Most porta potty rental in San Rafael runs about 150 dollars a day for a standard unit, and San Rafael Porta Pros delivers to job sites, backyards and events across town. We drop the unit, service it weekly, and haul it out when you're done. Call for a same-week slot.
Price depends on the unit and how long you keep it. A standard toilet is the cheapest way in. A deluxe flushable unit costs more, and a restroom trailer sits at the top. Here's the range on the two you'll rent most, before delivery.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard porta potty | 100 - 350 | 130 - 500 | 125 - 325 |
| ADA accessible | 200 - 400 | 120 - 240 | - |
Delivery is billed separately and runs 100 to 500 dollars depending on distance and access. A weekend standard rental sits around 250 dollars. For a full breakdown see our porta potty rental cost page, the per-day rates, or the monthly rental option. If you want a firm number, request a quote and we'll price your address.
Start with the job. A construction crew wants a plain standard porta potty, sometimes called a porta john or portable toilet. A wedding wants something nicer. A luxury restroom trailer has flushing toilets and sinks inside, and the fancy portable restroom is what people mean by a nice unit.
A standard unit measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, so you need a flat spot and headroom. The holding tank holds 60 to 70 gallons. For events, an event restroom setup or a 4 stall trailer handles bigger crowds. Building or renovating? Pair a toilet with a home renovation porta potty plan or construction site services. Not sure how many? Our how many porta potties do I need guide walks the math.
OSHA sets the floor. Under 1926.51(c)(1), you need one toilet for up to 20 workers, then one seat and one urinal per 40 workers once you pass 20. At 200 workers or more the ratio shifts to one per 50. Our OSHA portable toilet requirements page lays out the full table.
Water matters too. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) requires an adequate supply of potable water at every workplace. If your crew applies paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities on top of the toilet, so add a handwashing station or a portable sink. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), those sinks need soap and towels, not just sanitizer. A hand sanitizer station supplements but doesn't replace them. See the handwashing requirements page for the details.
On your own property, almost anywhere flat and reachable. The unit sits on the ground, so pick firm, level dirt or pavement and leave room for the service truck. Our placement guide covers spacing, door swing and truck access.
Placing a unit in the public right of way, like a street or sidewalk in San Rafael, needs confirming with the city before delivery. Permit rules here are NOT VERIFIED, so we won't quote a code we can't stand behind. Check with the city first. The same goes for a dumpster permit if you add a roll-off. Our porta potty permit requirements page and the rental checklist help you plan. For ADA jobs, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of clustered units, never fewer than one, be accessible. See ADA restroom requirements.
Yes. The baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 is one service visit per week for up to 10 users on a 40 hour week. We pump the tank, restock paper and sanitize the interior on that schedule. Heavy use gets more frequent visits.
Weekly service is why a clean unit doesn't smell the way people expect. Our how often are porta potties cleaned page explains the visit, and do porta potties smell answers the honest question. If a tank fills faster than planned, emergency porta potty rental gets a swap out fast. We serve nearby towns too: San Anselmo is 4.3 miles west, Larkspur 5.1 miles southwest, and Novato 11.0 miles north. See every stop on our service areas map, and Mill Valley 8.7 miles south is on the list.
A standard unit runs from 100 dollars a day at the low end. Fancier units and ADA models cost more, and delivery is billed on top. For your exact address, contact us with the dates.
Call as early as you can, especially for events. Standard job-site units are usually available same week. Big wedding or festival orders with a trailer need more lead time. Weekends book fastest.
Yes. A weekend standard rental sits around 250 dollars plus delivery. Weekends are a short-term premium rate, so they cost more per day than a weekly rental. A camping porta potty is a common weekend job for us.
We do. Besides toilets we handle roll-off dumpsters, septic pumping, storage containers and temporary fence. A septic tank gets pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on size and household.
That's a restroom trailer cost question. A luxury trailer has flushing toilets, running-water sinks and climate control inside, unlike a basic unit. A 2 stall trailer fits smaller gatherings, an 8 stall trailer fits crowds.
