Portable Toilet Rental in Upper Darby, PA

Where does a unit go when the block is all rowhouses?

A rowhouse has a front door on the pavement and, if you are lucky, a narrow rear yard. There is often no driveway and no side yard, so a renovation crew looking for a place to put a unit has three real options: a rear yard reached through the house or an alley, a space beside the pavement, or a nearby lot.

Each one has a gatekeeper. The pavement and street belong to the township, and standing a unit on them calls for permission from whoever the township says it is. A driveway or yard belongs to a person, and that person has to agree. Before delivery, confirm the owner's permission and make sure the space is clear, because the provider will not unload onto a blocked spot. For the longer version, see rowhouse renovation toilets.

How do the single-family streets differ from the rowhouse ones?

The tree-lined single-family streets, with their turn-of-the-century houses, usually offer more ground, a driveway or a side yard, so a unit can stand off the road and out of the neighbors' sight line. The mid-century developments sit somewhere between those two. The details are for the owner to judge on site, since we have no sourced lot sizes for the township.

For a party or a block gathering, the same logic applies in reverse: more ground means fewer placement problems, but a gathering of any size still needs a path for the service vehicle and a unit that stays level.

What about events near 69th Street?

The Tower Theater is a music venue, and the business district around it is the natural setting for a public gathering. A street or lot event in the district is a township approval, not a Philadelphia one, so ask the township what the event requires. Provide the provider with the hours, expected attendance and the approved positions for the units, and add an accessible unit to any public count.

What do summer blocks and winter snow do to a rowhouse placement?

A block party in July is a heat event. Philadelphia, the closest sourced reading, averages 86 F in July and reached 100 F in June 2025, and a unit on a hot pavement in the sun is unpleasant for everyone. Ask the provider about service during hot spells and put units on the shaded side of the street if one exists.

Winter brings parked cars and snow. A street already tight for a service truck can become impassable after snow, and January 25, 2026 brought up to 9.5 inches to the area. If your renovation runs through winter, ask for a winter additive and keep the access route clear. Servicing stays with the provider. Our winter guide covers it.
