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

Franklin is the Williamson County seat, not a Nashville suburb we service the same way, and three local realities shape almost every Franklin order: a right-of-way code that shuts the Cool Springs corridor to street and lane work from Thanksgiving through New Year's Day, a historic downtown whose Main Street and main pikes are actually state roads that fill up with festivals from April to December, and a Harpeth River that set its record crest at Franklin in May 2010 with a winter that brings about 80 freezing nights a year. Here is how each one changes what we recommend.

### Why Franklin's freezing nights and the Harpeth River change how a unit is placed and serviced

Franklin summers are hot but shorter than in Texas or the Deep South. At the Franklin weather station on the Harpeth, the July average high is about 89 degrees and the station logs about 47 days a year at 90 degrees or more, mostly June through August. That is enough heat and humidity to speed up breakdown inside a tank, so on busy jobsites and summer events we keep service weekly and add a mid-week visit for large crews and food-service events rather than lean on extra deodorizer.

Winter is the bigger planning issue. The same station records about 80 nights a year at or below freezing, far more than most of the Southern cities we serve, so from late fall into early spring we add antifreeze to tanks and hand-wash stations and keep units on level, stable footing. The Harpeth River is the other factor. The National Weather Service puts flood stage at Franklin at 30 feet, and the record crest there is 35.32 feet on May 2, 2010, just above the 1948 mark. Rain falls in every season, about 53 inches a year with spring the wettest, so on low ground near the river or a creek we set units on the highest firm spot the truck can reach and move them when a crest is forecast.

### The Main Street festival calendar and the Cool Springs holiday window

Downtown Franklin is a 16-block historic district, and its event calendar runs from spring to Christmas. The city lists the Main Street Festival on the fourth full weekend in April with more than 150 arts and crafters, Franklin on the Fourth downtown with fireworks at The Park at Harlinsdale Farm, Bluegrass Along the Harpeth in July, Pumpkinfest on Main Street the weekend before Halloween, the Christmas Parade on the first Saturday in December, and Dickens of a Christmas the second weekend in December. Downtown blocks are tight and lined with historic storefronts, so we plan event units on the organizer's approved footprint, deliver before streets close, keep hand-wash stations beside the food vendors, and service between festival days on two-day events.

The holidays also bring a rule that is specific to Franklin. The city's right-of-way code bars permits and occupation for construction, road closures, and lane closures in the Cool Springs corridor from Thanksgiving Day through New Year's Day, inclusive. That corridor runs from the city limits along Franklin Road, Mack Hatcher Parkway, Liberty Pike, and Carothers Parkway. If a commercial job in Cool Springs needs a unit anywhere in the street or right-of-way, we plan it before Thanksgiving or keep it fully on private property until January, because a street placement will not be approved in that window.

### Placement, state-owned streets, and the Franklin right-of-way permit

On private property in Franklin, a driveway, a fenced jobsite, a subdivision lot, or a commercial pad with clear truck access, you generally do not need a city permit for a portable toilet. Franklin's code requires a permit to occupy or obstruct any street, alley, sidewalk, or other right-of-way with construction equipment, materials, or debris, and it asks for the location and plans, posts a surety before issue, and decides within five working days. If a sidewalk is blocked, the permit holder must provide a safe temporary walkway with barricades and signage, which is why we keep units off sidewalks and curb ramps wherever we can.

Downtown has a twist: Main Street, West Main Street, Columbia Pike, Hillsboro Road, Lewisburg Pike, Franklin Road, Murfreesboro Road, Hwy 96, and Mack Hatcher Parkway are owned and maintained by the Tennessee Department of Transportation, not the city, so a placement along those routes is not the city's alone to approve. If a job needs curb space blocked, the city asks for at least a week's notice on a temporary parking restriction. In winter the city salts major roads, collectors, and dangerous hills and curves first, so on hilly neighborhood streets we plan deliveries around ice. Tell us the exact address and whether the spot is private or public, and we confirm which office governs it and coordinate before delivery.

## Porta potty rental in Franklin, TN: FAQs

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

A standard portable toilet in Franklin, TN 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 Franklin 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 Franklin rate.

### How many porta potties do I need for a Franklin 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 Franklin jobsite we recommend sizing above the OSHA minimum for summer crews, adding a hand-wash station at the break area, and winterizing units from late fall through early spring, when freezing nights are routine. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

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

Our standard Franklin 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. In summer, with about 47 days a year at 90 degrees or more, we add a mid-week visit for large crews and food-service events. Two-day downtown festivals such as the Main Street Festival and Pumpkinfest get a service between days. In winter we winterize tanks and hand-wash stations and plan routes around icy hills. Service is built into the rate, so compliance never depends on anyone remembering to call.

### Do I need an ADA-accessible unit for my Franklin 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 Franklin event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Franklin 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 Franklin, Tennessee?

On private property in Franklin, a driveway, a fenced jobsite, or a commercial pad with clear truck access, you generally do not need a city permit for a portable toilet. Franklin's municipal code requires a permit to occupy or obstruct any street, alley, sidewalk, or other right-of-way with construction equipment, materials, or debris; the application states the location and plans, a surety is posted before the permit issues, and the city decides within five working days. No such permits are issued in the Cool Springs corridor from Thanksgiving Day through New Year's Day. Main Street, Columbia Pike, Hillsboro Road, and several other main routes are state roads maintained by TDOT, so placement along them may involve the state as well. 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 Franklin?

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 Franklin?

Yes. We deliver and service portable toilets throughout Franklin and the surrounding Williamson 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 Franklin?

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 Franklin, plan a station near the vendors and one near the toilets to cover both inspection points.

### Can I put a portable toilet in the street in Cool Springs during the holidays?

Not between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. Franklin's right-of-way code bars permits and occupation for construction, road closures, and lane closures in the Cool Springs corridor from Thanksgiving Day through New Year's Day, inclusive, in the area bounded by the city limits, Franklin Road, Mack Hatcher Parkway, Liberty Pike, and Carothers Parkway. A unit on private property, such as a fenced jobsite or a commercial lot with truck access, is not affected. If your job needs street or right-of-way space in Cool Springs, tell us early and we plan the placement before Thanksgiving or on private ground until January.
