How fast can you deliver a porta potty to McAllen?
A porta potty can reach most McAllen addresses in about 15 to 20 minutes from our yard at 2302 S Tourist Dr in Edinburg. Call (956) 396-3318 by 12:00 PM, Monday through Saturday, for same-day delivery to McAllen ZIPs 78501 through 78504. Orders placed after noon usually arrive the next morning.
East McAllen, near 10th Street and the Pharr line, is the short end of that range. West McAllen past Ware Road takes closer to 20 minutes on Expressway 83. The driver calls about 30 minutes before arrival either way.

Which McAllen neighborhoods do you serve?
Brian Rental Works delivers to every McAllen neighborhood, from Downtown and the 17th Street district to the 2,571-acre Tres Lagos community in north McAllen. Tres Lagos was planned for about 5,000 single-family homes, 1,000 townhomes and 2,000 apartments, so many of our McAllen construction calls come from its building phases.

Do I need a permit for porta potties at a McAllen event?
A McAllen special event permit is needed for parades, street closures, races and mass gatherings on city streets or public places. The City Secretary’s form lists a $20 permit fee and a $25 expedited fee when you file less than 5 days out. The form does not ask about restroom counts.
Download the City of McAllen special event permit form. The form also notes that the city does not provide traffic control or police officers for events. A party on private property usually needs no event permit, but confirm with your permit office or venue.
Which unit fits McAllen-specific jobs?
McAllen issued about 1,300 residential and 810 commercial building permits in 2025, so job site toilets are our most common McAllen order. Builders need 1 standard unit per crew of up to 10 workers with weekly service. Downtown and Convention Center District events lean toward deluxe flushing units and handwashing stations.
| McAllen job | Unit we usually send | Book ahead |
|---|---|---|
| Tres Lagos or north McAllen home build | 1 standard unit, weekly service, 28-day billing | Same day possible |
| Commercial build-out near Expressway 83 | 2+ standard units plus a handwashing station | 1–2 days |
| Backyard party in Los Encinos or Rosa Linda | Standard or deluxe flushing unit through the side gate | About 1 week for weekends |
| Street event or 5K with a city permit | Standard rows, 1 wheelchair-accessible unit per cluster | 7–10 days |
| Holiday Parade watch party (early December) | Standard units plus handwashing | Book in November |
Crew counts follow OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51: 1 toilet for 20 or fewer workers. Growth numbers are from Valley Business Report. For crews, see construction site toilet rentals.
Where should a porta potty go at a McAllen job site or backyard?
Place a McAllen porta potty on flat ground within about 15 feet of where the truck can park. A standard unit is about 44 inches wide, so a backyard drop needs a 48-inch clear gate. On new-build lots, keep the unit off the driveway pour and away from where the concrete truck backs in.
- Mark the spotUse a cone, stake or chalk X. Nobody needs to be home if the spot is marked.
- Check the gateMeasure the opening. Under 48 inches, the unit goes in the front yard or driveway.
- Think about service dayWeekly service needs the same clear path. Locked gates or new fences block the pump truck.
