Sumter, SC Porta Potty Rental on Our Midlands Route

What does a 170-mile scheduled run mean for Sumter?

Sumter is about 170 miles from our Anderson yard. Sumter orders run on a scheduled route, so book at least 3 business days ahead. Same-day delivery is not available in Sumter. Long-term rentals, ballfield seasons and multi-unit events planned in advance are the best fit, and mileage shows on the quote.

We do not have a Sumter yard. Our own drivers make the trip on set days, and weekly service on long rentals happens on one Sumter route day. Grouping units into one delivery keeps your mileage line down.

Sumter sits near the middle of the state, where the Sandhills, Pee Dee and Lowcountry meet. Ground can change from sand to wet bottomland within a few miles, so tell us what the drop spot looks like when you order.

How do you plan restrooms for Sumter's Iris Festival weekend?

Sumter's Iris Festival runs on Memorial Day weekend at Swan Lake Iris Gardens. Holiday weekends fill routes early, so book at least 3 business days ahead and sooner if you can. Events on city property need a City of Sumter Special Event Application. Units drop Friday and pick up after the weekend.

Vendors, church groups and families often hold their own gatherings around festival weekend. Here is our sizing method for a 120-guest cookout lasting 6 hours with a cooler of beer: 120 × 6 ÷ 200 = 3.6, rounded to 4. Alcohol adds 20% with a 1-unit minimum, so 5 units, with 1 wheelchair-accessible.

Find the form on the City of Sumter special event application page. Size your own event with the porta potty calculator.

Can you serve home projects near Shaw Air Force Base?

We serve off-base home projects in the Shaw Air Force Base area on our Sumter run. Cherryvale sits right next to Shaw, about 10 miles from downtown Sumter. Remodels, roof jobs and moves of a week or more fit well, because a 7-day rental includes weekly service on the Sumter route day.

• Driveway edge placement keeps the unit off soft lawns.
• A standard unit is 44 inches wide, so most backyard gates are too narrow.
• Mark the spot or text a photo; you do not need to be home.
• Billing runs in 28-day cycles, so 10 days and 28 days cost the same.

Short jobs and home emergencies are covered on our short-term rental page.

Which Sumter ZIP codes and permit office apply?

We deliver to Sumter ZIP codes 29150, 29153 and 29154 in Sumter County. The City of Sumter Building Department sits at 21 North Main Street. Building inspection questions go to (803) 774-1600. Planning and zoning in Sumter is handled jointly by the Sumter City-County Planning Department, so one office covers most addresses.

Read the permit steps on the City of Sumter Building page. If your crew is working under a permit, ask the contractor whether the job site needs a toilet before the first inspection.

Do you rent units for Sumter ballfields and tennis events?

We rent units for Sumter ballfields and tennis events by the weekend or by the 28-day cycle. Riley Park seats about 2,000 for baseball, and Palmetto Park's tennis center has 24 courts. Season-long field rentals get weekly service on the Sumter route day, with extra visits for tournament weekends.

See our seasonal rental options for ball fields.

Where should a unit go on low Sumter ground?

A unit on low Sumter ground should go on the highest, firmest spot within reach of the truck. Swan Lake Iris Gardens was once a swamp, and parts of Sumter sit low and wet after storms. Sumter gets about 48.8 inches of rain a year, so avoid ditches and puddle lines.

1. Choose a level spot on gravel, pavement or packed ground.
2. Leave a 10-foot clear path for the hand truck and pump hose.
3. At a Sumter cookout, keep the unit 10 feet from tents and food tables.
4. Tell us about gates, slopes or steps before delivery day.

When does a Sumter event need a wheelchair-accessible unit?

A Sumter event needs at least 1 wheelchair-accessible unit in each cluster, and 5% of the units in that cluster, under our reading of the 2010 ADA Standards. The Satellite Freedom unit has a 60-inch turning space, grab bars, a ground-level floor and a door opening of 32.7 by 80.8 inches.

The accessible unit is 66 inches wide and 86.5 inches deep, so it needs more room than a standard unit. Give it a level, firm spot with a smooth path from parking or seating. A grass slope or gravel lip can block a wheelchair even when the unit itself is roomy.

Check the 2010 ADA Standards and ask your venue or permit office what they require. Unit details are on our wheelchair-accessible porta potty page.
