Which Kent State weeks book up first?
Quick answerKent State commencement weekends in May and December, fall move-in in late August, and home football Saturdays are the busiest Kent dates for us. Book at least 7 days ahead for those weeks. Flushing units and restroom trailers go first, so reserve them 2–4 weeks out if you can.
Graduation parties are the big one. Families rent a house, a hall or a backyard near campus and invite 50 to 150 people. Here's a quick count for a 4-hour party:
| Guests (4 hours) | No alcohol | With alcohol |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 50 | 1 unit | 2 units |
| 100 | 2 units | 3 units |
| 150 | 3 units | 5 units |
Add 1 hand-wash station for every 2–3 toilets when food is served. Our sizing guide covers longer parties and mostly-women crowds.
Kent State campus grounds, parking lots and Dix Stadium lots belong to the university. A unit on university property needs the university's approval, and we place it only where they say.
Can you deliver to a student rental house near campus?
Delivery to a Kent rental house is fine as long as the landlord agrees to the spot. The unit needs level, firm ground, and our truck must park within about 25 feet on a hard surface. Gates must be 48 inches wide, since a standard unit is about 44 inches wide.
Streets off Summit Street, Lincoln Street and around the Esplanade are tight, with cars parked on both sides on busy weekends. A driveway or a back parking pad works best. Tell us if the spot is behind a house so the driver can plan the walk.
Street placement and the City of Kent
A unit on a Kent street or sidewalk needs right-of-way approval from the City of Kent, and the customer gets it. The city's service and engineering offices handle street use; start at kentohio.org. Give them the size: about 44 by 47 inches, 90 inches tall.
Every unit has a lock hasp. Bring your own padlock if the unit will sit overnight near a busy sidewalk.
How fast can a porta potty get to Kent?
Quick answerSame-day delivery to Kent is available when you order and confirm by 12:00 noon, Monday through Saturday, with a $75 same-day fee. Delivery and pickup are included for every Kent address, with no travel fee. After noon, delivery is next business day.
You'll get a 4-hour window and a call or text about 30 minutes before arrival. You don't need to be home if the spot is marked with a cone, flag or chalk X. On move-in weekend, traffic near campus can slow the truck, so mark the spot clearly and keep the driveway open.

Porta johns for Kent remodels, roof jobs and summer turnovers
Quick answerA jobsite porta john in Kent starts at $145 per 28-day cycle, with weekly service included. That visit covers pumping, scrubbing and disinfecting, deodorizer, paper and sanitizer. Landlords often book one cycle for summer work between leases, then text us 2 business days before they want pickup.
Kent has a lot of older frame houses near campus and downtown. Summer is when landlords re-roof, gut kitchens and redo baths while students are gone. One standard unit covers a crew of up to 10 on 40-hour weeks.
The federal rule is OSHA 1926.51. The 28-day cycle auto-renews, and there's no long-term contract. Details are on our construction porta potty page.
Downtown Kent events, the Heritage Festival and river-valley parks
Quick answerDowntown Kent events like the Kent Heritage Festival in July bring crowds onto Main Street and Water Street, where bathrooms run short. Organizers usually need 1 standard unit per 50 guests for 4 hours, and more for longer days. Street placement needs the City of Kent's approval through the event permit.
Parks along the Cuyahoga River sit low, and the ground there stays soft after rain. Pick a spot on pavement or gravel near the parking area, not on grass at the water's edge. Hills down into the river valley can also be icy in winter, so keep the truck path cleared and salted.
From November through March, we add brine to the tank so it won't freeze.

Kent, OH: common questions
Do I need to book early for a Kent State graduation party?
Booking 7 or more days ahead is the safe plan for Kent State commencement weekends in May and December. Flushing units and restroom trailers should be reserved 2–4 weeks out. For a Saturday party we drop Friday and pick up Monday, and the extra days are free.
Can a porta potty go at my Kent rental if I'm only the tenant?
A tenant can rent a unit, but the landlord should agree to the spot first. Many Kent leases limit what can go on the lot. Once the spot is approved, mark it with a cone or text us a photo, and nobody needs to be home.
Is there a delivery charge for a Kent address?
Delivery and pickup to Kent are included in the price. Portage County addresses pay no travel fee and no fuel surcharge. The quote shows the unit, the days or 28-day cycle, any same-day fee and Portage County sales tax.
Can you set a unit on a Kent State parking lot for a tailgate?
A unit on Kent State property needs the university's approval first, because the lots and grounds are run by the university. We place units only where placement is allowed. Private lots and yards near campus just need permission from whoever owns them.
How many units for a Kent Heritage Festival booth or block party?
Plan 1 standard unit per 50 guests for a 4-hour event, and add 1 unit per 100 guests for every 2 extra hours. Add 1 per 100 if alcohol is served. Street placement downtown needs approval from the City of Kent through the event permit.
