Porta potty rental in San Francisco County, CA

Delivery across San Francisco County

San Francisco is one city and one county, and the whole of it is 30 miles from our Hayward yard, 5 miles beyond the 25-mile included zone. The mileage charge is $3.50 per extra mile each way, about $18 per trip, charged once no matter how many units are on the truck.

The Bay Bridge carries our trucks and trailers; the only City constraint on an 8-ft-wide luxury trailer is the street it lands on, so send a photo of the drop spot for Telegraph Hill, Russian Hill, Bernal Heights or Twin Peaks addresses. Downtown loading zones fill by 7 AM, so we place early (6 to 7 AM) inside normal hours at no extra charge. Service runs are batched with Daly City and the Peninsula, so weekly service days stay consistent.

Order by 2 PM for guaranteed next-day delivery ($95). Off-hours placement before 6 AM, after 6 PM or on Sundays is $150; the Street Space permit may require it for certain blocks. See the full San Francisco city page for neighborhood-level detail.

County rules that apply

• Street Space permit. San Francisco Public Works' Bureau of Street-Use and Mapping issues the Street Space permit for portable toilets in the parking lane or on the sidewalk; equipment is limited to half the sidewalk width and one third of the roadway, with the application fee about $833 and temporary occupancy about $115 per day per block face (verify against the current fee schedule). Our Street Space permit guide walks through the application. No permit is needed on private property.
• Events with food. SFDPH's temporary and special event facilities rules require 1 toilet per 15 food employees within 200 feet of each booth, with handwashing cleanser and single-use towels at each toilet facility; site plans must mark restroom locations and dimensions for ADA review.
• Street closures and parks. Street events go through ISCOTT (the Interdepartmental Staff Committee on Traffic and Transportation); park events need a San Francisco Recreation and Park Department permit; Port property needs the Port's special-events approval; the Presidio is federal land under the Presidio Trust.
• Hauler registration and disposal. Pottyline is a registered chemical-toilet hauler under Health and Safety Code 117400. San Francisco loads go to the SFPUC Southeast Treatment Plant's trucked-waste program or to the EBMUD Resource Recovery facility in Oakland on the return leg; insurance certificates are available on request.

Construction in San Francisco County

Mission Bay and Central SoMa are still adding life-science buildings and housing; Treasure Island and the Hunters Point Shipyard are decades-long redevelopments with crews on site now; the Transbay district has tower and public-realm work; and the Sunset, Richmond and Excelsior are full of ADU, seismic retrofit and remodel jobs that need a single unit on a driveway. Add SFMTA, SFPUC and Public Works contracts on sewers, paving and Muni, and crews are working in every ZIP.

Cal/OSHA worked example for a 100-person crew (85 men, 15 women). 8 CCR 1526 requires 1 toilet per 20 employees of each sex: 5 for the men, 1 for the women. 1527 requires 1 handwash station per 20 workers: 5. AB 521 directs Cal/OSHA to require a designated single-user unit for workers who identify as female or nonbinary (verify current adoption status with the OSHSB).

Towers use the high-rise crane-lift unit at $329 per month, with a certified lifting frame and a 50-gal tank. Every service visit is photographed, GPS-stamped and texted; the PDF log is ready for Cal/OSHA or the City. Ratios are on the construction page and in the Cal/OSHA toilet guide.

Events in San Francisco County

San Francisco has no county fairgrounds; its big outdoor sites are parks and plazas. Golden Gate Park (Outside Lands in August, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in October, the Polo Field and Hellman Hollow), Civic Center Plaza, Dolores Park, Crissy Field and the Presidio's Main Parade Ground, the Embarcadero and Pier lots along the Port, and street fairs from Folsom Street to Fillmore are where the units go. Film and TV productions on City streets are permitted through FilmSF; see the film page.

Sizing: 1 unit per 50 guests for up to 4 hours, +20% with alcohol, 5% accessible (minimum 1) when the public is invited.

A Presidio or Golden Gate Park wedding of 150 guests fits a 2-stall luxury trailer at $2,495 Friday to Monday; the 8-stall ($4,695) covers a 600-guest corporate event at Pier 27. Trailers need a 120 V outlet within 100 ft or a 7 kW generator ($750) and a 20-ft flat pad. Sizing and placement are on the events page.

Why San Francisco crews and planners choose Pottyline

• Street Space know-how. We size the unit to the half-sidewalk rule (a 44-in standard unit fits where a 78-in ADA unit does not) and tell you when a parking-lane placement is the simpler permit.
• Mileage is $18 each way, once per trip, published before you book; not a per-unit "San Francisco delivery fee".
• Early placement at no extra cost (6 to 7 AM) so downtown loading zones are still open when the truck arrives.
• The correct Cal/OSHA ratio, 1 per 20 per sex, plus the crane-lift unit for Transbay and Mission Bay towers.
• Proof of service by text after every visit: photo, GPS, timestamp, exportable PDF for the GC, SFDPH or the Rec and Park permit file.
• Owner answers the phone in English, Spanish or Chinese; 2 PM cutoff for next-day delivery, Monday to Saturday.
