Do I need a porta potty for my home remodel?
You need a porta potty for a home remodel when the crew will work more than a day or two and your bathrooms are torn out, off limits or in use by your family. Frisco also requires sanitation on residential construction sites. One unit keeps crews out of your house and saves cleanup.
Where should a porta potty go at my house?
Put the porta potty at the side or rear of the house, on level ground, with the door facing away from the street and neighbors. Keep it off the sidewalk and away from windows. The crew can roll it into a backyard through a gate at least 48 inches wide with no steps.
- Tell dispatch about low wires, sprinkler heads and the septic lid.
- Ask your HOA if a screen or set-back is required.
- Choose a spot the service truck can reach every week.

How long can I keep it, and how is it billed?
Keep the porta potty as long as the remodel runs. Dennis Rental Works bills every 28 days at the same rate after the first cycle, which also carries the one-time delivery and pickup fee. Weekly cleaning is included. Billing stops the day you call for pickup, so call the day the crew finishes.
| Remodel length | Cycles billed | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4 weeks | 1 | One cycle covers it |
| 5–8 weeks | 2 | Call for pickup the day the crew leaves |
| 3–7 months | 4–8 | Ask for the long-term rate |
Questions renters ask us
Will my HOA let me have a porta potty?
Most Frisco HOAs allow a portable toilet during permitted construction or a short event, but rules vary by community. Check your HOA covenants first. Placing the unit at the side or rear of the home, with the door turned away from the street, avoids most complaints.
Where should I put the porta potty?
Put the unit on firm, level ground within about 25 feet of where the truck can park. Keep it off sidewalks and streets, at least 10 feet from doors and windows, and clear of overhead wires and septic lids. The service truck must reach it every week.
Can you put it in my backyard?
Yes, if the crew can roll it there. Units arrive empty and go in by hand truck. The path needs a gate at least 48 inches wide, firm ground and no steps. Wet clay after rain can make backyard placement impossible until the ground dries.
Will your truck damage my driveway or lawn?
Drivers avoid soft ground and use the shortest firm path. Heavy trucks can still mark wet lawns. Under our rental terms, Dennis Rental Works is not responsible for driveway, sprinkler or landscaping damage at the placement you request. Tell us about sprinkler heads and soft spots.
How much does it cost to rent a porta potty in Frisco?
A standard porta potty rental from Dennis Rental Works usually runs about $175–$275 per 28-day cycle with weekly cleaning included. A one-time delivery and pickup fee of about $45–$110 is added on the first invoice. These are estimates; your written quote is final.
How do I end my rental and get it picked up?
Call (469) 326-5556 or email dispatch when you are done. Dennis Rental Works does not pick up long-term units automatically, so billing continues until you request pickup. Billing stops on your pickup request date, and the truck collects the unit within 1–2 business days.
