Can we serve Charleston from Anderson?
We serve Charleston on a scheduled run of about 225 miles from our Anderson yard. Charleston orders need at least 3 business days of notice. Same-day delivery is not available in Charleston. Renovations, long-term job sites and multi-unit events booked well ahead fit the Charleston route best, and mileage shows on the quote.
We have no Lowcountry yard and do not pretend to. Our own trucks make the trip on set days, and weekly service on long rentals lands on one Charleston route day. For a one-afternoon party next week, a local Charleston outfit may suit you better; for a 3-month renovation, our route works well.
Weekly service lands on the same weekday for the whole job. Your crew knows when the truck comes, and the neighbors see it at the same time each week.
Will a unit fit a tight downtown Charleston lot?
A standard unit fits most tight downtown Charleston lots if the path is at least 44 inches wide. A 36-inch Charleston garden gate is too narrow. Peninsula homes in Ansonborough, Harleston Village and South of Broad often have narrow side yards, so measure the gate and send a photo before delivery day.
| Unit | Width | Depth | Fits a 36-in gate? |
|---|---|---|---|
| PolyJohn PJN3 standard | 43.5 in | 47 in | No |
| PolyJohn Fleet deluxe | 47 in | 48 in | No |
| Satellite Freedom accessible | 66 in | 86.5 in | No |
| PolyJohn Bravo hand wash | 26.5 in | 21.5 in | Yes |
When the back yard is out of reach, a driveway or alley edge on private property works. Keep the unit off the sidewalk and street.

(864) 209-8789Free quoteHow early do Charleston special events need a permit?
Charleston special events need a permit application about 60 to 120 days before the event. The city's Special Events Committee reviews each one. The clock starts once a complete application and fee are in. Book restrooms after approval, and give us at least 3 business days for the scheduled run.
Read the process on the City of Charleston special events page. Private weddings at a venue follow the venue's rules instead, so ask the venue about restroom placement and truck access.
For guest counts, use our porta potty calculator. For weddings, compare units with a trailer on our wedding restroom page.
How do low ground and hurricane season affect a Charleston rental?
Low ground and hurricane season affect every Charleston rental. Charleston sits about 3 feet above sea level, and Hurricane Hugo's eye came ashore at Charleston Harbor in 1989. Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30. We stake every unit, and storm closures can move a Charleston route day.
- Place units on the highest firm ground on the lot, out of puddle lines.
- Stakes keep a 165-pound unit upright in coastal wind.
- If a storm closes roads, we call you to set a new Charleston route day.
- Follow local emergency orders; never move a unit yourself.
Which Charleston ZIP codes and permit office apply?
We deliver to Charleston ZIP codes 29401, 29403, 29407, 29412, 29414 and 29492. The city spans Charleston and Berkeley counties, with Daniel Island and the Cainhoy Peninsula on the Berkeley side. The City of Charleston Permit Center handles building permits, and Building Plan Review answers at 843-579-6416.
| ZIP | Areas |
|---|---|
| 29401 / 29403 | Peninsula: South of Broad, French Quarter, Ansonborough, Wagener Terrace |
| 29407 / 29414 | West Ashley: Avondale, Byrnes Down, Riverland Terrace area |
| 29412 | James Island |
| 29492 | Daniel Island, Cainhoy |
Visit the City of Charleston Permit Center. A spot in a state road right-of-way also needs SCDOT approval, so private property is the simpler choice.
How does a long Charleston renovation rental work?
A long Charleston renovation rental bills in 28-day cycles with weekly service included. A 10-day job and a 28-day job cost the same in one cycle. Service lands on the same Charleston route day each week. When the work ends, call or text for pickup, and there is no removal fee.

(864) 209-8789Free quoteDo Charleston job sites need hand washing too?
Charleston job sites need hand washing too. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51(f) calls for washing facilities with soap and towels on construction sites. One PolyJohn Bravo two-station hand wash station holds 22 gallons of fresh water, enough for about 350 hand washes between weekly services on the Charleston route day.
Historic renovations often have the water shut off for weeks. A hand wash station fixes that without tying into the house. We suggest 1 two-station hand wash station for every 4 toilets, which is our recommendation, not the legal minimum.
| Option | Water | Washes per fill |
|---|---|---|
| PolyJohn Bravo, 2 stations | 22 gallons | About 350 |
| PolyJohn PSW1, 1 station | 15.5 gallons | About 250 |
| Deluxe unit with inside sink | Onboard tank | Built into the toilet |

Questions renters ask before booking
Why can't you bring a porta potty to Charleston today?
Charleston is about 225 miles from our Anderson yard, so every Charleston order runs on a scheduled day. We need at least 3 business days. Same-day service is only offered in our Upstate route area.
What does a long-term porta potty cost for a Charleston renovation?
A standard unit starts at $155 per 28-day cycle with weekly service, plus a one-time delivery fee starting at $45. Charleston is past our 25-mile zone, so mileage is a separate line. SC sales tax is listed too, and the itemized quote is final.
Can a porta potty go on the sidewalk in front of a Charleston house?
We place units on private property, such as a driveway or side yard. Sidewalks and streets belong to the city or the state, and using them needs their approval first.
Do you remove units from Charleston before a hurricane?
When a storm threatens, call us and we will work out the safest plan for your site, including an earlier pickup if roads are open. Units stay staked until our driver arrives.
Is a restroom trailer an option for a Charleston wedding?
A 2-station restroom trailer starts at $1,150 for a weekend, plus mileage to Charleston. For Charleston, the trailer needs a 110-volt, 20-amp outlet within 100 feet. It also needs level ground about 20 feet long.
