Find Sustainable Porta Potty
in Columbus
At Prime Dumpster, we provide porta potty rentals across Columbus, Ohio, and the suburbs around it. Data center and warehouse construction out along the outerbelt, apartment and campus work near the university, road crews, summer festivals downtown and in the Short North, church festivals, and youth sports tournaments all keep portable toilets busy here, and construction sites and public events are the two reasons most people call us.
Your cost depends on the kind of unit, how many you take, how long you keep them, and how often a truck services them. Below you'll find price ranges, how to size your order, the City's event and right-of-way deadlines, Ohio's servicing rules, and delivery timing.
Read those ranges as a standard three-day rental. A one-day event and a full weekend generally price the same, so there's nothing to gain by trimming your dates.
Rental length moves the total more than any other choice. Central Ohio job sites normally sit on four-week cycles, and the per-day cost drops sharply once you're on that footing.
Service frequency comes next. Every visit pumps the tank, cleans the unit, and restocks paper and sanitizer. A crew of 40 or a Saturday festival crowd will need more than the standard weekly stop.
Then there's the site itself. A paved staging area is a two-minute call for a driver. A unit behind a construction fence downtown, or inside a closed-off block during a festival, takes longer and sometimes needs timed access. Tell us about the approach and we'll plan around it.

The City's own permit thresholds give you a second sanity check. A park gathering over 100 people already needs a special event permit, and a crowd that size on a hot August afternoon is comfortably past two units. Run your numbers through our porta potty calculator, then your account manager will confirm the order.
Choose by who uses the unit and how long they're there. Everything sits side by side on our porta potty options page.
The Standard Porta Potty is the workhorse for job sites, ball fields, and backyard projects. It has a toilet, a urinal, a paper holder, and hand sanitizer.
The ADA-Compliant Porta Potty enters at ground level with a wide door, grab bars, and room to turn a wheelchair. Build one into every public event.
The Deluxe Flushing Porta Potty flushes, which reads very differently to a wedding guest than a basic unit does.
The Deluxe Porta Potty with Sink adds a sink, soap, and a mirror inside. Family gatherings and food events are its natural home.
The Solar Porta Potty runs its light and fan off a panel, which helps on open ground, park projects, and evening events with no power nearby.
The Handwashing Station carries clean water, soap, and towels. Set one beside every food vendor.
The Restroom Trailer gives you several stalls, running water, and heat or cooling, which matters in a Columbus February and a Columbus July alike.
Not sure what you need? Describe the crowd or the crew to your account manager and they'll shape the order.
A unit on private property, a driveway, a fenced lot, or a job site, needs no City permit in Columbus. Public space is where the paperwork starts.
Streets and sidewalks: Anyone who wants to occupy a street, sidewalk, alley, or public right of way for something other than construction needs written consent from the Department of Public Service. Street and sidewalk occupancy permits are the two forms, and a sidewalk permit has to leave six feet of clear walking room at all times.
Timing and limits: File at least five working days ahead, and ten working days if you're closing a full lane. No occupancy permit runs more than five consecutive days, and the City will not issue them back to back. Structures over 200 square feet are off the table, and so is any cooking in the right of way. If you block metered spaces, you pay the full daily meter charge on each one.
Events: A special event permit is due 60 days before your date. You need one when more than 100 people gather in a park, when a street closes, when you charge admission on public property, or when your tents pass 400 square feet. A park activity on its own needs 14 days, and a residential block party needs 30. Church festivals, fairs, and cookouts go through the special event route, not the block party route. The Special Events Office answers at 614-645-4375.
Food vendors: Columbus Public Health wants a temporary food license application and payment at least five business days ahead, and the form asks the vendor to describe the handwashing setup and how the wastewater will be caught. A handwashing station answers both questions.
Your account manager can help you work out which desk your site needs before delivery day.
A few minutes on placement saves real time on every visit.
Set units on firm, level ground. Central Ohio clay holds water, so a graded lot after a spring rain can bog a service truck. Plywood or gravel under the unit keeps it upright and the approach usable. Leave a clear lane with room for the truck to turn, and watch overhead wires on older streets.
Keep units at least 15 feet from food service and well away from storm drains and creeks. On a job site, place them inside about 200 feet of the work so your crew isn't walking the site to use one.
Winter matters here. Plow piles and salt ridges block service access, and a unit frozen into a berm is a wasted trip. Keep the approach cleared and let your account manager know if your site gets drifted in.
Most rentals get one weekly service visit. Ohio is firm about who may do it: state rules require a registered septage hauler to empty a portable toilet before its capacity is exceeded, that hauler registers with the local board of health every year, and every pump truck needs its own board of health permit. The units themselves must be watertight and reachable for pumping. Columbus runs the Jackson Pike and Southerly plants, which handle the wastewater from the city and 25 contracting suburbs. Your account manager can confirm your service schedule and the registered route your waste takes.

Most Columbus orders go out within 24 to 48 hours. Three to five days of notice lets us hold exactly the units you want. For festival season, a graduation weekend, or a fall wedding, book several weeks ahead, because central Ohio's calendar stacks up from May through October.

Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges porta potty delivery throughout Columbus and the communities around it, including Worthington, Clintonville, Bexley, Grandview Heights, New Albany, Blacklick, Grove City, and Hilliard. Whether your site is a warehouse build near Rickenbacker, a street festival downtown, or a home addition inside the outerbelt, we plan delivery, service, and pickup around your schedule.
A standard unit in Columbus averages $199–$349, and an ADA-compliant unit averages $200–$300. Deluxe units run $300–$400, and restroom trailers start at $1,500. Unit count, rental length, and service frequency all move the number. Your account manager confirms the final price in your free quote.
Plan 1 unit per 50 guests at an event running about four hours. Add 15 to 20 percent when alcohol is served, and more for all-day events or hot weather. Add at least one accessible unit if the public is invited, and put a handwashing station beside any food vendor.
Ohio follows the federal table on private job sites. A crew of 20 or fewer needs at least 1 facility. Above that, plan 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal for every 40 workers, and 1 per 50 once the crew passes 200. Your account manager can size the order to your crew.
One service visit a week is standard. The driver pumps the tank, cleans and sanitizes the inside, and restocks paper and sanitizer. Ohio rules say the unit must be emptied before it fills, so busy crews and event weekends often get two visits. Your account manager sets the schedule.
Usually not. A unit on private property in Columbus needs no City permit. You will need an occupancy permit once any part of it sits in a street, alley, or sidewalk, and a park or street event brings its own permit and deadline. Your account manager can point you to the right office.
A standard unit suits one person stepping up into it. An ADA unit opens at ground level with a wide door, grab bars, and floor space to turn a wheelchair. Events open to the public need accessible units in each group. Crew-only job sites follow different rules.
A standard unit averages $199–$349, and those ranges cover a standard three-day rental. A Saturday-only event usually costs what the full weekend does, so take all three days. Deluxe units and restroom trailers run higher. Your account manager confirms your weekend price and drop window.
