How do I rent a porta potty in Paterson, NJ?
Phone 1-833-520-0680 and give the Paterson location, the crew size or guest count and the rental length. We match you with a provider covering Passaic who recommends the unit mix, including ADA units and hand wash stations, and quotes the total.

Job sites follow OSHA. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 requires 1 unit for up to 20 workers, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 to 199 workers, and 1 per 50 workers at 200 or more. Hand washing has to be available where the work involves contaminants.
Treat the OSHA number as the point below which you are non compliant, not the number to order. Comfortable and compliant are different thresholds, and crews notice the difference by midweek.
More units on weekly service often costs less than fewer units on twice weekly, and it removes the queue at the peak as well. It is worth pricing both ways for a long Paterson rental.
Where should units go on a Paterson site?
Wind matters more than people expect. On exposed Paterson sites, units should be staked or strapped, particularly if they sit on a hard surface where they cannot be anchored into ground.
A standard unit occupies roughly 4 by 4 feet with the door opening outward, so allow about 5 by 5 feet of clear space. The service truck needs to get within about 25 feet of each unit.
Review the order when the crew size changes. A Paterson site carrying six units through a fit out with a crew of twelve is paying for capacity nobody is using.
Where food is served at a Paterson event, move to one hand wash station per two units rather than one per three or four.

Paterson porta potty questions
Do you supply the units yourselves?
No. We are a free referral service. Your call connects you with an independent local provider who owns the units and handles delivery and servicing.
Do I need a permit for a porta potty in Paterson?
Not on private property in almost all cases. Public events and anything placed on a street or sidewalk may need a city permit that covers restroom provision.
Are urinal only units available?
Yes, and on large male heavy crowds they can cut queues significantly for less than the cost of additional full units. Ask the provider about the mix.
What is the minimum rental period?
Events are priced per day. Job site rentals are normally monthly with weekly servicing included, and one month is the usual minimum.
Can units be placed inside a gated site?
Usually, as long as the service truck can get within about 25 feet. Tell the provider about gate codes, soft ground or tight alleys when you book.
