Porta potty rental in Piqua: delivery days and lead time
A porta potty rental in Piqua usually arrives the next business day, between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Piqua is about 27 miles north of Dayton on I-75, which puts it in our Zone 2. Same-day delivery is available when you call by noon and a truck can make the trip.
The dispatcher tells you on the call whether same-day works. If it does, a flat $50 rush fee shows as its own line. About 30 minutes out, the driver heading to Piqua sends a text or calls.
For a Saturday event, we deliver Friday and pick up Monday at no extra charge. There are no Sunday runs. In May through October, book 1 to 2 weeks ahead so a Friday slot is open.
Nobody needs to be home. A cone, flag or chalk mark tells the Piqua driver exactly where the unit goes; a texted photo works too.

Do you need a permit for a porta potty in Piqua?
Piqua's Engineering Division requires a Right-of-Way permit to place items in the public right-of-way. A separate Closing permit covers closing a sidewalk, parking spaces, a lane, an alley or a full street. A unit on your own driveway or lawn normally needs no permit.
Both permits are on the city's Permits and Applications page, with online filing. Piqua's Special Events permit must be submitted 60 days before the event, so plan festivals and street events early. City offices answer at 937-778-8300.
Park events go through the city's parks office. Church and school grounds are private property, so the owner decides where units go.
Use this as a starting point for Piqua; the permitting office makes the final call. Our porta potty permit guide covers the usual questions.
