The standard portable restroom is our most requested unit and the backbone of job site and outdoor event sanitation. Each unit includes a non-flush toilet, urinal, toilet paper, and ventilation to keep things comfortable through a full workday or event. These units are well-suited for construction sites, road and pipeline crews, farm and agricultural operations, hunting camps, and rural or remote properties where permanent facilities are not available.
This unit gives you everything in the standard model plus a built-in hand-wash sink inside the cabinet. It is a practical step up for worksites and events where hand hygiene matters but a full trailer is not needed or practical. Food-service areas, health-focused events, and sites with hand-washing requirements are natural fits.
Good service isn't complicated, it's just reliable. Our deluxe flushable restrooms bring a noticeably higher level of comfort to outdoor events. Each unit features a foot-pump flush, a fresh-water sink, and a mirror. They are the right choice for weddings, graduation parties, upscale outdoor gatherings, film productions, and VIP areas at festivals where guests expect more than a basic unit.
Every event and job site should have at least one ADA-compliant unit available. Our accessible restrooms feature ground-level entry, a roomy interior, and grab bars to meet the needs of guests and workers with mobility considerations. We can scale up the number of accessible units for larger events, and we will walk you through what makes sense for your headcount when you call.
Some job sites cannot be served by a standard ground-level unit. We carry rolling and elevator-fit units designed to move between floors inside an active building, and crane-hoistable units built to be lifted to elevated work decks and rooftop sites. If you are running a high-rise project or working at height, these are the units that keep your crew compliant without interrupting the work.
We've handled everything from intimate weddings to multi-day festivals, and restroom trailers are often the right call for those events. Our trailer lineup runs from compact two-station units up to large multi-station configurations. Upscale and wedding-grade trailers include running water, climate control, and interior lighting. They work equally well for corporate events, concerts, sporting events, and film sets.
For events and venues that need trailer-level facilities with full accessibility, we offer ADA-accessible restroom trailers equipped with a lowering chassis, a ramp, and accessible stalls. These units allow guests who use wheelchairs or mobility aids to use the same quality trailer facilities as everyone else.
Our shower trailers and shower-restroom combination units are built for situations where basic restroom access is not enough. Multi-day festivals, disaster relief and emergency response staging areas, remote worksites, film productions, and campgrounds all benefit from having shower access on site. We can pair a standalone shower trailer with restroom units or deliver a combination trailer that handles both needs in one footprint.
Standalone hand-wash and hand-sanitizer stations complement any portable restroom setup. They are a practical addition to events, construction sites, farmers markets, fairs, carnivals, and food-service areas. We make restroom rental simple, and adding a few wash stations to your order takes one phone call.
For remote sites and off-grid properties with no sewer connection, we offer holding tanks and spill-containment trays that work alongside our placed units. These are also a common need at disaster relief staging areas and temporary event sites where infrastructure is limited.
Most hosts have never had to plan restrooms before, and that is exactly where we come in. We rent portable restrooms and trailers for outdoor weddings, graduation parties, birthday parties, block parties, festivals, concerts, sporting events, marathons, 5Ks, tournaments, county fairs, farmers markets, and carnivals across York and York County. Whether you need two units for a backyard party or a full trailer lineup for a multi-day event, we size the order to fit your crowd and your site. Call and we'll get units booked.
We work with general contractors, home builders, remodelers, road crews, pipeline crews, and utility workers throughout the York area. If your crew is on site, they need compliant sanitation facilities. OSHA's sanitation standard (29 CFR 1926.51) sets the requirements, and we will help you figure out what your site needs when you call. We also handle temporary restroom needs for homeowners whose bathroom is out of service during a renovation, which is a situation that comes up more often than most people expect.
We serve farms and agricultural operations, rural and off-grid properties, hunting camps, campgrounds, film productions, and disaster relief and emergency response sites across Pennsylvania. If the location is remote or the situation is urgent, call us and we will work through the logistics together.
Here's what most people get wrong about porta potty rentals: they underestimate how many units they need. The guidance below gives you a solid starting point, but every situation is a little different, so we always recommend calling for a tailored recommendation.

For construction and job sites:
These are helpful rules of thumb, not a firm quote. Call us and we will help you land on the right number for your headcount, site layout, and event length.
We offer flexible rental terms to match whatever your project or event requires. Short-term rentals cover single-day, weekend, and one-week needs for events and brief projects. Long-term rentals run weekly, monthly, or on an open-ended schedule for construction sites and worksites that need consistent coverage.
We also offer same-day and last-minute delivery for customers in York and York County when availability allows. If you are in a bind, call us and we will do our best to get units to you quickly. Give us a call and we'll handle the rest.
Clean, stocked restrooms keep an event running smoothly, and that starts with a service process that does not leave things to chance. We handle the full rental cycle: delivery, placement, routine pump-out, cleaning, sanitizing, deodorizing, and restocking of paper and soap, followed by pickup when your rental period ends.
For typical use, we service units approximately twice a week. High-traffic events and busy job sites get more frequent visits to keep up with demand. We build the servicing schedule around your situation, not a one-size-fits-all calendar. That approach has earned us prompt response, even on last-minute event bookings, and the kind of service planners pass along by word of mouth. The drop-off and pickup are on us.
We keep our pricing straightforward. Rates vary based on the unit type, rental duration, number of units, and servicing frequency, so we do not publish a rate sheet that may not reflect your actual situation. What we do offer is a free estimate over the phone.
Call us, tell us what you need, and we will give you a clear, honest quote with no surprises. Whether you are comparing options for a one-day event or budgeting a months-long job site, we will walk you through the numbers before you commit to anything.
We deliver throughout York and the communities that make up York County, including Red Lion, Hanover, Shrewsbury, Spring Grove, Dover, Dallastown, Stewartstown, and New Oxford. If you are nearby and not sure whether we cover your area, just call and ask. We know the roads, the neighborhoods, and the kinds of projects that come up around here.
We carry ADA and standard units for any size event, and we can put together a mix that works for your venue, your guest count, and your budget. Whether you are planning something in the city or out in a rural corner of the county, we are ready to help.
Every service visit covers a full pump-out of the waste tank, interior cleaning and sanitizing, deodorizing, and restocking of toilet paper and soap. We do not skip steps on a routine visit. The unit should look and function the same after a service call as it did at delivery.
OSHA's sanitation standard (29 CFR 1926.51) requires employers to provide adequate toilet facilities on job sites. As a working guide, one toilet covers up to 20 workers. Above that, plan on one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers for sites up to 200 workers, and one toilet and one urinal per 50 workers beyond that. Call us with your crew size and shift schedule and we will help you figure out the right unit count for your site.
The standard starting point is one restroom per 50 guests for an event lasting up to about four hours. For events that run longer, you will need more units to keep up with demand. Call us with your headcount and event timeline and we will help you land on a number that works.
Restroom trailers are the right call when you want running water, climate control, and a higher level of comfort for guests. They are a natural fit for weddings, upscale outdoor receptions, corporate events, and any situation where a standard portable unit would feel out of place. If your guest count is large and the budget allows, a trailer can handle multiple users at once and reduce wait times significantly.
The deluxe flushable unit is the right step up when guests expect more than a basic portable restroom but a full trailer is not in the budget or the space is limited. It features a foot-pump flush, a fresh-water sink, and a mirror, making it a strong fit for weddings, graduation parties, corporate events, and upscale outdoor gatherings where first impressions matter.
The standard unit with a built-in hand-wash sink is a practical choice for events and job sites where hand hygiene is a priority but a full trailer is not needed. Food-service areas, health-focused events, and worksites with on-unit handwashing requirements are natural fits. It gives you the compact footprint of a standard unit with a meaningful hygiene upgrade.
For weddings and outdoor receptions, we typically recommend deluxe flushable units, a restroom trailer, or a combination of both, depending on your guest count and venue layout. Every wedding setup should include at least one ADA-accessible unit. Call us with your guest count, venue details, and event length and we will put together a recommendation that fits the occasion.
Our wedding-grade and upscale restroom trailers include running water, climate control, interior lighting, and finishes that make them feel far closer to a permanent facility than a standard portable unit. They are designed for events where the guest experience matters and a basic unit would fall short. These trailers are available in configurations ranging from compact two-station units up to large multi-station setups.
These specialty construction units are built for high-rise and multi-story job sites where a standard ground-level restroom is not accessible to workers on upper floors. Rolling and elevator-fit units move between floors inside an active building, while crane-hoistable units are designed to lift safely to elevated work decks and rooftops. If your site involves work at height, these are the units that keep your crew covered without interrupting the project.
For ongoing job sites, we use OSHA's sanitation standard as the baseline and adjust based on your crew size, shift schedule, and how the site layout changes over time. We also factor in how frequently you want units serviced to keep things manageable for your crew. Call us with your projected crew count and project timeline and we will build a plan that holds through the job.
Odor control in warm weather starts with servicing frequency. We pump out waste, clean, sanitize, and deodorize units on every visit, and we increase visit frequency during hot stretches or when usage is high. Proper ventilation in each unit also helps. If you are renting during summer months in York County and expect heavy use, let us know and we will build a tighter service schedule into your order.
Yes, every unit is fully stocked with toilet paper at the time of delivery. We also restock on every scheduled service visit throughout the rental. If you run low between visits, call us and we will address it.

| Spill-Containment Tray | Indoor job sites and surface-sensitive locations |
| A smart add-on for any site where a spill would cause a problem, including indoor renovations, finished floors, and environmentally sensitive areas. |
How many portable restrooms do I need for my event?
A good starting point is one restroom per 50 guests for an event lasting up to about four hours. If your event runs longer, add more units to account for the increased use. When alcohol is being served, plan to add roughly 10 to 20 percent more units than your baseline count. Include at least one ADA-accessible unit in any lineup, and for larger events, figure on about one ADA unit for every 20 units total. These are rules of thumb, not firm quotes. Call us with your guest count, event length, and any other details and we will give you a specific recommendation.
How many units does a construction site need under OSHA rules?
OSHA's sanitation standards for construction (29 CFR 1926.51) set the requirement. As a practical guide, one toilet covers up to 20 workers. Above that, plan on one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers for sites with up to 200 workers, and one toilet and one urinal per 50 workers beyond that. These numbers apply to workers on site at any one time. We help contractors stay in compliance with scheduled delivery and regular servicing throughout the project. Call us with your crew size and project timeline and we will put together the right setup.
What does routine servicing include?
Every scheduled service visit includes pumping out waste, cleaning and sanitizing the interior, deodorizing, and restocking toilet paper and soap. For typical use, we service units about twice a week. High-traffic events and busy job sites get more frequent visits, and we build the schedule around your situation. Servicing is part of the rental, not an add-on you have to request separately.
Clean and Freshly Serviced Units
Every unit we deliver goes out clean, stocked, and ready to use. Routine servicing keeps units that way throughout your rental, with pump-outs, sanitizing, and restocking on a schedule built around your traffic.
What is the difference between a standard portable restroom and a deluxe flushable unit?
The standard unit includes a non-flush toilet, a urinal, ventilation, and toilet paper. It is the right choice for most construction sites and general outdoor events. The deluxe flushable unit adds a foot-pump flush, a fresh-water sink, and a mirror, giving guests an experience that feels closer to a permanent facility. If you are hosting a wedding, a corporate event, or any gathering where presentation matters, the deluxe unit is worth considering. We can walk you through both options when you call.
When does a restroom trailer make sense for a wedding?
A restroom trailer is a good choice when you want the restroom experience to match the quality of the rest of your event. Trailers offer private flushing stalls, running water, interior lighting, and in some configurations, climate control and high-end finishes. For a backyard wedding or a venue without permanent facilities, a trailer gives guests something that feels like a real restroom rather than a temporary unit. Our luxury and VIP trailer options are built specifically for upscale weddings and estate events. Call us with your guest count and event details and we will help you find the right fit.
Are ADA-accessible units required for public events?
Most public events are expected to include at least one ADA-accessible unit, and many venues and permits require it. We recommend including at least one accessible unit in any lineup as a matter of course. For larger events, plan on roughly one ADA unit for every 20 units in your total count. We carry both single ADA portable units and ADA-accessible restroom trailers for events that need accessible facilities at scale.
Honest Advice on How Many Units You Need
We give you a straight answer on unit counts based on your guest count, crew size, and event length. No upselling, just a practical recommendation you can count on.
What access does your truck need for delivery and placement?
Our delivery truck needs a clear path to the placement area, typically a lane wide enough for a standard service vehicle and overhead clearance if you are near trees or structures. We ask about site access when you call so we can plan the drop-off in advance. If your site has a narrow entrance, soft ground, or other access challenges, let us know and we will work out the best approach. You do not need to be on site for delivery as long as we have clear placement instructions and access to the area.
What happens to the waste when units are serviced?
When our crew services a unit, they pump out the waste tank and transport the waste to a licensed disposal facility. We handle the full cycle: delivery, servicing, and responsible waste disposal from the units we place. You do not need to arrange anything on your end. This is a standard part of every rental.
How far in advance should I book units?
Booking as early as possible is always the safer approach, especially for weddings, festivals, and large events where you need multiple units or a restroom trailer. That said, we offer prompt response on last-minute requests and same-day delivery when our schedule allows. If your event is coming up quickly, call us anyway and we will let you know what we can do. For construction sites with a known project start date, a week or two of lead time is usually enough for standard units.
ADA and Standard Units for Any Event
We carry accessible units alongside our full standard lineup, so any event or job site can meet accessibility needs without a separate call to a different supplier.
Do units arrive stocked with toilet paper and hand sanitizer?
Yes. Every unit goes out clean, stocked, and ready to use. We include toilet paper and hand sanitizer at delivery, and we restock both on every scheduled service visit throughout the rental. You do not need to supply anything on your end.
What is the difference between a hand-wash station and a hand-sanitizer station?
A hand-wash station is a self-contained unit with a foot-pump, fresh water, soap, and paper towels. It provides a full handwashing experience and is the right choice for food-service areas or anywhere hand hygiene is a priority. A hand-sanitizer station uses a touch-free dispenser and requires no water connection. It is easier to place anywhere guests or workers are moving through frequently. Both can be added to any rental order or placed on their own.
Can I add units after I have already booked?
Yes. If your guest count goes up or your crew size grows, call us and we will add units to your order and update the servicing schedule to match. We would rather adjust in advance than leave you short on the day. The sooner you let us know, the easier it is to confirm availability and coordinate the additional delivery.
