What is inside a standard porta potty?
A standard porta potty has a toilet seat over a 60-gallon holding tank and a urinal. It also has a vent stack, a coat hook and a lockable door with an occupied sign. Two rolls of toilet paper and mounted hand sanitizer come with every delivery. Blue deodorizing liquid is added before the unit leaves the yard.

Who should rent a standard porta potty?
A standard porta potty fits most renters. One unit serves about 50 guests at a 4-hour party, or up to 10 workers on a weekly service plan. Pick it for construction crews, remodels, block parties, graduations and yard sales. Choose a flushing unit instead when guests expect a sink and flush.
- Construction crews and subcontractors on 28-day plans
- Bathroom remodels and plumbing repairs at home
- Backyard graduations, birthdays and quinceañeras
- Church festivals, car shows and fundraisers
Will a standard porta potty fit in my yard?
A standard porta potty needs a flat spot about 4 feet by 4 feet and 8 feet of overhead clearance. Side gates must be at least 4 feet wide. The driver walks the unit from the truck, so the path should avoid steps. Service visits need the truck within about 25 feet.
Placement checklist
- Level ground: grass, gravel, dirt, concrete or asphalt
- Door facing away from the house and wind
- Away from sprinkler heads and slopes
- Gate code or a contact on site for the driver
- Hillside lots in Friendly Hills get stakes against Santa Ana gusts
How is a standard porta potty cleaned?
A service visit takes about 10 minutes per unit. The technician pumps the tank, scrubs the seat, urinal, walls and floor, and sprays disinfectant. Fresh blue deodorizer goes in, and paper and sanitizer are restocked. Rentals of 7 days or more get one visit per week at no extra charge.
Extra visits cost a flat fee and can be booked on a set day, such as Friday before a weekend event. Jobsites with more than 10 workers per unit should add a second weekly visit in summer.

Questions people ask before booking
Do I need a special kind of toilet paper?
Regular toilet paper works fine. The tank holds about 60 gallons and the blue liquid breaks paper down. Avoid wipes, paper towels and feminine products, since they clog the pump hose. Two rolls come with delivery, and extra rolls are free with any service visit.
How many people can use one standard unit?
One standard unit handles about 50 guests at a 4-hour event. On a construction plan with weekly service, one unit covers up to 10 workers for a 40-hour week. Add units when alcohol is served or when the event runs longer than 6 hours.
Can I pick the color of the unit?
Color requests are taken when stock allows. The fleet runs mostly blue and gray, with some pink units for events. Gray is a good pick for a front yard or a wedding where the unit should blend in. Ask when you call and it goes on the order.
Can the unit go on my driveway or in the street?
A driveway or yard needs no permit in Whittier. A unit in the street or parkway needs a Whittier Public Works right-of-way permit. Most renters put it on the driveway near the garage, which also keeps the service truck close.
Will it smell?
A serviced unit should only smell faintly of deodorizer. Smell builds when a unit is overused, sits in full sun or misses a service. Placing it in shade and booking a mid-week visit in hot months keeps odor down. Call dispatch and an extra service can usually be added the same or next day.
