Find Sustainable Porta Potty
in Wilkes Barre
Prime Dumpster supplies porta potties throughout Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. The orders here cluster around three things: construction and rehabilitation in the blocks off Public Square and along South Main Street, the events that fill Kirby Park and the riverfront through the warm months, and public works contracts along the levee and the Susquehanna. Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania is also one of a very small number of cities in the Commonwealth that runs its own health department, which changes who you talk to.
Your quote moves with the rental period, the unit count, the number of service visits, our travel distance and the model. Below are the local prices, the two different crew tables that can apply here depending on who is paying for the job, how the city clears a street occupancy, and how fast delivery can be arranged.
Who is funding the job is the first thing we ask in this city, and it is not a billing question. Pennsylvania applies two different construction sanitation tables depending on whether the work is private or public sector, and the public sector table needs more units at the same headcount. If you are bidding public work here, the unit count belongs in the bid.
Rental period comes second. Delivery and collection are each a truck trip into a dense downtown with limited standing room, so they weigh heavily on a single weekend booking and lightly on a multi-season rehabilitation contract.
Street occupancy is the third lever, and it is particular to a city built this tightly. If the unit has to stand in the roadway rather than on the lot, you are into a city permit with conditions attached, and those conditions sometimes change where the unit can go and therefore how easily it can be serviced.
Service frequency is the last. Weekly is the baseline. Downtown units close to foot traffic, and anything working through a humid Wyoming Valley August, usually want two or three visits instead.

Request a Quote NowPennsylvania is the most interesting state we work in on this question, and the reason is that it has a stricter table of its own without being a state plan state.
Start with the Commonwealth's own construction sanitation table, because it is the better deal and almost nobody quotes it. It requires approved sanitary chemical or water closets during building operations, located so that workers are not obliged to walk more than three stories either up or down to reach them, at one facility for one to fifteen people, two for fifteen to thirty, three for thirty to sixty, four for sixty to one hundred, five for one hundred to one hundred fifty, and one more for every additional fifty people or fraction of fifty.
Now the catch, which sits two sections earlier in the same chapter. The Department's own interpretation is that federal law preempts those state regulations on private sector construction and repairs, while for public sector construction and repairs, or where federal regulation does not apply, the state regulation remains in full force and effect. So a private crew in Wilkes Barre works to the federal worker sanitation table, and a public sector job works to the tighter Commonwealth table. At forty workers that is the difference between one facility and three.
The federal table that governs private work has three steps, and the third is the one most count sheets miss. A single facility answers for a crew of twenty workers or fewer. Above twenty it is one toilet seat and one urinal for every forty workers, all the way to two hundred. At two hundred and above it becomes one toilet seat and one urinal for every fifty. Handwashing is required on every site in the country under the federal rule, with a narrow carve-out for mobile crews with transport to facilities nearby.
Events are simpler. Pennsylvania sets no statewide attendance ratio and the city publishes none. We plan one unit per 50 guests over roughly four hours, add fifteen to twenty percent where alcohol is served, and put at least one accessible unit into anything the public can reach.
The Standard Porta Potty covers fenced trade work and most small gatherings. The ADA-Compliant Porta Potty is the wide, step-free unit with grab bars, and it should be the first unit on any public order. The Deluxe Flushing Porta Potty is the choice for a wedding or a guest-facing reception in the park. The Deluxe Porta Potty with Sink puts the basin inside, which earns its place on a downtown lot where the footprint is measured in feet. The Solar Porta Potty lights itself along an unlit stretch of levee trail. The Handwashing Station belongs at the food vendor line. The Restroom Trailer is the multi-stall, heated answer for a long public works contract or a formal event. Compare them on our porta potty options page and your account manager will fix the mix.
Set the unit on private ground in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania with the owner's agreement and no permit normally touches it. On public ground the city has a real route, and it is worth understanding before you plan a site.
The route is the city's permit for occupying a highway, avenue, street or sidewalk with building or other materials, and its conditions are specific. No such permit authorizes occupying more than one third of the roadway width between the curbs. The occupied area may not exceed the frontage of the premises about to be built upon or repaired, except that where adjoining owners raise no objection and the space is not used to store materials other than those going into the construction, the permittee may occupy an additional thirty feet on each side of that frontage. A clear, unobstructed sidewalk passage at least six feet wide must be kept at all times, along with free passage for water in the gutter. No building or other materials or other obstruction may be placed within twenty five feet of any fire hydrant. Everything has to come off the highway before the permit expires. Insurance certificates and fees go in before the permit issues.
Two related things are worth knowing. The city's dumpster and portable storage ordinance does create a right of way permit scheme, but its own terms reach construction waste dumpsters, non-construction waste dumpsters and portable on demand storage containers. A portable restroom is on none of those three lists, so that is not the application to file. And a much older provision still on the books lets an owner or occupant place goods, boxes, barrels or casks temporarily on the pavement in front of the premises for opening, loading or unloading, provided an unobstructed passage stays open and the occupation lasts no more than two consecutive hours. That is a loading allowance with a closed list, not a route for a restroom.
The health layer is unusual here and worth using. The Commonwealth lists only eleven local health departments statewide, and only four of them are municipal rather than county: Allentown, Bethlehem, York City and the Wilkes-Barre City Health Department. Luzerne County has no county health department of its own. So sanitation questions in this city go to a city office, not a county one, which is faster than most places we work. The city's main line is 570-821-1111 at 40 East Market Street, and your account manager will make the call with you.
On a Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania site, start by finding firm level ground the service truck can reach without blocking a travel lane. Keep the unit clear of food service and drinking water, turn the door away from the sidewalk, and if the plan involves the roadway, assume the six foot sidewalk passage and the hydrant setback will shape the exact spot.
On the permitting side of the unit itself, Pennsylvania has a useful provision for temporary work. A portable toilet at a temporary construction site, a temporary sporting or recreational activity, or a temporary seasonal facility may be exempt from onlot sewage permitting at the discretion of the local agency. And where multiple portable toilets are proposed for temporary use, all of the units go under one permit rather than one each. So the answer to whether the unit needs a permit of its own in this state is a genuine maybe, and it is settled with the local agency before delivery.
Where the waste goes is a regulated chain. The driver draws your holding tank into a sealed tank on the truck and runs it to a works permitted to receive it. Nothing is emptied on your site, nothing is rinsed into the gutter, and Prime Dumpster carries that whole chain.
Servicing rhythm is a decision, not a default. Weekly is the baseline: pump the tank, wash the interior, restock paper and sanitizer, check the latch and the vent. Downtown placements near pedestrian traffic and anything running through an August heat spell want two or three visits instead, and your account manager will put the schedule in writing.

Standard units for a Wilkes Barre job site are usually available in a day or two. Event stock needs longer, because Wyoming Valley weekends from May to October draw on the same flushing units and trailers.
Client Reviews
From this base we cover the Wyoming Valley and the wider northeast, including Scranton, Pittston, Nanticoke, Hazleton, Kingston and Plymouth, and we run south and east into the Lehigh Valley around Allentown and Easton and west to Williamsport when the schedule allows.
For a Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania booking a standard unit is $199 to $349 and the accessible model $200 to $300. Flushing cabins and sink cabins both price at $300 to $400. Solar is $500 to $600, a washing station $150 to $250, and a trailer begins at $1,500. Your account manager confirms the period and the visit pattern.
Pennsylvania sets no event ratio, so we plan one unit per 50 guests across about four hours and add fifteen to twenty percent for alcohol. A 200-guest riverfront event wants four units plus a handwashing station, with at least one accessible unit if the public can reach it.
The answer turns on who is paying. Private work runs on the federal table: one facility up to twenty workers, one toilet seat and one urinal per forty above that, and one per fifty above two hundred. Public sector work runs on the tighter Commonwealth table, which reaches three facilities at forty people.
Weekly service is the Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania baseline. The driver empties the tank, scrubs out the cabin, refills consumables and leaves the pavement clean. Downtown units near foot traffic and summer bookings usually move to two or three visits a week, which your account manager schedules at booking.
On ground you own in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, with the owner's agreement, normally no permit applies to the placement. The roadway and the sidewalk are a different question and go through the city occupancy permit. Your account manager will establish which ground the cabin ends up on.
The accessible cabin is wider, has a flush threshold instead of a step, and leaves a wheelchair user room to turn beside grab bars. The standard cabin is narrower and rents for less on a Public Square job. On any public order in this city, start with one accessible unit and build the rest of the count around it.
For one Wilkes Barre weekend a standard cabin prices near the floor of $199 to $349, in Friday and out Monday. A flushing model for a Saturday wedding here runs $300 to $400. Your account manager will quote the dates, the unit mix and the service visits as one number.
