How does delivery and placement work in Scranton?
Scranton is a valley city, and streets climb steeply on both sides. The Hill Section, North Scranton and West Side have many sloped lots and tight driveways. We level each unit with blocks and face the door uphill. Double houses with shared driveways are common, so check with neighbors before delivery day. In winter, snow and ice on hills can delay a drop. Downtown blocks need city approval for any curbside unit.

How far ahead should I book a Scranton delivery?
Book 2–3 business days ahead for Scranton. The city is about 135 miles from our Lancaster yard, roughly two and a half hours up I-81 or the Turnpike's Northeast Extension. Scheduled routes let us bring several units at once and keep the trip cost reasonable.
For big downtown events, book two weeks out.
Can you place a unit on a steep Scranton driveway?
Yes. Our driver finds the flattest 4 by 4 foot spot and levels the unit with blocks. On steep Hill Section or West Side lots, the door faces uphill. A strap goes on if wind or slope calls for one, and we keep shared driveways open.
A photo of the spot with your order helps us plan.
What does a Scranton parade group need?
A parade route stop for 500 people needs about ten standard units and three handwashing stations. Add one or two wheelchair-accessible units near paved areas. Scranton parade units start from $165 each, and one delivery fee covers the whole downtown order.
Book early in the season. Downtown event weekends fill our Scranton trucks fast.
What does a typical Scranton rental include?
A crew rehabs a Hill Section double house over three months. One standard unit sits at the top of the shared driveway, leveled on the slope. Weekly service runs on a set Scranton route day. Billing runs in 28-day cycles from $155.
Typical examples based on common jobs, not customer reviews.

With city approval in hand, organizers book a load of standard units, wheelchair-accessible units and handwashing stations two weeks ahead. The Scranton load arrives Friday, stays through the weekend and leaves Monday. Mid-event service handles the Saturday rush.

Porta potty questions from Scranton
Do you deliver to Dunmore and Clarks Summit?
Yes. Dunmore, Clarks Summit, Dickson City and Old Forge are on our Scranton route. Those towns need 2–3 business days of notice too. Dunmore sites close to Scranton often share a service day with city jobs, which keeps our route tight.
Do Scranton job sites get weekly cleaning?
Yes. Every Scranton job-site unit gets pumped, cleaned and restocked once a week. Big crews can add a second service day. Job-site units start from $155 per 28-day cycle, and the weekly visit is part of that price.
Is there a wheelchair-accessible unit for Scranton events?
Yes. Scranton events can add wheelchair-accessible units from $215 each. Plan a level, firm spot about 9 by 9 feet for each unit. Downtown sidewalks and park paths work well, while steep lawns in Nay Aug Park may need a paved spot instead.
What if a storm delays my Scranton delivery?
We call you and set a new time. Winter storms on I-81 and the Pocono stretch of the Turnpike can slow the trip north. Service visits move to the next open day, and we let you know before your crew shows up expecting a clean unit.
Do you charge per unit for Scranton delivery?
No. Scranton orders pay one delivery and pickup fee, quoted by distance. Adding units to the same address does not add delivery fees. That is why Scranton contractors often order the handwashing station together with the first units.
