Porta Potty Rental Questions and Answers

One standard porta potty for a weekend event in Grand Island costs about $150 to $200, plus Nebraska sales tax. That covers delivery, up to 5 days on site and pickup. Outside Grand Island, add a one-time trip charge. Your quote shows the exact total before you pay.

Every price we quote is per unit. Delivery inside Grand Island is included per order, so three units on one trip do not pay three delivery charges. Outside the city, the trip charge is once per trip, not per unit.

Two units cost twice the unit price, but the trip charge is paid once. Orders of 4 or more units on one delivery get a multi-unit rate.

Quoted ranges are before Nebraska sales tax. Your itemized quote adds tax as its own line, so the total you approve is the total you pay.

Inside Grand Island, every 28-day cycle costs the same. Outside the city, only the first cycle carries the trip charge, so later cycles cost slightly less.

A 28-day cycle is our billing period for job-site and long-term units. It is four weeks with four weekly cleanings, not a calendar month. Thirteen cycles make a year.

Long-term rentals have no contract. The cycle renews automatically until you call for pickup, and there is no early-termination fee.

A low weekly number online often leaves out delivery, pickup, cleaning or removal fees, which show up later. Compare the full total, including every fee and tax, for the same dates.

Active-duty, veteran and first-time customers can ask about our current offer when they call. Multi-unit orders and churches or nonprofits ordering 4 or more units get written multi-unit pricing.

Book standard units 3 to 7 days ahead for weekday jobs and 2 to 3 weeks ahead for May through September weekends. Restroom trailers need 2 to 8 weeks. Same-day is available when you call by noon on a weekday.

Deliveries run from 7 AM to 6 PM. We give a morning or afternoon window, and the driver can call ahead if you ask. Event units arrive the business day before your event, so the exact hour rarely matters.

Same-day drop and same-night pickup is not offered, because drivers are off the road by evening. We deliver the day before and pick up the next business day at the same price.

Holiday-weekend units are picked up on the next business day, usually Tuesday. The package price stays the same.

You do not need to be home if the spot is marked and the gate is open. Mark the spot with a flag, spray paint or a photo, and leave a phone number for the driver.

Rural sites, field entrances and campgrounds are fine. Send a GPS pin drop, a nearby road intersection or clear written directions.

Friday delivery for a weekend event has no extra charge. A Saturday-morning drop by request may add a small fee, shown on the quote.

A standard unit has a seat, urinal and hand sanitizer. A sink unit adds a foot-pump sink. A flushing unit adds a foot-pump flush that rinses the bowl, plus a sink, soap and towels. None need water or power.

Sink units carry their own fresh water in a tank and need no hookup. Guests pump water with a foot pedal or hand lever.

Every standard unit includes a hand-sanitizer dispenser and toilet paper. Event units also come with seat covers.

Portable units rely on a translucent roof for daylight. For night events, place them near a yard light or add a battery light. Restroom trailers have built-in lights.

Shower trailers and RV holding tanks are not part of our regular fleet. Call and we will tell you who in central Nebraska carries them.

Pump-outs of customer-owned units are available on route days near Grand Island. The price depends on tank size, so have the gallons ready when you call.

Portable units have no wheels. Two people can move an empty unit a short distance with a hand truck, but please call us before moving a full one.

Most units are blue or gray. A small number of pink units are available for themed events. Ask when you book.

Weekly cleaning is included on every job-site and long-term rental. Event units are delivered clean and stocked. Mid-event cleaning is an add-on.

The driver pumps the waste tank, washes and sanitizes the inside, recharges the tank with fresh water and deodorizer, restocks paper and sanitizer, and checks the door and level.

Cleaning every two weeks is not offered, because a used unit left 14 days becomes a health and odor problem. Weekly cleaning is already in the price.

Call us and we schedule an extra cleaning on the next route day for a flat fee. If it keeps happening, a second unit usually costs less than repeated extra visits.

A cleaned unit with a fresh deodorizer charge has little odor. Odor builds when a unit is overused, in full sun or between cleanings. Shade and the right unit count help.

A porta potty needs flat, firm ground about 4 by 4 feet: a driveway, gravel pad, patio or level lawn. Avoid slopes, soft mud and septic fields.

The service truck needs to park within about 30 feet of the unit. Its hose reaches about that far. Farther placements may need a different spot for cleaning.

A standard unit fits through a gate at least 48 inches wide when we can carry it. The truck must still reach within about 30 feet for cleaning.

Our trucks stay on the driveway or street whenever possible. On dry lawns, light tracks may show. On wet lawns, we place the unit near the drive instead.

City parks need the park's approval. Some do not allow units overnight. Get the event permit or park approval before we deliver, and tell us any placement rules.

Units have a hasp for your padlock. Locking it after hours keeps out the public at parks and job sites. Leave the key or code for the cleaning driver.

Units in the street or right-of-way need city approval. A driveway placement avoids the permit and keeps the street clear.

We need the delivery address or pin drop, dates, unit type and count, an on-site phone number, and payment. A photo of the spot helps.

We take credit and debit cards, checks for businesses on account, and local payment apps by arrangement. Cash is accepted only at our office. We do not add a card fee.

Event rentals are paid in full when booked. Long-term rentals bill at the start of each cycle. Contractors can ask about net terms.

You get a text or email confirmation with your dates, units, site address and total. If you do not see it within an hour, call us.

Cancel at least 48 hours before delivery for a full refund. Inside 48 hours, a trip fee may apply if the unit is already loaded. See our rental terms.

Call before your pickup date. Event rentals extend into a 28-day cycle or a second package. Long-term rentals simply keep renewing.

Call or text the main line with your site address. We schedule pickup, usually within 1–2 business days, and billing stops at the end of that cycle.

Stuart Rental Works is a local, owner-operated company in Grand Island. When you call, you reach the people who schedule and drive the trucks, not a broker who resells another company's units.

Units can freeze below about 20°F. From November through March, we add a brine or non-toxic antifreeze charge on each cleaning, at no extra charge, so the tank keeps working.

Empty units can tip in strong prairie wind. We stake or strap units on open sites and face doors away from the prevailing wind. Tell us if your site is exposed.

Rain does not hurt the unit. If you postpone, call before the delivery date. If the ground is soaked, we may place the unit on the driveway.

May through June (graduations and weddings) and September through October (harvest, State Fair, fall festivals) book out first. Book 2 to 3 weeks ahead for those dates.
