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

That depends on who owns the road. Township and borough streets fall under local rules, and some require a street-use permit. State routes need a PennDOT highway occupancy permit. We recommend placing the unit on your own driveway or lot whenever possible. Confirm with your municipal office before placing anything on a road.

Rules for Lehigh County come from the Your township or borough office; PennDOT District 5 for state routes; check with that office before using public land.

Where should a porta potty go on a Lehigh County property?

Choose flat, firm ground within about 15 feet of where our truck can park. Newer subdivisions in Upper Macungie and Lower Macungie usually have wide driveways that work well. Farm lots in Lynn and Weisenberg Townships may need a gravel pad by the lane, not a soft field.

• In Upper Milford and Lower Milford, keep the unit off septic drain fields and away from your well cap.
• On narrow borough streets in Catasauqua or Coplay, a driveway spot keeps the sidewalk clear.
• For warehouse jobs off Route 22 and I-78, mark the drop spot at the gate so the driver can find it.
• A standard unit fits through a 4-foot gate, so backyard spots in Salisbury Township often work.
