What does porta potty rental cost in Alameda?
Price depends on the unit and how long you keep it. A standard portable toilet sits in the range below. Deluxe flushable models and restroom trailers cost more because they carry more. Delivery is a separate line, typically $100 to $150 for a single drop inside Alameda.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $150 | $200 | $200 |
| Deluxe flushable | $250 | $290 | - |
| ADA accessible | $200 | $240 | - |
Weekend event pricing on a standard unit runs about $250 flat. See the full porta potty rental cost breakdown, or the per day rate if your job is short. Longer jobs fit the monthly rental plan.

Which porta potty should I rent?
Match the unit to the job. A standard porta potty rental covers most construction and yard work. Want a nicer one for guests? The deluxe flushable porta potty has a flush and a sink, and a luxury restroom trailer is the fancy option for weddings. A standard unit measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands about 92 inches tall, so plan the footprint before we arrive.
Every standard unit carries a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank. That drives how often it needs service. If you need wheelchair access, the ADA accessible porta potty meets ADA Standards section 404.2.3, which sets a 32 inch minimum clear door opening. Some folks call these a porta john rental or a portable toilet rental or a portable restroom rental. Same thing. Not sure how many you need? Start with the how many porta potties guide.
How many portable toilets do I need for a job site?
OSHA sets the floor. Under 1926.51(c)(1), a construction site needs one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one seat and one urinal per 40 workers once you pass 20, and one per 50 at 200 or more. The OSHA portable toilet requirements page walks the full table.
ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, and we hold to that. If your crew is applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities on top of the toilets, so add a handwashing station rental or a portable sink rental. Soap and towels are required under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), and sanitizer alone does not satisfy it. For a full crew setup, our construction site services bundle toilets, temporary fence rental and a storage container rental. Read the placement guide before we drop.
Do you handle events and weddings in Alameda?
Yes. We set units for parties, festivals and race routes across Alameda. For a wedding, most people want the wedding restroom rental or a luxury restroom trailer so guests get a flush and a mirror. Bigger crowds go to the event restroom rental or the festival restroom rental page for headcount math.
A trailer needs level ground and space. The 44 by 48 inch standard footprint is small, but a 2 stall restroom trailer or 4 stall restroom trailer takes real room, and the 8 stall restroom trailer is bigger still. Where units cluster, ADA Standards section 213.2 says at least 5 percent, and never fewer than one, must be accessible. We cover concerts, marathons, golf tournaments and the county fair. Need a shower on site? Ask about the shower trailer rental. Weekend trailer rates start higher, so book early.
What else can you deliver with the toilets?
Plenty. A roll-off pairs well with a renovation, and a roll-off dumpster rental drops in sizes from a 10 yard up to a 40 yard. A delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so clear the path first. Check dumpster sizes and what cannot go in a dumpster before you load.
We also pump septic. A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size, and our septic pumping service handles that. A grease interceptor gets pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth, covered on the grease trap pumping page. Watch for septic warning signs between visits. Need power or light on a dark lot? See the light tower rental and temporary power pole. We serve Piedmont 10.6 miles north and Emeryville 12.4 miles north too. Full service areas here.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a porta potty rental near me?
A standard unit is roughly $150 a day or $200 a week inside Alameda, plus a delivery fee around $100 to $150. Deluxe and ADA units cost more. See the cost page for the full bands, or contact us for a firm quote.
How often do you service the units?
The baseline is one visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, matching ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. Heavy use gets more frequent visits. The cleaning schedule page explains what a service visit includes and how we keep odor down.
Do I need a permit to place a porta potty in Alameda?
If the unit sits on your own property, usually no. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the City of Alameda, and we will not name a rule we cannot verify. Read the permit requirements page, then call the city.
Can I rent just one porta potty?
Yes. We drop a single unit for a home renovation, a small party or a backyard project. The home renovation porta potty page covers the short-term setup. One toilet, one delivery, one weekly service. No minimum crew size on our end.
How fast can you deliver?
Same-day and next-day drops are often possible in Alameda when we have stock. For urgent needs, the emergency porta potty rental page has the details, and disaster relief sanitation covers larger deployments. Call early in the day for the best shot at same-day service.
