Franklinton is the oldest settled part of Columbus, laid out in 1797 on the west bank of the Scioto. The Hilltop and the Greater Hilltop neighborhoods rise to the west along West Broad Street, which is US 40 and the Historic National Road. Between the river and the hill, the ground carries a history of flooding that still shapes how sites are worked. Call (888) 351-0294 to reach a local technician. Phones are answered 24/7, and a visit the same day only when a technician is free.
The rebuilding is what keeps this area busy. East Franklinton has large cleared parcels, arts and warehouse conversions and new mid-rise construction going up at the same time, so one block can hold a crew that needs toilets for months beside a studio that needs a unit for a single weekend. A technician asks which kind of job it is before deciding how many units to place and how often they need servicing.
East Franklinton's cleared parcels and new mid-rise sites often need units on a servicing schedule that follows the crew.
Narrow Hilltop lots suit standard units placed where the pump truck can reach them from the alley or the street.
Street closures along West Broad Street draw crowds that need units grouped near the route rather than only at the stage.
Scioto Audubon Metro Park and Hilltop community spaces host smaller events that need one or two units on park ground.
Renovation crews and studio visitors often need a handwash station beside a unit near the work or the entrance.
Multi-year renovation of older parcels keeps a unit on site for the length of the job, with servicing set around the crew.
Local weather drives activity here: heat, humidity and rain change what shows up week to week.
East Franklinton sat behind the floodwall for most of a century, and the ground there was not built up the way higher parts of the city were. Parcels cleared recently can still have uneven grade and fresh fill. A unit set on that ground can lean, and a leaning unit drains badly and is harder to service. A technician looks at the surface, the grade toward the river and whether a firm pad is available before placing anything.
The river also limits the truck. Access roads near the water can be narrow, and a wet spring turns soft shoulders into ruts. Units placed close to the river edge are usually moved a short distance inland, where the truck can pull in and the unit can be serviced without the vehicle sinking. Ask the technician to show you the spot on the site before the unit is delivered.
Further west the housing is early twentieth-century frame and brick on narrow lots with alley access, and that layout is the practical limit on where a service truck can reach a unit. Many lots open only onto the street, so a unit in a back yard has to be reached along the alley or it cannot be serviced at all.
Because alleys run behind garages and past fences, a technician measures the path before the job is booked. A unit that fits the lot but cannot be reached by the pump truck is a failed placement. Tell the crew where the alley gate is, whether it locks, and whether there are overhead lines along the route. A standard unit is usually the right size for these lots.
Warehouse and arts conversions in Franklinton tend to be busy on the days a studio opens to the public and quiet otherwise. A unit for that kind of use needs placing where visitors can find it without crossing a loading area, and servicing timed to the open days rather than a fixed weekly visit. The placement works best when the owner says which days the building will be full.
Renovation of an older building is different. Crews working inside a shell need toilets close to the entrance, and the unit has to move as the work front shifts. A technician plans for the unit to be relocated during the job rather than leaving it where the first wall used to stand.
West Broad Street is the main route into the Hilltop, and events along it draw crowds that spill onto side streets. A unit placed at a church lot, a school field or a community space should sit near the path people take to reach it, not only near the stage or the front door.
Scioto Audubon Metro Park sits on the riverfront here and hosts events on park ground, where a permit may be needed before a unit can be placed. Ask the park or the city which permit applies, and let the technician know the expected number of people. The permit guide covers what the Columbus office usually asks for.

Yes, when the truck can reach the spot from the alley. A technician checks the gate width, whether it locks, and any overhead lines before confirming the placement.
Riverside ground can be soft after a wet spring. A technician checks the surface and may recommend a firmer spot a short distance inland.
Servicing is set around how many people use the unit and how long it stays. A technician agrees the schedule with the customer when the unit is booked.
Yes. Short-term placements are common for a studio opening or a community gathering. Tell the technician the dates, the expected number of people and whether the site is on park ground.
It depends on where the unit goes. Public parks and some city ground need a permit, while private property usually does not. Ask the property owner or the permit office before booking.
