Construction site services in San Rafael means portable toilets, roll-off dumpsters, temporary fencing, storage containers and handwashing stations delivered to the job and serviced on a schedule that matches your crew size. A standard unit rents from $100 a day, and OSHA sets the toilet count under 1926.51(c). Most jobs need more than one thing, and San Rafael Porta Pros brings them together on one ticket.
Every jobsite needs three things at minimum: a toilet, a place for debris, and clean water for hands. Standard porta potty rental covers the first one, and a single 60 to 70 gallon tank on a standard unit handles a small crew for about a week between service visits, per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3's baseline interval for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Debris needs a container, and a roll-off dumpster rental in the 10, 20, 30 or 40 yard range clears scrap fast, which matters because OSHA 1926.25 requires housekeeping and scrap clearance in work areas. Delivery trucks need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the drop point, so tell us what the driveway looks like before the truck shows up.
Bigger sites add temporary fence rental to secure the perimeter and control who walks in, plus a storage container rental for tools and materials that can't sit exposed overnight. If the crew is doing painting, coating or pesticide work, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that specific contaminant exposure, which is where a handwashing station rental earns its keep. San Rafael contractors juggling multiple trades often run all four services on the same delivery day.
OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers as the crew grows past 20, and one per 50 once you hit 200 or more. That ratio is the floor cal osha portable toilet requirements construction crews get inspected against, so undercounting is the easiest way to fail a walk-through. Our how many porta potties do I need guide walks through the math by crew size and shift length.
Water matters too. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) requires an adequate supply of potable water at every place of employment, and if the crew is mixing coatings or handling herbicides or insecticides, 1926.51(f)(1) kicks in for washing after that specific work. Larger sites sometimes ask about accessible units for a foreman or visiting inspector with mobility needs; ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of clustered single-user units to be accessible, with a minimum of one, and our ADA accessible porta potty page covers the door width and clearance specs. For full detail on the federal standard, see OSHA portable toilet requirements.
Portable toilet rental for construction sites cost depends mostly on duration and unit type, not on which contractor you call. Here's what the numbers look like across day, week and month terms:
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $100 - $350 | $130 - $500 | $125 - $325 |
| ADA accessible | $200 - $400 | $240 - $290 | - |
| Deluxe flushable | $85 - $1,200 | $150 - $290 | - |
A delivery fee, typically $100 to $500 for a single trip, applies on top of the rental depending on distance and access. Monthly terms bring the per-day cost down for jobs running past a few weeks, which is most construction timelines. For a deeper breakdown by duration, see porta potty rental cost, porta potty rental per day and monthly porta potty rental. If a weekend closeout event needs extra units on short notice, emergency porta potty rental covers that gap too.
Yes. San Rafael Porta Pros delivers portable toilets, dumpsters, fencing, storage and handwashing stations as one coordinated order instead of five separate vendor calls. That matters on a tight schedule, because a single delivery window means fewer trucks crossing the site and fewer scheduling conflicts with concrete pours or crane days.
A typical mid-size build in San Rafael pairs a porta john rental or two with a 20 yard dumpster rental, a run of chain link temporary fence around the perimeter, and a 20ft storage container for tools. Crews working near San Anselmo, 4.3 miles west, or Larkspur, 5.1 miles southwest, get the same delivery terms since both sit inside our regular service loop. If the site needs lighting after dark, we also handle light tower rental and temporary power pole setups. For homeowners tackling a smaller remodel rather than a full build, home renovation porta potty is the simpler version of this same service. Renovation or new build, GFCI protection under OSHA 1926.404(b)(1)(ii) still applies to any temporary power you bring on site, so plan the electrical scope before the trailer or power pole arrives. Check construction dumpster rental for size guidance if debris volume is the bigger unknown, and see dumpster permit requirements before you place a container in a street-facing spot, since placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the City of San Rafael before drop-off.
Book as soon as you have a start date, ideally two to three weeks out for standard units and longer for restroom trailers or large fencing runs. Permits and site access can shift delivery dates, so early booking gives room to adjust without delaying the crew's first day.
Maybe, depending on where the unit sits. If it's fully on private property, usually not; if it touches the sidewalk, street or right of way, check with the city first. See dumpster permit requirements and porta potty permit requirements for what to ask.
Most single-room remodels fit a 10 or 20 yard container, while full gut jobs or additions often need a 30 yard. Compare footprints on dumpster sizes and dimensions before ordering, since swapping mid-job costs an extra trip.
Yes, handwashing stations rent separately from toilets. Crews doing painting or coating work often add one specifically to meet OSHA 1926.51(f)(1), and 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and a towel or drying device, not just sanitizer.
Our regular loop covers San Rafael and reaches San Anselmo at 4.3 miles, Larkspur at 5.1 miles, and Mill Valley at 8.7 miles. Novato, 11.0 miles north, and San Pablo, 14.5 miles east, are also within our standard delivery range.
