What comes in a standard porta potty?
A standard porta potty comes with a toilet seat over a holding tank, a urinal, a roof vent, a toilet paper holder with two rolls, a hand sanitizer dispenser and an inside latch with an occupied sign. The translucent roof lets in daylight, so most units need no light for daytime use.

Standard porta potty questions
Does a standard porta potty have a sink?
Standard units have hand sanitizer only. Add a hand wash station, or rent a deluxe flushing unit with a built-in sink.
Does it have a light?
The translucent roof lights the unit by day. For night events, ask about battery lights.
Do you have units in colors other than blue?
Gray, blue and some pink units are in the fleet. Color depends on what is free for your date.
Will it smell?
Each unit gets a deodorizer charge in the tank at every service. In Valley summers, face the door away from afternoon sun and book weekly service.
