What Don's Johns, Inc does

Don's Johns, Inc. is a portable sanitation services company founded in 1964 and headquartered in Gainesville, Virginia, serving the Washington, DC Metro Area. The company rents portable restroom units (porta potties), luxury restroom trailers, hand-wash stations, holding tanks, temporary fencing, and roll-off dumpsters to customers across six primary verticals: events, construction, government, industrial, agriculture, and emergency response. Its core customer base includes event organizers (weddings, marathons, music festivals, state fairs), commercial and residential construction sites, government projects, and industrial operations requiring OSHA-compliant on-site sanitation.

The company operates on a recurring rental revenue model, with service frequency driving repeat revenue cycles. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; transactions are initiated through quote requests rather than fixed list pricing. Don's Johns holds no disclosed proprietary technology, patents, or AI/ML capabilities; its value is operational — fleet, routing, and local service density in the DC Metro market.

In 2025, Don's Johns was acquired by United Site Services, the largest provider of portable sanitation equipment in the United States. Following the acquisition, Don's Johns customers gained access to USS's nationwide network of 100+ service locations and its full equipment portfolio. Distribution is now executed through USS's combined motion of field sales, inside phone sales (689-284-0047), and online self-service tools (app.myuss.com) for quoting, ordering, tracking, pickup requests, and bill payment. Don's Johns now operates as a retained-brand subsidiary within USS, with 23 employees inherited at acquisition.
