Blakely at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the Wilkes-Barre Intl Ap, PA station, about 12 miles away.
Planning Around the Weather
DOE's Building America map puts Lackawanna County in the Cold climate region (IECC 2021 zone 5A, PNNL county guide). Winters in this region are long enough that freezing, not heat, is usually the main limit on units that carry water.
Freezing Nights
About 122 nights a year drop to 32°F or below, more than most U.S. places in our data, so freezing weather covers a large part of the year. Anything that holds fresh water freezes first: hand-wash stations, deluxe flush tanks and trailer plumbing. For winter dates, ask for winterized units or a heated restroom trailer, or plan on sanitizer.
Job Sites and Home Projects
Older Homes and Remodels
The median year built for Blakely's housing is 1945 (ACS 2020–2024), older than nine in ten U.S. places in our data. On older lots without a driveway or side yard, a remodel crew's unit may have to stand at the curb, which is a street-use question (see who to ask below). Interior work in occupied older homes is still construction work under OSHA 1926.51.
Apartments, Townhouses and Rentals
The most common housing type is detached houses, about 68% of units (higher than most U.S. places in our data), followed by two- to four-unit buildings at about 24% (ACS 2020–2024). Detached houses usually have a driveway or yard where a crew's unit can stand within reach of the service truck. In small multi-unit buildings where tenants stay in place during work, put the crew's unit where it does not block a shared entrance. About 32% of occupied homes are rented (owner share higher than most U.S. places in our data), so check who controls the property before a unit goes on it.
Under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51, a crew of 20 or fewer needs one toilet, so a single unit covers a typical renovation crew; you can ask for exactly one. More on sizing: construction rentals in Pennsylvania.
Events, Weddings and Parties
A three-hour winter event for 1,000 people needs 8 units on the PSAI event chart, or 9 to 10 with alcohol (PSAI adds 10–20%). Every cluster of restrooms needs at least 5% accessible units, rounded up, so even a two-unit cluster includes an ADA unit.
Cold, not heat, limits the outdoor season: from late fall into spring, ask for a heated restroom trailer or units that do not depend on running water. More: event rentals in Pennsylvania and wedding restrooms in Pennsylvania.
Who to Ask About Local Rules
Blakely is a borough with its own municipal government. For an event on public land, or a unit that will stand on a street, sidewalk or in a park, ask the Blakely borough government before you book what applies.
On attached or small multi-unit lots without a driveway, a unit at the curb is a street-use question for the Blakely borough government.

Can I rent porta potties in Blakely, PA?
Yes. Call (888) 417-6737, answered 24/7, with the Blakely address and dates; we connect you with a provider that serves the site, and the provider confirms units, price, delivery, servicing and pickup.
Do I need a porta potty for a home remodel in Blakely?
If the crew cannot use the home's bathroom, yes (OSHA 1926.51). Half of Blakely's housing was built in 1945 or earlier, and on older lots the curb may be the only spot for the unit.
What weather should I plan for in Blakely?
NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the Wilkes-Barre Intl. Airport, PA station, about 12 miles away: about 12 days a year at or above 90°F, 122 nights at or below 32°F and 39 inches of precipitation. Plan for freezing first: water-carrying units need winterizing or heat.
I rent my home in Blakely. Can I order a porta potty?
Yes, but get the landlord's or property manager's OK on where it will stand first. About 32% of Blakely's occupied homes are rented (ACS 2020–2024), so this comes up often.
Who do I ask about a permit for an event or a unit on the street in Blakely?
Ask the Blakely borough government. Its special-events or street-use office can say what applies to your date.
What affects the price of a porta potty rental?
Unit type, number of units, rental length, servicing frequency and how easy the site is to reach. The provider quotes before you book.
