How many portable toilets do I need?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up to 200, and 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more on construction sites. For event restroom rental in Santa Monica, count staff plus guests and add one unit for every 50 to 75 people. A standard porta potty holds 60 to 70 gallons and gets serviced once per week under normal use. You can also calculate backwards from your event length: a two-day festival needs more units than a four-hour golf tournament. Call us with your headcount and we'll size the order.
What does a week or month cost?
Weekly rental runs 130 to 500 dollars depending on unit type and how often you need service. Monthly rental for a standard unit ranges from 125 to 325 dollars. Porta potty rental cost varies by how many units you rent and whether you need delivery and weekend service. Delivery itself costs 50 to 150 dollars per week. Restroom trailers cost more: weekly rates run 150 to 1,650 dollars. Roll-off dumpster rental starts around 426 to 778 dollars per week. We can email a quote in Santa Monica within an hour. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city, so check local rules before you order.
How often do we clean the units?
Service frequency depends on your site. One service visit per week is the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40-hour week, per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. Construction sites with 50 workers need twice-weekly pickup. Event restroom rental at festivals or races in Santa Monica might call for daily service or even attendants on-site. You set the schedule when you book. We handle the pumping, restocking toilet paper and hand soap, and sanitizing. For handwashing station rental, 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand drying device, hand sanitizer alone doesn't meet code. Ask about our service tiers when you call.
Can you deliver to my Santa Monica job site same-day?
Yes. We deliver within Santa Monica and nearby areas like Culver City (7.5 miles east) and Beverly Hills (9.1 miles northeast). Same-day delivery is available for most requests if you call before noon. Emergency service carries a higher fee. For large orders like construction dumpster rental, we need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck. Narrow alleys or tight parking lots sometimes mean a delayed delivery or a manual drop. Call and describe your site and we'll confirm whether same-day works.
Do ADA units need special placement?
Yes. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires 5 percent of single-user units to be accessible, with a minimum of one. ADA Standards section 304.3.1 requires a 60-inch diameter turning circle and ADA Standards sections 403.5.1 and 404.2.3 set the minimum clear widths at 36 inches for the route and 32 inches for the door. An ADA accessible porta potty costs around 120 to 240 dollars per week. We can place accessible units near your main entrance or break area in Santa Monica. Check with your site manager on the best spot. We also rent storage container rental and temporary fencing, both have accessibility rules too.
How do I know when my septic tank needs pumping?
A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. Signs of trouble include slow drains, backups, wet spots in the yard or odor. Don't wait for failure. Call us for septic pumping service in Santa Monica before you have an emergency.
What goes in the dumpster?
Drywall, concrete, wood, cardboard, metal and yard debris all go in. No hazardous waste, asbestos, paint, tires or refrigerants. We'll go over the full list when you rent. See what cannot go in a dumpster for details.
Can I rent a restroom trailer for a wedding?
Absolutely. Wedding restroom rental trailers come in 2-stall, 4-stall and 8-stall sizes. They're flushable, climate-controlled and look far nicer than a standard unit. Book early in Santa Monica, especially for warm-weather events.
How much does temporary fencing cost?
Temporary fence rental runs around 30 to 75 dollars per day for chain-link panels. We deliver, install and pick up. Quote is free, call or email.
