Can I rent a porta potty near Wood River for crane season?

A porta potty can be set near Wood River for crane season, which runs about late February to early April. Book 1 to 2 weeks ahead. Tanks get a salt-brine and antifreeze mix in cold months, and water hand-wash stations switch to sanitizer in hard freezes.

Each spring, sandhill cranes gather along the Platte River near Wood River. Viewing groups, guides and landowners host visitors at dawn and dusk. Most of those spots are far from any building with a restroom.

Early spring weather is tricky. Frost, mud and wind can all show up in the same week. Pick a spot on gravel or packed ground, since the truck can't cross soft fields after a thaw.

• Send a GPS pin for the viewing site.
• Mark the spot with a stake or flag.
• Add a wheelchair-accessible unit for visitor groups.

Groups that host for several weeks can keep units on a 28-day cycle with weekly service. For a single weekend, a flat event rate works. Learn more about the wheelchair-accessible porta potty before you book.

A few tips:

• Tell us each week where the unit sits.
• Add a 2-sink hand-wash station for the washing rule.
• Face the door away from the wind.

The OSHA number is a legal minimum, so check your own crew's needs. See our farm porta potty rental page for more field setups.
