Find Sustainable Porta Potty
in Frankfort
At Prime Dumpster, we provide porta potty rentals across Frankfort, Kentucky, and the Franklin County communities along the Kentucky River. Being the Commonwealth's capital shapes the work: state building and campus projects, downtown and historic district renovation behind the floodwall, highway and utility construction on the approaches into town, and a steady calendar of public events, festivals, and race-week gatherings that draw crowds to the riverfront and the Capitol grounds.
What you pay comes down to the unit, the quantity, the length of the booking, and the service pattern on top. Below are our ranges, the count that governs a Franklin County job site, how the City handles the right of way, and how quickly delivery can be scheduled.
Frankfort is a compact capital with a river through the middle, so what moves delivery cost here is which side of the water and the hills your site sits on rather than raw mileage.
Booking length then takes over. Our ranges assume roughly three days on site, which is why a single Saturday and a two-night weekend usually come out level. A state building project or a long renovation moves to four-week pricing with weekly service included.
The third factor is the audience. A public event on the Capitol grounds or at the riverfront is a guest-facing order: flushing units, a unit with a sink inside, or a restroom trailer, each of which costs more to deliver and more to service than a standard stall. A fenced crew site is the opposite, and a plain standard unit is usually the right call.
Service frequency finishes the picture. Weekly suits a steady crew, and a hot festival weekend wants two visits or daily cover. Because Kentucky sets no servicing interval for this product, the interval you get is the one you agree, which is a good reason to have it in writing.

Request a Quote NowKentucky is an interesting case, and it is worth a minute because the obvious reading is wrong. The Commonwealth runs its own workplace safety agency and it reaches every private employer in the state, not just public bodies. That makes it look like a state with its own tighter sanitation table. It does not have one.
Start with our porta potty calculator, then let your account manager check it against your crowd curve or your shift pattern.
Pick by who will use it and for how long. All of the models are described on the porta potty options page.
The Standard Porta Potty handles most Frankfort jobs: a private stall with toilet, urinal, paper holder, and sanitizer.
The ADA-Compliant Porta Potty is the wider unit with a level threshold, grab bars, and turning space. One goes in every group at a public event, and the Capitol grounds and riverfront gatherings here are exactly that.
The Deluxe Flushing Porta Potty has a flushing bowl and much better odor control, which is what a wedding or a reception needs.
The Deluxe Porta Potty with Sink builds the sink, soap, and mirror into the stall, so guests are not sent to a second unit to wash.
The Solar Porta Potty powers its light and vent from a roof panel, which pays off on a rural site or an evening booking with no power nearby.
The Handwashing Station is the freestanding unit the federal rule requires on a job site, with fresh water, soap, and single-use towels, and it belongs beside any food stand.
The Restroom Trailer arrives with several private stalls, running water, and heating or cooling, the right answer for guest-facing events and long projects.
Tell your account manager what the day looks like and they will set the mix.
On private ground, no. The City asks for nothing before a unit stands on a lot, a driveway, or a fenced site, and where a building permit is already open the restroom is part of the site setup.
The right of way is where Frankfort is clearer than most cities, although the published rule is written for a different product.
The City publishes a right-of-way permit for a container. Its Dumpster and POD permit page says that if a dumpster or a storage container is placed within the city right of way it must be permitted with the City, and the fee is $25. The City also states plainly that it does not provide or service those items itself, which means there is no competing municipal channel to work around. Applications go to the Public Works office, and payment can be made at the counter or by card over the phone.
A portable restroom is not named in that permit, so ask rather than assume. The City has not published a restroom equivalent, and we will not pretend the container permit covers one. What the page tells you is that Frankfort does regulate temporary objects standing in its right of way and has a counter to handle them. Call Public Works before a unit goes anywhere near a street, sidewalk, or alley, and get the answer in writing.
Who to call: Public Works at 315 West Second Street takes permit questions on 502-352-2088, Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Card payments can also go through on 502-875-8500. Fire and EMS, at 300 West Second Street on 502-875-8511, will attend community events on request, and they are a useful early call for a large gathering even though they set no sanitation condition.
Events: the City publishes no restroom requirement, no ratio, and no accessible share for an event in Frankfort, and neither does the Commonwealth. That absence is real and it means the count on your plan is your own decision. Ask the City what it expects for your venue and date, build the number from the planning figures above, and have your account manager confirm the units, the interval, and the delivery window before you make that call.
Put units on firm, level ground with a clear approach for a service truck. Keep them at least 15 feet from food service, clear of inlets draining toward the Kentucky River, and inside roughly 200 feet of the crew. At an event, group them where footfall is heaviest and set an accessible model in each group. On the downtown grid behind the floodwall, check a pumper can reach the spot you have chosen, because a lane that suits a pickup often will not.
Kentucky is as light on the servicing side of this product as it is on the counting side. The Commonwealth publishes no portable sanitation chapter, no event restroom table, and no prescribed interval for emptying a unit. Its waste collection registration runs to the county rather than the state and is written around household and municipal waste, so it does not reach a portable restroom.
What follows is worth saying plainly: in Frankfort the service schedule is a contractual matter rather than a regulated one. Nobody will tell you that weekly is enough or that twice weekly is required, which makes the written agreement the only record you will have.
Our baseline is weekly for a steady crew. Heat, heavy use, or a public event pushes that to twice a week or to daily cover across an event weekend. Every visit empties the tank, sanitizes the interior of the unit, and restocks paper, soap, and towels. Where the waste goes is a treatment works rather than a field, and your account manager confirms both the interval and the destination before delivery so that the file is straight from the start.

Most Frankfort orders go out within 24 to 48 hours, and three to five days gets you the exact models you asked for. Rural Franklin County addresses may need an extra day to fit a route. Capitol-area events, festival weekends, and race week fill early, so give those several weeks.
Five habits that keep a Frankfort delivery on schedule:
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges porta potty delivery throughout Frankfort and the surrounding Franklin, Scott, Woodford, and Shelby County communities, including Versailles, Midway, Lawrenceburg, Shelbyville, Switzer, Peaks Mill, and Bridgeport. The porta potty pages linked below are our nearest in central Kentucky, all inside 52 road miles, which puts the whole Bluegrass corridor on one planning map.
A standard unit is $199–$349 and an accessible one $200–$300. Deluxe flushing and sink models run $300–$400, solar units $500–$600, and restroom trailers start from $1,500. A handwashing station is $150–$250, and the federal rule requires one on a job site.
Neither the City nor the Commonwealth publishes a figure, so begin at one unit for every 50 guests across about four hours and add 15 to 20 percent where alcohol is served. Keep an accessible model in each group. Your account manager will adjust for peak crowd, food service, and site spread.
The national figure applies in Kentucky: one facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 above that. A washing facility is required too. Kentucky runs a full private-sector safety agency, but it adopts the federal sanitation rule rather than writing a tighter table.
Weekly is our baseline and twice weekly suits heavy use or hot weather. Each visit empties the tank, sanitizes the interior, and restocks consumables. Kentucky prescribes no interval for a portable restroom, so the schedule in your agreement is the one that governs, which is why we put it in writing.
No. There is no City permit for a portable toilet standing on private ground, including a driveway or a fenced site. The right of way is different. Frankfort permits containers placed in it and has not published a restroom equivalent, so confirm any curbside position with Public Works first.
A standard unit is one narrow stall with a toilet, urinal, and sanitizer. The accessible model is wider, has a flat threshold instead of a step, and gives grab bars with clear space for a wheelchair to turn. Anywhere the public is invited should carry an accessible unit in every group.
Our ranges are built around a three-day window, so a weekend is the ordinary case rather than a premium. Allow $199–$349 for a standard unit, $300–$400 for a deluxe flushing model, and $150–$250 for a handwashing station. Your account manager times the drop and the pickup around your schedule.
Tell us about your event or project and your zip code. We will put the count and the service interval in writing, give you the right City contact if your placement touches public ground, and price it on the call.
