Porta potties get a bad hygiene reputation from neglected units. A sanitary rental is measurable: clean surfaces, charged tank, stocked paper, working door hardware, and a service plan that matches use.
Sanitary baseline
- Pumped and recharged tank
- Wiped high-touch surfaces
- Toilet paper and sanitizer stocked
- No trash bags left from the last stop
- Hand wash or sanitizer within a short walk
Red flags on a quote
- No mention of cleaning frequency
- Price far below market with “service extra”
- Cannot explain what clean-on-delivery includes
- No ADA or hand-wash options when your site needs them
