What is a standard porta potty?
A standard porta potty is a single-user plastic restroom with a toilet seat over a 60-gallon holding tank, a urinal, a toilet-paper holder and a hand-sanitizer dispenser. A standard porta potty needs no water or power, so it works anywhere a truck can reach.

Will a standard porta potty fit through my gate?
A standard porta potty is about 43.5 inches wide, so it fits through a typical 48-inch residential gate on a hand truck. The driver also needs a clear path and the truck must park within about 15 feet of the final spot so the service hose can reach the tank.
- 48-inch gate or wider: fits on a dolly
- Under 46 inches: place the unit in the driveway instead

How often is a standard porta potty cleaned?
A standard porta potty on a long-term rental is serviced once a week. Each visit pumps the tank, adds fresh deodorizer, cleans the seat, urinal, walls and floor, and restocks paper and sanitizer. Event rentals arrive clean and can add a mid-event service.
When is a standard unit the wrong choice?
A standard unit is the wrong choice when guests expect running water, when a wheelchair user needs access, or when more than about 50 people will share one unit at a 4-hour event. In those cases choose a deluxe unit, an accessible unit or add more standard units.
| If your situation is… | Choose instead | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Wedding or formal party | Deluxe unit with sink | Guests wash up inside; same footprint |
| Public event or park | Add a wheelchair-accessible unit | 2010 ADA Standards §213.2: 5% of each cluster, minimum 1 |
| Food served or crews handling coatings | Add a hand-wash station | Soap and water, not just sanitizer |
| More than 50 guests per unit | Add standard units | 1 unit per 50 guests for 4 hours |
Questions customers ask about this rental
6 questions callers asked before booking, answered by our Rowlett dispatch team.
Ask dispatch: (469) 326-3946What comes inside a standard porta potty?
A standard porta potty has a toilet seat over a holding tank, a urinal, a toilet-paper dispenser, a hand-sanitizer dispenser, a vent stack, a mirror on most models and a door lock with an occupied indicator. A deodorizer goes in the tank to control odor.
Are your porta potties flushable?
Standard units are not flushable. Deluxe units have a foot-pump fresh-water flush and a sink. Restroom trailers have real porcelain flushing toilets.
Will it smell?
A fresh unit has deodorizer in the tank and almost no odor. Smell builds with heavy use and Texas heat. Weekly service, shade placement and extra service for big crowds keep odor down.
Does the porta potty come with a lock?
Every unit has an inside door latch. For units left in public, we can add an outside hasp for your padlock so the unit stays closed overnight.
Can you put it in my backyard?
Yes, if the path is clear and the gate is wide enough. A standard unit is about 44 inches wide, so a normal 4-foot gate works. The truck must still reach the unit with its service hose, so a far backyard may need a closer spot.
How many people does one porta potty handle?
One standard porta potty serves about 50 guests at a 4-hour event, or about 10 workers for a 40-hour week with weekly service. Heavy use or alcohol means you need more units or more service.
