Do I need a permit for a porta potty in Scranton?
A porta potty on private property in Scranton usually needs no permit. Placement on a street, sidewalk, park or state land is different; the rules that apply in Scranton are below, each with its official source. Confirm with the office named before you book, because rules change.
City special event approval
Scranton requires special event approval for any event that uses city property, equipment or services. The Office of Community Development at City Hall, 340 North Washington Avenue, coordinates it. Hosts must carry insurance. Get approval first, then share the site map with us for unit placement. Source
Nay Aug Park pavilion rentals
Nay Aug Park pavilion renters must order and pay for any extra restrooms themselves. The Scranton Municipal Recreation Authority handles questions. Parking on grass is never allowed, so we set units beside a paved lot or path near your pavilion. Source
Nay Aug hours and alcohol
Nay Aug pavilions run 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. from May 15 to September 10. Off-season hours run to 7 p.m. through October 31. Alcohol is not allowed in the park. That means no extra unit for drinking, and pickup can follow closing time. Source
Where are porta potties used most in Scranton?
In Scranton, portable toilets are booked most for St. Patrick's Parade, La Festa Italiana and the other venues and events below. Book 2–3 weeks ahead for those dates, because event units in the area reserve early.
- St. Patrick's Parade: The Scranton St. Patrick's Parade steps off the Saturday before St. Patrick's Day. It drew about 150,000 spectators on March 14, 2026. Homes and businesses along Wyoming and North Washington Avenues host parties that need their own units. Source
- La Festa Italiana: La Festa Italiana fills Downtown Scranton over Labor Day weekend, September 4 to 7 in 2026. Food stands ring the courthouse square for days. Nearby churches and businesses hosting side events plan multi-day service. Source
- Steamtown Marathon: The Steamtown Marathon runs each October from Forest City High School to Courthouse Square. The 2026 race is October 11. Water stops and cheer zones along the course often use portable units. Source
- Nay Aug Park: Nay Aug Park is the city's largest park, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. It has several rentable pavilions spread across the grounds. Pavilion parties often add units, since renters order their own extra restrooms. Source
- McDade Park: McDade Park on the West Side is home to the Lackawanna Coal Mine tour. Picnics and group outings there spread across large lawns. Hosts should place units close to paved parking for easy service. Source

What do people in Scranton rent porta potties for?
Parade-day party on the Hill Section
A family in the Hill Section hosts 100 guests on St. Patrick's Parade Saturday. Beer is served for four hours. That calls for three units, one of them accessible. We set them in the driveway or side yard, away from the sidewalk crowds.
Graduation party at a Nay Aug pavilion
A University of Scranton family rents a Nay Aug pavilion for 90 guests in May. The park bans alcohol and parking on grass. Two units by the paved path cover four hours, with one accessible unit. Pickup follows the 8 p.m. closing.
Rehab crew in Green Ridge
A contractor restoring a Green Ridge house has eight workers on site for three months. One jobsite unit with weekly service covers the crew. We place it on the driveway, clear of the steep street. Snow months may need a shoveled path.
How many jobsite toilets does a Scranton construction site need?
A Scranton construction site needs at least 1 toilet for 20 or fewer workers under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 Table D-1, and 1 seat plus 1 urinal per 40 workers above that. For a tank that lasts the week, plan 1 standard unit per 10 workers with weekly service.
Construction activity in Scranton
- Phase I of the new Nay Aug Park pool at 500 Arthur Avenue was winterized in October 2025. A grand opening was planned for summer 2026. Phase II would add a lap pool and splash pad, so more crew units may follow. Source
- The Lackawanna Avenue Streetscape Project covers sidewalks, curbs, lighting and a retaining wall from Adams Avenue to Biden Street. Bids were due September 2025. Street crews moving block by block need units that can shift with the work. Source
- Three historic buildings at 514, 516 and 518 Lackawanna Avenue are being renovated into shops and apartments. The developer aimed to finish by mid-2026. Tight downtown lots mean units often go in a rear alley. Source

How does Scranton weather affect a rental?
Scranton-area records show a January low near 20 degrees and about 45 inches of snow a year. July highs average about 85 degrees. Steep streets in the Hill Section and West Mountain ice up fast. Winter units need a level, plowed spot a truck can reach. Source
From November through March our units leave the yard with a brine-charged tank so they keep working below freezing. Winter rental details.
