At Prime Dumpster, we provide porta potty rentals across Richmond, California, and the rest of west Contra Costa County. Construction along the shoreline and the Hilltop corridor, port and industrial work, neighborhood block parties, greenway cleanups, and waterfront events all put portable toilets to work here most weeks of the year.
Four things drive your cost: the unit types you choose, how many you need, how long they stay, and how often a driver comes to service them. Below you'll find local ranges, the counts to plan around, the City and County steps to clear, and what it takes to get units on site quickly.
Each of those ranges is based on a standard three-day rental. A one-day block party and a full weekend usually price the same, so there is no savings in cutting the rental short.
Longer jobs move to a monthly rhythm. Construction orders in Richmond typically bill in four-week cycles with a weekly cleaning included, and the weekly cost drops the longer the units stay.
Access is the local wild card. A unit dropped on a paved lot near San Pablo Avenue is fast. A unit at the end of a pier, inside a secured industrial yard, or out along the Bay Trail takes more time to reach and service, and the quote reflects that.
Everything you add on top rounds out the number: deluxe units for guests, sinks near food, accessible units for a public crowd, and extra cleanings for a busy weekend. Your account manager can price a couple of versions side by side.

Richmond's own event form is a good reality check. It asks you to name the portable toilet company, list delivery and removal dates, and attach the contract, so the City expects real numbers rather than an estimate.
Our porta potty calculator gets you a starting count. Your account manager will then match it to the Cal/OSHA rule or your guest list.
The right unit depends on who uses it and for how long. All seven are laid out on our porta potty options page.
The Standard Porta Potty does the daily work. It holds a toilet, a urinal, a paper holder, and hand sanitizer, and fits crews, home projects, and small gatherings.
The ADA-Compliant Porta Potty offers a flat entry, a wide door, grab bars, and turning space for a wheelchair. Bring at least one whenever the public is invited.
The Deluxe Flushing Porta Potty adds a flush and better odor control, a step up that guests notice at weddings and quinceañeras.
The Deluxe Porta Potty with Sink builds a sink, soap, and a mirror into the unit, useful at family events and near a food line.
The Solar Porta Potty runs its light and fan from a solar panel, which suits shoreline work, a park project, or an evening event with no power.
The Handwashing Station is a stand-alone sink with clean water, soap, and towels. Put one at every food area and at busy job sites.
The Restroom Trailer offers several stalls, running water, and climate control, a strong fit for weddings, corporate days, and long-running sites.
Describe the job to your account manager and they'll assemble the mix for you.
A unit sitting on your own driveway, yard, or fenced job site needs no City permit. It's public ground and public gatherings that come with paperwork.
Events: Richmond treats festivals, weddings, concerts, parades, block parties, and other announced public gatherings on public property as special events. The application goes to the Community Services office on Macdonald Avenue, and a road closure form, a sound permit, a parking removal form, or a County food permit may come with it.
Timing and sanitation: The special event application is due at least 30 days before your date, and a late one can be turned down or cost more. It asks in plain terms whether portable toilets and handwashing units will be there, wants the rental company name with delivery and removal dates, and asks you to attach the contract. A liability certificate naming the City is required as well.
Streets and sidewalks: Any work in the public right-of-way, which runs property line to property line across the street and sidewalk, needs an encroachment permit from the Engineering Division. A $604 fee is collected when you apply, covering up to two hours of field inspection, and the office number is 510-307-8091.
State highways: Work inside a state highway right-of-way needs a Caltrans encroachment permit, and Caltrans treats a street festival or community activity as an encroachment in its own right.
Food vendors: Contra Costa County wants the community event application and fees at least two weeks before the date, filed by the event coordinator for every booth at once, with late fees inside that window.
Not sure who controls your spot? Your account manager can find the right office before the truck is scheduled.
Placement decides how smoothly the rest of the rental goes.
Pick firm, level ground. Bay fill and old industrial ground settle unevenly, and soft shoulders give way after winter rain. Leave the driver a clear path wide enough for a service truck, with no low branches, parked cars, or locked gates in the way.
Keep at least 15 feet between units and any food area, and stay clear of storm drains, creeks, and the shoreline itself, since runoff here goes straight to the Bay. On a job site, keep units within about 200 feet of the work.
A standard rental includes one visit a week to pump, clean, and restock. Big crews, hot spells, and multi-day events usually call for a second stop.
Where the waste ends up depends on which part of town you're in, because Richmond is served by three different sewer systems. The City's own plant on Canal Boulevard handles much of the city, the West County Wastewater District plant takes flows from the northern half, and the southern Annex drains to the regional plant near the Bay Bridge. Your account manager can confirm your service days and the disposal arrangement for your order.

Most Richmond orders arrive within 24 to 48 hours. Three to five days of notice lets us line up unit types, service days, and a drop point that works. Summer festival weekends and holiday dates book out early, so reserve those units as soon as your date is set.
These five steps keep delivery simple:
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster delivers across Richmond, from Point Richmond and Marina Bay to Iron Triangle, Richmond Annex, Hilltop, and North Richmond. We also cover San Pablo, El Cerrito, El Sobrante, Kensington, Pinole, Hercules, Albany, and the job sites along the I-80 and I-580 corridors, so a waterfront project and a hillside remodel get the same delivery and service schedule.
Standard units here average $199–$349, and accessible units average $200–$300. Deluxe models run $300–$400, and restroom trailers start at $1,500. Your number depends on how many units you order, how long you keep them, and the cleaning schedule. Your account manager confirms it on a free quote call.
Use 1 unit for every 50 guests at a four-hour event, plus 15 to 20 percent more when alcohol is served. A 100-guest block party generally needs two units and a handwashing station. Add at least one accessible unit if the public is invited, and more for an all-day event.
California sets a stricter count than the federal rule. Cal/OSHA asks for one separate toilet for every 20 workers, or any part of 20, of each sex, and crews under five may share one all-gender unit. Give your account manager the crew makeup, not just a headcount, so the order lines up with the rule.
Weekly service is standard. The driver pumps the tank, cleans and sanitizes the interior, and restocks paper and sanitizer. Larger crews, warm weather, and events running several days usually need two or more visits. Your account manager can build the schedule around your busiest days.
No. A unit on your own driveway, yard, or fenced work site in Richmond needs no City permit. Approval is required once it sits in a street, on a sidewalk, in a City park, or as part of a public event. Your account manager can help you reach the right office first.
A standard unit is one compact stall. An accessible unit is wider, with a flat threshold, a door that opens clear, grab bars, and floor space for a wheelchair to turn. Public events should carry at least one for every 20 units. Units used only by a construction crew are exempt from that rule.
Weekend pricing runs on the standard three-day window, so Friday through Sunday usually costs about what a single Saturday would. Standard units average $199–$349, deluxe flushing units average $300–$400, and handwashing stations average $150–$250. Your account manager confirms delivery and pickup with your quote.
Tell us about your event or project and your zip code. We'll size the order, set service days that fit your site, and give you a clear price on the call.
