Which porta potty do you need?
Most Detroit renters need a standard porta potty: it fits job sites, home remodels and backyard parties. Choose a flushing unit with a sink for weddings, a wheelchair-accessible unit for public events, and a restroom trailer when guests expect a real bathroom. The table shows what each unit needs on site.
| Unit | Best for | Flush & handwashing | Needs on site | Wrong choice when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard porta potty | Job sites, home remodels, backyard parties, block parties | No flush; hand sanitizer inside | Level 4 ft × 4 ft spot the truck can reach | Food is served and you have no sink nearby |
| Flushing unit with sink | Weddings, showers, graduation parties, corporate picnics | Foot-pump flush and sink | Same spot as a standard unit; no power or water | Heavy use over several days without extra service |
| Wheelchair-accessible unit | Public events, church events, job sites with accessibility needs | No flush; grab bars and sanitizer | Level 8 ft × 8 ft pad with no step at the door | Ground is sloped or soft (the door must stay level) |
| Handwashing station | Food service, construction crews, festivals | Two foot-pump sinks, soap, towels | Level spot next to the toilets | Used alone with no toilets nearby |
| Restroom trailer | Weddings, VIP areas, long outdoor events, emergency shelters | Flushing toilets and running-water sinks | Standard outlet within 100 ft, hose or water tank, level driveway | No power, soft lawn only, or no truck path |

See optionsDo you need a permit for a porta potty in Detroit?
A porta potty on private property in Detroit usually needs no permit. A unit on a street, alley or sidewalk falls under Detroit Public Works right-of-way rules. A public special event needs city approval, and the City of Detroit guide sets 1 portable restroom per 100 attendees plus 1 handwashing station per 4–5 restrooms.
Private driveway or yard
No city permit in most cases. Homeowner associations and landlords may have their own rules, so check your lease or HOA covenants.
Street, alley or sidewalk
Detroit Public Works, City Engineering Division handles right-of-way permits at 2 Woodward Ave, Suite 642, (313) 224-3935. We place units on private ground whenever possible to avoid this step.
Public or permitted events
The Detroit special-events application is due 60 days before the event and includes a portable restroom contractor agreement. We sign it and supply the layout counts.
Sources: City of Detroit right-of-way permit information; City of Detroit Special Events Applicant Guide. Confirm your situation with the city before your event. See the full Detroit porta potty permit guide.

Porta potty rental questions from Detroit renters
Straight answers to the questions people ask before they book. More in the full FAQ.
How much does it cost to rent a porta potty in Detroit?
A standard porta potty for a weekend event in Detroit starts at $165, including delivery and pickup within 25 miles. A standard unit on a job site starts at $155 per 28-day cycle with weekly service, plus a one-time $75 delivery and pickup charge. Michigan sales tax is added. See the full Detroit price guide.
Can you deliver a porta potty today?
Yes. Call (313) 476-6006 by noon, Monday through Saturday, and we deliver the same day across Detroit and most suburbs. A $75 same-day fee applies to the order, not to each unit. Addresses 50 to 80 miles out need the call by 10 AM.
Do I need to be home when the porta potty is delivered?
No. Mark the spot with a cone, chair or ribbon, unlock any gate and leave a note about gate codes. The driver calls about 30 minutes before arriving and texts a photo of the placed unit.
Do you deliver on weekends?
We deliver Monday through Saturday. For a Saturday or Sunday event we drop the unit Friday or Saturday and pick it up Monday at no extra charge. Units are not delivered on Sundays.
How many porta potties do I need for a party of 100?
Two standard units cover 100 guests for up to 4 hours. Add 1 more unit if alcohol is served, and add 1 handwashing station when food is served. The porta potty calculator adjusts for longer events.
Do I need a permit for a porta potty in Detroit?
A porta potty on your own driveway or yard in Detroit does not usually need a permit. A unit on a street or sidewalk falls under Detroit Public Works right-of-way rules, and public special events need city approval. Read the Detroit permit guide.
What happens if the porta potty gets full before pickup?
Call (313) 476-6006 and we send a service truck, usually the same or next business day. An extra service visit costs $45 per unit. Busy job sites can book twice-weekly service from the start.
Will the truck damage my lawn or driveway?
Our trucks park on the street or driveway, and units are rolled into place on a hand dolly. On soft lawns after rain we place the unit on the driveway edge instead. Tell us about septic tanks, sprinkler heads or buried lines before delivery.
