How we work
Simple. Fast. No guessing.
Most rental companies in this market make you call to find out whether you can afford them. We put the numbers on the page first, then answer the two questions that actually decide your order: how many units the law requires, and whether the placement needs a permit.
- Published Los Angeles market price ranges, dated and sourced
- Cal/OSHA Section 1526 unit counts worked out with you
- The real permit desk for every city we serve
- Written quote before a truck is scheduled
- One phone call, roughly two minutes
The two questions that decide your order
- How many units?
- Job sites follow Cal/OSHA Section 1526, one facility per 20 workers of each sex. Events follow the guest-count guideline. Both have a calculator on this site.
- Do you need a permit?
- Only if the unit sits in the public right-of-way. On private property, usually not. We publish the permit desk for every city we serve.

Portable sanitation and roll-off containers
Porta Potty Rental
Porta potty rental is the short- or long-term hire of a self-contained portable toilet, delivered to a site and serviced on a scheduled route by the rental company.
Market range $145–$350 per unit / month
Construction Portable Toilets
Construction portable toilets are jobsite restroom units provided to satisfy Cal/OSHA Title 8 Section 1526, which requires one toilet facility for every 20 employees or fraction thereof, of each sex.
Market range $145–$350 per unit / month
Event Porta Potty Rental
Event porta potty rental is short-duration portable restroom hire for gatherings, sized by guest count and event length - commonly one unit per 50 guests for events up to four hours.
Market range $175–$280 per unit / weekend
ADA Accessible Portable Restrooms
An ADA accessible portable restroom is a ground-level, wheelchair-accessible unit with a wider door, interior turning radius, and grab bars - generally planned at about one accessible unit per 20 standard units.
Market range $175–$300 per unit / month
In actual use
Built for contractors, event crews and productions
Construction sites
Cal/OSHA sets your unit count by crew size, counted separately for each sex. We size the order from your headcount and keep the units serviceable as the build moves through phases.
Events and productions
Guest count, run time and alcohol all change the number. West Hollywood film permits need three business days, which usually sets the lead time rather than the drive.
Accessible placement
Plan roughly one accessible unit per twenty standard ones. The route matters as much as the count: firm, level, and connected to the rest of the site.
How it works
Three steps, one phone call
Tell us the job
Crew size or guest count, the site address, and how long you need it. That is enough for us to size the order.
We size it and check the permit
Unit count from Cal/OSHA or the event ratio, then whether the placement sits on private property or in the right-of-way.

Service guidelines
What cannot go in a unit
Portable toilets are serviced by pumping into a truck and disposing at an approved treatment plant, which is why what goes in matters. LA County requires the company doing that pumping to hold an annual Public Health Permit.
- Hazardous waste, solvents, or paint
- Motor oil, fuel, or automotive fluids
- Batteries, tires, and electronics
- Medical or biohazard waste
- Anything poured into a unit that is not human waste or toilet paper

Answers
Frequently asked questions
Still unsure after reading these? Calling is faster than typing.
How much does porta potty rental cost in Los Angeles?
Standard portable toilets in the Los Angeles market run roughly $145 to $350 per unit per month, or $175 to $280 for a weekend event. ADA units run $230 to $300 per weekend and deluxe flushing units $400 to $800. These are researched market ranges, not a Genesis Dumpsters quote.
How many porta potties do I need on a California job site?
Cal/OSHA Title 8 Section 1526 requires one toilet facility per 20 employees or fraction thereof, of each sex. Because the ratio is applied per sex rather than to the crew as a whole, a 30-person crew split evenly needs two units, not one.
Do I need a permit to put a porta potty on the street?
Yes, if any part of the unit sits in the public right-of-way. Each city issues its own encroachment permit, and in the City of Los Angeles that is an R Permit from the Bureau of Engineering. Units placed entirely on private property generally need no permit.
What areas does Genesis Dumpsters serve?
We run a tight corridor across southeast Los Angeles: Los Angeles, Huntington Park, Vernon, South Gate, Montebello and West Hollywood, plus the surrounding cities inside roughly a 12 mile radius of our yard.
How fast can you deliver?
Standard delivery is within 24 to 48 hours and same-day is often possible. Every city we serve is within 8.4 miles of our yard, so the constraint is usually permit lead time rather than drive time.
How do I book a unit?
Call (323) 831-1979. We take the job type, the site, and how long you need it, then send a written quote covering unit count, service frequency and total before any truck is scheduled.
