A weekend porta potty rental schedule is simple: units for Saturday or Sunday events drop off Friday or Saturday and get picked up Monday, at no extra cost. We work Monday through Saturday, 7 AM to 7 PM, with no Sunday deliveries. Holiday weekends and graduation season fill fast, so book 1–2 weeks ahead.
When does a porta potty arrive for a weekend event?
A porta potty for a weekend event usually arrives the day before, which means Friday for a Saturday event. Sunday events get a Saturday or Friday drop-off, since we do not deliver on Sunday. Units arrive cleaned and stocked with toilet paper and hand sanitizer, ready for the first guest.
Dropping early gives you time to check the spot before guests arrive. You do not need to be home. Mark the spot with a cone or text a photo, as shown in our delivery checklist.
When is the porta potty picked up after the event?
Event porta potties are picked up the next business day after the event, at no extra cost. Saturday and Sunday events get a Monday pickup, and Monday holiday events usually get a Tuesday pickup. The flat event rate covers the extra days the unit sits on your property before and after.
Leave the unit where the driver set it, with the path clear. Close the door and latch it after the last use so wind and rain stay out. Check the weekend forecast at the National Weather Service before you set up outdoor seating near the unit.
What is the drop-off and pickup day for each event?
Drop-off and pickup days follow one rule: units arrive the day before and leave the next business day, never on Sunday. The table below shows the usual schedule for weekend events, holidays, graduations, and football Saturdays. Your quote lists the exact days, so confirm them when you book.
| Event day | Usual drop-off | Usual pickup |
|---|---|---|
| Friday | Thursday | Saturday or Monday |
| Saturday | Friday | Monday |
| Sunday | Friday or Saturday | Monday |
| Saturday and Sunday (2-day event) | Friday | Monday |
| Memorial Day or Labor Day (Monday) | Saturday | Tuesday |
| July 4th on a weekday | July 3rd | Next business day |
| July 4th on a Saturday | Friday, July 3rd | Monday |
| Graduation party (Saturday in May) | Friday | Monday |
| Football Saturday tailgate | Friday | Monday |

How far ahead should I book for a holiday weekend?
Holiday weekend porta potty rentals should be booked 1–2 weeks ahead. July 4th, Memorial Day, and Labor Day draw family reunions, lake parties, and church events at the same time, and weddings often book months ahead. For a normal weekday job, next-business-day delivery covers most orders.
| Event type | Book this far ahead |
|---|---|
| Regular weekend party | About 1 week |
| July 4th, Memorial Day, Labor Day | 1–2 weeks |
| Graduation parties in May | 1–2 weeks |
| Fall football Saturdays | 1–2 weeks |
| Weddings | Several months |
| Weekday job site | Next business day |
Lake weekends on Neely Henry, Weiss Lake, and Lake Guntersville book up early around the 4th. For weddings, see our wedding restroom rental options, including restroom trailers.
Can I get a porta potty the same day before a weekend?
Same-day porta potty delivery is possible Monday through Saturday when you order by 12 PM, subject to truck availability. A Friday or Saturday morning order can often go out that afternoon. Towns 60–80 miles out may get afternoon or next-morning delivery, and a same-day fee may apply and shows on your quote.
Holiday weekends leave fewer open trucks, so same-day is harder then. Read more on same-day porta potty delivery. If your event is Sunday, Saturday by noon is your last chance to order.
Does a weekend event unit get cleaned during the event?
A weekend event porta potty arrives clean and fully stocked, but it does not get serviced during the event unless you add that service. For a 1-day party, that is usually fine. For 2-day events, big crowds, or hot weather, ask about mid-event service or add more units so lines stay short.
