What's Included in Every Rental
Who Needs a Containment Tray?
Job site supervisors
When a unit sits on pavement or near a drain, inspectors expect containment. Add a tray under each standard porta potty to keep the placement compliant and spill-ready.
Sites near storm drains
Placements close to storm drains, curbs, or waterways are the classic case where a town requires a spill tray. The tray keeps any runoff from reaching stormwater infrastructure.
Gathering & venue planners
Events on parking lots, plazas, and hardscaped grounds often need containment under each unit. Trays also keep the area tidy under high-traffic toilets during a long day.
Property & facility managers
For long-term placements, a tray under a unit — or under a hand wash station — protects the ground beneath it season after season and simplifies every service visit.
The Spill Tray That Keeps Your Unit Compliant
A porta potty containment tray is the inexpensive accessory that turns a standard toilet placement into a compliant one. It's a shallow, sealed basin that sits directly beneath the unit, and its only job is to catch what shouldn't touch the ground — a leaked tank, a service spill, an overflow after heavy use. That secondary containment is exactly what many municipal inspectors look for, and adding a tray is far cheaper than a fine or a stop-work order.
Renting a containment tray with your order is effortless: we drop it in place under your unit at delivery and take it back at pickup, all bundled with the rest of your service. Whether you're setting a single toilet on a paved lot or a row of them near a storm drain, the tray keeps runoff contained and keeps your placement clean.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a containment tray rental cost?
A containment tray is priced per unit and added to any portable toilet order at checkout. See your exact quote instantly in the online checkout — no callbacks required.
What does a containment tray actually do?
The tray sits directly beneath a portable toilet and acts as a sealed secondary containment basin. If the unit ever leaks, spills, or overflows, the tray captures that runoff before it can reach the ground or enter a storm drain — protecting the site and making cleanup at service visits far easier.
When is a containment tray required?
Many municipalities require a containment tray whenever a portable toilet is placed near a storm drain, on pavement, or close to a waterway or environmentally sensitive area. Requirements vary by town, so if you're not sure, tell us your site location and we'll flag whether a tray is needed.
Can I add a tray to any unit I rent?
Yes. Containment trays are compatible with our standard toilets, hand wash stations, and specialty units, and they can be added to any order at checkout. We deliver and position the tray under your unit when we drop it off, at no extra delivery charge.
Is a containment tray worth it even if my town doesn't require one?
Often, yes. Even where it isn't mandated, a tray is inexpensive insurance: it protects you from spill liability, keeps the placement area clean, and prevents an accidental leak from becoming a stormwater or soil contamination problem on your site.
