Farm and agricultural restroom rentals in San Rafael run on the same 60 to 70 gallon standard unit most crews use, with weekly service built around field labor schedules. A single unit handles a crew of 20 workers under OSHA's field sanitation rule. San Rafael Porta Pros sets units at the edge of planted rows so tractors keep clear paths.
OSHA 1928.110 sets the baseline for hand-labor agricultural work: one toilet and handwashing facility per 20 employees, and it has to sit within a quarter mile walk of wherever people are working the field. That is not a suggestion, it is the number San Rafael Porta Pros uses when we quote acreage jobs. A 40 person harvest crew spread across two fields usually means two standard porta potty rental units, not one big cluster parked at the barn. Walking distance matters more than headcount alone once a property spreads past a few acres, so we ask about field layout before we quote anything.
Water counts too. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) calls for an adequate supply of potable water at any place of employment, which is why most agricultural bookings pair a toilet with a handwashing station rental or a portable sink rental. If your crew handles harvested produce, a hand sanitizer dispenser is not a substitute. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) is explicit that washing facilities need actual soap and towels or a hand-drying device, not just sanitizer. We build that into every farm quote in San Rafael so it does not come up as a surprise during an inspection.
Standard units run day, week, and month rates, and most farm operations book by the week or month since planting and harvest cycles run longer than a weekend event.

A delivery fee applies on top, and most weekly delivery runs $50 to $150 depending on how far the truck has to go off paved road. See the full breakdown on our porta potty rental cost page, or check monthly porta potty rental if your crew works a full season. Ranches with rougher access sometimes need our porta john rental option instead of a flushable unit, since standard tanks handle uneven ground better than plumbed trailers.
If you are running a vineyard tasting event or a farm-to-table dinner alongside daily field work, that is a different animal than crew sanitation. Check event restroom rental or festival restroom rental for guest-facing setups, since those call for cleaner, higher-end units than what a picking crew needs during the workday.
Ground stability and truck access decide where a unit can go, full stop. A standard unit measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, light enough to move by hand cart but not something you want sinking into soft irrigated soil. We scout the route before delivery, since a service truck needs firm, level ground to get in and out on a weekly pump schedule.
If your property has any ADA-accessible farm stand, u-pick operation, or public-facing agritourism component, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires that at least 5 percent of clustered units be accessible, with a minimum of one. Our ADA accessible porta potty units meet that standard with a 60 inch turning circle per ADA 304.3.1 and a 32 inch clear door opening under ADA 404.2.3. For farms hosting the public in San Rafael, that is worth planning for before opening day, not after a complaint.
Larger operations sometimes need more than toilets. If you are storing tools, feed, or seasonal equipment on-site, a storage container rental or 20ft storage container keeps gear secure between seasons. Fencing off livestock or restricting public access near work zones is common too, and our temporary fence rental and chain link temporary fence options handle both. For farms running roll-off needs during harvest cleanup, see roll-off dumpster rental or construction dumpster rental if you are also doing barn or outbuilding work.
Book two to three weeks ahead of harvest start if you can, since weekly service routes fill up fast during peak season. Rush orders are possible. Check emergency porta potty rental if a unit fails mid-harvest and you need same-day coverage.
Yes. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets a baseline of one service visit per week for up to 10 users across a 40 hour week. Larger crews or longer hours need more frequent pumping, which we build into the schedule at booking.
Yes. We serve properties out toward San Anselmo, about 4.3 miles west, and Novato, roughly 11 miles north. Distance affects the delivery fee, so mention your address when requesting a quote.
Tell us before delivery. Our trucks need firm, level ground, and a porta potty placement guide walks through what surfaces work. Gravel and packed dirt are usually fine.
Permit rules vary by property and use. Confirm placement requirements with the city before delivery day; see our porta potty permit requirements page for what to ask about.
