Five units cover nearly every job site, party and wedding. Compare what each one has, how much room it needs and when it is the wrong pick.
What types of porta potties can you rent?
You can rent five types of portable restrooms from Sure Portable Toilets: a standard porta potty, a flushing unit with a sink, a wheelchair-accessible unit, a freestanding handwashing station and a restroom trailer. A standard unit fits most needs; the others add water, space or comfort.
