Westside
Edgewood Porta Potty Rental
Edgewood sits inside our regular service area, and it has its own quirks like everywhere else on the First Coast. Knowing them before the truck is loaded is what keeps a delivery from turning into two.
Edgewood is a City of Jacksonville neighbourhood on the Westside centred on Edgewood Avenue, among Murray Hill, Lackawanna and Commonwealth.
Who actually issues the permit
City of Jacksonville, right-of-way through Public Works Development Services. Edgewood, Florida is also a small incorporated city in Orange County in the Orlando metro, about 140 miles away, and an unqualified search lands there. Locally the name covers both the residential blocks and the Edgewood Avenue commercial corridor, which runs on into Murray Hill.
What the ground does to a truck
These streets were laid out for streetcars and Model A's — narrow pavement, short driveways or none at all, no alleys behind most lots, and utility and cable lines strung low over the roadway. A large truck often cannot swing into a lot at all, so the unit gets walked in or set at the curb.
The work that happens here
Bungalow renovation and flip work, small commercial and restaurant buildouts along the Edgewood Avenue corridor, and Westside industrial and warehouse jobs close by.

How it works from the call
Booking units for Edgewood
Call, describe the job, get a flat number. If the number works, we book a delivery slot. Most standard drops go next day; a morning call often makes the same day.
The booking happens on the phone in about two minutes. The delivery happens on the day agreed. The servicing happens weekly without a reminder. That is the whole process.
Delivery, the scheduled servicing and the collection are all in the one quoted number. There is no separate pickup charge waiting at the end.
Servicing is weekly as standard - pump-out, deodoriser, paper, and a wipe of the touch surfaces. Heavy use or a hot stretch moves it to twice weekly, which is worth the money.
What is actually there
Streetcar-era and early-auto-era Jacksonville — small bungalows and cottages of typically 800 to 900 square feet built between roughly 1924 and 1955, on a tight grid of narrow lots, with an ageing commercial strip along Edgewood Avenue.
What each unit needs

| Deluxe | Same footprint as a standard, nothing to plug in |

Before you call
Edgewood - the questions we get
City of Jacksonville, right-of-way through Public Works Development Services. Edgewood, Florida is also a small incorporated city in Orange County in the Orlando metro, about 140 miles away, and an unqualified search lands there. Locally the name covers both the residential blocks and the Edgewood Avenue commercial corridor, which runs on into Murray Hill. Getting that wrong is the single most common way a placement loses a day around here.
These streets were laid out for streetcars and Model A's — narrow pavement, short driveways or none at all, no alleys behind most lots, and utility and cable lines strung low over the roadway. A large truck often cannot swing into a lot at all, so the unit gets walked in or set at the curb.
Bungalow renovation and flip work, small commercial and restaurant buildouts along the Edgewood Avenue corridor, and Westside industrial and warehouse jobs close by. Whichever of those yours is, the count comes off the headcount and the run time, and the placement comes off the ground.
Yes, if the grass is firm and roughly level. The unit spreads its own weight across a skid base. The risk is the truck rather than the unit - a loaded service truck on soft ground is how a lawn or a swale gets torn up.
Yes. The peak-hour headcount sizes the unit count; the number of days changes the servicing. A three-day run with the same gate needs the same units and a good deal more service.
Standards, deluxes, ADA units and hand-wash stations carry their own tanks and need nothing from the site. Only the restroom trailer needs a power supply or a generator, and that is worth settling before the day rather than on it.
