We deliver to all of Wilkes-Barre (Luzerne County, population 44,328 in 2020, about 44,661 today) is 65.6 miles and about 85 minutes from our yard in Bethlehem, which places it in our long-haul zone (60–100 miles). Delivery and pickup are $245 round trip per order. Delivery by appointment, usually within three business days. We take 28-day rentals, events of four or more units and restroom trailers.
Wilkes-Barre is a long-haul appointment, 66 miles north by the Turnpike Northeast Extension and I-81. The Public Square hotel conversion (110 rooms, 2025–26), the South Main Street apartment work and the Fine Arts Fiesta in May, Cherry Blossom Festival at Kirby Park in late April and July 4 on the River Common are what we plan around.
Neighborhoods, sections and subdivisions our truck reaches:
Official sections from the municipality or Wikipedia; subdivision names from real-estate listings, so a few sit just outside the city line.

Private driveways, yards, lots and jobsites in Wilkes-Barre need no permit for a portable toilet. A unit on a public street or sidewalk needs the right-of-way permit listed below, and events on public property need the special-event approval shown. Jobsite building permits come from the office in the third row. This is the published rule, not legal advice; confirm with the office before you book.
| Need | Office | What the rule says |
|---|---|---|
| Street / sidewalk (right-of-way) placement | No dumpster/street-obstruction permit page found on wilkes-barre.city. Street Department page (https://www.wilkes-barre.city/285/Street-Department) lists DPW 570-208-4240 but no permits. Building Code Enforcement (1st Floor City Hall, 570-208-1629) does not mention dumpster permits. | |
| Special event permit | City of Wilkes-Barre Office of Special Events, 3rd Floor City Hall, 40 East Market St; Mike Slusser, Special Events Coordinator, 570-208-4149 | Page: 'The event holder is responsible for removing all recyclables and cardboard generated by the event.' No alcohol in city parks. No portable toilet language. |

The Wilkes-Barre events that rent portable restrooms most are listed below with their months. For public events we size at attendees ÷ 100 × hours ÷ 4, multiply by 1.25 for alcohol or heat, round up, make 5% of the units accessible, and add one hand wash station per 10 units, then service each morning on multi-day events.
| Event or venue | When | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Fine Arts Fiesta | May (May 14-17, 2026), Public Square, downtown; 70th year in 2026 | — |

Construction in Wilkes-Barre right now runs from downtown apartment conversions to larger site work, and every crew over 20 workers needs one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 under OSHA 1926.51(c). Our 28-day construction rate for Wilkes-Barre is $185 per standard unit plus $65 delivery and the $245 round trip route fee, with weekly service on the by appointment route.
Weather in Wilkes-Barre changes placement and service, not the unit. Average annual snowfall 45.1 in (vs 33.1 in Allentown). Susquehanna River reached a record 42.6 ft at Wilkes-Barre during Tropical Storm Lee, Sept 2011; the levee system held. Hardiness zone 6b (7a near river). We plan the spot and the service schedule around those numbers before delivery, so the unit stays usable.
For Wilkes-Barre that means antifreeze on every winter visit, service every other week in deep-snow stretches, a plowed path within 25 feet of the unit, and no flush units from December through February. Soft or sloped ground is the one condition that stops a restroom trailer in any season; standard units go on a plywood pad instead.

Restroom trailer specs and priceThe City's Office of Special Events on the 3rd floor of City Hall at 40 East Market St (570-208-4149). The page says the event holder is responsible for removing recyclables and cardboard and that alcohol is not allowed in city parks; it does not state a toilet ratio, so we size by the PSAI method and name the units on your application.
Not below the levee line. The Susquehanna hit a record 42.6 feet at Wilkes-Barre during Tropical Storm Lee in September 2011; the levees held, but anything on the river side of them was underwater. We set riverfront event units on the city side of the levee and move them if a flood watch is posted.

Wilkes-Barre is about 65.6 miles and 85 minutes from our yard at 312 Brodhead Ave, Bethlehem, PA 18015, which puts it in our long-haul zone (60–100 miles): delivery and pickup $245 round trip per order.
