Find Sustainable Porta Potty
in Bangor
At Prime Dumpster, we provide porta potty rentals across Bangor, Maine, and the Penobscot Valley towns along the river. Construction crews on housing, hospital and campus work, road and sewer projects through the short building season, waterfront concerts and festival weekends, fair week events at Bass Park, church suppers, and woods and farm operations out in the county all keep units working here.
Your price follows the unit type, the count, how long you hold them, and how often the truck comes back. Below are the ranges, the numbers to plan around, what Bangor asks for before a unit goes on public ground, and how soon delivery can be arranged.
Each range above covers a standard three-day rental. Most Bangor events are written that way, so a Saturday on the waterfront and a full weekend usually land on the same figure.
Job sites run on a different clock. A build in Bangor is normally billed in four-week cycles with a weekly cleaning visit folded in, and Maine crews often keep units through a whole season rather than a single week.
Access shifts the number too. A downtown lot near Harlow Street is a fast stop. A logging road, a camp lot along the Penobscot, or a site still soft from mud season takes the driver longer, and winter plowing can decide where a unit can even sit.
Extras finish the total. Handwashing stations beside food trucks, an accessible unit for anything open to the public, and a second cleaning visit during fair week all add to the base rate. Your account manager will lay out each piece before you sign off.

Request a Quote NowStart with the number of people and the hours they will be there. These are the counts we build orders around:
Bangor does not publish a fixed ratio. Its event policy says open event organizers have to supply enough portable restrooms for expected attendance, with the City as the judge, so bring a defensible number to the application. Our porta potty calculator gets you close, and your account manager can check it against your headcount.
Different jobs call for different units. You can see them side by side on our porta potty options page.
The Standard Porta Potty is the everyday choice: one stall, a toilet, a urinal, a paper holder, and sanitizer. It covers most job sites and small gatherings.
The ADA-Compliant Porta Potty is roomier, with a flat entry, grab bars, and space to turn a wheelchair. Plan on one whenever the public is invited.
The Deluxe Flushing Porta Potty adds a flushing toilet and better odor control, which guests notice at a wedding or a reception.
The Deluxe Porta Potty with Sink carries a sink, soap, and a mirror inside, so nobody has to walk to a separate station.
The Solar Porta Potty lights and vents itself on solar power. That matters at a camp, a woods lot, or a field with no power run to it.
The Handwashing Station is a stand-alone sink with clean water, soap, and towels. Put one at every food area and on any crew handling materials.
The Restroom Trailer brings several stalls, running water, and heat or air conditioning, which is worth a great deal at a shoulder-season Maine wedding.

On private property, Maine made this simple. Since August 2024 the state has allowed anyone to place and use a temporary portable toilet on a property as long as it is maintained and serviced in a reasonable way. The old requirement for plumbing inspector approval past seven days is no longer enforced. Licensed eating and lodging businesses are the exception and still need written local approval.
Public ground is a different story.
City streets and sidewalks: Bangor publishes a right-of-way application and separate street opening permits through City Hall at 73 Harlow Street. Call 207-992-4200 before you place a unit in a travel lane, a parking space, or a sidewalk.
State routes: Bangor is one of MaineDOT's urban compact communities, which means state highways inside the compact limits are licensed by municipal officers instead of the state. Outside those limits, the state permit applies.
Events: Any event that uses City property, streets, or sidewalks needs an event permit. The application goes to Parks and Recreation at 647 Main Street 30 calendar days ahead, with a $25 non-refundable fee. Call 207-992-4490 with questions. A gathering of fewer than 30 people in a City park, such as a family picnic or a wedding photo session, does not need one. Bass Park, the Union Street Recreation Complex, and the municipal golf course run on their own rental agreements.
Waterfront: Events along the Penobscot have to keep public walkways and sidewalks open, and the area set aside for the event must be drawn on the application, so mark your unit locations on the site plan.
Food vendors: Maine CDC licenses temporary eating places, and the application goes in by mail 30 days ahead. A stand cannot open until it has been inspected and licensed, and the organizer is responsible for making sure vendors hold what the state and the City require.
If you cannot tell whose ground your spot is on, your account manager can point you to the right office.
Choose firm, level ground. Frost heave, spring mud, and soft river soil all move a unit that is not on a solid pad, and a leaning unit is miserable to use.
Leave the driver a clear lane. The truck needs room to pull alongside without backing down a narrow camp road. In winter, keep the approach plowed and sanded, or the visit gets skipped through no fault of anyone.
Keep units at least 15 feet from food service and well away from wells, the stream, and storm drains. On a job site, place them within about 200 feet of the work. At an event, spread them out and set the accessible unit on a flat, firm path.
Weekly service is standard. Each visit pumps the tank, washes and disinfects the inside, and restocks paper and sanitizer. Fair week, a large crew, or a hot July stretch usually earns a second visit.
Where does it go? Maine counts portable toilet waste as septage, and every vehicle hauling it holds a state transport license and moves the load on a manifest that names the receiving facility. Bangor's own sewage goes through the City treatment plant, which gives primary and secondary treatment before the water returns to the Penobscot River. Your account manager can confirm the service days that suit your site.

Most Bangor orders go out within 24 to 48 hours of booking. Three to five days of lead time is comfortable for a job site. For a summer wedding, a waterfront concert weekend, or fair week, give us several weeks, because those dates go first in a short Maine season.
Five habits make delivery easy:
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges porta potty delivery across Bangor and the towns around it, including Brewer, Veazie, Orono, Old Town, Hampden, Hermon, Glenburn, Holden, and Bucksport. Whether the job is downtown near the Kenduskeag, on a build off Broadway or Stillwater Avenue, or at a camp well out of town, we plan delivery, cleaning, and pickup around your calendar.
A standard unit in Bangor averages $199 to $349, and an accessible unit runs $200 to $300. Deluxe models sit between $300 and $400, and a restroom trailer starts at $1,500. Those figures cover a three-day rental. Unit count, rental length, and cleaning frequency set your final number, which your account manager confirms on a free quote.
Figure one unit for every 50 guests at a party running about four hours, then add 15 to 20 percent if drinks are served. A 150-guest reception works out to three or four units. Add a handwashing station beside any food, and include at least one accessible unit whenever the public is welcome.
Maine's state safety plan covers public employees, so private crews here follow the federal construction standard. That means at least one toilet for a crew of 20 or fewer, then one toilet and one urinal for every 40 workers. Keep units near the work, and tell your account manager when the crew grows.
A standard rental includes one visit each week. The driver pumps the tank, washes and disinfects the interior, and restocks paper and sanitizer. Large crews, multi-day festivals, and hot weather often call for two. Weekend event units arrive clean and get serviced when we collect them.
Usually not. Maine lets you place a temporary portable toilet on your own property as long as it is maintained and serviced properly, and no plumbing inspector sign-off is required. Licensed eating and lodging businesses are the exception. You do need City approval once a unit sits on a street, sidewalk, park, or public event site.
A standard unit is a compact single stall with a toilet, a urinal, and sanitizer. An accessible unit is wider, with a flat entry, grab bars, and turning space for a wheelchair. Public events should include roughly one accessible unit for every 20, and at least one in each cluster you set out.
Weekend rentals in Bangor are written as a three-day booking, so Friday through Sunday costs about what one day would. A standard unit averages $199 to $349, a deluxe flushing unit $300 to $400, and a handwashing station $150 to $250. Your account manager will confirm the delivery and pickup windows.
