Find Sustainable Porta Potty
in Birmingham
At Prime Dumpster, we provide porta potty rentals across Birmingham, Michigan, and the Oakland County communities strung along Woodward Avenue. The units support teardown and rebuild construction on the city's residential streets, commercial fit-outs in the downtown blocks, landscape and hardscape crews, utility work, and events of every kind, from a street party on a closed block to a park concert to a charity run.
Price depends on which unit you take, how many, how long they stay, and how often a truck comes back to service them. Below are our ranges, the Michigan crew count that governs a job site here, how the City handles events and the right of way, and what our lead times look like.
Those figures assume three days on site, which is how a Birmingham weekend booking is usually written. There is rarely a saving in asking for one day instead of a full weekend.
Guest-facing work is what tends to lift a Birmingham quote. A lot of what is delivered here goes to downtown events, residential rebuilds in established neighborhoods, and private parties where a standard unit will not do, so deluxe flushing models, sink units and restroom trailers make up a larger share of local orders than they do in most towns.
Longer construction jobs are priced in four-week blocks with weekly service rolled in, and the weekly cost settles down after the first block.
Site conditions and timing do the rest. Birmingham lots are tight, so placement often has to work around a narrow drive or a shared alley, and a unit that a truck cannot reach cleanly costs more to service. Winter deliveries need the cold-weather setup, and summer weekends book out well in advance.

Start with our porta potty calculator for a first number. Your account manager will then check it against the Michigan crew steps and, for an event, against whatever conditions the City attaches.
Pick by who uses it and how long they are on site. Everything is on the porta potty options page.
The Standard Porta Potty is the everyday unit for a Birmingham build: one private stall with a toilet, a urinal, a paper holder, and sanitizer.
The ADA-Compliant Porta Potty is roomier, enters level without a step, and has grab bars and turning space for a wheelchair. Include one at any public event.
The Deluxe Flushing Porta Potty adds a flushing bowl and far better odor control, and it is the unit most Birmingham hosts ask for once guests are involved.
The Deluxe Porta Potty with Sink puts a sink, soap, and a mirror inside the stall, which works well at a catered garden party on a tight lot.
The Solar Porta Potty runs its light and fan from a roof panel, so an evening event or a site with no power still works after sunset.
The Handwashing Station meets the federal lavatory requirement on a job site and keeps a food area clean at an event, with water, soap, and single-use towels and no plumbing.
The Restroom Trailer brings several private stalls, running water, and climate control, which is the right answer for a wedding, a corporate function, or a long project.
Give your account manager the crew size or the guest list and they will build the mix.
On private ground, no. Birmingham does not permit a portable toilet standing on your own lot, your driveway, or inside a fenced job site. Everything changes at the curb.
Private property and job sites: keep the unit inside your line and off the public sidewalk. Where a building permit is already in place, the unit is part of the approved site setup.
Streets, and this is the strictest wording in the batch: the City's code says nobody may occupy a street with materials or machinery tied to building work next door or for any other purpose without first getting a permit from the city engineer, posting a cash deposit, and filing an insurance policy. A separate section bars placing any article, thing or obstruction in a street except as the code allows, and anything the City does allow in the right of way can have that permission revoked at will, after which the abutting owner has to remove the object at their own cost.
Sidewalks: at least six feet of sidewalk has to stay clear for pedestrians, and where building work makes that impossible the contractor has to lay a temporary plank walkway. On Birmingham's downtown blocks that usually settles the question of where a unit can go.
Events, and the decision is political rather than clerical: a special event permit is required for any event on the public right of way or in a park. The application and fee go to the City Clerk's Office on 248-530-1880 at least 90 days ahead, the application is circulated to City departments for comments and cost estimates, and then it goes to the City Commission for approval at a later meeting.
No automatic yes: the code states that the City Commission has sole and complete discretion over whether to issue a permit, and that holding one in the past gives nobody a right to another. Permits can carry conditions covering insurance, health and safety precautions, a bond or cash deposit against unexpected City costs, and limits on times and locations.
Vendors: anyone selling goods or services as part of a Birmingham event needs a commercial vendor application as well.
What that means for your order: a 90-day runway plus a Commission vote is a long window. Get the restroom count and placement settled early so it can go in with the application rather than chasing it afterwards. Your account manager can help you put that part together.
Level, firm ground and a clear approach for the service truck matter more than usual on Birmingham's narrow lots. Shared alleys are often the only practical access, so check turning room before the delivery.
Keep units at least 15 feet from food service, away from storm inlets, and off the sidewalk line so the six-foot pedestrian path stays open. On a job site, keep them within roughly 200 feet of the crew. At an event, group them in clusters and spread the accessible models across the clusters rather than hiding them in one corner.
Weekly service is our baseline, with extra visits available for heavy use or hot weather. Every visit pumps the tank, washes out the interior, and restocks paper, soap, and towels, which is what Michigan means when it says a toilet has to be serviced regularly and kept supplied with paper.
Disposal is licensed at state level and the paperwork follows the truck. Michigan issues a business license and then a separate license for each vehicle on a five-year cycle, the license cannot be transferred and has to be carried in the cab, and the truck itself is lettered as a licensed septage hauler showing that business license number. The state also keeps a public directory of licensed haulers. Your account manager will confirm the schedule and the disposal route before the first delivery.

Most Birmingham orders can be on site within 24 to 48 hours. Three to five days lets us bring the exact models you want, which matters here because deluxe and trailer units move quickly. For anything needing a City permit, work back from the 90-day application window instead.
Five habits that keep a Birmingham delivery clean:
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges porta potty delivery across Birmingham and the surrounding Oakland and Macomb County communities, including Royal Oak, Oak Park, Southfield, Madison Heights, Sterling Heights, Troy, Bloomfield Hills, Beverly Hills, Franklin and Berkley. Metro Detroit is dense, so we have listed the six nearest of our Michigan porta potty pages by road rather than every page inside an hour's drive.
Expect $199–$349 for a standard unit and $200–$300 for an accessible one. Deluxe flushing and sink models sit at $300–$400, solar units at $500–$600, and a restroom trailer starts at $1,500. Add a handwashing station at $150–$250, which federal rules require on every job site.
Birmingham sets no ratio, so we work from one unit per 50 guests over about four hours and add 15 to 20 percent where there is a bar. Include an accessible model at anything open to the public, and expect the City Commission to attach its own conditions to the permit.
Michigan runs tighter than the national rule. One toilet covers 1 to 20 workers, two are needed from 21 through 40, and past 40 you add one more for every additional 40 or part of that. Only a mobile crew with transport to nearby toilets escapes the count.
Weekly is our standard around Birmingham, and we can add visits for busy sites or hot stretches. Each visit empties the tank, cleans the interior, and restocks paper, soap, and towels. Michigan requires regular servicing and a paper supply, so a skipped visit is a compliance problem.
No. There is no City permit for a portable toilet on private ground in Birmingham, including a driveway or a fenced site. Keep it inside your property line and clear of the sidewalk. A unit in the street is different and needs an engineer's permit, a deposit, and insurance.
The standard model is one narrow stall with a toilet, a urinal, and sanitizer. The accessible version is wider, enters level with no step, and carries grab bars with clear floor space for a wheelchair to turn inside. Birmingham events open to the public should include at least one.
Our ranges are built on three days, so a weekend is the base rate. Reckon on $199–$349 for a standard unit, $300–$400 for a deluxe flushing model, and $150–$250 for a handwashing station. Your account manager will fix the delivery and pickup windows around your event.
Tell us about your event or project and your zip code. We will size the order to the Michigan crew steps, allow for the City's 90-day event window, and quote you on the call.
