Can I get a porta potty delivered today in Butler?
Yes, when you call before 1 PM Monday through Saturday and the address is in Butler County or the Pittsburgh north suburbs. The order is added to the nearest truck's route and the unit is usually on site within 3 hours in the City of Butler and Butler Township, and by end of day elsewhere in the county. The same-day charge is $75 because a driver leaves his route.

What should I do while waiting for the unit?
Clear a flat spot the driver can reach from the street or driveway, unlock the gate, and text a photo of the spot to the office number. If the septic has backed up, keep people off the drain field so the truck and the unit stay on firm ground. The driver calls when 20 minutes out.
- Call (724) 233-8539 and say it is an emergency; the office checks the nearest truck while you are on the line.
- Pick the spot: driveway edge or a firm, flat patch within 25 feet of where a truck can stop.
- Open access: gate codes, dogs inside, cars moved.
- Delivery: unit leveled, stocked, door facing the house. Pay by card or text link.
- When the plumber finishes, call for pickup; billing stops at pickup.
Questions customers ask about this rental
Our porta potty vendor never showed up and the crew is on site. How fast can you be here?
Call before 1 PM and a unit leaves the Butler yard on the next truck; in the City of Butler, Butler Township, Meridian and Lyndora that is usually within 3 hours. Tell the office the gate situation and where the truck can park and the driver will not need to call back.
Why is same-day delivery extra?
Because the driver leaves a scheduled route of service stops to make one delivery. The $75 covers that detour. If the unit can wait until the next morning, there is no charge for next-day delivery.
Our septic failed on a Saturday. Can you come Sunday?
Yes, by arrangement. Call Saturday before 7 PM and we schedule a Sunday morning drop for $150 on top of the rental. Saturday same-day delivery (before 1 PM) is the cheaper option if you catch it early.
Do I need a sink if my water is off?
If the house has no water at all, take the deluxe unit with an interior sink, or add a handwashing station beside a standard unit. Both have their own water tanks, so hands get washed with soap and running water, not just sanitizer.
Can I keep it a few extra days if the repair runs long?
Yes. Call before your pickup date and we extend. Four-day rentals that run to a week move to the 5–14 day rate; two weeks that run longer move to the 28-day rate, which is usually cheaper. You never pay two overlapping rentals.
Will a unit fit on my driveway next to the cars?
A standard unit needs a 4 × 4 ft footprint and a 48-inch path. Most driveways in Butler hold a unit beside one parked car. The driver sets it where you mark or at the nearest safe spot and leaves room to open car doors.
