Georgia rule 511-3-6

What Georgia rule requires

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.

Only human waste — and no harsh chemicals

The property owner, as the originator, is responsible for ensuring that the portable sanitation unit is only used for the disposal of human excreta. Commercial waste, grease, hazardous chemicals, and non human excreta shall not be discarded into portable sanitation units. No strong bases, acids or organic solvents shall be used in the operation of a portable sanitation unit.

511-3-6-.03(4), 511-3-6-.03(9)

Why it matters: On job sites this is the rule most often broken — crews dumping paint wash, solvent, or grease into a unit shifts a hazardous-waste problem onto the site owner.

How it works

What happens after you call

  1. 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. 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. 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.

  4. 4

    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. 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.

Frequently asked questions

Porta Potty Rental: common questions

What is included in a standard porta potty rental?

Delivery, placement, the agreed servicing schedule, and pickup at the end of the term. Servicing under Georgia rule means emptying the waste and cleaning the unit. Toilet paper is standard; hand sanitizer dispensers are usually available on request at around $10–$25 per unit per rental.

How many people can use one porta potty before it needs servicing?

A standard unit with a 60 to 70 gallon tank handles roughly 175 to 200 uses before servicing is needed. That figure drops on flushing units, because flush water fills the tank faster, and it drops in sustained heat where odor control degrades before capacity does.

How long can I keep a porta potty on site?

As long as you need it, provided servicing keeps pace. Rentals run from a single event weekend to multi-year construction placements. Monthly terms with weekly servicing are the standard structure for anything beyond a few days, and they price considerably lower per day than weekend rates.

What size is a standard porta potty?

A standard unit has roughly a 43 by 47 inch base and stands about 92 inches tall, weighing around 180 to 200 pounds empty. Plan the placement area with clearance for the door swing and a route the service truck can reach, not just the footprint itself.
