Find Sustainable Porta Potty
in Nashville
At Prime Dumpster, we provide porta potty rentals throughout Nashville, Tennessee, and the rest of Davidson County. Demand here never really slows: apartment and office construction across the city, road and utility work, downtown festivals and race weekends, outdoor weddings, church picnics, and the steady run of events on Metro streets and in Metro parks.
What you pay depends on the units you choose, how many you take, how long they stay on site, and how often a driver services them. Below you'll find price ranges, counts for crews and crowds, the Metro permits that apply, and how quickly we can get units out to you.
Each range above is for a standard three-day rental, the way a weekend event is normally written up. On a construction project the units are billed in four-week cycles, which lowers the cost per day over a long build.
Downtown access is the big local variable. A unit going to a tower site off Broadway or a tight lot in The Gulch takes more time to place and more time to service than one dropped on an open pad in Antioch or Bellevue. Expect that difference to show in the quote.
Calendar pressure matters just as much. Festival season, big game weekends, and spring graduations all pull units in the same direction at once. Booking early is usually worth more than any other saving you can chase here.
Then there's the mix. Standard units are the cheapest way to cover a crowd, while a restroom trailer costs more but changes how a wedding feels. Your account manager can quote two or three versions of the same order so you can see the trade.

Metro does not publish a guest-per-unit figure. What it does is ask you for yours: the event permit application has a section for your unit supplier, the number of units, and the number of accessible units. Metro Fire also wants a clear lane at least 20 feet wide through your event footprint, so pick your unit locations with that path in mind.
Our porta potty calculator will get you a number in a minute, and your account manager can sanity-check it against your layout.
Match the unit to the people using it. All of them sit side by side on our porta potty options page.
The Standard Porta Potty is the workhorse: toilet, urinal, paper holder, and hand sanitizer. It covers job sites, road crews, and casual gatherings.
The ADA-Compliant Porta Potty has a wide door, a flat entry, grab bars, and turning space for a wheelchair. Plan at least one for anything the public can walk into.
The Deluxe Flushing Porta Potty flushes and controls odor better, which matters at a reception or a ticketed event.
The Deluxe Porta Potty with Sink holds a sink, soap, and mirror inside the unit, so guests can wash up on the spot.
The Solar Porta Potty powers its light and fan from the sun. It's the pick for a park site, a rural venue in the county, or an early-stage build with no power yet.
The Handwashing Station is a stand-alone sink with clean water, soap, and towels. One belongs at every food area.
The Restroom Trailer offers multiple stalls, running water, and climate control for weddings, corporate events, and long-running sites.
Lay out your plans for your account manager and they'll build the right combination for your crowd.
On private property, a unit in your driveway, your yard, or a fenced job site normally needs no Metro permit. The rules change the moment the unit touches public ground or joins a public event.
Metro right-of-way: All right-of-way permits go through Metro's online system, and the fee schedule covers each type of work. A temporary sidewalk closure runs $160 for up to five days, and placing a trailer, container, or storage unit in the right-of-way runs $10 a day. Metro posted a new right-of-way fee schedule in 2026, so check the live page before you budget. The transportation department can be reached at 615-862-5000.
Events: Here's the part that surprises people. In Nashville, putting portable toilets out for public use is itself one of the triggers for a special event permit, alongside closing a street, selling food, or setting up a large tent. The Office of Film and Special Events runs that process. Applications are taken up to a year ahead and no later than 45 days before the date, and anything filed later than that is turned down. Every event also files a street, lane, or sidewalk closure application on top of the event permit.
Block parties: A residential block party closure is free and good for one day, but you need signatures from 66 percent of the households inside the closure and a notice letter mailed two weeks ahead. Businesses can't use this route and need a full special event permit.
State highways: Several routes through the county are state roads. Work in that right-of-way goes through the Tennessee Department of Transportation, which covers Davidson County from its Region 3 office here in Nashville.
Food vendors: Davidson County runs its own food permitting rather than using the state program, so stands are permitted by Food Protection Services at the Metro Public Health Department, 311 23rd Avenue North, 615-340-5620. Its temporary event rules require each booth to have a five-gallon warm water container with a spigot for handwashing, plus soap and disposable towels, and they forbid pouring waste water on the ground. A handwashing station handles both at once.
If you can't tell who controls your spot, your account manager can help you find the right Metro office before delivery day.
Pick a firm, level spot. Nashville's hillier neighborhoods leave a lot of sloped ground, and a unit set on a grade is unpleasant and less stable. Give the truck a clear run in, clear of low limbs, tight alley corners, and parked cars.
Keep units at least 15 feet back from food service and away from wells, creek banks, and storm inlets. On a job site, hold them inside about 200 feet of the work face. At an event, split the units into groups to shorten lines, put an accessible unit in each group, and keep the fire lane open.
A standard rental includes a weekly service visit: pump the tank, wash and sanitize the inside, restock paper and sanitizer. A long festival weekend or a crew of fifty usually wants more than that, and Nashville summers push the same way. Your account manager can set the pattern around your busiest days.
Tennessee requires a state permit to pump and move this waste. The state environment department issues pumper permits covering removal of septage from portable toilets, and the load then goes to a plant that accepts it. Nashville's own sewage is reclaimed at Metro Water Services' three facilities, Central, Dry Creek, and Whites Creek, which together handle about 186 million gallons a day and up to 500 million in heavy rain. Your account manager can confirm who services your units and when.

Most Nashville deliveries land within 24 to 48 hours of booking. Three to five days of notice gives us more choice of unit types. For a downtown festival, a race weekend, or a spring wedding, book several weeks ahead, since the whole city competes for the same dates.

Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges porta potty delivery across Nashville and Davidson County, including downtown, East Nashville, Germantown, The Nations, Antioch, Bellevue, Donelson, Hermitage, Green Hills, and Goodlettsville. We also serve the suburbs just outside the county line, from Brentwood and Franklin to Mount Juliet, Smyrna, and Hendersonville. Downtown block or a farm venue off the interstate, we plan delivery, service, and pickup around your dates.
A standard porta potty in Nashville averages $199 to $349 per unit, and an accessible unit averages $200 to $300. Deluxe units run $300 to $400, and a restroom trailer starts at $1,500. Your total turns on the number of units, the rental length, and the service schedule. Your account manager prices it all in your free quote.
Start with one unit for every 50 guests at a four-hour event, then add 15 to 20 percent more if alcohol is served. A 300-guest festival works out to six units, plus handwashing stations near food. Any event open to the public should include at least one accessible unit in each group of units.
Tennessee enforces the federal count, so a crew of 20 or fewer needs at least one toilet. Larger crews need one toilet seat and one urinal for every 40 workers. Keep the units near the work face and plan a weekly cleaning visit. Your account manager can add units as the crew grows.
A standard rental covers one visit a week. The driver pumps the tank, scrubs and sanitizes the inside, and restocks paper and hand sanitizer. Festival weekends, big crews, and Nashville's summer humidity often justify two visits. Your account manager can match the schedule to your site.
Usually not. A unit on your own yard, driveway, or fenced job site needs no Metro permit. Public ground is different, and you need a right-of-way permit through Metro's online system. At a public event, the units themselves can trigger a Metro special event permit even when nothing else about the event does.
A standard unit is a compact single stall. An accessible unit is wider, with a flat entry, a wide doorway, grab bars, and space to turn a wheelchair. Federal standards ask for about one accessible unit in every twenty at a public event. Units used only by a construction crew are exempt from that rule.
Weekend rentals are written as three days, so a one-day event costs about the same as the full weekend. A standard unit averages $199 to $349, a deluxe flushing unit averages $300 to $400, and a handwashing station averages $150 to $250. Your account manager confirms delivery and pickup times with you.
