How do I rent a porta potty in Lima, OH?
Dial 1-833-520-0680 and say whether it is a Lima job site or an event, plus the number of people and the dates. A local Allen provider then confirms how many units you need, how often they will be serviced and the full price.
Lima contractors order portable restrooms by crew size, and OSHA sets the floor. Event organisers order by headcount and hours. Tell us which you are and a local provider sizes it properly.

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.
Job sites are counted by peak crew, not by project headcount. A Lima site running 60 workers during framing and 12 during fit out needs provision sized for 60 while that phase lasts.
Review the schedule when the site changes. A Lima project that needed twice weekly during framing rarely needs it through a fit out with a third of the crew.
What should you plan for in Lima?
On public facing Lima events, put at least one ADA accessible unit on a level, firm route from the main area. Accessible does not help if the path to it is gravel or grass.
Doors open outward, so a unit tucked tight against a wall or a fence loses usable space. Allow the extra foot and the clear route for the service truck.
Flag gate codes, restricted hours and soft ground when you book. All three are workable at Lima sites with notice and all three cause a failed visit without it.
Units arrive from the yard cleaned, restocked and deodorised, so the first use is on a fresh unit. On a Lima event that is the detail guests actually notice.

Lima porta potty questions
What is included in a service visit?
The tank is pumped, the unit is washed down, the paper is restocked and deodoriser is added. Any damage is noted and reported.
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.
Can I rent a unit for a whole year in Lima?
Yes. Long term rentals are standard on construction projects and are usually billed monthly with weekly service included.
Do you have ADA accessible units?
Yes. ADA units are wider, have a ground level entry and interior grab bars, and follow the 2010 ADA Standards. Order at least one whenever the public has access.
Can I get units delivered on a weekend in Lima?
Often yes, though weekend delivery and collection sometimes carry a surcharge. Book early for Saturday events, that is the busiest day of the week.
