Porta potty delivery area and timing
Porta potty delivery covers every Florissant ZIP code and towns within about 80 miles. Same-day delivery depends on route space, so morning calls have the best chance. Event units go out the business day before your event, and drivers call about 30 minutes ahead of arrival.
Do you deliver to my town?
We deliver across Florissant (63031, 63032, 63033, 63034), all of North St. Louis County and towns within about 80 miles in Missouri and Illinois. See every service area.
Can I get a porta potty delivered today?
Same-day delivery is available when a truck has room, most often on morning calls. A same-day fee of $100 to $150 is quoted before you book.
If not today, can you deliver tomorrow?
Next-business-day delivery is the most common booking. Calls before mid-afternoon usually make the next morning’s route.
How far ahead should I book?
Two business days ahead is enough for most standard units. Book 2 to 4 weeks ahead for weekends in May, June, September and October, and for restroom trailers.
What time will the porta potty arrive?
Drivers run from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and call about 30 minutes ahead. Routes are set the morning of delivery, so we give a window, not an exact minute.
Do you deliver on weekends?
Saturday deliveries are possible on many weekends for an added fee. Weekend events are usually dropped Friday and picked up Monday at no extra cost.
If you deliver early for a holiday weekend, will I be charged an extra day?
Event pricing covers up to 7 days, so an early drop before a holiday weekend costs nothing extra.
Can you deliver on the morning of my event instead of the day before?
Morning-of delivery is possible but carries a timed-delivery fee and no exact arrival time. A day-before drop is cheaper and safer.
Can I pick up the porta potty myself?
Customer pickup is not offered. Our drivers deliver and level every unit.
Do you pick up on Sunday?
Pickups run Monday through Saturday. A weekend event is picked up the next business day.
Can you pick it up the same day the event ends?
Same-evening pickup can be arranged for a fee when a driver is available. Next-business-day pickup is included.
Porta potty prices and payment
Porta potty prices in Florissant start at $199 for a standard event unit with delivery and pickup, and at $199 per 28 days for a jobsite unit with weekly cleaning. Every quote is itemized with tax and any rush fee, and the rental is paid by card when you book.
How much is a porta potty?
A standard event unit starts at $199 with delivery and pickup. A jobsite unit starts at $199 per 28 days with weekly cleaning. See the cost guide.
What is the cheapest unit?
The standard porta potty is the lowest-cost unit. The next step up is a wheelchair-accessible unit, then the flushing unit with sink.
How much for just one day?
Event units are priced per event, not per day, so one day costs the same as up to seven.
Why is it not cheaper if I only need it Sunday?
The price covers the truck trip, cleaning and the unit being off the route, which are the same for one day or seven.
Do you charge by the day, week or month?
Events are priced per event (up to 7 days). Longer rentals are billed every 28 days, not prorated.
What is the total, all in?
Your quote shows one total with unit, dates, delivery, pickup, servicing, any rush fee and tax. That total is what you pay.
Does the price include tax?
Quotes show sales tax as its own line. Tax-exempt organizations pay none with a valid certificate.
Is the delivery fee charged again for pickup?
One delivery-and-pickup charge covers both trips. It is not billed twice.
Is there one delivery fee for several units?
One delivery fee covers every unit on the same truck to the same address.
What does a second month cost?
The second 28-day cycle is the unit rate plus tax, without the one-time delivery fee, so it costs less than the first.
Do you offer discounts for more than one unit?
Multi-unit orders on one truck save on delivery. Large or long-term orders can get a lower unit rate; ask when you call.
Can I get the quote in writing for my manager?
Every quote can be texted or emailed so you can share it before booking.
Is there a deposit?
There is no separate deposit. The rental is paid by card at booking, which holds the unit and delivery slot.
Can you hold a unit while I check with my spouse or boss?
We can hold a quote for a short time, but units are only reserved once paid. In busy weeks, book as soon as you have the go-ahead.
Can I pay cash to the driver?
Drivers do not take payment. All payments go through the invoice by card, or net-30 for approved accounts.
Which cards do you take?
Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover, credit or debit.
Can I pay later through a link?
We can text a secure payment link. The booking is confirmed once it is paid.
Do I get a receipt?
A receipt is emailed after payment, easy to forward to family members splitting the cost.
Porta potty units and features

Do you pump out RVs or owner-owned units?
Pump-outs for RVs and customer-owned tanks are quoted by phone, based on tank size and location.

Placement, access and permits
Porta potty placement needs flat, firm ground within about 15 feet of the truck, and a gate at least 48 inches wide for a standard unit. Private driveways and yards rarely need a permit; streets, sidewalks and city parks usually do.
How big is the delivery truck?
About the size of a large tow truck. It needs a clear driveway or curb near the spot.
Can it go in my backyard?
Backyards work when the gate is at least 48 inches wide and the path is level.

Any level spot the dolly can reach works, at least 10 feet from water edges and doorways.
Will it need a street permit?
Street and sidewalk placement usually needs city approval. See permit rules.
Can I send GPS coordinates instead of an address?
Map pins and coordinates are welcome for farms, new subdivisions and large lots.
