Servicing the city of Los altos
Porta potty rentals in Los Altos are a common sight at both construction projects and events. Admittedly, it is not a product that is searched for or appreciated by many in their daily lives, however it is an essential service when it comes to sanitation and hygiene. Believe it or not, they help to save money in a lot of ways that may surprise you. While there is a rental cost associated with renting one and having it cleaned on a regular basis, there are a lot of savings that come along with that charge. Bay Area Sanitation is a local, family owned business that focuses on providing exceptional customer service in this niche industry.
How do porta potty rentals help save money?
Reduced Infrastructure Costs: Building permanent restrooms is an expensive endeavor and is not always feasible. Remote and temporary locations are perfect examples. If there is a hiking trail that is frequented on the weekends in a remote area, lack of restroom facilities will lead to unsanitary conditions. Running a water and sewer line will be a multi-million dollar endeavor. Instead, renting a portable restroom can let the location increase and decrease capacity as they see fit. If there are certain seasons where the location sees almost no use at all, it can be removed from the location until the next time that it is needed.
Increased Productivity: When you have readily accessible bathrooms for your everyday use, oftentimes you don’t realize how many times you use it per day. The realization only comes into play when you have to plan out your restroom usage. If you provide a porta john to your employees on a construction site, they spend more time on their tasks and less time looking for a bathroom to use. The traffic in Los Altos can cause delays returning to the job. Providing adequate facilities has been shown to improve worker satisfaction and reduce turnover. All of these benefits help to keep the project on time, which helps keep the customer happy.
Products: Our most popular product, the standard, is also our most economical option. It is our one-size fits all solution for those who don’t know exactly what they need. It pairs well with the hand wash station to give users a place to wash their hands. If you are going to get multiple units, we recommend a ratio of four standards to two hand wash stations.
In Los Altos, it is important to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. For this reason, we have Title 24 compliant ADA restrooms. The entrance is flush with the floor to allow wheelchair access and there are support handles around the entire border of the unit.
Environmental Benefits
Every flush with a traditional toilet uses about 1.6 gallons of water. Modern porta potties were designed to use a set amount of water, thus helping to conserve the resource. A normal service includes 5 gallons of water, which can withstand up to a week’s worth of use. Bay Area Sanitation uses eco-friendly paper products, such as recycled toilet paper, to be as environmentally friendly as possible. You can find a green seal on all of our paper products so that we can ensure that we are doing our part.
The nature of our industry is dirty and there are a lot of germs present. Cleanliness is our number one priority and we prioritize sanitizing safely. Our disinfectants are hospital grade, guaranteed to kill the germs responsible for COVID-19. With that in mind, they are also non-toxic and environmentally friendly. Our deodorizers do not use environmentally harmful chemicals, such as formaldehyde.
how much does it cost to rent a porta potty in Los altos?
The cost to rent a porta potty can vary depending on duration of the rental and type of unit. You can expect to pay between $199 – $350 for your rental. Event units are normally priced out on a short term basis, up to a week. Bay Area Sanitation does not deliver on the weekends, so event units are delivered the Friday before the event and picked up the following Monday. If you are not sure how many you will need, call use for a free consultation! We can help you come to a decision based on your guest count and event duration. If alcohol will be served, that also is a factor.
When getting quotes, it is important to confirm that the quote you receive is inclusive of all fees. Usually, you can expect a delivery fee to be charged to bring the unit out to your location. Sometimes, this is a flat rate or it can vary based on mileage from the depot yard. Our delivery fee also includes the pick up so you don’t have to worry about additional charges upon completion of your project. Other fees to look out for include energy fees, fuel fees, and environmental fees. The quotes given by our staff are inclusive of all charges to give you a final, transparent price.
