Find Sustainable Porta Potty
in Scranton
Prime Dumpster arranges porta potty rentals throughout Scranton, Pennsylvania, from the downtown blocks and the university hill out to Green Ridge, the West Side and the old rail and breaker ground along the river. Construction on campus and warehouse work, parade and festival event days, park concerts, race weekends and backyard gatherings all keep portable restrooms busy in the Electric City.
Cost follows unit type, quantity, booking length and service frequency. Below are the ranges, the counts Pennsylvania uses, who decides a Scranton question, and what the valley terrain does to a delivery window.
Winter is the first thing to plan around in Scranton. The city sits in a snow belt, and a unit on a hillside street in January needs the approach cleared before a service truck can reach it. A heated restroom trailer also reads very differently at a February event here than it would further south.
Booking length is the standard lever. Events bill over three days, so a Saturday parade or festival costs close to a full weekend. Campus and warehouse construction moves onto a 28-day cycle.
Unit mix comes next. One accessible unit belongs in every group open to the public, and a handwashing station goes beside food, which at a Scranton festival is most of the footprint.
Servicing finishes the figure. Each call pumps the tank, washes and disinfects the cabin and restocks paper and sanitizer. A parade weekend or a large Scranton crew justifies more than the weekly baseline.

Two conditions in the Commonwealth's rule bear on a public Scranton job. Workers may not be made to walk more than three stories up or down to reach a closet, and more closets are required where the table alone will not allow that siting. The rule also requires toilet facilities to be protected from weather conditions and screened from public view, which on a hillside site in a Scranton winter is worth pricing rather than assuming. Begin with our porta potty calculator and your account manager will set the count.
Choose around the user, the season and the length of the stay. Specifications are on our porta potty options page.
The Standard Porta Potty is the volume unit for crews and household projects, with a seat, urinal, paper holder and sanitizer.
The ADA-Compliant Porta Potty enters flat, opens wide, carries grab bars and gives a wheelchair turning space. Any Scranton event the public can attend needs one.
The Deluxe Flushing Porta Potty has a foot-pump flush and clean water in the bowl, which guests at a wedding or a reception register straight away.
The Deluxe Porta Potty with Sink puts a sink, soap and mirror behind the same door, which suits family events and food-adjacent placements.
The Solar Porta Potty lights and vents itself, useful on river trail work or a rail-corridor site with no power run out to it.
The Handwashing Station is a freestanding sink with water, soap and towels, and every Scranton food vendor should have one within reach.
The Restroom Trailer carries several stalls with running water, heat and air conditioning. In a Scranton winter the heat is the point.
Tell your account manager who will use the units and the mix is settled on the call.
Scranton is a case where naming what is known and what is not is more useful than guessing.
The city code publisher is certain and the text is not available. The City of Scranton's ordinances are carried by one of the two large municipal code publishers, so the client is identified beyond doubt, but that publisher asks automated readers not to crawl its site, and the city's own site is returning a server error rather than a page. So nothing is asserted here about what a Scranton ordinance says, in either direction.
There is no county health department. The Commonwealth funds eleven local health departments covering 46 percent of the state's population, seven of them counties and four of them municipalities. Lackawanna County is not among them, and the nearest municipal one belongs to Wilkes-Barre City, which does not reach Scranton. The county's own site also returned nothing today, so nothing is quoted from it.
That means the state layer carries the answer, and it is specific. Pennsylvania's sewage rules provide that a chemical or portable toilet at a temporary construction site, a temporary recreational or sporting activity, or a temporary seasonal facility may be exempt from onlot sewage permitting at the discretion of the local agency. The rules define a local agency as a municipality, or a county or joint county health department, acting through a certified Sewage Enforcement Officer. With no county department in Lackawanna County, that discretion sits with the City of Scranton.
Two limbs worth knowing. Several portable toilets proposed for temporary use at one site are covered by a single permit rather than one each, which keeps the paperwork flat on a parade or festival order. And improper installation or maintenance of these toilets is a statutory nuisance the local agency can enforce, exemption or not, which is the strongest argument for a documented service interval on a long Scranton booking.
Streets, sidewalks and parade routes. Treat any placement in a Scranton street, sidewalk or alley, and anything along a parade route, as needing city approval, because no published city rule is available to say otherwise. Your account manager can call the city, confirm the office and establish the lead time before the units are loaded.
Scranton placement is a terrain problem before it is anything else, and it is measurable.
The Lackawanna valley is hemmed in by ridges, and on our own measurements road distances here run well above the straight line. On our own measurements, journeys out of Scranton come in at roughly 1.2 to 1.6 times the direct distance, and the Scranton to Wilkes-Barre run is the clearest example of it. That is why a Scranton delivery window is quoted from the actual route rather than from a map line, and why we ask for the street rather than just the city.
On site, set units on firm, level ground. Hillside neighborhoods and old rail or breaker ground both argue for a paved surface or a prepared pad rather than a slope or soft fill. Keep the door clear of the line runoff takes downhill, and leave the truck a straight pull on a narrow street.
Hold 15 feet between a unit and food service, and stay back from the Lackawanna River, Roaring Brook, Nay Aug gorge and every storm inlet. On a Scranton build, place units within 200 feet of the working face.
Weekly servicing is the Scranton baseline, with a second call on event weekends. Pennsylvania names portable toilets in the definition of residential septage that governs a Scranton placement, covering material removed from a septic tank, cesspool, portable toilet or similar device receiving only domestic sewage. Anyone pumping or hauling it must register with the state, at no charge, and show a five-digit transporter number at least three inches tall in a contrasting color on both sides and the rear of the vehicle. The number identifies the business, not the individual truck. Your account manager can confirm your service days and the winter route.

Most Scranton orders go out within 24 to 48 hours. Three to five days of notice secures the exact units and lets the valley route and the street approach be planned. Parade and festival weekends want several weeks.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges porta potty delivery across Scranton and down through the Lackawanna and Lehigh valleys, reaching Wilkes-Barre, Bethlehem, Allentown, Easton, Shoemakersville and west to Williamsport. Whether the job is a campus project, a parade weekend, a warehouse shell or a backyard party, delivery, servicing and collection are planned around your dates.
A standard unit in Scranton averages $199–$349 and an accessible unit $200–$300. Deluxe models sit between $300 and $400 in Scranton, with restroom trailers from $1,500. Quantity, booking length and service frequency all move the total. Your account manager confirms the Scranton figure with clear, upfront pricing in a free quote.
Allow one unit per 50 guests over about four hours, then add 15 to 20 percent once alcohol is served. Spread units along a Scranton parade route rather than banking them at one end. Anything open to the public needs an accessible unit, and a handwashing station belongs beside every food vendor.
A private Scranton job follows the federal count, because Pennsylvania runs no safety plan of its own for private employers. One unit covers a Scranton crew of 20 or fewer, then one toilet and one urinal per 40, then one per 50 above 200. Public sector construction uses the Commonwealth's stricter table, which starts at 15 people.
Weekly is the Scranton standard. At each Scranton call the tank is pumped, the cabin is washed and disinfected, and paper and sanitizer are restocked. Heavy use, summer heat and large crews often justify a second call. Pennsylvania also treats poor maintenance as a nuisance, so keep the interval documented.
Usually not, and in Scranton that discretion rests with the city, because Lackawanna County has no health department. No published city rule is available today to say more than that. A placement in a street or on a parade route needs city approval. Your account manager can make the call.
A standard unit suits one person stepping up through an ordinary door, which fits most Scranton bookings. An accessible unit is wider, enters at ground level, carries grab bars, and leaves a wheelchair room to turn. Public Scranton events need accessible units in each group. Units on a Scranton site used only by a construction crew fall outside the rule.
A standard Scranton unit averages $199–$349 and weekend bookings are priced across three days. A Saturday-only Scranton event therefore costs close to the full weekend. A flushing unit or a restroom trailer costs more than the Scranton standard. Your account manager will confirm the Scranton weekend figure, the delivery window and the collection time.
Tell us about your event or project and your zip code. We will size the order, work out which city office you need, and give you a straight figure on the call.
Your Prime Dumpster account manager coordinates the Scranton detail after that, from the unit count and the valley route to the service days and the collection, on one call or text.
