If you’ve never rented a porta potty or restroom trailer before, you might wonder: how does the process work? Is it complicated? Do you need permits? Who handles delivery and pickup?
At Light It Up – Rent To Go, we make the process simple. Whether you’re planning a wedding in Orange County, hosting a festival in Sullivan County, or managing a construction project in Rockland, the steps are straightforward. Here’s exactly what happens from start to finish.
Step 1: Request a Quote
- Fill out the online form: Share your event or project details.
- Call our office: Speak directly with our team to get advice.
- Get a clear price: Quotes include delivery, servicing, and pickup.
The first step is as easy as reaching out. Our quote form asks for basics: date, location, number of guests, and type of unit. From there, we tailor a solution. A Warwick bride once told us she felt overwhelmed by planning — but once she requested her quote, she realized booking restrooms was the simplest part of her wedding prep.
Step 2: Choose the Right Units
- Porta Potties: Standard, ADA-compliant, or event-grade.
- Restroom Trailers: 2-station to 11-station luxury options.
- Add-Ons: Handwashing stations, water tanks, or generators.
We’ll guide you through your choices based on your needs. For a Rockland County construction project, a contractor booked three standard porta potties and an ADA unit. For a Sullivan County festival, organizers rented 20 porta potties plus two 7-station trailers to cover 1,000 guests
Step 3: Reserve Your Date
- Deposit Required: Confirms your booking and locks in your units.
- Flexible Changes: Adjust guest counts or unit types if plans shift.
- Best Practice: Book early, especially May–October for weddings and festivals.
Reserving is what puts you on the calendar. Without a deposit, your units aren’t guaranteed. For a June wedding in Newburgh, the couple booked their trailer 9 months ahead to secure the date. They later added two ADA porta potties — and since they reserved early, we had availability.
Step 4: Delivery and Setup
- Scheduled Delivery: We coordinate timing around your event or project.
- Site Placement: We place units exactly where you need them.
- Setup for Trailers: Hookups for water and power, or onboard tanks and generators if no utilities are available.
Delivery is stress-free. For a Manhattan corporate gala, our team delivered a 7-station trailer overnight to avoid traffic. At a Sullivan County wedding, we placed a 2-station trailer behind the reception tent, connected to a generator, and it worked flawlessly all night.
Step 5: Servicing During the Rental
- Porta Potties: Weekly servicing included for all rentals.
- Trailers: Restocking of soap, paper, and supplies.
- Multi-Day Events: Mid-event servicing available upon request.
At a Sullivan County music festival, we serviced 20 porta potties overnight between event days. At a Rockland County job site, crews received weekly cleanings without disruption. Regular servicing keeps everything fresh and functional.
Step 6: Pickup and Removal
- Post-Event Pickup: Scheduled at your convenience.
- Quick and Clean: Our team removes units and leaves no mess behind.
- Flexible Timing: Weddings usually get Monday pickups, construction sites get pickups at the project’s end.
For a Warwick backyard wedding, we delivered Friday, picked up Monday, and the family said the site looked as if the units had never been there. Contractors in Rockland appreciate flexible pickups so projects can continue without delays.
