Mon - Sat 7:00 am to 7:00 pm
At Prime Dumpster, we provide porta potty rentals across Cookeville, Tennessee, and the Upper Cumberland communities around it. Housing and commercial construction near the interstate, university move-in and game days, downtown street events, ball tournaments at the city parks, and trips out to the waterfalls and Center Hill Lake all put portable toilets to work in Putnam County.
What you pay comes down to the units you pick, how many you take, how long you keep them, and how often a driver returns. Below you will find our ranges, the counts we plan around, the City permits that apply on public ground, and what makes delivery quick.
Read every range as a standard three-day rental. Events get written up that way, so a one-day tournament and a Friday to Sunday festival usually land at the same figure.
Stay longer and the structure changes. Job sites in Cookeville typically move to a four-week cycle with a weekly cleaning visit rolled in, which brings the daily cost down over a long build.
Terrain counts for a lot in the Upper Cumberland. A flat commercial pad is quick. A sloping pasture, a gravel drive off a ridge road, or a campsite near a river bluff takes more of the driver's time and care.
The rest is what you add. Accessible units, a sink beside the food line, and extra cleaning stops on a big weekend all show up separately. Ask your account manager to itemize the quote before you sign off.

Request a Quote NowBegin with the number of people and the length of the day. These are the counts behind our quotes:
Tournaments and festivals that run all day chew through capacity far faster than a short evening event. Our porta potty calculator will give you a starting figure, and your account manager can adjust it once they know your schedule.
Let the crowd decide the unit. All the models sit side by side on our porta potty options page.
The Standard Porta Potty does the bulk of the work at job sites and casual gatherings. Toilet, urinal, paper holder, hand sanitizer.
The ADA-Compliant Porta Potty is the wide unit with a level entry, grab bars, and turning room for a wheelchair. Any public event should include one.
The Deluxe Flushing Porta Potty adds a flush and stronger odor control, and guests at a wedding or a banquet notice the upgrade.
The Deluxe Porta Potty with Sink has a sink, soap, and mirror built in, which families and food vendors both like.
The Solar Porta Potty lights and vents itself with solar power, a solid answer for a farm, a trailhead, or a remote build.
The Handwashing Station is a stand-alone sink with fresh water, soap, and towels. Put one at each food booth.
The Restroom Trailer offers private stalls, running water, and heating or cooling for weddings, corporate days, and long-running sites.
Your account manager can settle the mix once they hear about your guests or your crew.
Keep the unit on your own property, whether that is a yard, a farm, or a fenced job site, and no City permit is needed. Public ground changes that.
Streets and rights-of-way: Cookeville requires a permit before anyone excavates in or under a street, alley, right-of-way, or public property. If your project touches the public way at all, talk to the City before the truck arrives.
Parades and street closures: For an event that will obstruct a public street or right-of-way, the City issues a parade or street closure permit. Your application, with a map of the route or location, goes to the Police Department at 1019 Neal Street, then to the City Manager, then to the Tax Department for final processing.
What it takes: Before that permit is issued, you provide a certificate of insurance, a $100 application fee, and a $250 refundable deposit covering removal of refuse, litter, materials, and equipment. The deposit comes back about two weeks after the event, once the Police Department confirms the site was cleared. Planning where your units and trash cans go makes that step painless.
State highways: For anything placed in a state right-of-way, the Tennessee Department of Transportation issues the permit through the office that covers Putnam County, and it does not replace City approval.
Food vendors: The City Clerk's Office issues mobile food vendor permits, and the state health department handles temporary food permits in Putnam County. Every booth needs handwashing on hand.
City offices sit at 45 East Broad Street and answer at 931-526-9591 on weekdays. If you are unsure which permit fits your spot, your account manager can help.
Level, firm ground is the first rule. The plateau has plenty of rock just under the surface and plenty of soft clay beside it, so a spot that looks even can still tip a unit. Leave the truck a straight approach and watch for low limbs on a country lane.
Set units at least 15 feet from food service, and keep them away from creeks, sinkholes, springs, and storm inlets. On a job site, place them within about 200 feet of the crew so breaks stay short.
One cleaning visit a week is standard. The driver pumps the tank, washes and sanitizes the interior, and restocks paper and sanitizer. Tournaments, festivals, and summer heat are the usual reasons to add a second stop.
Tennessee requires a state permit for anyone who removes and disposes of waste from portable toilets, and the state keeps the list of permitted pumpers online. Locally, the City's Department of Water Quality Control runs the wastewater treatment plant and serves about 17,000 sewer customers, and the City's published charges include a holding tank discharger permit and a discharge charge for septic haulers. Your account manager can confirm your service days.

Most Cookeville orders arrive within 24 to 48 hours. Give us three to five days and we can stage exactly what you want. Fall festival weekends, university events, and spring tournaments are the busy runs, so reserve those as soon as the date is set.
Five things that keep a delivery on track:
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster delivers porta potties throughout Cookeville and the Upper Cumberland towns nearby, including Algood, Baxter, Monterey, Sparta, Livingston, Smithville, Gainesboro, and the recreation areas out toward Center Hill Lake. Whether your site is off the interstate, on a farm along a ridge road, or in a downtown block, we schedule delivery, cleaning, and pickup around your dates.
A standard unit averages $199–$349 and an accessible unit averages $200–$300. Deluxe models run $300–$400, handwashing stations $150–$250, and restroom trailers start at $1,500. Unit count, rental length, delivery distance, and cleaning frequency all move the total. Your account manager pins it down during your free quote.
Use 1 unit per 50 guests over about four hours, then add 15 to 20 percent when alcohol is served. A 200-guest reception comes to four or five units. All-day tournaments, hot weather, and food vendors push that higher, and any public event should include an accessible unit.
Tennessee applies the federal construction rule. Crews of 20 or fewer need at least 1 toilet, and bigger crews come to 1 toilet and 1 urinal for every 40 workers. Keep units near the work face and plan weekly cleaning. Your account manager can resize the order when the crew grows or shrinks.
Weekly is standard. Every visit covers pumping the tank, washing and sanitizing the interior, restocking paper and sanitizer, and checking the door and vent. Large crews, busy events, and summer heat are all reasons to move to two or three visits. Your account manager can build that into the plan.
No. A unit on your own yard, farm, or fenced job site in Cookeville needs no City permission. You will need a permit once the unit sits in a street, an alley, or another public right-of-way, and an event that blocks a street needs its own permit. Your account manager can help you check.
A standard unit is a narrow stall holding a toilet, a urinal, and sanitizer. An accessible unit is wider, sits level with the ground, and adds grab bars and turning space for a wheelchair. Public events should include at least one in each group of units. Units used only by a construction crew are exempt.
Weekend rentals are written as three-day rentals, so a Saturday event and a full weekend generally cost the same. Standard units average $199–$349, deluxe flushing units average $300–$400, and handwashing stations run $150–$250. Your account manager will confirm delivery and pickup times when you book.
Tell us about your event or project and your zip code. We will pick the units, plan the cleaning, and give you a firm number while you are on the phone.
