## What renting a porta potty in Lawrence is actually like

Lawrence is the University of Kansas town on the Kansas River, and it has a city ordinance written specifically for portable toilets. Three local realities shape almost every Lawrence order: a city code that bars portable toilets from residentially zoned property except in listed cases, including a home construction job with a written service contract and a short private-event window of four days twice a year; a Jayhawk football exception that opens every property in the city to portable toilets from the day before a home game at the newly renovated David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium until the Monday after; and a right-of-way permit required for any obstruction of the street, with lead times from three to twenty business days. Here is how each one changes what we recommend.

### Why a wet June, a real winter, and a hilly town change how a Lawrence unit is placed and serviced

Lawrence has a true four-season climate. The 1991-2020 normals put the wettest months in late spring, with about 5.7 inches of rain in June and 5.1 in May out of roughly 39 inches a year, and a normal July high near 89 with about 38 days a year at 90 degrees or hotter. Summer heat still speeds up how fast waste breaks down in a tank, so from late spring through September we treat weekly service as the floor on a busy jobsite and add a mid-week visit for large crews, game-day setups, and food-service events.

Winter is a bigger factor here than in Texas or Oklahoma. Lawrence averages about 94 nights a year at or below freezing and around 10 inches of snow, so on winter jobs we protect hand-wash water from freezing, set units on level, cleared ground, and plan service around snow and ice. The city code also asks that a unit not be placed where slopes, ditches, or prevailing winds can affect it, which matters on sloped lots and sites near a drainage ditch. We set units on flat, firm ground, away from ditches and the top of a slope, and anchor them on open, windy sites.

### Jayhawk game days and the Gateway District: the Lawrence football window

Lawrence's portable toilet ordinance carves out college football by name. For a period beginning one day before each scheduled University of Kansas football game at Memorial Stadium and ending the Monday after, portable toilets are allowed on all property in the city, including residential lots that normally cannot have them. When home games fall on back-to-back weekends, units may stay until the Monday after the last game, and they must be removed by that Monday. That window is why tailgate hosts, rental houses, churches, and businesses near campus all call for restrooms on the same few weekends each fall.

The stadium itself is changing. The University of Kansas Gateway District, at 11th and Mississippi, is anchored by the transformed David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium, which reopened with its first phase complete in 2025, with a second phase and a hotel and conference center planned. We book game-day units early, deliver the day before the game as the ordinance allows, service them before kickoff when a weekend runs long, and pick them up by Monday so no customer is left out of compliance. The city can also close streets when a large crowd is expected, so we time trucks around game-day traffic near campus.

### Placement under the Lawrence portable toilet ordinance and the City of Lawrence right-of-way permit

On residentially zoned property in Lawrence, a portable toilet is unlawful unless one of the code's exceptions applies. The common ones are a construction project under a city development review or permit with no sewer on site, where you must have written proof of a service contract with a disposal contractor (our rental agreement), a private event at your home, allowed for up to four consecutive days and only twice a calendar year unless the director of planning and development services grants more, the football window, and property covered by a city special event or right-of-way permit. Units are always allowed on city, county, school, university, and state property and on approved nonresidential uses. Wherever the unit goes, the code requires it to be in good repair with a latching door, serviced with periodic pump-outs, clear of structures and driveways, screened from roads and neighbors as much as the site allows, and secured when not in use.

The street is a separate question. The City of Lawrence requires a right-of-way permit for construction in the public right-of-way and for any obstruction of it, and it allows roll-off dumpsters in the street only when there is no safe place on private property; we hold a portable toilet to the same standard and look for a spot on your lot first. Permits go through the City's online permitting system, with lead times of three business days when no traffic control plan is needed, five with a standard plan, ten with a special plan, and twenty for a full closure of an arterial or collector street. Tell us the address, the zoning, and the dates, and we confirm which rule covers your spot and coordinate with the City before delivery.

## Porta potty rental in Lawrence, KS: FAQs

### How much does a porta potty rental cost in Lawrence?

A standard portable toilet in Lawrence, KS starts at $270 for a weekend rental (up to 7 days) or $320 per month, with 4 service visits included in every 28-day rental. Upgrades: deluxe flushing units run $374/weekend, ADA-accessible units $374/weekend, luxury restroom trailers from $1610/weekend. Every Lawrence rate is all-inclusive: delivery, pickup, fuel, and environmental and local fees are built into the one price, so there are no surprise line items. Online orders are $0.39 higher than the phone price; either way, we deliver and service the unit ourselves. Enter your ZIP for your exact Lawrence rate.

### How many porta potties do I need for a Lawrence jobsite (OSHA)?

OSHA's construction sanitation rule, 29 CFR 1926.51(c)(1), sets the floor: 1 toilet for 20 or fewer workers; 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up to 200; and 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers above 200. OSHA also expects a worker to reach a toilet within about a 10-minute walk. On a busy Lawrence jobsite we recommend sizing above the OSHA minimum, adding a hand-wash station at the break area, and keeping the service contract the city code requires for residential construction on file, with units set on flat ground away from slopes, ditches, and prevailing wind. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

### How often should portable toilets be serviced in Lawrence?

Our standard Lawrence monthly rental includes 4 service visits over the 28-day period, roughly weekly. Each visit pumps the tank, sanitizes the interior, and restocks paper, soap, and hand sanitizer. That schedule also meets the Lawrence code, which requires portable toilets to be serviced by a disposal contractor with periodic inspections and pump-outs, and immediately if a tank fills. Game-day and event units get serviced before the crowd returns on long weekends, busy summer sites get a mid-week visit, and in winter we protect hand-wash water from freezing and plan routes around snow. Service is built into the rate, so compliance never depends on anyone remembering to call.

### Do I need an ADA-accessible unit for my Lawrence event?

For an event open to the public, yes. The 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design require that at least 5 percent of the single-user portable toilets in each cluster be accessible, with a minimum of one, and each accessible unit is marked with the International Symbol of Accessibility. (Units provided only for construction workers are exempt.) In practice a small Lawrence event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Lawrence run $374 for a weekend. The accessible unit has ground-level entry, interior grab bars, and a full wheelchair turning radius, and it needs firm, level ground with a clear approach path. Tell us your guest count and we will build the right ratio in.

### Do I need a permit for a porta potty in Lawrence, Kansas?

In Lawrence, the first question is zoning, not the street. The city code makes portable toilets unlawful on residentially zoned property except in listed cases: a permitted construction project without on-site sewer, with written proof of a service contract with a disposal contractor; a private event of up to four consecutive days, twice a calendar year; the window from the day before a KU home football game until the Monday after; and property with a city special event or right-of-way permit. Units are allowed on city, county, school, university, and state property and approved nonresidential uses. If any part of the unit sits in the public right-of-way, the City of Lawrence requires a right-of-way permit for any obstruction, with lead times of three to twenty business days depending on the traffic control needed. Tell us the exact address and we confirm what your spot needs and coordinate it before delivery.

### What is the difference between a standard, deluxe, and restroom trailer in Lawrence?

A standard unit is the jobsite and everyday-event workhorse: enclosed, stocked, and cost-effective at $270/weekend. A deluxe flushing unit adds a foot-pump flushing bowl and an in-unit sink for guest-facing events like weddings and corporate functions at $374/weekend. A luxury restroom trailer is a climate-controlled, multi-stall unit with porcelain toilets, running-water sinks, and mirrors, indistinguishable from a fine-venue bathroom, from $1610/weekend. Pick by how guest-facing the site is and how long the rental runs.

### Can I get same-day or weekend porta potty delivery in Lawrence?

Yes. We deliver and service portable toilets throughout Lawrence and the surrounding Douglas County area, with same-day and next-day drop-offs available in most of the area when you book early. Weekend event units are delivered clean before your event and picked up after. Enter your ZIP or call (866) 858-3867 and we will confirm the soonest available delivery for your address.

### Do you rent hand-wash stations in Lawrence?

Yes. A freestanding hand-wash station pairs with any toilet unit and needs no power or water hookup: it has a foot-pump faucet, soap, and paper towels, stocked at delivery and every service visit. One station serves roughly four toilet units, the ratio most health departments expect. For food and drink events in Lawrence, plan a station near the vendors and one near the toilets to cover both inspection points.

### Can I have a portable toilet at my house in Lawrence for a party or a KU game?

Yes, within the limits the city code sets. Lawrence normally bars portable toilets on residentially zoned property, but it allows them for up to four consecutive days, no more than twice a calendar year, which covers most parties, reunions, and graduations; longer stays need approval from the director of planning and development services. KU football has its own window: from the day before each home game at Memorial Stadium until the Monday after, portable toilets are allowed on any property in the city, and they must be removed by that Monday. The code also asks that the unit be clear of driveways, screened from the street and neighbors where possible, and secured when not in use. Tell us the date, and we deliver and pick up inside the allowed window.
