Find Sustainable Porta Potty
in Shreveport
Prime Dumpster arranges porta potty rentals throughout Shreveport, Louisiana and the wider northwest corner of the state. Demand divides between construction and renovation, from downtown redevelopment and commercial shells along Youree Drive to street and drainage contracts and residential infill, and a year-round run of outdoor events including Mardi Gras parades, Red River District festivals, film production and sports tournaments.
The price turns on which unit, how many, how long, and how often a service visit lands. Below are our ranges, the counts we plan to, the city rules that carry a real cost here, and what it takes to have units standing on the day you need them.
The ranges are built on a standard three-day rental, the usual basis for a Shreveport party, tournament or festival order. A single-day booking normally prices the same as a full weekend.
Longer work is quoted on four-week cycles with a weekly clean included. A downtown renovation, a commercial build in south Shreveport, or a utility contract on a city street falls into that pattern, and the weekly figure drops sharply compared with a short rental.
What moves a Shreveport number most, and it genuinely surprises customers, is the permit position rather than the equipment. If any part of your placement sits in a city street, alley or sidewalk, the city's own published right of way charges are heavy, and that belongs in the budget from the start rather than arriving later. The next section sets out the numbers.
Beyond that the usual factors apply. North Louisiana summers are hot enough to take many sites from one service visit a week to two, and a unit behind a locked gate or down a soft slope takes the driver longer than one on a paved apron. Your account manager prices access openly.

Request a Quote NowBegin with head count and hours. Prime Dumpster plans to these counts:
Shreveport does set two requirements of its own, and both come out of the city development code rather than the general ordinances. A food truck park must provide facilities for a minimum of two restrooms, and temporary portable restroom facilities may be considered as part of the special use approval, which means the portable option is available through that approval rather than granted outright. Hand sanitation stations must be provided near the restroom and throughout the park. Separately, for a temporary use or outdoor event, adequate restroom facilities must be provided and screened. The city sets no number for that second one and no threshold, so the screening is absolute while the count is at the city's discretion. It is a cost line worth settling at quote stage.
The state supplies the only numerical floor for a large crowd. Under the Louisiana sanitary code, a gathering of 500 or more running four hours or longer needs at least one toilet per 200 people with toilet paper in continuous supply. That is under real demand, so use our figure. The porta potty calculator gives a starting point and your account manager completes it.
Decide by who uses the unit and for how long. Our porta potty options page shows the full set.
The Standard Porta Potty covers the majority of Shreveport orders, holding a toilet, a urinal, a paper holder and sanitizer. It fits crews, yard projects and smaller events.
The ADA-Compliant Porta Potty has a step-free ground-level entry, a wide door, grab bars and wheelchair turning room. One belongs anywhere the public is admitted.
The Deluxe Flushing Porta Potty adds a flushing bowl and considerably better odor control, which guests notice at a wedding or a corporate event.
The Deluxe Porta Potty with Sink places a sink, soap and mirror inside the unit, so nobody walks to a separate station.
The Solar Porta Potty runs its light and fan off a roof panel, which suits rural tracts, hunting leases and evening events away from power.
The Handwashing Station stands on its own with clean water, soap and towels, and the city development code effectively expects sanitation provision beside food vending.
The Restroom Trailer carries multiple stalls, running water and heating or cooling, and it is the pick for weddings, company events and multi-month sites.
Unsure of the mix? Describe the guests or the crew to your account manager and the order gets built to it.
One piece of geography first, because it affects more than you would expect. Shreveport sits in two parishes, Caddo and Bossier. The Census place file carries a row for each. Most of the city is in Caddo, but the Bossier side is real, and at least one city privilege is written for Caddo residents only.
On private ground, including a yard, a driveway or a fenced job site, no city permit is normally needed.
The right of way, and the numbers are the story. The city's Public Works and Engineering department administers a right of way encroachment permit covering any construction, alteration or development over, under or in a street, alley or sidewalk. The published charges are an application processing fee of $1,500, plus an encroachment fee of $50 per encroachment. City, parish, state and federal agencies are exempt from the fees but must still apply. Those figures are published on the city's Civil Permits page, and a flat charge thirty times the per-encroachment fee makes a single small placement expensive in a way nothing else in Louisiana matches.
An honest limit on that route. The permit's own wording reaches construction, alteration or development, and the code article behind it applies to parties who operate infrastructure in the right of way and need a bore or excavation. A unit merely set down is not obviously any of those things. So Shreveport publishes no permit written for a placed object, and rather than claim one fits, the practical step is to put the specific location to Public Works on 318-673-6000 before delivery.
A three-year street moratorium that catches people out. Excavations and openings are not permitted in newly constructed, reconstructed or resurfaced streets for three years after the work is substantially complete, unless the public works director accepts an emergency and the city council approves it. If your block has recently been repaved, a street placement needing any opening is effectively off the table for a long while.
Disposal, and where the straddle bites. Collectors holding a city permit must take what they collect only to the Woolworth Road Landfill, with limited exceptions, and the penalty is $500 per vehicle per violation. On top of that, free disposal of residential waste at a city-owned facility is open to anyone residing within Caddo Parish, proved by a driver's license, which means a Shreveport household on the Bossier Parish side of the city does not qualify. Terms are in the City code.
Crowds of 500 or more. The state treats these as mass gatherings, needing a written permit from the local parish health unit at least 30 days ahead and held by the operator 72 hours before the start. The application must carry a map showing where every toilet will stand, drawings of the facilities and the sewage disposal, and your expected attendance. Because the city spans two parishes, confirm which parish health unit your site falls under. We produce that layout drawing as part of the order.
Placement in Shreveport comes down to staying off the city right of way wherever the plan allows it, for the reasons just given, and then to ordinary site sense.
Where private ground is available, use it. The difference between a unit inside the property line and one in the street is measured in four figures here, not in convenience.
On the ground itself, the terrain rolls and the soils are clay-heavy, which holds surface water after a storm rather than shedding it. Pick level, firm footing, avoid the low corner of a lot, and leave a clear lane with no low limbs and nothing parked across it.
Keep at least 15 feet between any unit and food service, set job-site units within roughly 200 feet of the work face, and split event units into two or three clusters rather than one long row, with accessible units on a hard, flat approach. Where the development code calls for screening at a temporary use, agree what that means with the city before the event rather than on the day.
Weekly cleaning is included with a standard rental, and large crews or a north Louisiana July often justify two visits. State rules forbid emptying a unit onto the ground or into a street, ditch or waterway, and require the waste to move only in tight, enclosed containers, so collection is arranged to a lawful disposal point. Your account manager sets the interval against the site.

Most Shreveport orders can be standing inside 24 to 48 hours, and three to five days allows the units to be matched to the job properly.
Give more notice for the local peaks. Carnival season brings a full parade calendar to Shreveport and Bossier City together, and the spring and autumn festival and tournament runs draw on the same equipment across both parishes at once.

Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges porta potty delivery across Shreveport and the communities around it in both Caddo and Bossier parishes, including Bossier City, Haughton, Benton, Blanchard, Greenwood, Stonewall, Keithville and Vivian. Whether your project sits downtown, in south Shreveport, out toward Cross Lake, or on rural parish acreage, the delivery, servicing and collection are arranged around your dates.
Standard units run $199–$349, ADA-compliant units $200–$300, deluxe flushing and sink models $300–$400, solar units $500–$600, and restroom trailers from $1,500. A placement in the city right of way adds published permit charges on top. Your account manager gives you the full figure.
Allow one unit per 50 guests across four hours, adding 15 to 20 percent when alcohol is served. A 250-guest tournament day comes out at five or six units. Include a handwashing station by any food, and an accessible unit whenever the public attends.
Louisiana operates no state plan, so the federal construction standard applies directly. Twenty workers or fewer are covered by one facility. After twenty, one extra toilet seat and urinal per forty workers, and after two hundred, one of each per fifty. Tell your account manager when the crew size moves.
A standard rental includes one visit a week. The service crew pumps the tank, washes the bowl and floor, wipes down the interior and restocks paper and sanitizer. Large crews and hot north Louisiana summers often warrant two or three visits. Your account manager sets the schedule with you.
Normally no. Private ground in Shreveport needs no city permit. The city right of way is another matter, because the published encroachment charges are substantial and a newly resurfaced street carries a three-year bar on any opening.
A standard unit is one compact stall with a toilet, a urinal and sanitizer. An ADA unit is wider, enters flat at ground level, and carries grab bars and space to turn a wheelchair. Events open to the public need at least one per cluster, while a crew-only site does not.
Three days is already assumed in the ranges above, so a weekend needs nothing more. Budget $199–$349 for a standard unit, $300–$400 for a deluxe flushing model, and $150–$250 for a handwashing station. Your account manager confirms delivery and collection timing.
Outline the Shreveport project or event for us and include the zip code. We will calculate the count, lay the service visits against your build schedule, and quote it immediately.
Your Prime Dumpster account manager runs the order throughout, from the count and the right of way question to the service interval and the final collection, so the detail stays off your desk.
