Portable restrooms near me — Bay Area, priced by ZIP

What "near me" means from Hayward

Every truck we run starts the day at our yard in Hayward, in Alameda County, and the price you see depends on one number: how far your ZIP is from that yard. Within 25 miles, delivery, pickup and the service visit are included in the published price. Beyond 25 miles we add $3.50 per mile each way, but only on the miles past 25, and the calculator above shows the figure before you pay.

That 25-mile circle covers most of the East Bay, the Peninsula and northern Santa Clara County. The table shows 12 of the 30 cities we serve, with the drive from the yard and what it does to the price; the locations index has all 30, and the city chips above this article jump straight to each page.

Napa (50 miles) and Santa Rosa (75 miles) are priced the same way, at about $88 and $175 each way. For a 28-day rental the per-mile charge is paid once on delivery and once on pickup; the weekly service visits inside the rental are included at any distance.

Prices near you

Whether you searched for a porta potty, a portable toilet or a portable bathroom, the price is the same in every ZIP inside the 25-mile zone, whether the unit goes to a backyard in Castro Valley or a high-rise site in downtown Oakland. Construction rentals run on a 28-day cycle with one service visit per week; event rentals cover up to 3 days with delivery, pickup and a full stock of paper and sanitizer.

A handwash station is $129 per month or $99 per event, a women's designated unit $199 per month, and the Cal/OSHA compliance pack (standard, women's and handwash) $479 per month. Luxury restroom trailers start at $2,495 per weekend; the restroom trailers hub compares all five. Every add-on, from the $750 generator to the $45-per-hour attendant, is listed on the pricing page.

For scale, Bay Area market rates for a standard construction unit run $150 to $230 per month before delivery and fuel fees are added. Our $189 is the number on the invoice.

Same-week delivery

Trucks leave Hayward every morning, Monday to Saturday, and work 6 AM to 6 PM. The cutoff that matters is 2 PM: order by 2 PM and we deliver the next business day for a $95 next-day fee; choose any later date and standard delivery costs nothing extra. Off-hours drops before 6 AM, after 6 PM or on a weekend are a flat $150.

Three things make a near-term delivery go smoothly:

1. A pin, not just an address. A dropped pin on the exact spot, plus a photo of the approach, saves a second trip. Standard units need a 4-foot-wide path; a trailer needs a straight approach of about 40 feet.
2. A flat, firm surface. Asphalt, concrete, compacted gravel or dry lawn. On slopes we level with blocks, but a unit on a 10% grade needs a different spot.
3. Right-of-way permission. On a sidewalk, parking lane or street, the city's permit comes first: San Francisco's Street Space permit through Public Works, Oakland's Obstruction Permit with No Parking signs posted 72 hours ahead, San Jose's encroachment permit. Private property needs nothing.

Delivery and every service visit are photographed, GPS-stamped and timestamped, and the receipt is texted to you the same minute. If you manage sites in three cities, you see three photos a week, not three invoices to argue about. The instant price tool locks the date when you book.

Cheapest way to rent

"Cheapest porta potty rental near me" is a real search, so here is the honest version of the answer, in order of impact.

• Rent monthly for anything over 3 days. The event rate of $195 covers up to 3 days. A week-long rental at that rate would cost more than the full 28-day construction rate of $189, which also includes a weekly cleaning. For a 10-day project, book the month.
• Stay inside the 25-mile zone if you have a choice of sites. A staging yard in Union City (8 miles) pays nothing for delivery; the same unit in Concord (33 miles) adds about $28 each way.
• Use the compliance pack on job sites. Cal/OSHA 8 CCR §1526 and §1527 require 1 toilet and 1 handwash station per 20 workers, and crews of 5 or more should plan on a designated women's unit under AB 521. Bought separately that is $517 per month; the compliance pack is $479 and saves $38. The sizing calculator applies the rule to any headcount, and the Cal/OSHA text is at dir.ca.gov.
• Order 2 days ahead. The $95 next-day fee is the most common avoidable charge on our invoices.
• Skip what you do not need. The 8% damage waiver is optional. A second weekly service at $45 per unit is worth it above 10 workers per unit; below that, the included weekly visit is enough.
• Count ADA correctly. Public events need 5% accessible units, minimum 1. One ADA unit at $325 in a cluster of 4 meets the rule; you do not need two until the cluster passes 20 units.

All 30 cities

We serve all 8 Bay Area counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, San Mateo, San Francisco, Marin, Napa and Sonoma. Each of the 30 city pages linked above carries the same price table plus the local specifics: neighborhoods with truck-access issues, the permit office for the public right-of-way, the venues and project types we see there, and the receiving facility where the waste goes, such as EBMUD Resource Recovery in Oakland for East Bay rentals.

If your ZIP is in one of the 8 counties but your town is not on the list, the calculator still prices it by distance, and the events and construction pages explain what changes by use. We plan to expand beyond the Bay Area; for now, the 25-mile rule from Hayward is the whole pricing model, and that is on purpose.
