Find Sustainable Porta Potty
in Medford
Prime Dumpster provides porta potty rentals throughout Medford, Massachusetts, from Medford Square and the Mystic River banks to West Medford, South Medford, Fulton Heights, Lawrence Estates and the Wellington area by Route 16 and Interstate 93. Construction here includes apartment and mixed-use buildings near Wellington and the Square, university projects on the Tufts side of the city, home renovations and the street, sidewalk and utility work the city schedules each season. Events include riverfront gatherings along the Mystic, school and university ceremonies, youth sports, block parties and family celebrations.
Medford separates street and sidewalk permits from health permits, and this guide explains both, along with our prices and the Massachusetts unit count rules.
Where the unit sits is the first price question in Medford. A unit inside a fenced lot near Wellington is quick to service, while one that has to go on a sidewalk in the Square needs a permit and careful timing, which adds cost.
The length and size of the job come next. A renovation on a two-family house might need one standard unit for a month or two, while a mid-rise build with a large crew needs several units on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, and the longer contract earns a better rate.
The guest list shapes event pricing. A public ceremony or riverfront gathering needs accessible units in each cluster, while a private backyard party can use standard or deluxe units.

The porta potty calculator gives a starting figure, and your account manager adjusts it for your Medford site or event.
Choose the unit by who will use it and for how long. Specifications for all seven are on the porta potty options page.
Tell your account manager about the job and they will choose the right mix.
On private property, Medford lists no permit for a portable restroom. A unit in a Medford driveway, yard or fenced job site is treated as site equipment, and on a permitted build it is part of the job.
Sidewalk placement goes through the Engineering Division. Medford's Engineering Division issues permits to owners, developers and private utility companies for sidewalk occupancy, trenching, curb cuts and driveway work, and applications must be submitted online. Those are the applicants the City names. If you are an event organizer rather than a property owner or developer, ask the Engineering Division which route applies to you. The office is in City Hall, Room 300, on 781-393-2474. We never promise a sidewalk or street placement before the City has approved it.
Health and sanitation questions go to the Board of Health. Medford's Health and Human Services Department lists the transportation of wastes and dumpster and trash areas among the activities its inspectors cover, alongside food, pools, housing and private sewage disposal. That means the City treats the hauling of waste as a regulated activity. The department is in City Hall, Room 311, on 781-393-2560, and your account manager asks it directly what a servicing company needs for your placement.
The code. Medford's ordinances are published by a national code publisher that asks automated readers not to collect its pages, so the ordinance text is not reflected here.
Place units on firm, level ground that the service truck can reach easily. Keep them at least 15 feet from food areas, away from storm drains that feed the Mystic River or the Malden River, and within about 200 feet of users. In Medford Square and South Medford, choose a spot where the truck can stop without blocking a bus route or a narrow street.
For an event, set small clusters near entrances and food areas, each with an accessible unit. On a construction site, keep the units near the street edge so the truck can reach them once materials arrive.
Massachusetts classes Medford portable toilet waste as septage. The Medford hauler holds a septage permit from a local board of health and has to account for where the waste is taken. A route serving Medford and Somerville or Malden may need approvals in each city. Your account manager confirms the schedule and disposal point in writing.

Most Medford orders arrive within 24 to 48 hours, and three to five days covers a particular model or a larger order. Book graduation season and summer weekends early, and allow extra time for any sidewalk or street permit.

Prime Dumpster also serves Malden 3 miles east, Melrose 5 miles northeast, Cambridge 5 miles south, Chelsea 5 miles east, Woburn 6 miles northwest and Revere 6 miles east. Route 16, Route 28 and Interstate 93 connect these short runs, so a Medford booking often shares a service trip with a neighboring city.
Standard units are $199–$349 and accessible units $200–$300. Deluxe flushing and sink models run $300–$400, solar units $500–$600, handwashing stations $150–$250, and restroom trailers start from $1,500. In Medford, placement and permits often affect the total more than the unit.
Medford publishes no event ratio, so start at one unit per 50 guests over four hours and add 15 to 20 percent with alcohol. Massachusetts requires an accessible unit in each public Medford cluster. Your account manager adjusts the count for your peak hour and layout.
A private Medford site follows the federal table: one toilet for 20 or fewer workers, then one seat and one urinal per 40, and per 50 above 200. Handwashing is required. A site used only by the trades does not need an accessible unit.
Most Medford sites take weekly service, with more visits for busy events and large crews. Each service pumps the tank, cleans the unit and restocks supplies. The hauler holds a septage permit from a local board of health, as Massachusetts requires.
Medford lists no permit for a portable restroom on private land. Sidewalk occupancy permits come from the Engineering Division for owners, developers and utilities. Any other public placement needs approval from the office that controls that ground.
On a Medford job the standard unit is a compact stall with a toilet, urinal and sanitizer. The ADA unit is larger, with a level entry, grab bars and turning room for a wheelchair. Massachusetts wants one in each public cluster at a Medford event, marked with the accessibility symbol.
A weekend falls within our standard rental period, so normal pricing applies: $199–$349 for a standard unit, $300–$400 for a deluxe flushing model and $150–$250 for a handwashing station. Your account manager schedules delivery and collection around your Medford event.
Tell us about your event or project and your zip code. We will size the order, check the sidewalk and health questions with the City, and plan placement around your site.
Your Prime Dumpster account manager keeps the count, the service days, the permit status and the delivery window together for every Medford job.
