Delaware County rules and conditions that change your rental
- Delaware County park rules require a permit for groups of ten or more, except at Rose Tree Park. Events of 150 or more people need a large-event permit, limited to two per month per park.Large park events must book early to get one of the two monthly slots. Line up the county permit before booking restrooms.
- County park rules ban driving on any part of a park not set aside for vehicles. Commercial use of parkland is by permit only.Our truck must stay on park roads and lots. Plan unit spots near the parking area and list them in your permit.
- The Delaware County Health Department wants temporary food applications three weeks before an event. Each food hand wash station needs at least 5 gallons of warm water, 100 degrees or more.Food vendors must bring their own warm-water setup. Our foot-pump stations are for guests at the toilets.
- Delaware County is Pennsylvania's third-smallest county by area. It averages over 3,100 residents per square mile.Curb space is scarce in towns like Upper Darby and Lansdowne. A driveway or rear alley spot saves trouble with parking.
- PennDOT District 6 maintains Delaware County's state roads, including US-1, PA-252, and PA-320.A unit along those roads needs PennDOT approval. Choose private ground instead.Source: PennDOT — District 6
Do you need a permit to put a porta potty on the street in Delaware County?
Delco's 49 municipalities each control their own streets, and many dense boroughs restrict curb use. State roads such as US-1 need a PennDOT highway occupancy permit. Our advice is to use a driveway, rear alley, or private lot. Call your borough or township office to confirm before setting a unit at the curb.
Rules for Delaware County come from the Your borough, township, or city office; PennDOT District 6 for state routes; check with that office before using public land.
Where should a porta potty go on a Delco property?
We need firm, level ground within about 15 feet of where the truck parks. Rowhome blocks in Upper Darby, Darby, and Collingdale often have rear alleys that work well. Twin homes in Havertown may have shared driveways, so talk with your neighbor. Larger lots in Edgmont and Thornbury offer more room.
- Check if your rowhome block has a rear driveway the truck can enter.
- Shared drives in Havertown and Drexel Hill need both owners to agree on the spot.
- In Chadds Ford and Concord Townships, keep units clear of septic fields.
- For county park events, place units by the lot, since trucks stay off the grass.

How does Delaware County weather affect a rental?
Delaware County sits low and close to the Delaware River, so summers run hot and humid. Shade keeps event units fresher. Winters are milder than in the Lehigh Valley, but units still carry non-toxic antifreeze from November through March. Heavy rain can pool on flat rowhome lots.
Porta potty rental questions in Delaware County
Do you deliver porta potties to Upper Darby and Drexel Hill?
We deliver to Upper Darby Township, including Drexel Hill. Next-day delivery is typical because of the drive from Allentown. Rear alleys often make the best drop spots on rowhome blocks. Mark the spot and keep it clear of parked cars.
How many units for a 150-person event at Rose Tree Park?
For a five- to eight-hour event, our method uses one standard unit per 40 guests, so four. Add one for every four units if alcohol is served. Include at least one wheelchair-accessible unit. Check the county permit rules for your event size before booking.
Can you service a long-term job in Media every week?
Weekly service is included on long-term units in Media and across Delco. In Delco, the tech pumps, cleans, and restocks paper and sanitizer. For Delaware County jobs, billing runs on a 28-day cycle. Call to schedule pickup when the job wraps, or the rental renews. For Delaware County jobs, extra visits are available on request.
What do vendors need for a Swarthmore street fair?
The Delaware County Health Department licenses event food stands. Vendors must apply three weeks ahead. Each needs a warm-water wash station with at least 5 gallons. For guests, plan one hand wash station per two toilets when food is served.
Can you deliver on a Saturday to a home in Chester?
We deliver Monday through Saturday, so a Saturday drop in Chester works. Book a few days ahead, since Chester is a long run from our yard. In Delco, the driver calls about 30 minutes before arrival. For Delaware County jobs, nobody needs to be home if the spot is marked.
Is a wheelchair-accessible unit roomy enough for a caregiver?
Our wheelchair-accessible unit has a 60-inch interior turning space. That leaves room for a wheelchair and often a helper. Ask us to place it on the flattest, firmest ground near your event. For public events in Delco, plan at least 5 percent of units in each group as accessible.
