Same-day delivery is available when you call by 11 a.m., Monday to Saturday. In Erie, Millcreek, Harborcreek, Fairview, Summit, Lawrence Park and Wesleyville there is no rush fee. Elsewhere in Erie County same-day delivery depends on the route and carries a flat $50 rush fee, quoted before you book.

A short job can use the 7-day rate instead, which starts at $145 for a standard unit and includes one cleaning. Events run from drop-off to pickup, up to 4 days, at one flat price. The 28-day rate is only for jobs that last weeks or months.

Most Saturday party units are dropped off on Friday and picked up on Monday. The extra days cost nothing. Sunday events get a Saturday or Friday drop-off, because the office is closed on Sunday. Saturday morning delivery is possible on request, but Friday is the safer choice.

You do not need to be home. Mark the spot with a cone, a flag or a chalk X, or text a photo with the spot circled. Leave gates unlocked or text the gate code. The driver texts about 30 minutes before arrival.

Delivery and pickup are one line on your quote, charged once per order: $49 in the Erie same-day zone, $69 to $99 in the rest of Erie County, and from $99 in Crawford and Warren counties. There is no fuel surcharge, no card fee and no separate removal fee.

Monthly rentals are cleaned once a week. Each visit pumps the tank, scrubs the seat and touch points, adds fresh blue deodorizer and restocks paper and sanitizer. Units shared by more than about 10 workers can add a second weekly visit. Event units arrive clean and stocked, and an extra visit is $45 per unit.

A standard porta potty has a hand-sanitizer dispenser, not a sink. For a sink, rent a deluxe flushing unit, which has a foot-pump sink inside. A separate handwashing station also works, with 2 sinks, soap and paper towels. Any event serving food should have one or the other.

A porta potty on your own driveway, yard or lot usually needs no permit. A unit on a city street, sidewalk or curb lane is in the public right-of-way, and the City of Erie usually requires an occupancy permit for that. Townships like Millcreek set their own rules, so call the township office first.

A 100-guest party up to 4 hours needs 2 standard porta potties. Add 1 more if it runs over 4 hours, and 1 more if alcohol is served, so a long party with a bar needs 4. Make one of them wheelchair-accessible for public events. The porta potty calculator shows the math for your headcount.

Event units are picked up automatically on the next business day. Jobsite and monthly units stay until you ask, so text or call 1 business day before you want the unit gone. Billing ends with the 28-day cycle in which you ask for pickup.

Every unit can come with a free lock hasp. Add your own padlock. A lock is smart when the unit sits overnight in a park, at a church lot or on an open jobsite before your event starts.
