How far does New Bedford Porta Pros deliver?
We cover all of Dartmouth and the surrounding towns. The drive from our New Bedford base to central Dartmouth takes roughly 24 minutes, which adds to your delivery cost compared to jobs closer to New Bedford itself. Most of Dartmouth falls within our service areas, and we've hauled equipment out there for construction crews, landscaping crews, schools and municipal parks for years. If your address is on the edge of town or in an unusual spot, call and confirm. We handle standard porta potty rental out there, deluxe flushable units and ADA accessible toilets in the same daily, weekly and monthly cycles we use in New Bedford.
The nearest towns to Dartmouth are Acushnet Center, 3.3 miles northeast; Fairhaven, 4.9 miles southeast; and New Bedford itself, 10.7 miles north. We serve all of them from the same dispatch center.
What does it cost to rent a porta potty in Dartmouth?
Standard units start at the day rate, which runs the lowest cost if you need one unit for a single shift or event. Weekly rental saves you money if you're on site for multiple days. Monthly rental works for long jobs like home renovation, septic repair or construction projects. Delivery fees sit higher for Dartmouth than for New Bedford because of the 10.7 mile distance, but we quote the full cost upfront so there are no surprises. Add an ADA accessible unit if your site needs it: the ADA Standards require accessible toilets on certain jobs, and we stock enough of them to cover the demand in Dartmouth and the surrounding area.
Service calls to pump, clean and resupply the unit are included in weekly and monthly rentals. If you rent by the day, service is available but quoted separately. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and most sites in Dartmouth need one unit per 20 workers or fewer, per OSHA 1926.51(c)(1). Larger crews need more toilets. If you're unsure, describe your job and we'll recommend the count.
Do I need a permit to place a porta potty in Dartmouth?
You'll want to confirm whether Dartmouth requires a permit for placement in the public right of way. Municipal rules vary, and we don't quote a permit rule unless we've verified it with the city. Call New Bedford Porta Pros before you dig, and we can walk you through what Dartmouth's inspector may require. Most residential jobs, a driveway renovation, a deck build, don't need one because you're placing it on private property. Jobs on town roads, parking lots or public areas may. We've done home renovation porta potty placements in Dartmouth for years and know what questions to ask.
Dartmouth has several municipal parks, a landfill, and a busy commercial corridor along Route 6. If you're renting for an event, a construction project or agricultural work, tell us the address and we'll flag any permit issues before we schedule delivery.
Why should I rent from New Bedford Porta Pros?
We're based 10.7 miles north of Dartmouth in New Bedford and we know the roads, the local inspectors and the best staging spots in town. Our equipment is clean, reliable and serviced weekly per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 standards for portable sanitation. We stock restroom trailers if your job needs a step up from a standard unit, handwashing stations if OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) requires potable water on site, and portable sinks with soap and towels that meet 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2). We also rent roll-off dumpsters, storage containers and temporary fencing for construction crews.
Dartmouth crews call us because we answer the phone and deliver the same day if you call early. We don't oversell. If we say we'll be there at 8 a.m., we show up at 8 a.m.
Frequently asked questions
How many porta potties do I need for my Dartmouth event?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer. From 20 to 200 workers, you need one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers. Above 200, it's one per 50 workers. For a wedding, festival or gathering, assume one unit per 50 to 75 guests. Call us with your headcount and we'll size the order.
Can I place a porta potty on a sidewalk in Dartmouth?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. We recommend you call Dartmouth's permitting office or ask your contractor before we deliver. Private property, driveways, parking lots you control, yards, is simpler. Let us know the address and we'll confirm clearance with you.
How often does New Bedford Porta Pros service units in Dartmouth?
Weekly service is standard for sites with 10 or fewer users over a 40-hour week, per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. Busier sites get serviced more often. Monthly rentals include one visit per week. Daily rentals do not include service unless you add it.
What if I need a toilet for just one day in Dartmouth?
Day rentals are available. Delivery costs are higher for Dartmouth than New Bedford because of the 10.7 mile distance, but we run Dartmouth regularly. Quote the full cost upfront and add service if you need it.

Yes. We pump residential and commercial septic tanks. A typical residential tank is pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on tank size and household size. Call for a quote on your address and we'll schedule the service.
