Where can you rent a porta potty in Redwood City?
Right here. Redwood City Porta Pros runs the core rental pool for the city, from a single standard porta potty for a backyard job to a bank of units for a jobsite. We cover Redwood City proper and the towns around it. Menlo Park sits 6.0 miles southeast, San Carlos 6.4 miles west, and we run both routes daily.

What does portable toilet rental cost in Redwood City?
Depends on the unit and how long you keep it. A standard porta potty rental is the cheapest way in. A deluxe flushable unit costs more because it has a foot pump and a sink. An ADA accessible unit sits at the top of the single-unit range. Here is the short version, and the full porta potty rental cost breakdown lives on its own page.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 100-350 | 130-500 | 125-325 |
| Deluxe flushable | 85-1200 | 150-290 | see quote |
| ADA accessible | 200-400 | 120-240 | see quote |
Delivery is billed separately, usually 100 to 150 dollars for a single-day drop. Want a per-day figure or a monthly rate? Those pages hold the detail. A standard weekend rental runs about 250 dollars.
How fast can you deliver?
Most orders in Redwood City land within 24 hours. Call early and same-day is often possible. If a pipe burst or a permit inspection surprised you, the emergency porta potty line moves faster. We stage units close to town so the truck is not driving in from Newark, which sits 15.7 miles east. A standard unit is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and roughly 92 inches tall, so we need a flat spot and a clear path in. Placement matters more than people think, and the placement guide walks through the common mistakes. For a bigger set-up, delivery of a storage container or temporary fence can ride along on the same trip. We coordinate all of it. If you are running a construction site, we schedule the drop around your grading so nothing gets buried. Ask about it when you request a quote.
Which unit type is right for you?
Four main choices. A standard portable toilet suits construction crews and casual outdoor jobs; it holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank and services weekly under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, which sets one visit a week as the baseline for up to 10 users. A deluxe flushable unit fits weddings and nicer events where guests expect a sink and a flush. An ADA accessible unit meets ADA Standards section 404.2.3, with a 32 inch clear door opening, and section 304.3.1, the 60 inch turning circle. And when a crowd or a long event outgrows single units, a restroom trailer gives you real stalls and running water. We stock 2 stall, 4 stall, and 8 stall trailers, plus a luxury restroom trailer and a shower trailer. Still deciding between a portable restroom and a trailer? The trailer cost page compares them.
How does the rental and service work?
Simple. You tell us the unit, the dates, and the drop spot. We deliver, level it, and stock it. Through the rental we come back to pump the tank and restock paper. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 puts the baseline at one service visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, and we bump that up when the count runs higher. Curious how often crews really need it? The cleaning schedule page explains. Worried about odor? Read do porta potties smell, and if you want the mechanics, how porta potties work covers the tank and the deodorizer. When the job ends we pull the unit clean. For winter jobs, the cold-weather guide has the freeze tips. Pair a unit with a handwashing station and you meet 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), which requires soap and a towel or dryer at washing facilities. Hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy that rule.
How many porta potties do you need for a jobsite?
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 workers at 200 or more. The full OSHA requirements page lays out the table, and the how many do I need calculator does the math for you. Water counts too. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) requires an adequate supply of potable water at every workplace. If your crew handles paints, coatings, herbicides, or insecticides, 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that contaminant work, so add a portable sink. For farm labor, 1928.110 sets a facility within a quarter-mile walk. Renovating a house? The home renovation porta potty page is the right start, and many Redwood City remodels pair a unit with a roll-off dumpster. A hand sanitizer station rounds out the setup.
What else can you deliver with your restrooms?
Plenty, and it saves you a second vendor. We run roll-off dumpsters in 10 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard, and 40 yard sizes; the sizes and dimensions page helps you pick. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so read what cannot go in a dumpster and the weight limits before you fill it. We also do septic pumping; a residential tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years by size and household. See how often to pump and the warning signs. Restaurants use our grease trap pumping, which is due when grease reaches 25 percent of liquid depth. Add temporary fence, a light tower, or a storage container and one call covers the jobsite. The construction dumpster page ties it together.
Do you cover events and the nearby towns?
Yes to both. Redwood City weddings, festivals, and races all book through us. We handle wedding restrooms, festival restrooms, concert restrooms, and marathon and race restrooms. Golf outings use our golf tournament restrooms, and county events use county fair restrooms. Film crews rent through the film set restroom page. Beyond Redwood City we serve San Carlos 6.4 miles west, Menlo Park 6.0 miles southeast, and Newark 15.7 miles east. Farm and ranch clients read agricultural restrooms, and after a storm the disaster relief line stays open.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to place a porta potty in Redwood City?
On your own property, usually not. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the City of Redwood City before we deliver, and we cannot name the rule for you. The permit requirements page covers what to ask. Dumpsters have their own permit page.
How much does a standard porta potty rental cost per day?
A standard unit runs 100 to 350 dollars a day in Redwood City, with 150 dollars typical. Delivery is separate, usually 100 to 150 dollars for a single drop. Longer rentals lower the per-day figure. The per-day cost page has the full breakdown by duration.
How often do you service the unit?
Once a week is the baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Heavier use gets more frequent visits. We pump the 60 to 70 gallon tank, restock paper, and deodorize each time. The cleaning schedule page explains the intervals.
Can you deliver same day?
Often, yes, if you call early. Most Redwood City orders land within 24 hours regardless. For a burst pipe or a failed inspection, the emergency rental line moves faster. Give us the drop location and access details up front so the truck can place it clean on arrival.
What makes an ADA unit different?
Room and reach. An ADA unit meets ADA Standards section 404.2.3 with a 32 inch clear door and section 304.3.1 with a 60 inch turning circle. Floors are stable and slip resistant per section 302.1. See the ADA restroom requirements page for the full spec.
When should I book a restroom trailer instead?
When the crowd or the event is too large for single units, or guests expect running water and real stalls. Weddings and multi-day events are the usual case. Compare a 4 stall trailer against a luxury trailer, and check the trailer cost page first.
How far do you deliver from Redwood City?
We run daily routes to San Carlos 6.4 miles west, Menlo Park 6.0 miles southeast, Foster City 10.6 miles northwest, Palo Alto 12.4 miles southeast, and Newark 15.7 miles east. The service areas page lists every town, or contact us to confirm your address.
