Porta Potty Pickup Never Happened: How to Prevent It
Units left for weeks after the job ended. Write pickup into the order, document the pad, and know when to call a local fleet instead.
· 5 min read
Pickup is the forgotten half of a rental. Reviews across this industry keep repeating it: the job ended, the invoice continued, the unit sat. Prevent that in the order, not in a month-later complaint.
Put pickup on the original quote
- Estimated last day on site
- Who calls to confirm the pad is clear of fencing and vehicles
- What happens if the date slips a week - you should not need a new scavenger hunt
Make the pad pickup-ready
A unit trapped behind new fencing or a stacked dumpster will not leave. Send a photo when you request pickup. Local fleets will tell you they cannot get in. Brokers will say it is scheduled and then go quiet.
FAQ
How much notice do you need for pickup?
