Restroom Trailer Rentals across San Ramon, Contra Costa County

Our 2, 3 and 5-Station trailers each need one standard 20 amp, 120 volt outlet within about 100 feet. The 9-Station and the ADA + 2 need two separate circuits. Avoid an outlet that also runs a pool pump or hot tub. If your reception sits on a vineyard lawn or a ranch far from any building, we bring a quiet generator and place it where guests will not hear it.

The quote depends on the unit size, how many days you keep it, the distance and how many service visits you need. A generator, an after-hours delivery or a hard-to-reach site can also change it. Send us your date, address and guest count, and we will build a free quote that covers delivery, setup, stocking and pickup.

Yes. Every unit has both air conditioning and a heater. On summer days in the Dougherty Valley, we turn the AC on before guests arrive. For winter markets and holiday parties, we leave the heat on overnight so the rooms stay warm and the water lines do not freeze.

Most of the time, yes. We need a fairly level spot, a firm path for the truck about 10 to 12 feet wide, and no low limbs or wires over the route. We level the trailer on jacks and blocks on a gentle slope. Send us photos of the gate, the drive and the spot you have in mind, and we will tell you which unit fits.

Yes, and we suggest it. May through October weekends book first, and harvest weekends in September and October go fastest at the wineries. A deposit holds your date and the unit size. You can change the head count later as your guest list firms up.

It is a different thing. Our trailers have flushing china toilets, sinks with running water, mirrors, lights, and heat and air conditioning. Women’s and men’s rooms have their own doors. Guests walk up a few steps into a clean room that feels like a home bathroom, instead of a plastic box.

Our ADA + 2 has a full accessible room with its own built-in ramp. It needs level ground with no more than a 2 percent slope and a clear, firm path to the ramp. The City of San Ramon asks for at least 10 percent accessible units at permitted events, so we size that into your order and mark the unit with the access symbol.

Large crowds need several trailers spread across the site, not one big unit in a corner. For a festival in Central Park, we often place 9-Stations near the food courts and stages, plus accessible units near the main paths. We service them between days so the second day starts clean.

Yes. We often deliver company picnic and holiday party trailers early in the morning or the evening before. The trailer plugs into an outside outlet, and our crew is gone before the first meetings. Pickup happens on your schedule, so your lawn is clear by lunch.

We answer 24/7 and send the closest staged unit, often the same day. Tell us the shelter address, the expected head count and whether the building has power. If the grid is down, we bring a generator with the trailer and set up daily service until the shelter closes.

Yes. Long rentals are common for winter markets, tree lots and pop-ups. We leave the trailer in place and service it on a fixed schedule, usually before the market opens. If weekends get busy, we can add a second unit for Saturdays and Sundays only.

The City of San Ramon packet has a full page on restrooms, and it is easy to get stuck on it. Start with your head count. If more than 500 people will attend, restrooms are required. Count the accessible units next: at least 10 percent of the total, and never fewer than one at each location. A single unit placed alone must be accessible. The form then asks for setup and pickup dates and times, plus the vendor’s name and phone number. Put the restroom trailers on your site map, along with the 20 foot fire lanes, the stages and the trash areas. Keep each unit clear of walkways and at least 25 feet from any storm drain.

Power is the part people forget. The City and the fire district want a power map showing every cord and where it plugs in. Outdoor-rated cords only, no more than two cords strung together, and no splitters. Our trailers draw from standard 20 amp circuits, so tell your electrician how many circuits you need and where the units will sit. If you plan a generator, list it on the form, because generators need approval ahead of time. Send us your draft site map and we will mark exact trailer spots and sizes for you.

Before a trailer goes into a San Ramon backyard, walk the route the truck will take. Measure the narrowest point, which is usually a side gate or the space between a car and a planter. Look up for low oak limbs, eaves, wires and basketball hoops. Check the driveway grade, since steep drives in Norris Canyon and the Dougherty Valley hills may need the trailer set at the bottom instead of the top. Find your outdoor outlets and test which ones share a circuit with a pool pump, a spa or the kitchen. Take photos of all of it from the street and from the spot you have in mind.

Next, think about where guests will walk. The best spot is close to the party but not facing the dance floor or the dinner tables. A side yard or the end of a driveway works well. Plan a lit path so no one crosses wet grass in heels after dark. Tell your neighbors the delivery day and ask them to keep the curb open. If you live in a gated area or an HOA, check the delivery hours and send us the gate code. With those photos and notes in hand, most backyard setups take under an hour.

PG&E has shut off power in parts of San Ramon during high wind and fire danger, and some of those shutoffs lasted more than a day. Most homes keep flushing in an outage, since city water pressure does not need house power. Trouble starts when a building depends on a pump, a lift station or a well. Offices, churches and schools with their own pumps can lose working restrooms in a long outage. A water main break or a sewer backup can do the same thing in the middle of a busy week. Find out now whether your building has a pump, and who to call if it stops.

A self-contained trailer solves both problems. It brings its own fresh water and holds its own waste, and it only needs a small generator when the grid is down. For an office, a 5-Station near a side door covers a working day for a full floor of staff. For a church or school, add an accessible unit. Keep our number in your emergency plan, along with the trailer size you would want and where it would park. When the next shutoff comes, one call gets a unit rolling. Ready.gov has a good list of steps for longer outages.

Holiday markets, farmers markets and food truck nights in San Ramon fall under Contra Costa Environmental Health when food is sold or given away. Each food booth needs its own permit, and booths that handle open food need a handwash station with warm water, soap, paper towels and a catch basin for the dirty water. The event organizer sends in a site map that shows every booth, truck, restroom and trash area. The City packet asks for that county permit at least 30 days before the event, so start early.

Our trailers give shoppers and vendors a clean restroom with warm running water, but they do not replace a booth’s own handwash setup. Plan both. Place the restroom trailer where vendors can reach it on a break without leaving their booth unattended for long, usually at one end of the vendor row. For a market that runs every weekend through December, we service the unit before opening each market day. Ask us for a layout sketch and we will show you where the trailer, the cords and the service truck should go.

Contra Costa Health temporary food facility FAQs

Not every company that rents restroom trailers owns them. Some take your order and pass it to whoever has a unit free that weekend. Ask who owns the trailer, who delivers it and who answers the phone on the day of your event. Ask to see real photos of the exact unit size you are booking, inside and out. Ask how many stalls the women’s side has, because that is where lines form. Ask if the trailer has heat and air conditioning, and whether service visits are part of the quote or extra.

Then ask about the site itself. Will they scout your driveway or venue from photos? Do they bring a generator if the outlet is too far? What happens if your guest count goes up a month before the date? For a permitted event, can they fill in the restroom section of the City form? For a winery wedding, do they know the venue’s delivery rules? We answer all of these on the first call. Call us or request a free quote, and compare what you hear.
