Find Sustainable Porta Potty
in Memphis
At Prime Dumpster, we provide porta potty rentals throughout Memphis, Tennessee, and the Shelby County suburbs east of it. Warehouse and distribution construction near the airport and the river port, street festivals and parades downtown, church and school events across the neighborhoods, and cleanup after a spring storm all put portable toilets to work in this city.
Your cost comes down to the unit you choose, how many you need, how long you keep them and how often a truck comes out. The sections below cover price ranges, sizing your order, the City offices that handle each approval, and how placement works on a Memphis site.
The ranges above cover a standard three day rental, the usual shape of a weekend booking in Memphis. A single Saturday and a Friday through Sunday run tend to price the same way.
Longer work is handled on a four week cycle instead, which fits a warehouse build or a road job, and the weekly cost evens out once the units are standing.
Then there is servicing. Each visit pumps and rinses the tank, cleans the inside and refills paper and sanitizer. July and August here are brutal, and a heavy crew or a crowded festival will want more than one visit a week.
Finally, the site itself. A level pad beside a paved drive is quick work. A unit set out in a river bottom field, behind a gated yard or down a narrow residential street takes longer to reach and to service. Your account manager will go through the details with you before we schedule anything.

A long summer afternoon in Memphis raises usage more than people expect. Start with our porta potty calculator, then have your account manager confirm the count.
Choose by who uses the unit and for how long. All of them are compared on our porta potty options page.
The Standard Porta Potty is the everyday unit for job sites, yard projects and informal gatherings, with a toilet, urinal, paper holder and sanitizer.
The ADA-Compliant Porta Potty has a wide door, ground-level entry, grab bars and turning space for a wheelchair. Every public event needs one.
The Deluxe Flushing Porta Potty flushes like a household toilet, which is why it shows up at receptions and guest-facing parties.
The Deluxe Porta Potty with Sink has a sink, soap and mirror built in, good for family events and anything near a food line.
The Solar Porta Potty powers its light and fan from the sun, which suits farm ground, levee work and sites with no service yet.
The Handwashing Station holds clean water, soap and towels, and it is the piece health inspectors look for beside a food booth.
The Restroom Trailer offers private stalls, running water and air conditioning, which is close to essential for a summer wedding here.
Unsure where to land? Describe the crowd or the crew to your account manager and they'll build the order.
On private ground, your yard, a parking lot you control or a fenced job site, you normally need no City permit in Memphis. Public space is where approvals begin.
Public events: Parades, races and similar events go through the City Permits Office, and the application is filed at least 90 calendar days and no more than 180 days before the event. Plan on showing a state issued ID, and expect to notify the residents and businesses along your route and prove that you did. There is an application fee, plus an added charge when a street, sidewalk or right-of-way is closed or traffic is diverted. The Permits Office sits at 2714 Union Extended, Suite 100.
Street closures: A closure needs a traffic control plan worked out with Traffic Engineering, along with barricade details covering who sets them, when they go up and when they come down. That same plan is the right place to show where your units will stand.
Downtown parks and Beale Street: Events in the downtown riverfront parks go through the Memphis River Parks Partnership for a park usage permit, and a Beale Street event brings in the merchants association as well. Ask about unit placement early, because those spaces are tight.
Food vendors: All food permits in the county come from the Shelby County Health Department, which is open weekdays from 8:30 in the morning until 4:00 in the afternoon. A temporary food stand needs toilets and a handwashing setup for its workers, which in practice means a water container with a spigot, soap, paper towels and a bucket to catch the dirty water.
If you can't tell which office covers your spot, your account manager can track down the right contact before delivery.
Where a unit sits decides how easy the rest of the rental is.
Choose firm, level ground. Memphis loess soil turns soft fast in a heavy rain, and a unit on a slope or in a soggy low spot can tip. Leave the truck a clear straight approach with no low limbs or parked cars blocking it, and keep the door swinging free.
Hold units about 15 feet off any food service, and keep them away from storm drains, bayous and drainage ditches. On a job site, set them close enough that a crew isn't walking several minutes each way. Downtown, remember the sidewalk has to stay passable.
Weekly servicing is the baseline and busy sites need more. Memphis has its own rules for where this waste ends up. The City classifies what comes out of a portable toilet as holding-tank waste, issues special permits for disposing of portable toilet wastewater, and does not allow anyone to put that waste into the sewer system without a permit that names the discharge. Haulers also need the City's approval before bringing a load to the treatment plant, and the City can ask for a tracking form on every load.
The city runs two treatment plants, Stiles and Maxson, and that is where approved loads go. Your account manager can explain how the service schedule for your units is arranged.

Most Memphis orders can be delivered inside 24 to 48 hours. Three to five days of lead time lets us match the units to the job properly. For a festival weekend, a graduation, a wedding or anything downtown in May, book several weeks ahead, since the whole city competes for the same supply.

Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges porta potty delivery across Memphis and the rest of Shelby County, including Germantown, Bartlett, Collierville, Cordova, Millington, Arlington, Lakeland and Whitehaven, along with the nearby communities across the state lines in West Memphis and Southaven. Whether your site is downtown, out past Wolfchase or along the Mississippi, we plan delivery, servicing and pickup around your schedule.
A standard porta potty in Memphis averages $199–$349, and an ADA-compliant unit averages $200–$300. Deluxe flushing units and sink units run $300–$400, and restroom trailers start at $1,500. Unit count, rental length and service frequency set your total. Your account manager confirms the number in a free quote.
Plan 1 unit for every 50 guests at a four hour event, and add 15 to 20 percent when alcohol is served. Longer events and hot Memphis afternoons need more again. Add at least one accessible unit when the public is invited, and a handwashing station beside any food. Your account manager can check the plan.
Tennessee has adopted the national construction rules, so the federal table applies. A crew of 20 or fewer needs 1 facility. Above that, plan 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal for every 40 workers, then 1 of each per 50 above 200 workers. Your account manager can size the order to your crew.
Weekly service is the standard. The driver pumps the tank, cleans and sanitizes the interior and restocks paper and sanitizer. Big crews, public events and Memphis summer heat often call for two or three visits a week. Your account manager will set the rhythm around how hard the units get used.
Usually not. A unit on your own lot, driveway or fenced job site needs no City permit in Memphis. Approval is needed once a unit sits in a street, on a sidewalk, in a City park or as part of a public event. Your account manager can point you to the right office before you book.
A standard unit suits one person who can step up into it. An ADA unit has a wider door, a ground-level entry, grab bars and room to turn a wheelchair. Public events need accessible units in every cluster of toilets. Units used only by a construction crew are exempt from that requirement.
A standard unit averages $199–$349, and weekend rentals are written as a three day rental. One Saturday usually costs about what the full Friday through Sunday costs. Flushing units, sink units and restroom trailers price above that. Your account manager confirms your weekend total and the delivery window.
