Porta potty rental in Marietta runs $120–$260 per event weekend and $135–$300 monthly. The local catch: many Marietta-addressed sites sit in unincorporated Cobb County, which changes your permitting office even though the mailing address says Marietta. We confirm jurisdiction before the order goes out.

Local conditions
Why standard porta potty worksdifferently in Marietta
Glover Park sits in the middle of Marietta Square, so units must be staged on the surrounding street grid and walked in. Jim R. Miller Park, by contrast, has direct truck access and handles fair-scale deployments.
Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park is federal land — placements there run through the National Park Service, not the city or county.
Permitting authority
Portable sanitation companies serving Marietta are permitted by Cobb & Douglas Public Health, the Health Authority for Cobb County within district 3-1.
Event permits
City of Marietta special event permit handles events inside marietta city limits, including marietta square and glover park. Square street closures require a separate City of Marietta right-of-way approval.

Georgia rule 511-3-6
What Georgia rule requires in Marietta
From Rules of the Georgia Department of Public Health, Chapter 511-3-6 — Portable Sanitation Contractors, quoted with citations.
Haulers need an annual Waste Removal and Disposal Permit
“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.
Spillage liability falls on the property owner and event sponsor
“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 Cobb County, the Health Authority issuing those permits is Cobb & Douglas Public Health. The state Environmental Health office can confirm a company’s standing at (404) 657-6534.
Is my Marietta address inside the city or unincorporated Cobb County?+
This matters more than most people expect, and a Marietta mailing address does not settle it — a large share of Marietta-addressed properties sit in unincorporated Cobb County. The City of Marietta issues permits inside city limits, while Cobb County Community Development handles unincorporated addresses. Confirm jurisdiction before assuming which office reviews your permit.
Can porta potties be placed on Marietta Square?+
Glover Park sits in the middle of the Square, so units are typically staged on the surrounding street grid and walked in rather than driven to position. Square street closures need a separate City of Marietta right-of-way approval on top of the event permit. Jim R. Miller Park, by contrast, has direct truck access and handles fair-scale deployments comfortably.
Who issues portable sanitation permits for Marietta?+
Cobb & Douglas Public Health, which serves as the Health Authority for both Cobb and Douglas counties as public health district 3-1. It is the same office that permits companies serving Douglasville, which is why the two markets often share providers.
Can I get a unit placed at Kennesaw Mountain?+
Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park is federal land, so placements there go through the National Park Service rather than the City of Marietta or Cobb County. Trail-adjacent positions within the park also have no truck access, which rules them out for serviced units regardless of permission.
Local detail
The Marietta problem we get asked about most
A large share of Marietta-addressed job sites are actually in unincorporated Cobb County, which changes the permitting office even though the mailing address says Marietta. Confirm jurisdiction before assuming the City of Marietta issues your permit.
What that changes about the order: Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park is federal land — placements there run through the National Park Service, not the city or county. For standard porta potty specifically, Standard delivery windows run 1-3 business days statewide; same-day and next-day placement is common in metro Atlanta when requested before noon.
Same metro heat and humidity profile as Atlanta is the factor that most often changes a service schedule here. Georgia rule defines servicing as emptying the waste and cleaning the unit, and in Metro Atlanta conditions the honest answer is often that a weekly interval is the floor, not the target.
