What We Do
We rent standard portable toilets, ADA accessible units, and deluxe flushable models that hold 60 to 70 gallons and measure about 44 by 48 inches on the ground. Every unit sits roughly 92 inches tall. South San Francisco Porta Pros also pumps residential and commercial septic tanks (typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, depending on tank size and household size), handles grease trap pumping when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth, and rents roll-off dumpsters, restroom trailers, handwashing stations, temporary fencing and storage containers.
We service San Bruno (5.5 miles away), Millbrae (7.2 miles), Burlingame (7.6 miles), Pacifica (9.9 miles) and Foster City (15.5 miles). Placement on public property in South San Francisco requires confirmation with the city before delivery. We pull roll-off dumpsters with a truck that needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it, so we'll assess your site during the quote phase.
Who Hires Us
Construction crews rent from South San Francisco Porta Pros because we move fast on emergency requests and keep units serviced on schedule. OSHA 1926.51(c) requires 1 toilet facility for every 20 workers or fewer on a construction site; 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up to 200; and 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. We help contractors meet those rules without delay.
Event planners, weddings, festivals, concerts, races and county fairs, use our event restroom rentals because they arrive on time and leave the site clean. We also serve agricultural operations, film crews, home renovation projects and disaster relief.
Property managers in South San Francisco call us for septic pumping and maintenance before a tank backs up. ADA accessible units follow ADA Standards section 213.2 (at least 5 percent of clustered single-user units must be accessible, never fewer than one) and feature 36-inch clear approach widths per ADA Standards section 403.5.1 and 32-inch door openings per section 404.2.3.
How We Work
Call or message to describe your job, what kind, how many people, how long. We quote by phone or email the same day. Delivery happens within 24 hours on weekdays and the following Monday on weekend requests in most cases. You can rent by the day, weekend, week or month. Service calls happen weekly for standard contracts (baseline interval per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 for up to 10 users over a 40-hour week), and we add extra pickups on request.
South San Francisco Porta Pros maintains every unit in-house and stocks parts and waste chemicals on-site. We hold the licenses required to pump septic tanks and haul waste legally in the county. For handwashing stations where employees apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities with soap and with towels or a hand drying device per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2); hand sanitizer alone does not meet the standard.
How long does a portable toilet last between cleanings?
Standard service happens once per week for up to 10 users over a 40-hour work week. Events and high-traffic sites get daily or twice-daily pumping. We schedule based on your foot traffic and site type.
Do you rent portable toilets for just one day?
Yes. Day rates are available, and we deliver the same day or next morning. Weekend emergency requests are possible; call to confirm availability.
Can I place a portable toilet in a public parking lot or street?
You'll need to confirm placement with the city of South San Francisco before we deliver. We'll help you understand what's needed when you call for a quote.
What's the difference between a standard unit and a deluxe?
Deluxe flushable models have an electric flush, handwashing sink and interior lighting. Standard units are chemical toilets with no plumbing. Deluxe units cost more per day and week.
Do you offer septic pumping on weekends?
Yes. Weekend septic service is available; pricing differs from weekday rates. Call to schedule or ask during your quote.
