Porta Potty Rental San Francisco

Renting a construction porta potty in San Francisco: 

When you are looking to rent a porta potty in San Francisco for the first time, it can be overwhelming knowing where to start. Luckily, Bay Area Sanitation has a few pointers to help you make an informed decision. First, you should decide what type of unit you would like to rent. If you navigate to our products page, you can see what is included with the different types of rental. Once you have decided on your unit style and are ready to move forward, you want to coordinate with your contractor on a delivery date. We can deliver the day prior to the start of work, so that the crew can make full use of your rental on their first day of work. 

Now that the schedule is done, the next priority is the placement. You should place your portable toilet rental within 25 feet of the street so it will be accessible to our crews for your regularly scheduled cleanings. If the placement spot is regularly blocked by cars, equipment or garbage cans, it may prevent us from cleaning the unit! It also must be placed as level as possible to prevent tips and spills, especially with the wind in San Francisco. We recommend talking with your contractor or to our delivery driver and they can provide assistance in finding the perfect location. 

What is included in a service?

All of our portable restroom rentals in San Francisco include a weekly cleaning. After the unit is delivered, you will be assigned a cleaning day based on the location and restrictions of your job. When the driver arrives for your service, he will use his vacuum truck to pump the waste tank empty. Any trash will also be removed from the unit. The high touch areas, toilet seat, urinal and floor will be sprayed with a hospital grade disinfectant and deodorizer. Our driver will restock the paper products included in your rental. This includes three rolls of two-ply recycled toilet paper, toilet seat covers and paper towels, if applicable. If you have a unit with an interior sink, the fresh water will also be recharged. 

 

Cleanliness and odor control are our top priority. Once the tank is ready for recharge, five to seven gallons of fresh water will be added to the tank, along with a deodorizing tablet. This environmentally friendly, non-toxic tablet turns the water a deep blue color and provides odor control. It also helps to break down the bacteria in the waste we collect so that it is easier for wastewater treatment plants to process. These tablets are high strength and are made to last a seven days in between each cleaning. Since we only use 5-7 gallons per service, our portable toilets help in the efforts to save water. The standard residential toilet uses 1.6 gallons of water per flush. One service can accommodate up to ten employees for a forty hour work week. 

Keeping your unit secure:

When dealing with porta potty rentals in San Francisco, it is important to keep them secure. When they are left open to the public, they can be subject to abuse, damage and destruction. Our units become the target of vandals and other individuals on the street because of their ease of access. Combination locks are an optional add-on to our rental package in order to deter additional unnecessary use. When there is a deterrent for the user, it makes them much less likely to vandalize the property. 

When you have a portable toilet rental in your possession, it becomes your responsibility. Often, we compare it to renting a vehicle for personal use. If the vehicle were to get damaged while it was under your possession, you would be responsible for that damage. The same is true for our porta potty rentals. In order to prevent unwanted charges, we offer a damage waiver as an additional service. This waiver covers damage to parts and graffiti removal, which helps to prevent a costly repair bill when you are finished with your rental. 

San Francisco Event Porta Potty Rentals

When planning and event in San Francisco, it can be different and more challenging than planning an event in any other city. If you are holding your event in Golden Gate Park, for example, vendors need to deliver and pick up on the day of your event. No overnight staging is allowed. It is important to check that you have the correct permit type for the event you will be having. The stress of having to receive tables, chairs, tents and more all on the morning of the event can be so stressful, that the portable toilets become an afterthought! Our support staff is able to recommend the type and number of units you will need for your event based on attendance and duration, so that you can focus on the more intricate details. 

Our rentals come in handy when your venue either doesn’t have restroom facilities on site, or doesn’t have the sufficient amount in order to support your size of event. The great thing about our units is that they are portable – it is in the name! We can place them away from food vendors, but close enough to your event so attendees don’t waste time walking back and forth. By supplying enough bathrooms, you can reduce the time your attendees wait in line and maximize their time enjoying the event. It may be an afterthought during the planning phase, but proper sanitation contributes to the success of every event!
