United Site Services

What United Site Services does

United Site Services (USS) is the largest provider of portable sanitation and temporary site services in the United States, founded in 1998 and headquartered in Meridian, Idaho following a March 2026 relocation from Westborough, Massachusetts. The company operates 140+ branch locations with a fleet of approximately 7,000 vehicles and a 300,000+ item equipment inventory (portable restrooms, restroom trailers, shower trailers, hand washing stations, temporary fencing, roll-off dumpsters, holding tanks, and temporary power equipment), serving 75,000+ customers across construction, events, industrial, government, agriculture, emergency response, and residential construction verticals. Notable enterprise deployments include Formula 1 at Circuit of the Americas, Rose Bowl Stadium, New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Preakness Stakes, Denver Marathon, Naval Air Station Patuxent River, and LGI Homes.

The technical platform combines a proprietary modular sanitation system (Hydroflow, using vacuum-flush technology at 1/5 gallon per flush versus 1-2 gallons in traditional systems) with a standardized 10-point service methodology enforced through QR-code service scanning, GPS verification, and Fleetio digital fleet management across the 160-branch network. Service delivery follows three standardized cadences (Standard 2x/week, Standard+ 3x/week, Daily 5x/week), and the company holds CCPA/CPRA privacy compliance and is a participant in the U.S. Department of Energy National Clean Fleets Partnership.

The business model is hybrid recurring plus transactional. Recurring streams include per-unit equipment rental, scheduled service charges, hand sanitizer restocking, a consolidated Energy and Compliance Fee (effective February 2024), and optional damage waiver protection. Transactional revenue comes from one-time delivery, setup, and removal charges. Pricing is quote-based with monthly billing on recurring components. Distribution is multi-channel: direct field sales for enterprise accounts, inside phone-based sales for mid-market, and website self-service (MyUSS portal) for SMB and individual customers. The company was previously owned by Platinum Equity Partners and underwent a Chapter 11 restructuring that concluded in March 2026 with $2.4 billion in funded debt eliminated and $1.1 billion in new capital provided by Clearlake Capital Group and an ad hoc lender group.
