Find Sustainable Porta Potty
in Milwaukee
At Prime Dumpster, we provide porta potty rentals across Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the suburbs around it. The units serve construction and street crews on the near south side and in the Menomonee Valley, roofing and foundation work through the short building season, parish festivals and block party event weekends, lakefront runs, farmers markets, and the tailgates that fill a Brewers parking lot.
What you pay depends on which unit you take, how many, how long you keep them, and how often a truck services them. Below are our ranges, the counts we plan from, the City permits that matter here, and how fast we can get a unit to you.
Each range here reflects a standard three-day rental, which is how Milwaukee event orders are written. A single Saturday and a Friday through Sunday usually come to the same total, so there is rarely a reason to shorten your dates.
Construction work runs on a longer clock. A rehab on the south side or a build out by the airport is normally billed in four-week cycles with the weekly cleaning visit already included.
Milwaukee's season shapes everything. May through September is one long run of festivals, weddings, and construction, and that is when units get tight. Winter work is quieter but costs more time, because a plowed and salted path to the unit is part of the job.
Access is the last variable. A unit in a paved lot with a straight approach is quick. A unit in a tight alley off a bungalow block, behind a locked gate, or down in the Valley takes the driver longer. Tell your account manager what the approach looks like and your quote will reflect it.

Milwaukee does not publish a guest-to-unit ratio, so those are our figures, not a City rule. The City does publish a planning guide for making temporary events accessible to people with disabilities, which is worth a read before you set your layout. Our porta potty calculator gives you a starting number, and your account manager will finish the job.
Match the unit to the people using it. The whole range sits on our porta potty options page.
The Standard Porta Potty is the everyday choice, with a toilet, urinal, paper holder, and sanitizer. It suits crews, yard work, and smaller gatherings.
The ADA-Compliant Porta Potty enters at ground level, with a wide door, grab bars, and turning space for a wheelchair. Any event open to the public needs one.
The Deluxe Flushing Porta Potty flushes and holds odor down, a clear step up for a wedding or a graduation party.
The Deluxe Porta Potty with Sink builds a sink, soap, and mirror into the unit, which helps at family events and near food.
The Solar Porta Potty runs its light and fan on solar power, useful on riverfront work, park projects, and evening events with no outlet.
The Handwashing Station is a free-standing sink with fresh water, soap, and towels. Put one at every food stand.
The Restroom Trailer gives you several stalls, running water, and heating or cooling, which matters at a late-season wedding on the lake.
Not sure where to land? Your account manager will build the mix with you.
A unit on private ground, like your own yard, a driveway, or a fenced job site, normally needs no City permit. Public ground is where the process starts.
Streets and the right-of-way: Permits for events in the public right-of-way come from the Department of Public Works Special Event Permit Office. That office coordinates street closures with the police department, the DPW traffic division, and the county transit system, so plan around transit routes if your block carries a bus line.
Deadlines: A special event permit application has to be submitted online at least 30 days before the event date, and at least 90 days for a Downtown event. A block party application is due at least two weeks ahead. Anything filed late is charged a late fee.
What the application needs: A race, parade, or march needs a detailed route map, and a festival or other large event needs a site map. Your application then goes to the alderperson for that district, and the permit is issued only with that alderperson's approval. You also have to collect signatures of consent from the property owners the event affects, and hand out flyers to people living or working in the area at least a week ahead.
Other approvals: The City keeps a short list of additional permits an event may need. Selling food, selling alcohol, selling merchandise, and carnival rides all go through the City Clerk's License Division at 414-286-2238. Tents over 600 square feet and bleachers go to the Development Center at 414-286-8210. A water supply or sewer connection goes to Neighborhood Services at 414-286-3361. Portable toilets are not on that list, which is a good sign for a unit on private ground, though a unit in a street still rides on the right-of-way permit.
If you can't tell whose ground your spot sits on, your account manager can help you find the right office before delivery.
Where a unit sits matters more in a dense city than almost anywhere else.
Choose firm, level ground. An alley apron, a driveway, or a paved lot all work. Soft spring ground along the rivers or a lawn after a thaw will let a unit lean. Give the driver a straight approach and watch for low garage overhangs, narrow alley entries, and cars left in the way.
Keep units at least 15 feet from food service and well back from catch basins, the rivers, and the lakefront. On a job site, place them within about 200 feet of the crew. At an event, split them into clusters, and leave the accessible units on a firm, flat path with room to turn.
A standard rental includes one cleaning visit a week. Festival weekends, big crews, and hot stretches often call for two or three.
Milwaukee's wastewater goes to the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, which serves 29 communities in southeastern Wisconsin. Its Jones Island and South Shore reclamation facilities clean about 150 million gallons on a dry day, with capacity for up to 630 million gallons a day in heavy rain. Wisconsin names portable restrooms directly in its hauling rules: a septage business that services them must be state licensed, each service vehicle has to be inspected and registered, and the business has to name a certified operator in charge. The state even runs a public database so you can confirm that a hauler is licensed. Your account manager can set the service schedule and talk through placement.

Most Milwaukee orders can be delivered within 24 to 48 hours. Three to five days of notice is better, because it lets us hold the units you want. For a summer wedding or a festival weekend, plan several weeks out, and remember a City event permit is due 30 days ahead, or 90 days Downtown.
Five things that keep delivery smooth:
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges porta potty delivery across the City of Milwaukee and the communities beside it, including West Allis, Wauwatosa, Greenfield, Cudahy, St. Francis, South Milwaukee, Oak Creek, Franklin, Shorewood, Whitefish Bay, Glendale, Brown Deer, and Brookfield. Whether your project is a bungalow rehab on the south side, a build in the Valley, or a festival on the lakefront, we plan the drop, the service visits, and the pickup around your dates.
A standard unit averages $199–$349 and an ADA-compliant unit averages $200–$300. Deluxe flushing and sink units run $300–$400, solar units $500–$600, and restroom trailers start at $1,500. Unit count, rental length, and cleaning frequency move the total. Your account manager confirms it in your free quote.
Work from 1 unit per 50 guests over about four hours, then add 15 to 20 percent when alcohol is served. A 200-guest parish festival lands around five units. Put a handwashing station beside the food stand, and include at least one accessible unit if the public is welcome.
Wisconsin follows the federal construction rule. A crew of 20 or fewer needs one facility. Above 20 workers it becomes one toilet seat and one urinal per 40, and above 200 workers one of each per 50. Tell your account manager when the crew grows so the order keeps up.
Once a week is the standard. The driver pumps the tank, washes the bowl and floor, wipes the surfaces, and restocks paper and sanitizer. Hot July weekends, large crews, and multi-day festivals often need two or three visits. Your account manager can match the schedule to your use.
Usually not. A unit on your own yard, driveway, or fenced job site needs no City permit, and portable toilets are not on the City's list of additional event permits. A unit in a street or an alley rides on the right-of-way permit from the Special Event Permit Office. Your account manager can help you check.
A standard unit is one compact stall with a toilet, urinal, and sanitizer. An ADA unit is wider, entered at ground level, and fitted with grab bars and turning space for a wheelchair. Public events need accessible units in each cluster, while units used only by a construction crew are exempt.
A weekend is the usual booking, since our ranges cover a standard three-day rental. A standard unit averages $199–$349, a deluxe flushing unit averages $300–$400, and a handwashing station averages $150–$250. Your account manager confirms the window, the drop time, and the pickup.
