Do I need a permit for a porta potty at my house?
You do not need a permit for a porta potty on your own driveway or yard in Milwaukee. A permit is needed only if the unit sits in the street, sidewalk or grass terrace: Milwaukee requires a public-way permit and bans open-street placement Dec. 1–Mar. 1, and Wauwatosa charges $75 for up to 7 days.
| City | Driveway / yard | Street or terrace |
|---|---|---|
| Milwaukee | No permit | Public-way occupancy permit; not allowed on open streets/alleys Dec. 1–Mar. 1 |
| Wauwatosa | No permit | $75 Storage in the ROW permit, up to 7 days |
| Shorewood | No permit | Obstruct the Public Way application, $75–$100 |
| South Milwaukee | No permit | $50 Street Obstruction Permit + flashing barricades |
| Other suburbs | No permit | Call city engineering first |

Where should the unit go at a house?
The best spot for a home porta potty is the side of the driveway nearest the work, on flat pavement, with the door facing the house or yard instead of the street. A home porta potty also fits behind a garage or in a side yard if the path is at least 48 inches wide and firm.
- Leave the car room to back out.
- Keep it 3 feet from the house so the door swings freely.
- Not on a septic tank lid, drain field or soft mulch.
- Alley garages: beside the garage on your side of the lot line.
- Text dispatch a photo with an X on the spot — drivers love that.
From the U.S. call study: Homeowners asked "Do I need to be there for the delivery?" more than any other placement question. You don't. Mark the spot, unlock the gate, and the driver sends a photo when it is placed.
How long do home remodels keep a porta potty?
Most Milwaukee bathroom remodels keep a porta potty 2 to 6 weeks, kitchen remodels 4 to 10 weeks, and full-gut renovations 3 to 6 months. Projects up to 7 days pay the event rate; longer projects bill every 28 days with weekly service, and billing stops the day you call.
| Project | Typical length | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Septic or sewer repair | 2–7 days | Event rate, no service needed |
| Bathroom remodel | 2–6 weeks | 28-day rate, weekly service |
| Kitchen remodel | 4–10 weeks | 28-day rate, weekly service |
| Retaining wall / landscaping | 1–4 weeks | Event rate or 28-day |
| Full-gut renovation or addition | 3–6 months | 28-day rate, weekly service |

Home projects: questions callers ask
I am having construction on my kitchen and they say we need a porta potty. How does it work?
We drop a standard unit on your driveway, service it every week, and pick it up when you call. Your contractor's crew and your family can both use it.
Is there a price difference between construction and residential?
No. Homes and jobsites pay the same rates. What changes the price is the length: up to 7 days is the event rate, longer is the 28-day rate with service.
I don't know how long the sheetrock will take. Is that OK?
Yes. Start a 28-day rental and call when it is done. If you finish early, the last cycle is charged by the week.
Can it go behind the garage, or does it need to be in the driveway?
Behind the garage works if the path is at least 48 inches wide and firm. Otherwise, the driveway.
Our septic collapsed. Can we get one today?
Yes, when you call by noon Monday–Saturday. A septic emergency is exactly what same-day delivery is for.
Should I move my car out of the driveway for pickup?
Only if the car blocks the path to the unit. The driver needs a clear 4-foot path from the truck.
