We deliver to all of Allentown (Lehigh County, population 125,845 in 2020, about 126,044 today) is 10 miles and about 16 minutes from our yard in Bethlehem, which places it in our core Lehigh Valley zone. Delivery and pickup are included. Same-day delivery when you call before noon, Monday–Saturday; otherwise next business day.
Allentown is our Wednesday route and the city we deliver to most after Bethlehem. The Waterfront's River House build on the Lehigh, the rowhome rehabs in the Wards and Old Allentown, and the fairgrounds schedule in late August keep standard and deluxe units moving across the city all year.
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 Allentown 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 | City of Allentown Department of Public Works (641 S. 10th St, Bridgeworks; 610-437-7576) | Code Ch. 545 (Streets and Sidewalks), Art. VII requires a permit from Public Works for any opening/disturbance of a City street or alley (§545-54). The city's Public Right-of-Way office handles right-of-way matters and cites Ch. 545. confirm with Public Works before placing units on a street or sidewalk. |
| Special event permit | City of Allentown Bureau of Special Events (Parks & Recreation), Parks Office, 3000 Parkway Blvd; processes about 200 event applications/yr under Code Ch. 532 (Special Events) and §270-62 (fees) | Page does not state restroom requirements;. |
| Building / zoning permits (jobsites) | Bureau of Building Standards and Safety (BSS), City Hall, 435 Hamilton St, 3rd & 4th floors; online via Citizen Self Service Portal | — |
The Allentown 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 |

| The Great Allentown Fair | Late August to early September | Allentown Fairgrounds, 302 N. 17th St |

Construction in Allentown 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 Allentown is $185 per standard unit plus $65 delivery, with weekly service on the Wednesday route.
Weather in Allentown changes placement and service, not the unit. Shares the Lehigh Valley humid continental climate: hot humid summers, cold winters, about 33.1 in average snowfall at LVIA. Jordan Creek and Little Lehigh Creek join in the city and drain to the Lehigh River; a 1841 Lehigh River flood destroyed the Hamilton Street Bridge. Record high 105°F, record low -15°F. We plan the spot and the service schedule around those numbers before delivery, so the unit stays usable.
For Allentown that means riverfront event units go on the upland side of the lot and move when a flood watch is posted, and a restroom trailer never sits below the flood line. Soft or sloped ground is the one condition that stops a restroom trailer in any season; standard units go on a plywood pad instead.

Only with Public Works approval. Allentown's Chapter 545 governs streets and sidewalks and the Public Works right-of-way office (641 S. 10th St, 610-437-7576) handles placement questions; we could not find a published container-permit form, so call them before you ask us to set a unit at the curb. Rear alleys and yards in the Wards need no permit and are where most units go.

Allentown is about 10 miles and 16 minutes from our yard at 312 Brodhead Ave, Bethlehem, PA 18015, which puts it in our core Lehigh Valley zone: delivery and pickup included.
Same-day delivery when you call before noon, Monday–Saturday; otherwise next business day. The route day for Allentown is Wednesday. Call (610) 228-7864 with your ZIP and dates and we confirm the delivery date on the call; the driver phones 30 minutes before arrival.
