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

Rules change with the road. Bethlehem, Easton, and each borough set their own street-use rules. State routes such as PA-248 fall under a PennDOT highway occupancy permit. Our advice is simple: keep the unit on private ground when you can. Call your municipal office to confirm before placing anything on a street.

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

Where does a porta potty fit best on a Northampton County lot?

Pick level, solid ground within roughly 15 feet of truck parking. Rowhome blocks in Easton and Bethlehem rarely have room out front, so a rear alley or driveway works better. Slate Belt lots in Bangor and Pen Argyl often slope, so find a flat patch near the road.

• In Lower Saucon and Williams Townships, steep wooded drives can stop a truck; mark a spot near the road.
• Keep units off septic fields on rural lots in Moore and Bushkill Townships.
• For a Nazareth-area farm event, put the unit near the gravel lane, not in a soft hayfield.
• Leave a clear 4-foot path if the unit must go through a backyard gate.
