When you contact us, we shall provide a review of your construction project details, including the number of workers, work environment, and schedule, and then recommend the appropriate number of units.

Use cases shall provide a variety of scenarios for our services.

Types of Porta Potty Rental We Offer
Standard Construction Porta Potties
Our standard construction porta-potties shall provide rugged, free-standing units designed specifically for demanding job site conditions. Each toilet shall be well-ventilated, equipped with a secure door and partition for privacy, and maintained in a clean, hygienic condition through scheduled service.
These units are ideal when no sanitary sewer or permanent restroom is available. We shall provide portable chemical toilets that are self-contained and do not require a sewer connection. Regular cleaning and pumping are included in our maintenance schedules so the units are always maintained in good working order and compliant with minimum requirements.
ADA-Compliant & Accessible Units
Many projects require ADA-compliant or otherwise accessible portable restroom facilities. Our ADA-compliant units shall provide wider doors, ramps, and handrails, and they remain free-standing and stable even on uneven ground. These units are designed so that restroom facilities are readily accessible to all workers and visitors.
When separate toilet facilities are required—for example, to provide separate toilet facilities for different groups—we can configure a layout that satisfies local regulations and the code section that applies to your site. We ensure each accessible toilet shall meet California Code of Regulations Title 8 requirements as well as OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 provisions for accessible restroom facilities.
Portable Restroom Trailers & Handwash Stations
For higher-end construction sites, longer-term builds, or projects with clients regularly visiting the job site, we offer portable restroom trailers and stand-alone handwash stations. These can include multiple units that shall provide essential services. water closets, urinals, interior partitions, and proper ventilation to enhance cleanliness and comfort.
Handwash stations and lavatory setups can include soap dispensers, hand towels or air dryers, and a connection to a sanitary sewer where available. When the sanitary sewer is not available, we shall provide self-contained fresh water and waste tanks in line with the requirements of this section. These setups support a professional work environment and show inspectors that sanitation facilities are taken seriously.
Long-Term Construction Project Rentals
Long-term construction project rentals are tailored to evolving workforce size and schedule. As your number of workers increases, the number of toilets and the number of portable toilets must be adjusted. We help you track the minimum number of units required, so you always meet the requirements for construction sites.
We review the job’s timeline, crew size by phase, and any changes to work shifts. As the project grows, we can add the number of portable units needed, adjust maintenance schedules, and ensure the section shall not apply exemptions that are never incorrectly relied upon. Our goal is consistent compliance and a clean and sanitary work environment from groundbreaking to final inspection.
Pricing & Cost Factors
We shall provide pricing that is transparent and straightforward. Your porta-potty rental cost in California will depend on several key factors rather than a one-size-fits-all rate.
- Number of units – The more units required to meet the minimum number and code section standards, the higher the overall rental shall be. The number of toilets is driven by workforce size, shifts, and whether separate toilet facilities must be provided.
- Rental duration – Short-term rentals for weekend work shall provide a cost-effective option compared to long-term construction project contracts, though long-term clients often benefit from better per-unit value.
- Service frequency & maintenance – Units that are serviced more often—pumped, cleaned, and restocked—cost more but significantly improve cleanliness and hygienic conditions.
- Unit type – Standard chemical toilets are more affordable than restroom trailers, ADA-compliant units, or specialty free-standing lavatory stations.
- Site access & location – Difficult access, remote locations, and multiple job site drops can affect transport and service fees, especially when local regulations limit where units can be placed or how often they must be serviced.
We’ll walk you through all of this so you understand exactly what must be provided, why, and how we keep you compliant with health and safety requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below are some frequently asked questions to help you make informed decisions about porta-potty rentals in California.
How many porta-potties do I need for my construction site?
The minimum number of units depends on the number of workers and work shifts. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 and California Title 8 safety orders specify how many toilets shall be provided per workforce size. As a simple guide, at least one toilet must be provided for small crews, with more units required as the number of workers increases. We calculate the exact number of units for your project.
Do your units meet California Code of Regulations requirements?
Yes. Our portable restrooms and sanitation facilities are selected and serviced to meet the requirements of the California Code of Regulations, Title 8, including applicable construction and general industry safety orders. We make sure every toilet shall be maintained in a clean, sanitary condition and that toilet facilities shall be readily accessible to your crew.
Do I need a sewer connection for construction porta-potties?
No. Most construction sites use chemical toilets that are completely self-contained and do not require a sanitary sewer connection. Where a sewer is available, we can provide units or trailers that shall provide a tie into the sanitary sewer system, but it is not required for compliance on most job sites.
How often are units cleaned?
Units are serviced on a schedule based on usage, workforce size, and the number of portable toilets on-site. Regular cleaning and pumping are critical to keeping restroom facilities clean and sanitary. We’ll recommend a maintenance schedule that keeps everything hygienic and compliant while still respecting your budget.
Are your porta-potties ADA-compliant?
We offer ADA-compliant and accessible restroom facilities that meet accessibility standards, including appropriate space, ramps, and grab bars. When ADA units must be provided pursuant to this section of the code, we’ll ensure the correct number and configuration are on-site.
What if my project has separate areas or multiple shifts?
We look at the layout of the job site, separate work zones, and shift patterns. In some cases, separate toilet facilities must be provided to ensure every worker has restroom access that is readily accessible. We can place units in different areas and adjust the number of toilets as your project phases change.
Where can I see the specific code section that applies?
We can point you toward the relevant Title 8 code section and OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 language so you can review the requirements of this section yourself. Our team stays updated on changes issued by the Department of Industrial Relations, so you don’t have to interpret every section shall detail.
