At Prime Dumpster, we provide porta potty rentals across San Jose, California, and the south end of Santa Clara Valley. Data center and tenant improvement construction, housing projects near the Berryessa and Blossom Hill transit lines, water and street work along the creeks, downtown festival events, youth sports tournaments and orchard and ranch work in the hills all keep portable toilets busy here.
The number you pay comes from the unit types, the quantity, the rental length and the cleaning schedule. Below are our ranges, the counts California law requires on a job site, the City and County offices behind street and event placement, and the habits that get a delivery on site on time.
The ranges above are built on a standard three day rental. That is how a weekend booking is written, and it is why one day and three days usually land at a similar number.
California changes the shape of a job site order. State rules pair a washing station with your toilets, so most Silicon Valley contractors order sinks and stalls together rather than treating the sink as an extra.
Long jobs move to four week cycles with a cleaning visit each week. On a build that runs a year, the daily cost of a unit is small next to almost anything else on the schedule.
Then there is the site. A paved pad or a graded lot is quick to serve. A unit up a hillside driveway, inside a secured campus with badge-only gates, down a narrow street in Willow Glen, or out along a creek trail takes the driver longer, and that shows in the quote. Your account manager will walk the access with you first.

Request a Quote NowCalifornia writes real numbers for crews. Events are sized on judgment, so we bring our own.
Our porta potty calculator gives you a starting figure, and your account manager will square it with the state rules and your site plan.
Match the unit to the people who will use it. The whole range sits on our porta potty options page.
The Standard Porta Potty carries a toilet, urinal, paper holder and sanitizer, and it covers most work from framing crews to a backyard party.
The ADA-Compliant Porta Potty gives you a wide door, a step-free entry, grab bars and turning space. Any event open to the public should include one.
The Deluxe Flushing Porta Potty flushes and controls odor far better, which guests notice at a wedding or a company event.
The Deluxe Porta Potty with Sink has the sink, soap and mirror inside the stall, so guests do not queue twice.
The Solar Porta Potty runs its lighting and airflow from sunlight, handy on a hillside lot, a ranch site or an early morning shift with no power yet.
The Handwashing Station is a free-standing sink stocked with water, soap and paper towels. It is the unit California requires beside your toilets, and the one the County wants beside food.
The Restroom Trailer offers several stalls with running water and climate control, for a wedding, a corporate event or a site that will be busy for a year.
Describe the crew or the guest list to your account manager and they will put the mix together.
Nothing on private ground, including a fenced job site, needs a City permit. Once a unit touches the public right-of-way or sits inside a public event, approvals start.
Streets and sidewalks: The City issues encroachment permits to developers and residents for work in the San Jose right-of-way, and the construction category covers short-term items such as covered walkways and temporary lane closures. Expect to show a plan of the work and to pay fees and a security deposit. Public Works answers at 408-535-3555.
Downtown and street events: The Office of Cultural Affairs handles the special event permit for outdoor public property, which includes streets, plazas, paseos and the downtown parks. Applications go to that office by email.
Park events: Events in public parks outside downtown go through the Special Park Use Unit. A park event permit may be needed once your event has advertising, amplified sound, food or merchandise sales, extra setup such as stages, tents or tables, or needs services from other City or County departments. Get the inquiry form in 60 days ahead, and call 408-794-6500 if you have heard nothing after two weeks.
Food vendors: Santa Clara County issues the temporary events food facility permit, and the event coordinator files it along with every vendor's application, because the County will not take one straight from a vendor. The site plan has to show where the food booths, toilets and handwashing facilities and waste containers sit. Submit everything at least two weeks before the start date, or three weeks if you are paying by card.
If you cannot tell which office covers your spot, your account manager has the contacts and can get you pointed right before delivery is booked.
Give us firm, level ground with an open approach. A gravel or paved pad holds a loaded unit well. Adobe clay softens badly after winter rain, and a creekside spot can take on water fast when a storm rolls through the valley. Watch narrow streets, low branches and permit parking that would stop the truck from pulling in.
Keep units away from food service, drinking water and storm inlets. On a job site, put them close to the work and set the washing station beside the toilet so a worker can use both in one stop. At an event, spread them along the footprint and keep the accessible unit on a level, firm route.
A standard rental includes one cleaning visit a week, when the driver pumps the tank, washes and sanitizes the interior, and restocks paper and sanitizer. Downtown festivals, large crews and a hot September week are all good reasons to add visits.
Disposal here needs two permits, not one. San Jose runs a portable toilet and septic hauler program whose receiving station takes only domestic waste from sanitary uses, which is exactly what comes out of a portable unit. A hauler has to hold a current Santa Clara County Environmental Health pumper vehicle permit, granted after the truck passes inspection, plus the City's own Receiving Station Use Permit, which runs three years and has to be renewed a month before it lapses. The City's program line is 408-945-3000 and the County permit desk is 408-918-1961.
Your account manager can set the service days and confirm where your loads are taken.

Most San Jose orders are on site within 24 to 48 hours. Three to five days of notice lets us hold the units you asked for rather than the ones on the yard. For a downtown festival, a tournament weekend or a fall wedding, book several weeks ahead, and allow 60 days if your event is in a City park.
A few habits make delivery day easy:
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster delivers porta potties across every part of San Jose, from Blossom Valley, Almaden and Edenvale through Willow Glen, Downtown, Japantown and Alum Rock out to Berryessa, Evergreen, Alviso and North San Jose. We also serve the neighboring Santa Clara County communities, including Santa Clara, Campbell, Milpitas, Cupertino, Saratoga, Los Gatos, Sunnyvale, Morgan Hill and Gilroy, so a project just over a city line gets the same delivery window.
A standard unit averages $199–$349 and an accessible unit averages $200–$300. Deluxe units run $300–$400, a handwashing station is $150–$250, and restroom trailers start at $1,500. Those ranges assume a standard three day rental. California's required washing stations are quoted alongside, and your account manager confirms the total.
Start at 1 unit for every 50 guests over a four hour event, then add 15 to 20 percent more if alcohol is served. A 120 guest party works out at three units. Put a handwashing station by the food, and include at least one accessible unit whenever the public is invited.
California sets its own count. You need at least one separate toilet facility per 20 workers of each sex, with any part of 20 counting as 20, and toilets making up half or more of the total. Under five workers, one all-gender unit works. Add a washing station per 20 workers.
A weekly visit is standard. The driver pumps the tank, cleans and sanitizes the interior, and restocks paper and hand sanitizer. Public events, big crews and hot stretches usually justify more. Your account manager can lift the frequency for a busy period and then settle it back down.
No. A unit on your own yard, driveway or fenced job site in San Jose needs no City permit. Approval comes in once a unit sits in the public right-of-way or inside a permitted event, and a park event inquiry goes in 60 days ahead. Your account manager can check your address first.
A standard unit is a compact single stall. An accessible unit is wider, with a step-free entry, grab bars and floor space for a wheelchair to turn, and it carries the wheelchair symbol. Federal rules ask for at least 5 percent of each group to be accessible. Construction-only units are exempt from that.
A weekend is the standard three day rental our ranges are built on. A standard unit averages $199–$349, a deluxe flushing unit averages $300–$400, and a handwashing station is $150–$250. Friday delivery with Monday pickup normally fits inside it. Your account manager will confirm the window and the price.
Tell us about your event or project and your zip code. We'll size the order to the state rules, line up the cleaning visits, and give you a clear number on the call.
Your Prime Dumpster account manager handles the details, from unit count and service schedule to permit contacts and delivery timing, so you can focus on your event or project.
