How fast can you deliver a porta potty to Mercedes?
Mercedes is about 30 minutes from our Edinburg yard, the farthest east of our core Hidalgo County routes. Call by 12:00 PM, Monday through Saturday, for same-day delivery in ZIP 78570 while trucks and units are free. For a job that must start early, book the day before and ask for a morning slot.
The drive runs east on Expressway 83 past Weslaco. Rural lots on the Mile roads north of town take a little longer. Booking a day ahead gives you the best choice of delivery window.

How should I plan porta potties around the RGV Livestock Show in Mercedes?
The Rio Grande Valley Livestock Show runs every March on just over 100 acres at 1000 North Texas Avenue and draws over 300,000 visitors. The 2025 edition ran March 7–17. Book porta potties for private parties, tailgates and nearby businesses by mid-February, because Friday slots that month fill early.
The grounds now host events all year, with a 6,100-seat rodeo arena and a new concert pavilion. Facts from the RGV Livestock Show and Mercedes EDC. We rent to private hosts and businesses; the show’s own grounds follow the show’s vendor rules.
Do I need a permit for porta potties at a Mercedes event?
Mercedes uses an Event Permit Application through its Planning Department, due at least 3 days before the event. The form lists $75 for an event coordinator, $15 per vendor booth and $25 to $50 for benefit or nonprofit events. Call Planning at (956) 565-3114, ext. 128–130, at 400 S. Ohio Ave.
Apply online with the City of Mercedes Event Permit Application. The form requires food from an approved source and food handler permits, so plan a handwashing station for any food booth. Confirm restroom counts with your permit office or venue.
Which unit fits Mercedes-specific jobs?
Mercedes rentals lean toward ranch-style parties, quinceañeras, show-season gatherings and rural home builds. A standard unit covers 50 guests for 4 hours. Larger family events on country lots often choose a restroom trailer, which needs level ground, a 120V outlet and a garden hose or onboard water tank.
| Mercedes job | Unit we usually send | Book ahead |
|---|---|---|
| Livestock Show tailgate or yard party, 80 guests | 2 standard units + handwashing | By mid-February |
| Quinceañera on a country lot, 200 guests, 6 hours | Restroom trailer + 2 standard units | 7–10 days |
| RV resort event at Llano Grande | Standard + 1 wheelchair-accessible unit | About 1 week |
| Home build in Valley Ranch Estates | 1 standard unit, weekly service | 1 day |
| Field crew of 25 on farmland | 2 toilets + 2 handwashing stations | 2–3 days |
Field crews follow OSHA 29 CFR 1928.110. See restroom trailers for power and water details.
