Do you need a permit to put a porta potty on the street in Dauphin County?
Harrisburg sets its own street-use rules, and so does each borough and township. State roads like US-22 need a PennDOT highway occupancy permit. Our recommendation is a driveway, rear alley, or private lot. Confirm with the city, borough, or township office before you put a unit on any street.
Rules for Dauphin County come from the City of Harrisburg or your borough/township office; PennDOT District 8 for state routes; check with that office before using public land.
Where should a porta potty go on a Dauphin County property?
Choose firm, flat ground within about 15 feet of truck parking. Harrisburg rowhomes in Midtown and Shipoke often have rear alleys that fit a unit. Suburban lots in Lower Paxton and Derry Township usually have room by the driveway. Upper county farms may need a gravel spot.
- In Shipoke and other riverfront blocks, keep units on high ground during high water.
- Check HOA rules in Lower Paxton and Susquehanna Township developments.
- In upper Dauphin County near Lykens, steep lanes may need a spot by the road.
- Keep rural units away from wells and septic fields.

Porta potty rental questions in Dauphin County
Can you deliver a porta potty to Hershey for a weekend event?
We deliver to Hershey and all of Derry Township. For weekend events, we drop off Thursday or Friday and pick up Monday. The extra days come at no added charge. Book several days ahead, since Hershey is about 90 minutes from our yard.
Do you supply units during the January Farm Show?
We can supply nearby private events and lots during Farm Show week. All units carry non-toxic antifreeze in January. Book early, since traffic near the Farm Show Complex gets heavy. Clear snow from the drop spot before the driver arrives.
Can I put a porta potty at Fort Hunter Park?
Fort Hunter bans parking on grass and limits temporary additions at its rental sites. Ask the park staff whether a unit is allowed for your rental. If they approve one, they will name a spot. We can only place it where the park allows.
How soon can you get a unit to Harrisburg?
Harrisburg is about 90 minutes from our yard. Plan on a next-day drop as the norm. Same-day can work when a route is already headed west, so call early and ask. The driver calls about 30 minutes before arriving. Nobody has to be home if you mark the spot with a cone or sign.
Do you serve state government contractors and job sites in Harrisburg?
We serve job sites across Harrisburg and the surrounding townships. Weekly pumping, cleaning, and restocking are included on construction rentals. In Dauphin County, billing runs on a 28-day cycle. Call when the job ends to schedule pickup, or the rental renews. Towable unit trailers help crews moving between several sites.
What unit works best for a Middletown graduation party?
A standard unit fits most backyard parties in Middletown. For 50 guests or fewer over four hours, one unit is enough. In Dauphin County, add a hand wash station if food is served. A deluxe flushing unit with a sink is a step up for guests.
