Find Sustainable Porta Potty
in Alexandria
At Prime Dumpster, we provide porta potty rentals across Alexandria, Virginia, from Old Town to the West End. The units serve construction and utility crews along Duke Street and Eisenhower Avenue, condo and townhouse renovations in Del Ray and Rosemont, park events and 5K races at Ben Brenman and Four Mile Run, waterfront festivals, and block parties on quiet residential streets.
Your cost depends on the unit you choose, how many you need, how long they stay, and how often a driver services them. Below you will find our ranges, the counts Virginia actually requires, the City permits that apply, and how to get units on site without a holdup.
Those figures assume a standard three-day rental, which covers most Alexandria weekend events. A Saturday race and a full Friday-to-Sunday festival usually price the same, so you do not need to trim your dates.
Virginia changes the math on job sites. State rules pair a handwashing facility with every toilet on a construction site, so a crew order here is almost always units plus sinks, not units alone. Site work is normally written in four-week cycles with weekly cleaning included.
Service frequency is the other big lever. Each visit pumps the tank, washes the unit down, and restocks paper and soap. A humid August week on the Potomac or a two-day festival often calls for daily service instead of weekly.
Access matters in a city this dense. A unit on a flat parking pad near the curb is fast to place and fast to service. A unit behind a locked construction fence, down an Old Town alley, or inside a park where trucks cannot drive takes longer, and the quote reflects that. Your account manager will walk the site details with you.

The City sets its own event floor. Its special event permit guide calls for one restroom per 100 people attending, with at least a tenth of them accessible, plus hand sanitizer or handwashing stations and drinking water for everyone there. That is a minimum, not a comfortable number, so plan on our tighter figure and treat the City's as the floor you cannot drop below. Our porta potty calculator gives you a fast starting point, and your account manager can refine it once they know your hours and crowd.
Which unit fits depends on who opens the door and how long they are there. You can compare them side by side on our porta potty options page.
The Standard Porta Potty covers the bulk of orders. It holds a toilet, a urinal, a paper holder, and sanitizer, and it works for crews, yard projects, and small gatherings.
The ADA-Compliant Porta Potty gives you a ground-level entry, a wide door, grab bars, and turning space for a wheelchair. Add at least one anywhere the public is invited.
The Deluxe Flushing Porta Potty offers guests a flushing bowl and much better odor control, which shows at a waterfront wedding or a corporate day out.
The Deluxe Porta Potty with Sink builds a sink, soap, and a mirror into the stall, so nobody walks to a second station to clean up.
The Solar Porta Potty powers its light and fan straight from the sun. It earns its place on trail work, evening park events, and any spot with no power nearby.
The Handwashing Station is a free-standing sink stocked with clean water, soap, and paper towels. In Virginia you will need one for every toilet on a job site, and one by every food area at an event.
The Restroom Trailer gives you several stalls, plumbed water, and heating or cooling. It suits weddings, company events, and long-running sites.
Still weighing the mix? Describe your guests or your crew to your account manager and they will build the order.
On private ground, such as your own driveway, a fenced job site, or a parking lot you control, you will not normally need a City permit. Public ground is a different matter, and Alexandria is strict about it.
Streets, sidewalks and alleys: The City requires a permit from Transportation and Environmental Services for any work in or use of the public right-of-way, which it defines as the street, the strip between sidewalk and street, the sidewalk, and public alleys. Apply at least five business days ahead with a drawing of the location and a traffic plan. Permits of this type cost $125 each, run from one day to 30 days, and renew for another $125. You also need general liability cover of at least $100,000 per person and $300,000 per accident, with the City named as additional insured. Equipment set in the right-of-way must stand at least 20 feet back from a stop bar or crosswalk with flashing barricades at each end. Call the permit office on 703-746-4035.
A seasonal shutdown to plan around: The City runs a right-of-way construction moratorium from 5 in the evening on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving until 7 in the morning on 2 January. If your work touches the street, that window is effectively closed.
Events in City parks: A Special Event Permit applies when a city park is used, when more than 500 people are expected, when two or more permitting offices have to coordinate, when food is sold or served, or when public safety could be at risk. The application fee is $100 and is not refunded, park rental runs $250 or $400 an hour depending on the park, and police support costs about $100 an hour per officer. Your event schedule, with equipment delivery and pickup times, must reach the permit manager at least 30 days out. Call Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities on 703-746-5519.
Unit placement is part of the permit: The City has to approve where your portable toilets go and when they arrive. Delivering early counts as event set-up and leaving units in the park afterward counts as break down, and both add to your park fee. Vehicles may not be driven inside City parks, so units often have to be set at the edge and carried in.
Block parties: A residential street closure costs $125, needs a petition signed by every owner or main resident on the block, and must be filed at least five business days ahead. Insurance of $1,000,000 is required unless no alcohol will be present.
Not certain which office owns the ground you want? Your account manager can point you to the right desk before a truck is booked.
The spot you pick decides how well a unit works all week.
Choose firm, level ground with room for a service truck beside it. Alexandria's older blocks have narrow alleys, low wires, and tight turns, so tell us about any pinch point before delivery day. Parks need special thought, because trucks are not allowed to drive inside them.
Keep units at least 15 feet from food service and well clear of storm inlets, which matters in a city that floods near the waterfront. On a job site, set them within about 200 feet of the work and put the handwashing facility right beside the toilet, which is what the Virginia standard requires. At an event, split units into two or three banks rather than one row, and set accessible units on a hard, level path.
Virginia asks more of servicing than most states. Toilets must stay operational, clean, and stocked with paper, and handwashing facilities must be refilled with drinkable water so soap and single-use towels are always there. At a City event, every portable restroom has to be maintained daily. A standard rental includes a weekly visit, and we add visits where the rules or the crowd call for it.
Alexandria's wastewater is treated by AlexRenew, whose Environmental Center sits at 1800 Limerick Street and is open on weekdays from 8 in the morning until 5 in the afternoon. Your account manager can set your service rhythm and talk placement through with you.

Most Alexandria porta potty orders can be on site within 24 to 48 hours. Give us three to five days and we can match the right units to the job. For a spring race weekend, a waterfront festival, or an outdoor wedding, allow several weeks, because that is when the whole region books at once.

Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges porta potty delivery across Alexandria and the Northern Virginia communities next door, including Arlington, Falls Church, Annandale, Springfield, Fairfax, Alexandria's West End, Huntington, Groveton, Franconia, and Fort Hunt. Whether your project sits in Old Town, off the Beltway near Landmark, or along the Eisenhower Valley, we build the delivery, service, and pickup around your dates.
Expect $199–$349 for a standard unit and $200–$300 for an ADA-compliant one. Solar units average $500–$600, deluxe flushing and sink units $300–$400, and a restroom trailer starts at $1,500. Unit count, rental length, and service frequency move the total. Your account manager pins the number down in your free quote.
Figure 1 unit per 50 guests across a four-hour window, with 15 to 20 percent on top if there is a bar. The City's own floor at a permitted event is one restroom per 100 people, with a tenth of them accessible. Add handwashing by the food and plan above the minimum.
Virginia sets its own rule and it is tighter than the federal one. You need one toilet and one handwashing facility for every 20 workers or part of 20, whatever the crew size. Twenty-five workers means two of each. Tell your account manager when the crew grows so the count keeps pace.
A weekly visit comes with a standard rental. The driver pumps the tank, washes the bowl and floor, wipes surfaces, and restocks paper and soap. Virginia requires job site units to stay clean and stocked, and the City requires daily upkeep of event units, so we often schedule more.
Usually not. A unit on your own driveway, parking lot, or fenced job site needs no City of Alexandria permit. The moment it sits in a street, on a sidewalk, on the strip beside the curb, or in an alley, you need a right-of-way permit from Transportation and Environmental Services first.
A standard unit is one narrow stall holding a toilet, a urinal, and sanitizer. An ADA unit is wider, with a ground-level entry, grab bars, and floor space to turn a wheelchair. Any event the public can walk into needs accessible units in each bank. Units that only a construction crew uses sit outside that rule.
Our ranges are built on a three-day rental, so a weekend is already the standard window. Figure $199–$349 for a standard unit and $300–$400 for a deluxe flushing one. Handwashing stations average $150–$250. Your account manager locks in the window, the drop time, and the pickup.
