Why we started
In 2012, the founder was managing a commercial construction project in Greensboro and spent two days chasing down a portable toilet company that wouldn't return calls or explain their pricing. He rented a unit himself, cleaned it weekly, and realized most operators in the market weren't actually solving the problem, they were just collecting rent. Greensboro Porta Pros launched to do the opposite: make the rental simple, transparent and reliable.
We've built our business around one rule. You call, you get a real person. You ask a price, you get a price, not a range, not a question about other details, just what you'll actually pay. Read our porta potty rental cost guide to understand how we price standard units and why restroom trailers cost more.
How we serve Greensboro
We cover Greensboro and surrounding towns including Kernersville (18.2 miles west), Summerfield (9.3 miles northwest), McLeansville (11.1 miles east), Jamestown (11.5 miles southwest), and High Point (13.7 miles southwest). Our warehouse sits on a 4-acre lot in central Greensboro, which means most deliveries happen the same day you call.
Standard portable toilet rental is our core work. A typical unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and stands about 92 inches tall. We service every unit according to ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, which sets a baseline interval of one service visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. For construction sites, OSHA 1926.51(c) requires 1 toilet facility for every 20 workers or fewer, and 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up to 200. We help you size the job correctly so you don't rent too many units or too few.
We also rent deluxe flushable porta potties, ADA accessible units, and restroom trailers when the event or project calls for it. Roll-off dumpsters handle demolition, renovation and debris removal on sites where a portable toilet alone isn't enough. Storage containers give you secure space for tools, materials or equipment between job phases. Septic pumping rounds out the list, residential tanks are typically pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on tank size and household size, and we handle emergency calls when a system backs up.
What sets us apart
Four things matter most to customers renting from Greensboro Porta Pros. First, we answer the phone. Our dispatch opens at 6 a.m. and closes at 5 p.m., and if you call after hours, the voicemail tells you exactly who will return your call and when. Second, we quote honestly. No surprise fees, no hidden charges, no pressure to add services you don't need. Third, we deliver on time. A standard unit takes about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and we'll walk your site before delivery to make sure placement works. Fourth, we keep equipment clean. Mold, smell and leaks drive customers crazy, and they shouldn't happen. We maintain every unit before and after every rental.
Most jobs we see fall into four categories. Construction sites with crews that need toilets, handwashing and dumpster space for 3 months or more. Events like weddings, festivals and concerts where you rent for a single day and never think about it again. Home renovations where a contractor needs a clean, compact unit on a residential lot. And agricultural sites where field workers need portable sinks alongside toilets because OSHA requires washing stations where employees are engaged in applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long has Greensboro Porta Pros been in business?
Since 2012. We've grown from one owner with a single unit to a staff of 8, 80 units in our fleet, and 480 deliveries a year across Greensboro and surrounding towns. Most of our customers find us by word of mouth because they rented once and recommended us to a colleague.
Do you serve areas outside Greensboro?
Yes. We deliver to Kernersville, Summerfield, McLeansville, Jamestown, Oak Ridge, High Point and Forest Oaks. Delivery distance affects your cost, and we'll give you that number before you commit.
Can I rent on a weekend?
Yes. Weekends cost more than weekdays because our team works around the clock to deliver and service units when construction crews and events run. Call with your dates and we'll quote the weekend rate.
What if I have an emergency, a system backs up or a unit arrives damaged?
We answer until 5 p.m. weekdays. For after-hours emergencies, call and leave a detailed message with your address and the problem. Our emergency contact will reach you within an hour.
Do I need a permit to place a portable toilet on my property?
Permit rules vary by location within Greensboro and by unit type. We'll tell you what you need to confirm with the city, and we recommend you do that before rental begins.
