Where can I rent a porta potty in Davis?
Right here. Davis Porta Pros delivers into Davis and the towns around it, so you request a quote and we set a drop time. Our service area reaches University of California-Davis 2.9 miles southwest, El Macero 4.5 miles east, and Dixon 10.5 miles southwest. We also run out to Winters 14.8 miles west and Monument Hills 16.0 miles northwest. Not every porta potty rental company covers that spread. We do. If you need a unit downtown, placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the City of Davis first, and we will not name a rule we cannot verify. See the permit guide or reach us on the contact page. Compare us with other portable toilet rental companies and the delivery radius is where we win.
What does portable toilet rental cost in Davis?
Price depends on the unit and how long you keep it. A standard porta potty rental sits in the low hundreds per day. A deluxe flushable unit costs more, and a restroom trailer more again. Here is the short version.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 150 | 200 | 200 |
| ADA accessible | 230 | 185 | - |
| Deluxe flushable | 300 | 250 | - |
| Roll-off dumpster | 75 | 600 | 108 |
Delivery is billed on top and runs from 100 to 500 dollars depending on distance and access. A standard unit rented for a weekend event runs about 250 dollars. Longer terms lower the effective daily rate, so a monthly rental is the cheapest way to keep a unit on a long job. Full numbers live on the cost page, and every dumpster price is broken out separately too.
How fast can you deliver a porta potty?
Usually inside 24 hours, and same-day when the truck has room. Call early. A standard unit is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, so we need a spot that clears low branches and wires. Firm, level ground matters. ADA Standards section 302.1 calls for a stable, firm, slip-resistant surface, and that same rule keeps a unit from tipping. We confirm placement before the truck rolls, which is why the placement guide is worth a read. For storm cleanup or a burst line, our emergency porta potty service moves faster than a scheduled drop. Events on a deadline get the same priority. If you are staging a festival or a concert in Davis, book the event restroom package a week out so we can stage units the night before. A rental checklist helps you get the count and timing right the first time.
Which porta potty unit is right for you?
Four types cover almost every job. The standard portable toilet suits construction crews and general use, with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank that carries a full week between services under normal load. The deluxe flushable unit adds a foot pump and sink, which weddings and catered events want. The ADA accessible unit meets ADA Standards section 404.2.3 with a 32 inch clear door opening and the 60 inch turning circle from section 304.3.1. The restroom trailer is the step up, with running water and climate control for a wedding or a film set. Sizing a jobsite? OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets one toilet for up to 20 workers, then scales from there. Our how many do I need guide walks the math. A porta john is the same standard unit under a different name people search for.
How does service and cleaning work?
Every rental includes scheduled pumping and restock. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, and that is our default interval. A tech pumps the 60 to 70 gallon tank, refills paper, and sanitizes the interior. High-traffic events get more frequent visits. We track why porta potties smell and it almost always comes back to skipped service, so we do not skip. If you want the mechanics, the how porta potties work page explains the tank and deodorizer chemistry. Crews often ask how often units are cleaned on a long job, and the honest answer is weekly unless the load says otherwise. Pair a unit with a handwashing station and we service both on the same visit. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a dryer at wash stations, and hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy it.
Do you serve construction sites and events?
Both, every day. Construction site services in Davis run on OSHA math: 1926.51(c)(1) sets the toilet ratios, 1926.51(a)(1) requires potable water on site, and where crews apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, 1926.51(f)(1) triggers washing facilities. That last rule only applies to those contaminant jobs. Pair toilets with a roll-off dumpster and a storage container and you have the yard covered. Events lean the other way toward comfort. A marathon or race, a golf tournament, a county fair, or a farm gathering each need a different count and mix. We also fit home renovation and camping rentals. OSHA 1928.110 governs field sanitation in agriculture, one facility per 20 hand-labor workers within a quarter mile walk, which matters on the farms west toward Winters.
What else can Davis Porta Pros deliver?
More than toilets. We run septic pumping for tanks that need it, and a residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on tank and household size. Our septic cleaning and grease trap pumping keep restaurants clear, since a grease interceptor gets pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids hit 25 percent of liquid depth. Watch for warning signs and call our emergency septic line if the yard backs up. We also rent temporary fence with chain link panels and crowd control barriers, plus light towers and a temporary power pole for after-dark work. Need short-term storage? A 20ft container or 40ft container drops on site, and a mobile office trailer gives the crew a desk. A holding tank rental covers spots with no sewer.
Why rent from Davis Porta Pros?
Because we are single-city and we answer the phone. We know the Davis routes, the drive out to El Macero, and the run down to Dixon, so delivery windows hold. Every unit meets the codes that matter: ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster, and section 405.2 caps ramp slope at 1:12 for the accessible route. Read the OSHA toilet requirements and the ADA restroom requirements before you order and you will not get caught short at inspection. Winter jobs get cold-weather prep so the tanks do not freeze. Learn who we are on the about page, check the FAQ, or price a restroom trailer for a formal event. Compare our per-day rate against the other porta potty rental companies and the value is plain.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a standard porta potty rental?
A standard unit runs in the low hundreds for a single day, drops on the effective daily rate over a week, and is cheapest by the month. Delivery is separate. The full cost breakdown and every monthly figure sit on their own pages.
How many porta potties do I need for my event?
Count your guests and hours. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets one toilet for up to 20 workers as a jobsite floor, and events scale by headcount and event length. Our how many do I need guide does the math with you, and an event package bundles the right mix.
Do I need a permit to place a unit in Davis?
On private property, generally no. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the City of Davis first, and we will not cite a rule we have not verified. The permit requirements page covers what we know and points you to the right office.
How often do you service a rental?
Once a week by default, matching the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Busy events get more visits. We pump the tank, restock paper and sanitize. See how often units are cleaned for the detail.
Can you deliver same day?
Often, when the truck has room. Standard lead time is inside 24 hours. For storm damage or an urgent line failure our emergency rental jumps the queue. Call early and give us the address and access notes so we can confirm the placement.
What comes with a flushable deluxe unit?
A foot-pump flush, an interior sink and more space than a standard unit. Events that want comfort book the deluxe flushable model or step up to a 2 stall trailer. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels at any wash point, and we stock both.
Do you rent dumpsters and containers too?
Yes. Roll-off dumpsters in 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes, plus storage containers. A roll-off needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to drop clean. Check what cannot go in a dumpster before you load.
