Event vs. Construction Porta Potty: What's the Difference?
What is the difference between an event and a construction porta potty?
An event porta potty is rented for a few days, arrives extra clean, and has no cleaning visits included. A construction porta potty can stay up to 28 days per cycle and includes weekly cleaning and restocking. The unit itself is often the same standard design; the rental terms differ.
| Event rental | Construction rental | |
|---|---|---|
| Length | A few days | Up to 28 days per cycle |
| Cleaning | Clean on arrival; extra cleaning billed | Weekly cleaning included |
| Delivery | Day before the event | Same day or next day |
| Pickup | Set date after the event | When you call |
Which one should I book?
Book an event rental for parties, church events, reunions and anything under a week. Book a construction or long-term rental for remodels, jobsites, septic repairs and anything longer than a week. A caller in our recordings asked this exact question before booking a few-day event.
