Construction Porta Potty Rentals in East Palo Alto
East Palo Alto is building. There’s new housing and commercial development around the Ravenswood and 4 Corners area, plus lots of homeowners adding ADUs, remodeling or rebuilding. Every crew needs a restroom on site, and Cal/OSHA requires it.
What you get with a construction rental:
- Weekly service included. We pump, clean and restock each unit once a week. If you have a big crew, we can add service days.
- One price for up to 28 days. Our listed prices cover a rental of up to 28 days.
- Placement that fits the lot. Many East Palo Alto lots are tight, so tell us where the unit should go. We’ll set it on level ground where our service truck can reach it.
- Hand washing and fencing. Add a hand wash station or temporary fence panels for site security, and we’ll deliver them together.
Our OSHA porta potty requirements guide explains how many units a crew needs, or just call and we’ll figure it out with you. More on our construction porta potty rentals page.

East Palo Alto Permits and Placement
If the unit sits on private property, like a driveway, backyard or inside a job site, you generally don’t need a city permit for it. If it has to go in the street, on the sidewalk or in the shoulder, that’s the public right-of-way, and East Palo Alto requires an encroachment permit from Public Works Engineering. The city notes that some streets lack sidewalks or curbs, which can make the property line hard to spot. If you’re not sure where your property ends, check with the city before you book.
