Porta Potty Rental FAQ for Temple Renters

Call (254) 218-1030 or send the six-field form with your ZIP, dates, unit type, number of units and headcount. Dispatch gives one itemized total on the call, or texts it within 1 business hour.

We need the delivery address, delivery and pickup dates, unit type and count, a contact phone, and any gate code or placement notes. Event bookings also need the guest count and event hours.

Book 1 week ahead for most events and 2 to 4 weeks ahead for spring and fall weekends or restroom trailers. Job-site units can usually go out the next business day.

Next-day delivery is standard across Temple and nearby towns with no rush fee when you book by end of business today.

Drivers deliver between 7 AM and 6 PM, Monday through Friday. You can ask for a morning or afternoon window, and the driver texts when on the way.

Sunday events are delivered on Friday and picked up on Monday. The extra days are included in the event price.

We deliver to ranches and rural addresses around Temple. Send a map pin or gate directions, and tell us about cattle guards, low-water crossings or soft roads.

You can book for a church, school or company. Give us the on-site contact name and number for delivery questions, and the billing contact for the invoice.

We text or email every quote with each line item listed, so you can share it with a spouse, pastor or project manager before booking.

A standard porta potty is the lowest-cost unit. For events it starts at $165 in Temple with delivery and pickup included. For job sites it starts at $145 per 28-day cycle plus a $65 delivery and pickup fee.

A 28-day cycle lines up exactly with 4 weekly service visits. Every cycle gets the same number of pump-outs, so the price stays the same month to month.

Long-term contracts of 6 or 12 months can lower the per-cycle rate on multi-unit accounts. Ask dispatch for a written contract quote.

A 2-week job is billed as one 28-day cycle, with unused days prorated when you call for pickup early. That is often less than two separate weekly charges.

Several units on one delivery share the delivery and travel charge, which lowers the cost per unit. Accounts with 5 or more units on rent can ask for a volume rate.

Event rentals are paid when you book. Job-site rentals are paid per 28-day cycle, in advance. Approved contractors can pay by invoice.

We take Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover and debit cards, plus checks and ACH for approved accounts.

The same-day rush fee is $75 per order, for one unit or several on the same stop. It applies only when the unit is delivered the same day you call.

Wind or a passing vehicle can tip a unit. We clean up and reset it. Damage from vandalism, fire or misuse is billed under our rental terms.

Porta potty, porta john, portable toilet and portable restroom all mean the same unit: a single-user toilet with a holding tank. The name changes by region, not the equipment.

Our standard unit, the PolyJohn PJN3, is 43.5 inches wide, 47 inches deep and 91 inches tall, with a 60-gallon tank.

Standard and deluxe units have translucent roofs that let in daylight. For night events, restroom trailers have built-in lights, or you can hang a battery lantern inside a porta potty.

Restroom trailers have air conditioning or fans when plugged into a 110-volt outlet. Porta potties have roof vents but no power.

Standard units have a urinal on the side wall in addition to the seat. Deluxe units have the seat, flush and sink.

Every unit has an inside door latch with an occupied sign. For job sites after hours, we can fit a padlock hasp; you keep the key and leave a copy for service day.

Pink units are available for some events, such as showers and fundraisers, when booked about a week ahead. Blue and gray are standard. Color does not change the price.

We have towable porta potty trailers for job sites that move, such as road and pipeline crews. Ask dispatch for availability.

A service visit includes pumping the holding tank, washing the seat, walls and floor, recharging the deodorizing blue liquid and restocking toilet paper and sanitizer.

A serviced unit smells far less than people expect. Odor rises when the tank fills or in hot weather. Weekly service and a shaded spot keep odor down, and a second weekly visit helps in July and August.

Call or text dispatch. An extra pump-out is usually done the same or next business day for $45 per unit.

Every unit leaves the yard pumped, washed, deodorized and stocked with paper and sanitizer.

We supply toilet paper and sanitizer with every delivery and service visit. Extra rolls can be left on site at no charge.

100 people need 2 standard porta potties for a 4-hour event, or 3 if alcohol is served. Events of 6 hours need 3 units, or 4 with alcohol.

200 guests need 4 standard porta potties for 4 hours, or 5 with alcohol. Add 1 wheelchair-accessible unit for public events and 1 hand-wash station if food is served.

A porta potty helps when you expect 30 or more guests, the party runs over 3 hours, or you want to keep guests out of the house. One unit covers about 50 guests for 4 hours.

Weekend events are set on Friday so the unit is ready early. Weekday events can be delivered the morning of when the address is on an early route.

Units can be set at family land, churches and cemeteries that allow them. Tell dispatch the time of the service so the unit is placed early and out of sight of the gathering.

Separate signs help at events over 200 guests. Put urinal-equipped standard units on the men's side and deluxe units on the women's side to shorten the longest line.

OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 requires toilets for employees on construction sites: at least 1 toilet for 20 or fewer workers. The rule applies unless crews have transportation to nearby toilets.

A 3-day job can be priced as an event rental instead of a full 28-day cycle. Tell dispatch your exact dates.

Your crew can slide an empty unit a few feet. For moves across the lot or to another site, call dispatch; a relocation is $50.

Roofing crews on homes are covered by the same OSHA toilet rule unless they have access to a restroom. Many Temple homeowners do not want crews inside, so a unit in the driveway is common.

We deliver to multiple sites in one day and put them on one account. Send a list of addresses and start dates.

A standard unit needs a 4-by-4-foot flat spot plus 3 feet in front of the door. An accessible unit needs about 6-by-6 feet plus 5 feet in front.

A porta potty can sit on dry, firm grass. After heavy rain, set it on gravel or pavement so it stays level.

Street and sidewalk placement in Temple generally needs city approval. Driveways, yards and private lots do not.

Drivers stay on driveways and firm ground and hand-cart units across lawns when needed. After heavy rain, we place the unit on a hard surface instead of crossing soft grass.

Share the gate code or leave the gate unlocked on delivery and service days. Missed service because of a locked gate may be billed as a trip charge.

No one needs to be home for pickup. Leave access open, and the driver texts when the unit is removed.

Cancel or reschedule more than 48 hours before delivery at no charge. Cancellations within 48 hours may be charged the delivery portion. Full details are in our rental terms.

Report it right away. Lost or stolen units, fire and vandalism are billed at replacement or repair cost under our rental terms. Gated, lit sites rarely have problems.

Carl Rental Works owns and services its own units from the yard at 411 S 31st St in Temple. We do not resell other companies' equipment.

Call or text dispatch with the address and the last day you need the unit. Billing stops on the pickup date.
