Clarke County · Northeast Georgia
Porta potty rental in Athens is handled by portable sanitation companies permitted through Northeast Health District, the Health Authority for Clarke County. Standard units run $120–$260 for an event weekend and $135–$300 per month on construction terms.
UGA home football Saturdays are the defining demand driver. Tailgating spreads across campus, downtown, and private lots simultaneously, so demand spikes across many small placements rather than one large deployment — and September kickoffs regularly run in extreme heat.
Student housing and downtown mixed-use development drive the local construction calendar, and both tend to be tight urban sites where the pump truck competes with delivery traffic on narrow streets.
University of Georgia campus placements are permitted through the university rather than Athens-Clarke County, and campus service windows are restricted on gamedays.

Georgia rule 511-3-6
From Rules of the Georgia Department of Public Health, Chapter 511-3-6 — Portable Sanitation Contractors, quoted with citations.
“Each special event sponsor and construction site owner utilizing a portable sanitation unit must and show proof of a service contract with a certified portable sanitation company.”
511-3-6-.03(5)
Why it matters: This obligation sits on the customer, not just the vendor. If you sponsor an event or own a construction site in Georgia, you are the party who must be able to produce the contract.
“No person shall engage in the removal or disposal of the contents of a portable sanitation unit without having obtained a Waste Removal and Disposal Permit from the Health Authority for the county in which the business is based. The permit must be renewed annually, and shall be valid in every county throughout the State.”
511-3-6-.03(2)
Why it matters: The permit is issued by the county where the company is based but is valid statewide — so an Atlanta-permitted hauler can legally service a job in Savannah. Ask for the permit, not for a local address.
“The property owner and special event sponsor are responsible for all prohibited discharge and unapproved spillage of sewage associated with a portable sanitation unit. The property owner and special event sponsor must notify the portable sanitation company if any unit becomes unsanitary, unsafe, or causes a prohibited discharge.”
511-3-6-.03(4)
Why it matters: Georgia assigns discharge liability to you, the site owner or sponsor — not only to the hauler. Documented service intervals are your evidence.
In Clarke County, the Health Authority issuing those permits is Northeast Health District. The state Environmental Health office can confirm a company’s standing at (404) 657-6534.

How it works
Tell us the job
Unit type, the Athens delivery address or cross streets, dates, and either your crew size or your peak crowd. That is enough to size the order against the Georgia tables.
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.
We route it to a certified company
The job goes to a portable sanitation company holding a current Waste Removal and Disposal Permit recognised by Northeast Health District. 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.
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.
Frequently asked questions
District 10 is headquartered in Athens and covers Barrow, Clarke, Elbert, Greene, Jackson, Madison, Morgan, Oconee, Oglethorpe, and Walton counties. Providers based in Athens commonly serve Oconee, Jackson, and Barrow alongside Clarke.
Tight enough that it shapes the job. Student housing and downtown mixed-use construction sit on narrow urban lots where the pump truck competes directly with delivery traffic, so service timing usually has to be scheduled rather than assumed.
Both draw meaningfully on regional inventory, and Twilight Criterium in particular closes a downtown street circuit, which constrains where units can sit and when they can be serviced. Neither compares to a home football Saturday for overall demand.
Close to the baseline for most of the year, with sharp spikes on UGA home football weekends when demand across campus, downtown, and private lots peaks simultaneously. Outside the football calendar, Athens prices much like the metro.
