How much does porta potty rental cost in Mountain View?
Price depends on the unit and how long you keep it. A basic portable toilet runs one way, a deluxe flushable unit runs higher, and a restroom trailer is a different tier entirely. See the full rental cost breakdown or check the per-day rate for short jobs.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $150 | $200 | $200 |
| Deluxe flushable | $250 | $290 | - |
| ADA accessible | $200 | $240 | - |
A weekend standard unit runs about $250. Delivery is billed separately. For a stay past 30 days, the monthly rental is the cheaper path per day. Want the math for your headcount? Read how many you need.
What kinds of porta potties can I rent?
Plenty. The standard porta john is the workhorse, with a 60 to 70 gallon tank and a footprint of about 44 by 48 inches. It stands roughly 92 inches tall. If you want a nicer setup, the deluxe flushable unit adds a flush and a sink. For fancy events, a luxury restroom trailer or a 2 stall trailer reads more like an indoor bathroom. Bigger crowds go to a 4 stall or 8 stall trailer. We also stock ADA accessible units, which need a 60 inch turning circle per ADA Standards section 304.3.1 and a 32 inch clear door under section 404.2.3. Add a handwashing station or a portable sink to any order. Building crews often pair units with a construction site package.
Do construction sites need a certain number of toilets?
Yes, and OSHA sets it. Under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1), a site with 20 workers or fewer needs one toilet facility. From 20 up, you add a toilet seat and a urinal per 40 workers, and at 200 or more it shifts to one per 50. Our OSHA requirements guide walks through the whole table. Crews applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides also need washing facilities under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1), and those must carry soap and towels per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2). Hand sanitizer alone doesn't count. See what the rule wants on our handwashing requirements page. A construction dumpster and a storage container round out most job sites. Barricades keep the placement safe per OSHA 1926.202. For fencing, we rent temporary chain link.
Where can I put a porta potty in Mountain View?
On your own property, almost anywhere flat and reachable. The ground surface should be stable, firm and slip resistant, which ADA Standards section 302.1 spells out for accessible units. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the City of Mountain View first; we name no rule here because that one is not verified. Read our placement guide and the permit requirements page before delivery day. We serve Mountain View plus Martinez 1.3 miles south, Vine Hill 1.9 miles east, and Pleasant Hill 7.1 miles southeast. Benicia sits 7.2 miles northwest and Lafayette 13.5 miles south. Check the full service areas map. If you're just outside town, we also cover Martinez and Pleasant Hill. A roll-off dumpster needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so plan the driveway.
Why rent from Mountain View Porta Pros?
We do site services, not just toilets. Same crew handles septic pumping, roll-off dumpsters, storage containers, restroom trailers and temporary fence. One call books it all. A residential septic tank gets pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on tank and household size, and a grease interceptor gets pumped when grease and solids hit 25 percent of liquid depth. We handle both, plus emergency septic service. Mountain View events lean on us for weddings, festivals and concerts. Need a unit fast? Our emergency porta potty rental moves quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often are porta potties cleaned?
Once a week is the baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, sized for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Heavy traffic needs more visits. We pump the tank, restock paper and sanitize. See how often units get cleaned and whether they smell.
Do porta potties work in winter?
Yes. The tank uses a deodorizer that keeps working in the cold, and the unit doesn't rely on plumbing. Freezing can thicken the fluid, so we adjust the mix. Read porta potty in winter and how they work for the details.
How many toilets do I need for an event?
Depends on guest count and hours. A rough start is one unit per 100 guests for a few hours, more if alcohol is served. Our how many do I need page has the full chart, and the event restroom page covers upgrades.
Can I rent a fancy unit for a wedding?
Yes. A luxury restroom trailer gives flushing toilets, sinks and climate control, closer to an indoor bathroom. For smaller guest lists a deluxe flushable unit works well. Book early through request a quote since trailers move fast in peak season.
What size dumpster goes with a renovation?
For a home project, a 10 yard or 20 yard dumpster usually fits. Larger builds want a 30 yard. Check what cannot go in a dumpster and weight limits before you fill it.
