What should Gainesville renters know before booking?

Gainesville is a direct run on SR 20 from Palatka through Hawthorne. Fall home-game Saturdays fill tailgate and event calendars. Book units at least a week ahead. Student housing turnovers in late July and August bring cleaning and remodel crews that need short rentals.

• Events on city property may need a permit, and the permit office can set a restroom count.
• Common Alachua County jobs: tailgates, student housing turnovers, farm events and subdivision building.

What do Gainesville renters usually need?

Gainesville renters juggle football Saturdays, downtown festivals and student housing turnover. City events at Bo Diddley Plaza, such as the November art show, draw big crowds, and permits from the Special Event Coordinator take three to four weeks. We deliver standard and accessible units, hand wash stations and restroom trailers along SR 20 from Palatka.

A typical Gainesville event order

A 450-person, 5-hour event in Gainesville needs 4 restrooms under Florida's event table (the 500-person row), plus 1 for a beer tent: 5 in total. At least 1 of them must be wheelchair-accessible, and food vendors need a hand wash station. Daily service applies to multi-day events.

Also common: a Gainesville job-site order

A 16-person crew on a Gainesville build site, for example near Haile Plantation, needs 2 porta potties with weekly service under Florida's 1-per-10-workers table. Switching to twice-weekly service cuts that to 1. Add a hand wash station for crews handling paint, coatings or sealants.

Which porta potty do Gainesville renters usually pick?

Gainesville renters most often pick standard units, one accessible unit and a hand wash station. Choose among the five unit types by the job, the ground and whether guests expect a sink. Add a wheelchair-accessible unit for public events and a hand wash station whenever food is served.

For Gainesville we usually suggest event units, a wheelchair-accessible unit for each cluster, and a hand wash station by the food. Compare every option on the porta potty types page.

Do I need a permit for a porta potty in Gainesville?

A permit is rarely needed when the unit stays on private land in Gainesville. A unit on a public street can require city or Alachua County approval. Restrooms for a public event also need a service contract filed with the state a working day ahead.

Confirm with Alachua County or Florida Department of Health in Alachua County before your date. We supply the service contract.
