How does delivery and placement work in Columbia?
Columbia climbs steeply from the river, and many streets above Front Street are hills lined with row homes. Most row homes have a rear alley with a small pad or yard. We set units on the alley side and block the wheels on a slope. Hills get slick in snow and ice, so winter drops may wait for salted streets. Steep alleys can be too tight for a trailer, so restroom trailers go in a lot or a wide driveway.

Can a porta potty sit on a hilly Columbia alley?
Yes, on most Columbia alleys, if we find a flat pad about 4 by 4 feet. On a slope, we shim the base level so the door closes right. Units stay out of the alley lane so neighbors can drive through.
If there is no flat spot, a lot down the block often works. Ask your neighbor or the borough.
Do you deliver across the river to Wrightsville?
Yes. Wrightsville sits about 15 miles from our yard, just over the Route 30 bridge from Columbia. Same-day delivery works when you call by 12 pm Mon-Sat. Pricing matches our Lancaster County rates. Wrightsville builders and families use the same price sheet and the same one-fee delivery.
For more of York County, see our York page. Most York County towns are in our same-day zone.
What happens to my unit if the river floods?
We pull or move units on the low ground near Front Street when high water is in the forecast. Call us if the river rises, and we move the unit within 1 business day. Units on higher streets stay put.
Spring snowmelt and big storms are the usual high-water times on the Susquehanna.
What does a typical Columbia rental include?
A small crew guts a row home on a hill above Front Street for 3 months. We set 1 standard unit on the rear alley pad and wedge the base level. The crew gets weekly service. Billing runs from $155 per 28-day cycle and stops the day the crew calls.
Typical examples based on common jobs, not customer reviews.

Porta potty questions from Columbia
How much is a porta potty rental in Columbia, PA?
A standard unit costs from $165 per event or $155 per 28-day cycle in Columbia. The whole order shares one delivery and pickup fee of $45 to $95. Tax is added. We charge no fuel surcharge in Columbia.
Do I need a permit for a unit in Columbia Borough?
Not for a unit on your own yard or rear pad. A unit on a Columbia street or sidewalk needs borough approval first. County park events need a permit from Lancaster County Parks. Most Columbia backyard and rehab drops need no paperwork.
Can you deliver in Columbia in winter?
Yes. We deliver all winter, but steep Columbia streets need salt or plowing first. After a snowstorm, we may shift a delivery by 1 day for safety. Long-term units get serviced on the next clear day.
Do you serve Mountville and Washington Boro?
Yes. Mountville is about 10 miles from our yard and Washington Boro about 14. Both get same-day delivery when you call by 12 pm Mon-Sat. Weekend parties there get a Friday drop and Monday pickup for the same price.
Can a restroom trailer fit at a Columbia row home?
Usually not. A 2-stall trailer needs a straight pull-in, level ground and a dedicated 20-amp outlet within about 100 feet. Columbia row homes rarely have that space. A church lot or a wide driveway nearby works better.
