How we got started
We opened because job sites in Encinitas needed someone who showed up on time and kept the equipment clean between visits. Most portable toilet companies treat rentals like a commodity. We treat them like a commitment to the crew that depends on the unit working every single day. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and stands about 92 inches tall, which means it fits tight job sites without blocking access roads. We service on a baseline schedule, once per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week per the industry standard ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, but we'll adjust for your actual site needs.
We expanded into septic pumping and grease trap service because Encinitas has older neighborhoods where tanks fail without warning. Residential septic tanks get pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on tank size and household size. A grease interceptor fills up faster than most people expect, especially in restaurants and food trucks. We pump when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth.
What we rent
Standard porta potties are our core rental, but Encinitas job sites vary wildly. A hillside renovation needs something different than a parking lot during construction. We stock deluxe flushable units with handwashing built in, and ADA accessible toilets that meet ADA Standards section 213.2 so that at least 5 percent of clustered units, never fewer than one, are accessible. Construction crews often need restroom trailers when a project runs six months or longer. Those sit on the site like a temporary building. We also rent roll-off dumpsters, storage containers, temporary fencing and handwashing stations.
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer; one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up; one toilet seat and one urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. We'll help you count your crew and pick the right number of units. If your crew applies paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires dedicated washing facilities with soap and towels, not hand sanitizer. We supply those.
Why Encinitas calls us
A roll-off dumpster delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck. Our drivers know Encinitas streets and can spot a tight alley before they get stuck. We've delivered to job sites 5.7 miles south in Solana Beach and 7.6 miles northeast in Lake San Marcos, so we understand the whole North County footprint. When you call with a placement question, you talk to someone who's actually driven the route.
Equipment failure on a Friday afternoon stops work. We answer the phone on evenings and weekends for emergency requests. We keep backup units fueled and ready. If your holding tank or grease interceptor backs up, emergency septic service gets a crew out the same day.
Frequently asked questions
How many units do I need?
Start with OSHA 1926.51(c)(1). A 20 person crew needs one toilet. A 40 person crew needs one toilet and one urinal. A 100 person crew needs two toilets and two urinals. If your job runs in heat, add one. Events are different, a festival needs more units than a same-size construction crew because everyone uses them in a short window. Read the full breakdown for your situation.
Can you deliver to a tight job site?
Yes, but we need to know the site layout before we book. A standard unit is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground. A roll-off needs 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck. Call with photos or a video walkthrough and we'll tell you if it fits.
Do you service on weekends?
We do. Call to schedule weekend service and we'll confirm availability. Encinitas construction sites often run Saturday morning, and events don't wait for Monday.
What's the difference between standard and deluxe?
Deluxe units have an internal flush, running water and a handwashing sink. Standard units are dry toilets without plumbing. Deluxe costs more but they feel like a real bathroom and they're better for office trailers or long-term events.
How often do you clean the units?
The baseline is once per week per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. We pump and deodorize on schedule, and we do spot cleans between if you call. If your site has high use, ask about twice-weekly service when you request a quote.
