?
We need firm, level ground and a clear path wide enough for our service truck to reach the unit at delivery, each service visit, and pickup. If your site has tight access, let us know ahead of time and we will work out the best placement with you.
Do you provide hand-washing stations?
Yes. We offer hand-wash sinks and sanitizer stations that pair with any portable toilet rental. They are a popular add-on for food-related events and jobsites where hygiene is a priority. Just ask when you book and we will add them to your order.
