Who We Are
Carlsbad Porta Pros started because construction managers and event planners in Carlsbad needed a rental company that showed up on time and kept the equipment clean. That's still what we do. We own every unit instead of brokering, so you get the same crew every service call and someone who actually knows your site. A standard porta potty holds 60 to 70 gallons and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, tight enough to fit most jobsites but sized for the crews we see. We service in Carlsbad, Lake San Marcos (6.4 miles east), Elfin Forest (9.2 miles southeast), Solana Beach (12.6 miles south), Rancho Santa Fe (12.8 miles southeast) and Harmony Grove (13.0 miles east). Call us and we'll confirm your address.
What We Rent
Portable toilets come in three levels. Standard units run 100 to 150 dollars per day. Deluxe flushable models cost more but they flush and feel less raw. ADA accessible units meet ADA Standards section 213.2 so that at least one toilet in a cluster is usable by people with mobility issues. For bigger jobs, restroom trailers give your crew real sinks and flush toilets. Roll-off dumpsters move debris fast; we haul 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes. Septic pumping covers residential tanks and grease interceptors on restaurant lines. A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. Storage containers sit on-site for tools and material. Temporary fencing secures open areas. Handwashing stations meet OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requirements where employees apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides.
How We Serve Carlsbad
We answer the phone in Carlsbad during business hours and you get a real person. We deliver and pick up on schedule. Every unit gets cleaned and serviced weekly at minimum; ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 calls that baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. If a tank is full on day three, we pump it on day three. We work construction sites, weddings, festivals, marathons, film sets, home renovations and farm labor. We know the sites around Carlsbad and we know how to place equipment so it doesn't block traffic, get stolen or create problems with the city. If you need a permit, we'll tell you to confirm placement in the public right of way with the city because rules change. We're not perfect but we're direct and we show up.
How do I know what size to rent?
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires 1 toilet for 20 workers or fewer on construction sites; 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 21 to 200; 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. Events use different math: a 100 person wedding needs 2 units; a 500 person festival needs 5 or 6. Call us with your headcount and we'll size it.
Can I rent month to month?
Yes. Monthly porta potty rental costs 125 to 200 dollars per unit. Monthly dumpsters run 91 to 108 dollars per week over the month, so longer rentals give you better rate per day. Storage containers rent for 100 to 125 dollars monthly.
What if I need a unit on the weekend?
Weekend rates are higher because crews work Saturday and Sunday and we run skeleton staff. Call and ask about weekend pricing for your unit type.
Do you deliver same-day?
We can often fit a same-day delivery if you call before 10 a.m. Emergencies like a backed-up septic tank get priority. Tell us what you need and we'll confirm.
Where are you located?
