Which porta potty should you rent?
Rent a standard porta potty for construction, remodels and long rentals, and a flushing unit with a sink for parties and weddings. Public events need wheelchair-accessible units for at least 5% of each group. Restroom trailers suit formal events that have power, and hand wash stations belong wherever people eat.

Specs, sizes and uses →When is a unit the wrong pick?
A unit is the wrong pick when the site cannot support it. Restroom trailers fail without level ground, truck access and a 20-amp outlet. Wheelchair-accessible units fail on slopes or soft ground with no firm path. Standard units disappoint at formal weddings, where guests expect flushing and a sink.
- Restroom trailer: needs a level area of about 20 × 12 feet, room for the truck to back in, and a 20-amp outlet within 50 feet or a generator.
- Wheelchair-accessible unit: 62 inches wide, so most backyard gates are too narrow. Driveways work well.
- Flushing unit: its supply covers about 75 flushes. Long, busy events need a mid-event refill.
- Standard unit: has sanitizer but no water. Pair it with a hand wash station where food is served.

Questions about unit types
Which porta potty is rented most in Killeen?
The standard unit. Contractors, remodelers and ranch crews rent it more than any other type.
Do any units have running water?
Restroom trailers do. Flushing units and hand wash stations use foot pumps fed by a fresh-water tank.
Can one delivery bring different unit types?
Yes. A typical event order is several flushing units, 1 wheelchair-accessible unit and 1 hand wash station on the same truck.
Can I get any unit the same day?
Most units, yes, when you call before noon. Restroom trailers sometimes need a day's notice. A same-day fee applies.
