We're Your Local Crew, Built for Ann Arbor's Demands

I'm Aisha Khan, and I started Tree Town Sanitation back in 2008. It wasn't a grand plan—it was necessity. After a particularly harsh winter here a few years ago, I saw how community events, like the fall festival at the Dexter Cider Mill, were struggling without reliable sanitation. People needed a service that understood our specific Ann Arbor rhythm, from the infill construction downtown to the chill that settles in for 147 days below freezing. We don't just drop off a unit; we deliver a solution that works for you. We're certified by the Portable Sanitation Association International, and I hold an OSHA 10-Hour Construction Safety Certification, so you can trust we know the rules inside and out. You can see our full commitment across neighborhoods like Downtown / Main Street, Old Fourth Ward, Oxbridge, and right by the Kerrytown market. Our operation is built on a few core principles that keep things running smoothly, no matter the project: That harsh winter taught me that when you need a portable restroom, you often need it *now*—whether it's for a last-minute event permit or an unexpected crew expansion on a standard construction unit job. Our crew lives here; we know the flood zones are low, but we also know how a sudden thaw can affect access. We've built our service around being the reliable call. For a wedding at the Kerrytown Market & Shops, we'll bring out a luxury restroom trailer. For a construction site in Oxbridge, we'll set up a hand wash station next to the porta potty. It's all about matching the right equipment to the need. And we back it up with knowledge—check our resources on topics like septic pumping vs rental to help you plan. After 16 years, our promise is simple: when you need it, and you need it *now*, we get it there. Give us a call at (734) 666-2487, and let's talk about your next project.

Here When It Matters: Our Stories from Ann Arbor

Emergency Winter Service Downtown / Main Street

The Winter Festival That Almost Wasn't

I remember getting the call from the organizers of the annual Winter Market near the Kerr Lake path. It was the morning after a brutal ice storm, and they had a dozen units scheduled for delivery that day. Their main access road was glazed over, and our usual truck couldn't get within a quarter-mile of the site. The stakes were high—postponing the market meant losing crucial holiday revenue for dozens of local vendors.

We loaded two of our tracked skid-steer units onto a flatbed and brought in our crew with ice cleats. Within two hours, we had those twelve portable restrooms strategically placed on stable ground, using sandbags for extra security on the frozen terrain. The market opened right on time, and we kept a truck on standby for the three-day event to handle the increased usage in the cold.

I don't know how you managed it, but you saved our entire season.

A Sudden Crowd on Main Street

We were servicing our regular downtown route when we got an urgent dispatch. A last-minute street closure for a filming permit near Zingerman's Deli had trapped several hundred people, and the city's public facilities were locked for the night. The production company hadn't planned for sanitation, and you could see the panic setting in as the crowd grew. They needed a solution immediately to avoid a major public health issue.

Our crew rerouted two delivery trucks on the spot. We placed a bank of six deluxe restroom trailers with hand-washing stations at the edge of the closed set within 45 minutes, coordinating directly with the location manager to use a private alley for access. The setup ran flawlessly for the overnight shoot, and we handled the pickup just as the sun came up, leaving no trace.

Your team turned a potential disaster into a non-issue before we even finished our emergency call.
