Find Sustainable Porta Potty
in Chico
At Prime Dumpster, we provide porta potty rentals across Chico, California, and the almond and walnut country of the northern Sacramento Valley around it. Orchard crews and harvest work, housing and infill construction, foothill rebuilding, university move-in weekends, farmers market and plaza events, and race and festival days in Bidwell Park all keep units busy here.
Four things move your quote: the model you pick, the number of units, how long they stay, and how often a truck returns. Below you will find the ranges, the counts California enforces on a job site, the City approvals that come into play, and how quickly delivery can be scheduled.
Short bookings are written as three-day holds here, so a Saturday race in the park and a Friday-through-Sunday festival usually price the same. Anything longer runs on four-week cycles with a cleaning trip built in.
California is the reason a Chico order often has two line items rather than one. The state counts toilets per 20 workers of each sex and washing stations per 20 workers separately, so a mixed crew needs both, and the washing station is a cost you can plan for rather than be surprised by.
Valley heat does the rest of the work on your servicing budget. Chico runs well past 100 degrees for weeks at a stretch, and an extra service visit in July does far more for a crew or a crowd than an extra unit would. We would rather schedule that in at the start than hear about it later.
Access is the local wrinkle. A pad on a subdivision or an infill lot downtown is quick. An orchard row, a foothill rebuild on a narrow lane, or a spot deep in a park takes the driver longer to reach and to service.

Request a Quote NowCalifornia writes its own numbers and they are tighter than the federal ones, so start from the rule rather than a rule of thumb.
Our porta potty calculator gives you a first number, and your account manager will square it with the Cal/OSHA counts and your site.
Seven models cover nearly every job in Butte County. Our porta potty options page shows them together.
The Standard Porta Potty is a single stall with a toilet, urinal, paper holder and sanitizer, and it covers harvest crews, framing work and backyard projects.
The ADA-Compliant Porta Potty gives up footprint for a level entry, grab bars and wheelchair turning space. Bring one to anything the public attends.
The Deluxe Flushing Porta Potty flushes and vents much better, which matters at an orchard wedding or a graduation party.
The Deluxe Porta Potty with Sink holds the basin, soap and mirror inside the stall, so guests wash up without crossing a lawn in the heat.
The Solar Porta Potty powers its own light and fan, which is the sensible pick on an orchard block, a pump station or a foothill lot with no service yet.
The Handwashing Station is a stand-alone sink with fresh water, soap and towels. California makes it a required line item on a job site and the food rules make it essential near a booth.
The Restroom Trailer brings several stalls, real plumbing and air conditioning, and through a Chico August the air conditioning alone justifies it.
Almost every order ends up as a mix. Walk the day through with your account manager and they will size it.
A unit on private property, your yard, a fenced site, an orchard or a business lot, needs no City permit in Chico. Public ground and public events are where the paperwork starts.
Streets, sidewalks and the public right of way: Chico handles these through an encroachment permit, applied for in the City's online permit portal. The part that catches people out is what has to be uploaded with the application: an erosion and sediment control plan, a site plan and a traffic control plan. A traffic control plan for one restroom unit in a parking lane is more work than most customers expect, which is why keeping the unit on private ground is usually the better answer. Public Works Engineering answers on 530-879-6700, and the office is at 411 Main Street.
City parks: reservations for 150 guests or fewer go through the City's online booking system. At 151 or more guests you contact the Park Division for an application with the current fees, and no reservation is valid until the Park Division approves it. The reservable areas include City Plaza downtown and the One Mile and Five Mile areas, Cedar Grove, Caper Acres and Depot Park in Bidwell Park. The Park Division is at 965 Fir Street on 530-896-7800.
The 150-guest line is worth knowing because it is also roughly where a one-unit-per-50-guests plan passes three units. The City requires special events insurance for all street closure permits and for any park permit with expected attendance of 150 or more, for anything it treats as a special event such as a benefit walk or run, and for any event it judges to carry risk.
Recreation programs in Chico run through a separate recreation district rather than the City, so check which body owns the ground your event sits on before you plan placement.
No City restroom count: Chico publishes no event unit ratio, accessible percentage or handwashing figure. We size the order with you against the state rules, and your account manager flags whatever a reviewer is likely to ask.
Not sure which counter covers your spot? Your account manager will point you to it before the truck is loaded.
Start with level, firm ground. Valley soils crack in summer and soften with the first real rain, and a unit that settles unevenly is unpleasant and slow to service.
Give the driver a straight approach and clearance above. Orchard rows, low-limbed valley oaks downtown and narrow foothill lanes are the three things worth mentioning in advance. On a job site, keep the walk from the work under 200 feet.
Hold units clear of food service and drinking water, and keep them back from irrigation ditches, creeks and storm inlets. At a food event the state requirement runs the other way around, with toilets and handwashing needed within 200 feet of each temporary food facility, so map both at once.
Weekly cleaning is the standard. Each visit pumps the tank, scrubs and disinfects the interior and restocks paper and sanitizer. A Chico summer, a big harvest crew or a guest-facing weekend usually earns a second visit, and multi-day events are better served at the close of each day.
The contents leave by tanker and go to a plant equipped to accept them, never to the ground or a ditch. Your account manager sets service days that fit your schedule and keeps the disposal side on our ledger rather than yours.

Most Chico orders are delivered inside 24 to 48 hours. Three to five days of notice makes a job site easy. For a spring race, a summer wedding or a harvest-season event, allow several weeks, because the valley's event calendar bunches up with the weather.
Five habits that keep a delivery clean:
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges porta potty delivery throughout Chico and the northern valley around it, and the nearest service towns are Oroville at 22 road miles, Yuba City at 49 and Olivehurst at 54. Those three are the only porta potty markets of ours inside an hour's drive, because this end of the Sacramento Valley is thinly served compared with the rest of California, so the list is short rather than padded out to Redding or the Sacramento suburbs. Whether your site is an orchard south of town, a rebuild in the foothills or an event in City Plaza, we plan delivery, cleaning and collection around your dates.
Standard units in Chico average $199 to $349 and accessible units $200 to $300. Deluxe models run $300 to $400, and a restroom trailer starts at $1,500. Those figures assume a three-day hold. Unit count, rental length and cleaning frequency decide the rest, confirmed by your account manager on a free quote.
Start at one unit per 50 guests over roughly four hours, then add 15 to 20 percent if alcohol is served. A 150-guest park event lands near three or four units, which is also the point where the City's own paperwork steps up. Food vendors add toilets and sinks near each booth.
California is stricter than the federal rule. Cal/OSHA requires one separate toilet facility for each 20 employees, or fraction of 20, of each sex, plus one washing station per 20. A crew of fewer than five can share a single all-gender unit. Give your account manager the crew mix, not just a total.
Weekly service comes standard. The visit pumps the tank, washes and disinfects the interior and replaces paper and sanitizer. Chico's long hot spells, big crews and guest-facing events often call for a second visit, and multi-day events are best serviced at the end of each operating day.
Generally no. A unit in your own yard, orchard or fenced job site in Chico needs no City permit. Approval becomes an issue once the unit sits in a street, on a sidewalk, in the public right of way or in a city park, and whenever it belongs to a permitted public event.
A standard unit is a narrow single stall holding a toilet, a urinal and sanitizer. An accessible unit is wider, with a level entry, grab bars and turning space for a wheelchair. At public events roughly one in every 20 should be accessible, and no group of units should be without one.
A weekend books as three days, so Friday to Sunday prices close to a single Saturday. Standard units average $199 to $349, deluxe flushing units $300 to $400, and a handwashing station $150 to $250. Your account manager confirms the delivery and collection windows when you book.
Tell us about your event or project and your zip code. One call usually settles the count, the sink, and the placement.
