How to describe what you need
Start with the job type. A construction site needs toilet counts based on crew size, a wedding needs restrooms that look better than standard units, and a disaster cleanup needs pumps and holding tanks. Tell us the date, how many people, how long you're renting and whether you need ADA accessible porta potties or deluxe flushable units. That's the core. Then add anything else: if you're in Alameda and space is tight, say that. If you need septic pumping to happen the same day as setup, mention it. If you're working on a film set and need handwashing that meets OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) because crews are applying coatings, tell us. The more specific you are, the faster we price it.
What the quote includes
Your quote covers rental cost, delivery and the first service visit. A standard porta potty holds 60 to 70 gallons and sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground. Restroom trailers run bigger and cost more, but they're climate controlled and the toilets flush. Roll-off dumpster rental gets its own line because the price depends on what goes inside and how long you keep it. Storage container rental is monthly, priced by the unit. Temporary fence rental quotes by the linear foot. Delivery fees sit separate because a roll-off needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and site access in Alameda sometimes costs more. If you need a weekend pickup in Alameda, that's a premium rate we'll call out on the quote.
When to call instead of emailing
Email works for most jobs. Call if you need same-day service, if you're not sure how many units you need, or if your site has tight access and you want to talk through placement before we show up. If you're managing a project with OSHA 1926.51(c) toilet requirements for 40 or more workers, we can walk the math with you. If you're setting up event restroom rental in Alameda and need everything in 48 hours, call. If you need emergency septic service for a backed-up tank, call right away.
Frequently asked questions
How fast can Alameda Porta Pros deliver?
Most orders in Alameda go out within 24 to 48 hours of quote approval. Same-day service costs a premium and depends on truck availability that day. Emergency septic calls get priority; call to check if your need qualifies.
What if I'm not sure how many toilets my crew needs?
Tell us headcount and hours per week worked. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets minimums: one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up, and one toilet seat and one urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. We'll size the quote from there and suggest ADA accessible units if the job requires them under ADA Standards section 213.2.
Do you rent storage containers too?
Yes. Storage container rental runs monthly. Alameda Porta Pros delivers 20-foot and 40-foot units for job-site tool lockups, temporary office space and material storage. Quote that separately or bundle it with your sanitation order.
Can I request a specific rental duration?
Absolutely. Daily, weekend, weekly and monthly all price differently, and longer durations cost less per day. Get a quote for the exact dates you need and we'll show you the breakdown.
Does the quote include service visits?
Yes. Weekly service is part of the rental for standard porta potty rental. If you need portable restroom rental with more frequent visits or special cleaning, we'll add that to the quote. Handwashing stations under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) for crews applying paints or coatings get their own service schedule we'll quote separately.
