Do you need a permit to put a porta potty on the street in Easton?

Easton requires a dumpster permit for street containers, and a porta potty may fall under the same rule. A unit on your own property usually needs nothing from the city. We suggest private ground when you have it. Confirm with City Hall before booking street placement.

Rules for Easton come from the City of Easton — City Hall, 123 S. Third Street (dumpster permits; Police traffic officer for no-parking signs); check with that office before using public land.

Where should I put a porta potty on an Easton hillside lot?

Many College Hill and South Side homes sit on slopes above the street. Choose a flat spot near the curb or driveway, since a tilted unit is unsafe. Our truck must park within about 15 feet of the drop point, so avoid spots up long stairs.

• In the West Ward, rear yards often open to back alleys; tell us the alley width.
• On College Hill, a driveway pad usually beats a sloped front lawn.
• Near the Bushkill Creek or the rivers, avoid low spots that hold water.
• Request police no-parking signs three days early if you need curb space.
• Leave a marked spot so the driver can drop it without you there.
