At Area Portable Services, we know planning a project or event isn’t just about logistics. It’s about people. Keeping your crew comfortable or your guests happy is as important as the schedule itself. Our portable toilet services play a big part in that. While often the last thing people think about, it is one of the most important. We’ve pulled together answers to the most common questions, so you can plan smarter and stress less.
We offer fast and reliable responses to your every need, operating seven days a week to meet urgent requirements. That said, same-day delivery is subject to equipment availability and scheduling logistics. We recommend you call our office as early as possible if you need a unit on short notice, so we can confirm availability and dispatch a delivery as soon as possible.
For long-term rentals, such as construction sites or extended projects, we offer maintenance as part of our comprehensive service package. Our standard maintenance includes waste removal, sanitizing, cleaning, and topping up toilet paper and hand sanitizer. For high-traffic construction sites or events, we can schedule additional visits to ensure your units remain fresh, clean, and fully functional. It’s part of our commitment to keeping your site comfortable and safe.
Nope. All our portable toilets come stocked with toilet paper and basic hand hygiene supplies. Deluxe units and portable restroom trailers come equipped with soap, paper towels, and hand sanitizer.
Most long-term rentals receive a once-weekly visit, but high-traffic sites or large events can benefit from twice-weekly service. One-day events usually don’t need extra cleaning, though we can always add them if usage spikes.
We understand that events can go beyond their anticipated schedule. If your event runs longer than expected, simply contact us as soon as possible. We can adjust the rental duration and servicing accordingly, whether that means extending the rental period, scheduling additional cleanings, or delaying the pickup of units. Because all our rentals are managed and tracked, we’ll work with you to ensure compliance with sanitary standards and event requirements.
The right number depends on the number of people, the duration, and the level of activity of your event or project. You can use our restroom calculator for a quick estimate! The usual guidelines recommend:
We’ll help you decide the mix of standard, ADA-compliant, or luxury units so no one is left waiting in line.
Absolutely. ADA-compliant units are available and designed for accessibility and comfort. For events, we recommend one ADA-compliant unit per ten standard units to keep everyone happy and to show you care about your community.
Earlier is better. Booking at least a week ahead ensures we have the units you need and plenty of time to get them delivered and serviced. But we get it. Sometimes, last-minute requests happen. We do our best to help you out.
Ensure the delivery area is flat, stable, and easily accessible for trucks and equipment. Clear any obstacles like vehicles, landscaping, or construction materials to allow for safe placement. A solid, level surface ensures units remain upright and secure during the rental period.

We have added an additional step to our cleaning & sanitizing process which includes a step to spray all of our units with an E.P.A registered, no-rinse quaternary-based sanitizer and disinfectant, each time your unit is serviced.

The theory is that if a spill or leak can be contained, it will not pollute the environment or cause additional harm to the land and/or property. The containment tray, also known as a spill basin, provides an extra barrier of protection against the runoff water that occurs when servicing a portable restroom. The heavy-duty plastic trays fit under the portable restroom to keep the ground dry and contaminate free.
Quick Tip: More than a dozen EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) and OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) regulations require a secondary containment on all job sites.All deliveries are scheduled Monday-Friday 7:00 am -3:30 pm and routed the morning of that day.
