Sharpstown is a mid-century subdivision where homes are frequently remodeled, so rentals here are mostly construction units that stay for the length of a project. Houston Porta Potty Rental connects you with an independent local provider who delivers, services and removes them, subject to what is free.
Developer Frank Sharp dedicated Sharpstown on March 13, 1955. It was Houston's first master-planned, car-oriented community and then the largest subdivision in the United States, with its own mall and golf course. Building ran from the mid-1950s to 1961, and Sharp donated a 300-foot strip of land for the Southwest Freeway. The area sits in ZIP 77036, about 17.9 km from the city center.
The mall is the best-known landmark: Sharpstown Center opened September 14, 1961, as Houston's first air-conditioned, enclosed mall, and it is now PlazAmericas. Everything else here was laid out in the same planned stretch of years, which matters when you ask what a rental is for.
Portable restroom placement and unit type choice in Houston depend on summer heat, humidity, flooding risk and tropical storms.
One planner laid out Sharpstown, and it was built over a handful of years, so many houses were put up at about the same time and are now at about the same stage of life. Mid-century homes here are frequently remodeled, and a remodel is not a one-day job. A kitchen gut, a room addition or a full renovation keeps tradespeople on the lot for weeks.
That is where a rental by the week or month fits better than a single delivery. A crew of a few people sharing one unit over a long schedule needs it serviced on a rhythm the provider sets, which depends on how many people use it and for how long. Say so on the first call, before the unit is delivered.
Sharpstown was designed around the car. Driveways are a natural staging area, and a unit beside a driveway or at the edge of a front yard is usually easier for a provider's truck than a spot at the curb that blocks a lane.
The questions a provider is likely to ask: where the truck can pull up, whether a gate or a parked car narrows the space, and whether anyone will be home to point out the spot. Answer those, and give a cross street so the delivery goes to the right house. The provider moves, services and removes the unit; you should not attempt any of those yourself.
A planned neighborhood with a shopping center and a long history draws community gatherings too: a church lot, a school event, a market day, a block party. For those, count heads and apply the numbers the City of Houston uses on its special-event paperwork, which are one portable toilet per 300 persons, ten percent wheelchair accessible and one handwashing station per 300 persons.
Houston's special-event office handles street functions and festivals that close or use public streets, with filing windows of at least 40 days for minor events and 120 days for major ones. An event held on private property is a different question; ask the property owner. Our special event permit guide shows what the office asks for. For a small community market, see community event and market restrooms.
We have no sourced detail on the condition of any particular Sharpstown house, so we make no claim. What the planned layout does give a provider is predictability: lots on a neighborhood laid out in one stretch of years tend to have similar shapes and setbacks, so the driveway-or-yard question usually has a quick answer.
If the lot is oddly shaped, or the house sits on a corner, say so on the call. A provider planning a route would rather hear about a tight corner before the truck arrives. Once the unit is in place, it stays put until the provider collects it, and the crew should not shift it to fit a new delivery or a parked vehicle.
Frequent remodels of mid-century homes mean crews on site for weeks.
A multi-week renovation is cheaper to plan for as a term rental than as repeated deliveries.
A shared unit on a long remodel needs a servicing rhythm set by the provider.
Church lots, school events and block gatherings use small banks and a handwash station.
One unit beside a driveway is the usual setup for a single-house job.

Sharpstown ZIP codes we cover: 77036. Type yours to confirm, or just call.
It began as one, dedicated on March 13, 1955, and was Houston's first master-planned, car-oriented community. Today it is a neighborhood within the City of Houston, ZIP 77036, so Houston's own event and permit offices apply.
That depends on the provider, the house and the street. Ask the provider what rental term and servicing schedule fit your crew size, and tell them if the unit will stand on a driveway or in a yard. Do not move it yourself.
We have no rule on that. PlazAmericas is the former Sharpstown Center, and arrangements for any event there go through the property owner or manager. Tell the provider the location so units can be placed where the owner allows.
Use the City of Houston's special-event ratio as a starting point: one portable toilet per 300 persons, ten percent accessible, one handwashing station per 300. A block party is smaller than most permitted events, so ask the provider what they suggest.
Ask the provider through the line; trailers suit larger gatherings and weddings more than a remodel crew. See the restroom trailer pages for how they differ from single units, and tell the provider the head count and the date.
Give the street and cross street, say whether the unit will stand on a driveway or in a yard, and note any gate, parked vehicle or tight corner. Say how many people will use it each day and how long the job will last.
