Find Sustainable Porta Potty
in Portland
At Prime Dumpster, we provide porta potty rentals across Portland, Oregon, and the rest of the metro area. Construction keeps units busy here, from infill houses and backyard cottages in southeast neighborhoods to apartment and industrial work along the rivers. Events fill the rest of the year: street fairs, festivals in the parks, food cart pods, farmers markets, races, and weddings out in the Gorge and the valley.
What you pay depends on the units you pick, how many you need, how long they stay, and how often a driver services them. Below you'll find price ranges, counts for crews and crowds, the City and county rules that apply, and how fast we can get units to you.
The ranges above are for a standard three-day rental, which is how a weekend event is usually written up. A construction job runs on four-week cycles instead, so a long build costs less per day.
Oregon's worker-safety rules change the math on bigger projects. On a job estimated at $1,000,000 or more, the state requires flush toilets on site, plus wash basins with warm water and soap, and self-contained flush units count. That pushes a large site toward deluxe flushing units or a restroom trailer rather than standard units, and that shows in the quote.
Rain and ground conditions matter here too. A soft lot in February is slower to reach than the same lot in July, and a unit on a slope needs a prepared pad. Tell your account manager what the ground is like.
The calendar is the last factor. Festival season and the stretch of summer street fairs pull units at once, and the City restricts right-of-way use in busy retail districts during the Rose Festival and the holidays. Booking early is worth more than anything else you can do.

Oregon also sets an actual number for big outdoor events. If a gathering draws more than 3,000 people and runs longer than 24 hours, it needs a county permit, and the state's mass gathering rules call for seven toilets per 800 people and daily servicing of chemical toilets. That is the clearest published ratio you will find in this state, and it is a useful sanity check even for a smaller festival.
Our porta potty calculator gives you a quick figure, and your account manager can tune it to your site.
Pick the unit around the people using it. Every option is on our porta potty options page.
The Standard Porta Potty is the everyday unit, with a toilet, a urinal, a paper holder, and hand sanitizer. It covers smaller job sites, yard work, and casual gatherings.
The ADA-Compliant Porta Potty has a wide door, a flat entry, grab bars, and turning space for a wheelchair. Include at least one at anything open to the public.
The Deluxe Flushing Porta Potty flushes and controls odor better. On a large Oregon job site it is often the unit that meets the state's flush requirement.
The Deluxe Porta Potty with Sink puts a sink, soap, and mirror inside the unit, which helps at family events and near food.
The Solar Porta Potty powers its light and fan from the sun, a real advantage through Portland's dark winter months on a site with no power.
The Handwashing Station is a stand-alone sink with clean water, soap, and towels. The county requires one at every event food booth, so plan these in early.
The Restroom Trailer brings several stalls, running water, and climate control, for weddings, corporate events, and long-running sites.
Talk the job through with your account manager and they'll put the mix together.
On private property, a unit in your own yard, driveway, or fenced job site generally needs no City permit. The public right-of-way is where the paperwork starts.
Streets, sidewalks, and parking: The City's temporary street use permitting office issues permits to reserve parking, close a travel lane, close a sidewalk, or close a street. Processing matters more here than the fee: the City asks for at least eight business days for a closure permit, and 10 to 12 business days overall if your permit also reserves parking. Insurance is required for any sidewalk, lane, or street closure, and the insurance processing fee is $57. Using part of a travel lane while leaving a full lane open runs $125 a week, and changing a permit after the first change costs $30.
Moratorium weeks: The City limits right-of-way use in major retail districts during the Rose Festival in late spring and through the holiday season. If your project or event lands in those windows, raise it with your account manager early.
State highways: Several roads through the metro are state highways. Any use of one other than normal travel needs prior permission from the state transportation department, handled through its local maintenance district.
Large outdoor events: A gathering over 3,000 people lasting more than 24 hours needs a county mass gathering permit, with the toilet ratio and daily servicing described above.
Food vendors: Multnomah County licenses each temporary restaurant, and the county's page asks for the application at least two weeks ahead, with a hand washing station among the things it must have. A single event license runs $210, and a late application adds $100. County environmental health is at 847 NE 19th Avenue and can be reached at 503-988-3400. Event coordinators file their own checklist earlier than vendors do.
If you can't tell which office covers your spot, your account manager can help you find the right one before delivery.
Pick firm, level ground with room for the truck to work. Portland's wet months soften bare soil quickly, so a gravel pad or a paved surface pays for itself across a long rental. Watch for low branches, narrow driveways, and parked cars on the delivery route.
Keep units at least 15 feet from any food service and away from storm drains, creeks, and street inlets. On a job site, place them within easy reach of the crew, which in Oregon means inside a three-minute walk. At an event, split the units into groups, put an accessible unit in each, and keep the sidewalk passable.
A standard rental includes a weekly service visit to pump the tank, clean and sanitize the inside, and restock paper and sanitizer. Festival weekends and large crews need more, and the state wants chemical toilets at a mass gathering serviced daily. Your account manager can set the schedule.
Portland is unusually clear about where this waste goes. City code names portable toilet contents as septage and says only a hauler holding a City septage discharge permit may unload at the Columbia Boulevard Wastewater Treatment Plant on North Columbia Boulevard. That permit requires a state sewage disposal service license too. The City's hauler rules accept loads from recreational and event sites without pre-approval, take loads on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and ask for 24 hours' notice when an event needs an after-hours unload. Your account manager can confirm the service plan for your units.

Most Portland orders go out within 24 to 48 hours of booking. Three to five days of notice gives us more unit choice. For a festival weekend, a summer wedding, or a street fair, book several weeks ahead, and remember that a street use permit alone takes at least eight business days.

Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges porta potty delivery throughout Portland, from Woodstock, Lents, and Foster-Powell across southeast to the Central Eastside, North and Northeast Portland, downtown, and the west hills. We also cover the wider metro, including Milwaukie, Happy Valley, Gresham, Lake Oswego, Tigard, Beaverton, Oregon City, and Clackamas. City lot or river-valley job site, we plan delivery, servicing, and pickup around your schedule.
A standard porta potty averages $199 to $349 per unit here, and an accessible unit averages $200 to $300. Deluxe units run $300 to $400, and a restroom trailer starts at $1,500. Unit count, rental length, service visits, and whether your job needs flush facilities all move the total. Your account manager confirms it in your quote.
Plan one unit for every 50 guests at a four-hour event, and add 15 to 20 percent more if alcohol is served. Include at least one accessible unit. For a crowd over 3,000 people lasting more than a day, Oregon's mass gathering rules set seven toilets per 800 people and daily servicing.
Oregon requires toilets within a three-minute unhurried walk of the crew, and on a project estimated at a million dollars or more it requires flush toilets with wash basins, warm water, and soap. Highway projects are excluded from that rule. Your account manager can size the order to your crew.
A standard rental includes one visit a week to pump the tank, clean and sanitize the inside, and restock paper and hand sanitizer. Busy events need more, and chemical toilets at a state-permitted mass gathering must be serviced every day. 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 City permit in Portland. You will need a temporary street use permit to place one on a sidewalk, in a parking space, or in a travel lane, and those take at least eight business days to come back.
A standard unit is a compact single stall. An accessible unit is wider, with a flat entry, a wide door, 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 Saturday event usually costs about what the full weekend costs. 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 your delivery and pickup windows.
