Live answer Mon–Sat 7 AM–7 PM. Phone quotes take about 5 minutes.
What is inside a standard porta potty?
A standard porta potty has a toilet seat over a waste tank, a urinal, a 2-roll toilet paper holder and a hand sanitizer dispenser. A vent stack pulls odor up and out. The translucent roof lets in daylight, and the door latch shows "occupied" from outside. There is no sink.
For hand washing, add a separate 2-sink hand wash station, or step up to a unit with a sink built in. Toilet paper and sanitizer come full on delivery.

How big is a standard porta potty?
A typical standard porta potty is about 44 inches wide, 48 inches deep and 90 inches tall. It weighs about 175 pounds empty and holds about 60 gallons of waste. That small footprint fits a driveway corner, a side yard or a spot beside a jobsite trailer.

Will a standard unit fit through my gate?
A standard unit needs a gate with about 48 inches of clear width, since the unit itself is about 44 inches wide. Our crew rolls it on a dolly up to about 50 feet from the truck. Pick level, firm ground: grass, gravel, concrete or asphalt all work.
- Measure the gate at its narrowest point, latch and post included.
- Keep the spot 10 feet from low wires and off septic lids and well heads.
- A slight slope is fine. A steep bank or soft mud is not.
- Mark the spot with a cone, flag or ribbon so no one needs to be home.

Will I get a clean unit or a beat-up construction one?
Event units and construction units are kept apart in our Florence yard. A backyard party or church event gets a unit from the event group, washed and stocked before it leaves. Jobsite units stay on construction routes, where scuffs and dust do not matter as much as sturdiness.
Tell us on the call if guests will see the unit up close. We note it on the order so the driver loads an event unit.
Crews that move a lot can rent a standard unit on a small towable trailer. See jobsite toilet rentals for that setup.
Does a standard porta potty smell?
A standard porta potty smells least when it sits in shade, gets serviced weekly and is not overloaded. Each unit gets deodorizer in the tank on delivery and at every service. The vent stack draws odor up through the roof. Florence summer heat from June to August is the main cause of odor.
Face the door away from afternoon sun if you can. At busy summer jobsites, add a second weekly service. Our post on porta potties in South Carolina heat has more tips.
