Where the unit goes
Sacramento units stand on private land, often in a driveway, lot or fenced yard. The truck needs firm access within hose reach.
A dumpster, storage pod or other unit in the street, sidewalk or public right-of-way needs a city permit. See permits.

FAQs
Common questions
Sacramento's most-asked questions, sorted from calls and order notes.
Do I need a permit for a porta potty?
Anything placed in a Sacramento street, sidewalk or other public right-of-way needs a City of Sacramento encroachment permit. The city's street use form covers dumpsters and storage pods, but it does not list portable toilets. Call City of Sacramento Development Engineering at (916) 808-8300 to confirm how they handle a portable toilet before you book a street spot.
How do I schedule a pickup?
Call (916) 264-9566 when you want the unit gone, and we schedule the pickup. Any miss on a pickup goes to the hauler within the business day.
How does billing work?
Sacramento rentals run in 28-day periods priced at the quote, for the life of the project. Net 30 terms are available for qualified contractor accounts. Sacramento quotes break out taxes and any extra service.
How fast can you deliver a porta potty?
Nearly two in three Sacramento-area orders last year, 63%, were delivered within a day of booking. Events on a set date need a few days of advance notice.
How far ahead should I book for an event?
Sacramento bookings are tight: half land a day or less ahead, and a quarter come three or more days out. For March, May or October weekends, or Juneteenth, book two weeks ahead.
Can I put a porta potty on my driveway?
Usually, yes. Sacramento homes often use the drive or a side yard. The truck must reach the unit from your own drive, so tell us about narrow access, slopes and sewer lines when you order.
How often do you service the units?
Sacramento units get a weekly round of pumping, cleaning and restocking. Sacramento crews on large jobs can add a second visit for a fee on the quote.
Do you service on weekends?
Yes, for an extra charge. Sacramento rentals take weekend visits too, priced on the quote.
Do porta potties work in winter?
Sacramento's freezes are brief, around 23 nights a year at or under 32 degrees. Tell us if a unit will sit out through a cold snap so we can plan the visits.
