How close can the service truck get to the portable toilet?

Our trucks need to be within 30-40 feet of the unit to safely pump and service it. Please ensure a clear path for the driver.

Can portable toilets be placed on grass?

Yes, providing the ground is dry and firm. Avoid low spots that collect water, as mud can make servicing impossible.

Logistics Update: Our trucks require 15ft height clearance.

Portable Toilet Placement Guide

Where you place portable restrooms can make or break the guest experience (and your delivery day). This guide covers New Jersey best practices for events and construction sites—including distance, access, and ADA considerations.

The most common mistake? Placing units where our service trucks can't reach them. Remember: We need to get within 30 feet to pump and clean the unit.

The 3 Rules of Placement

🚚 Access

Ensure a clear path for our delivery truck. No locked gates, narrow alleys, or soft mud.

📏 Distance

Place units 50-150 feet from the main crowd. Accessible, but not the center of attention.

♿ ADA Path

Accessible units must be on a firm, obstacle-free route. No curbs or steps.

Specific Scenarios

Weddings: Use natural screening (hedges/fences) or tents to hide units from photographers.
Construction: Minimize walking time. Place units near the hoist or active work zone.
Driveways: We can place units on driveways; just ensure no cars block us on service day.

Placement FAQs

Can you place a unit in my backyard?

Yes, as long as there is a gate at least 45" wide and the ground is firm. However, we cannot lift units over fences.

How far can the pump hose reach?

Our vacuum hoses typically reach about 30-40 feet from the truck. Please plan your placement within this range of a paved or drivable surface.

Will the unit tip over in the wind?

Standard units are stable, but for high-wind areas or open fields, we recommend staking them down. Please let us know if your site is particularly exposed.
