What Walters Services does

Walters Services, Inc. is a family-owned portable sanitation and waste management company founded in 1973 by Fabe and Bev Walters, headquartered in Grantville, Pennsylvania. The company rents portable toilets (basic, deluxe, ADA-compliant, kids, high-rise, and poly lift models), luxury restroom trailers (ten models spanning roughly 75 to 2,000 person capacities with flushing toilets, climate control, and running water), 20- and 30-yard roll-off dumpsters, temporary construction fencing, and accessory items such as hand washing stations, sinks, and baby changing stations. It also operates a septic services line under the Walters Environmental sub-brand, covering pumping, inspections, repairs, and installations across Maryland, D.C., and Northern Virginia. The company holds PSMA certification for septic inspections and maintains memberships across Portable Sanitation Association International, multiple ABC chapters, NAHB, Pennsylvania Builders Association, and regional chambers of commerce.

The company monetizes through recurring rental fees on portable toilets, dumpsters, fencing, and trailers, with professional-services billing on septic work; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct through six physical office locations in Pennsylvania (Grantville, Lancaster, Lititz, York, Hatfield) and Maryland (Owings), with field delivery and service teams covering Pennsylvania, Maryland, Washington D.C., and Northern Virginia. Sales is phone- and web-driven, with quote requests returned within eight business hours. Customers span construction companies, event planners, individual homeowners, municipalities and community organizations, and educational institutions — with named recurring enterprise relationships including Mascaro Construction, ISM Construction (decade-plus customer), and Elizabethtown College (since 2016). The firm operates independently as a privately held, multi-generational family business with no external investment or institutional ownership disclosed.
