Porta potty rental questions, answered

Book standard units 3 to 7 days ahead for most dates, and 1 to 2 weeks ahead for May and June graduation weekends and holiday weekends. Restroom trailers need 2 to 4 weeks. Same-day orders are possible when you call before noon.

Deliveries run between 7 am and 7 pm, Monday to Saturday. You can ask for morning or afternoon, and the driver calls about 30 minutes before arriving. Event units usually arrive the day before to remove timing risk.

Routine routes do not run on Sunday. A Sunday event gets its unit on Saturday or Friday, and pickup is Monday. Those extra days are not charged.

Deliveries start at 7 am. For an early crew, book the unit for the afternoon before so it is waiting when the crew arrives.

Sites with no address are normal for new tracts, orchards and open land. Text a dropped map pin or cross streets and mark the spot with a stake or cone.

We deliver to towns within about 80 miles of Turlock, including Modesto, Merced, Stockton, Manteca, Tracy, Los Banos, Sonora and the Tri-Valley. Enter your ZIP in the delivery checker or call to confirm.

ApexFlow Restroom Co runs its own trucks out of Turlock. The person who answers the phone books the route, so the price and delivery window you hear are the ones you get.

Every quote can be texted or emailed as an itemized PDF with the unit, delivery, pickup, service and tax lines. Quotes hold for 7 days.

Event quotes include delivery and pickup in the price. Job-site and long-term quotes show a one-time delivery line on the first 28-day bill. Pickup is included.

Any fuel, rush or card charge is listed on the quote before you pay. There is no surprise fee added to the invoice after the rental.

The unit price is per unit. Delivery is usually charged once per trip, so two units on one delivery cost less than two separate orders.

Event rentals are paid by card when you book. Long-term rentals charge the card on file at the start of each 28-day cycle. Repeat business customers can request invoicing.

Most of the cost is the truck trips, pumping and disposal, not the days. A 28-day cycle covers delivery, weekly service and pickup, so the price stays the same for 10 days or 28.

Multi-unit orders often save on delivery because one trip carries them all. Ask about seasonal pricing for harvest crews, churches, schools and weekly markets.

Send a valid California tax-exemption certificate before billing, and sales tax is removed from the invoice.

A standard unit has a seat, urinal and sanitizer over a holding tank. A deluxe unit adds a sink. A deluxe flushable adds a foot-pump flush and a sink. All three need no hookups.

In a standard unit you can see into the tank under the seat, though blue deodorizer hides most of it. A deluxe flushing unit rinses the bowl so guests do not look into the tank.

A clean, serviced unit has a light deodorizer scent. Odor builds with heat, full tanks and missed service. Shade, the right unit count and weekly service keep smell down.

A handicap or ADA-style unit is a wheelchair-accessible portable toilet with a ground-level floor, grab bars and room to turn a wheelchair. It also helps guests with walkers and parents with strollers.

The deluxe flushing unit has a foot-pump sink with soap and paper towels inside, filled from its own tank. No hose is needed.

Towable units on small trailers are available for farms and crews that move during the day. They are hitched and moved by your crew between blocks.

A restroom trailer needs a garden-hose water supply and a 110-volt outlet. Where there is none, add a fresh-water tank and a generator.

A unit should sit on level, firm ground so it does not rock or tip. Driveways, gravel and packed dirt are best. Short dry grass works too.

The truck stays on pavement or firm gravel. The crew can wheel a unit a short way onto grass, so keep the spot within about 25 feet of where the truck parks.

A standard unit needs a gate at least 48 inches wide. A wheelchair-accessible unit needs about 8 feet of clear width, so it usually goes in a driveway or open lot.

A full unit can weigh well over 300 pounds and may tip. Call and we will move it on the next route day.

A unit in a street or sidewalk needs a city encroachment permit. A driveway or side yard avoids that step.

The driver calls you before choosing another spot. If the site is blocked and no safe spot exists, the trip may be billed as a dry run, so share gate codes and clear the path.

A unit can stay at a venue from the day before your event until the next business day. Ask the venue first, since some farm venues and churches limit outside equipment on their grounds.

Units have a hasp for a padlock. Bring your own lock and share the code for long-term service.

Rentals of a week or longer are pumped, cleaned and restocked once a week. Crews over 10 workers or units in summer heat often need two visits a week.

Every unit is delivered with two rolls of toilet paper and full sanitizer or sink supplies. Paper is restocked at each service visit.

Extra service visits can be added any day. Call or text, and the visit goes on the next route through your area.

Event units arrive clean and stocked and are serviced at pickup. Multi-day festivals can add a mid-event service.

Pump-out service for customer-owned units can be added to our route days. Call with the count, location and how often they need pumping.

Extra days around your event are not charged. A Saturday party unit can come Friday and leave Monday at the same flat price.

Add a padlock when the unit arrives and remove it before the event. Leave it unlocked for pickup.

Two units labeled by gender shorten lines at parties of 60 to 100 guests. For smaller parties, one unit works for everyone.

Hand washing is a good idea any time guests eat with their hands. A deluxe unit with a sink or a separate hand-washing station both work.

Units for memorials and celebrations of life are set the day before and picked up the next business day, with as little fuss as possible.

Weekly markets save money on a 28-day rental with weekly service instead of repeat event drop-offs. Units can be locked between market days.

Cal/OSHA requires at least one toilet per 20 workers of each sex. With weekly service, plan one standard unit per 10 workers so the tank does not fill early.

Cal/OSHA §3457 requires one hand-washing facility per 20 field workers within a quarter-mile walk or five minutes of the work.

Towable units or a scheduled move to the next block keep toilets within the quarter-mile limit. Give us the week's block plan.

First orders are paid by card. Repeat contractors and farms can request a business account with invoicing and a billing contact.

Cancel 48 hours or more before delivery for a full refund. Inside 48 hours, half is refunded. Same-day and rush orders cannot be refunded once the truck is dispatched.

Rescheduling is free with at least 24 hours notice before delivery, subject to availability on the new date.

Call at least a day before the scheduled pickup. Event rentals extend by a few days at no or low cost. Long-term rentals simply roll into the next 28-day cycle.

Normal wear is on us. Damage from vandalism, fire, theft, tipping or misuse is billed to the renter, along with any extra cleaning needed.

Every rental includes an itemized paid receipt that you can send to an insurance adjuster.
