How renting works in Georgia
Renting a portable toilet in Georgia is a four-part problem: how many units the rule requires, where they can legally sit, how often they must be serviced, and who carries the liability if something spills. Most quotes only address the first one.
Start with the number
Georgia publishes two tables — one for construction sites, one for special events. Both are built into this calculator, adjustments included.
Calculated from Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 511-3-6-.08 Appendix Table 2. The table assumes units are serviced daily, and accessible units are provided per the Georgia Accessibility Code. Crowd sizes between rows round up to the next row. Call (470) 431-3553 to turn this into a quote.
How it works
What happens after you call
- 1
Tell us the job
Unit type, the delivery address, dates, and either your crew size or your peak crowd. That is enough to size the order against the Georgia tables.
- 2
We size it against the rule
Construction jobs go through OSHA Table 1 as Georgia adopts it. Events go through Table 2, including the sewered-toilet subtraction and the 25% alcohol adjustment.
- 3
We route it to a certified company
The job goes to a portable sanitation company holding a current Waste Removal and Disposal Permit. That permit is issued by the county where the company is based and is valid statewide.

You get the quote in writing
Written quote within 24 hours of a weekday request, or a same-day callback when you call before 3pm Eastern. Quoted pricing is held for 14 days from the date issued. If the delivered price would differ from the quote, we tell you why before you commit.
- 5
Delivery, service, pickup
Placement is confirmed against truck access, and on events against the rule that units stay accessible for maintenance by truck at all times. Service intervals are set before delivery, not after.
