Santa Rosa Porta Pros outfits film sets with restroom trailers, standard units and portable power so production doesn't lose a day waiting on sanitation. A 2-stall trailer runs 175 to 2500 dollars a day depending on spec, and crews of 20 or fewer meet OSHA 1926.51(c) with one toilet facility on location.
Depends on crew size and how many days you're on location. A tight crew, 20 people or fewer, satisfies OSHA 1926.51(c) with one toilet facility, and a standard porta potty rental covers that without fuss. Bigger productions, especially ones with talent trailers and a client watching, usually want a restroom trailer rental instead. Real flush toilets, sinks, climate control. Nobody on a call sheet wants to explain a smell to a director.
For a single-location shoot in Santa Rosa running a few days, a 2 stall restroom trailer handles a crew of 30 to 40 comfortably. Bigger ensemble shoots or multi-unit productions often step up to a 4 stall restroom trailer or the 8 stall restroom trailer if you're running background actors through in waves. If the production needs to check the ADA Accessible box, at least one unit in any cluster of portable toilets needs to meet ADA Standards 213.2, and we can build that into the order with an ADA accessible porta potty.
Power matters too. Trailers with climate control and lighting need a real electrical hookup, and a portable generator rental for film sets solves that when you're shooting somewhere without shore power, out at a vineyard location or a rural exterior. Pair that with a light tower rental for early call times or night shoots, and a temporary power pole if the shoot runs longer than a week. Ask us for the full construction site services list if your art department is also building sets on location.
Pricing depends heavily on trailer size and how many days you need it. A basic day rate starts around 175 dollars for a simple trailer and climbs toward 2500 for a full luxury unit with multiple stalls. Weekly and event rates change the math substantially, so check the table below before you lock a budget line.
| unit | day | week | event |
|---|---|---|---|
| trailer | 175 - 2500 | 150 - 1650 | 2499 - 3899 |
| standard porta potty | 100 - 350 | 130 - 500 | 200 - 800 |
| ada unit | 200 - 400 | 120 - 240 | -- |
A short weekend shoot in Santa Rosa can also book a trailer at a flat weekend rate, generally 900 to 3000 dollars depending on spec, which is often cheaper than paying separate day rates across a Friday through Sunday shoot. Multi-week or feature-length shoots should look at our restroom trailer rental cost breakdown, and if you're comparing trailer against standard units for a smaller crew, the porta potty rental cost page walks through that math too. Delivery fees run separately, from about 100 to 500 dollars a day depending on distance and site access, so factor that into a location scout's budget before the crew arrives.
If your shoot moves between locations across a single week, ask about a monthly porta potty rental rate instead of booking day-by-day, since a longer term almost always works out cheaper per day.
We deliver anywhere in Santa Rosa and to nearby locations scouts favor for exteriors and open lots. Fulton sits about 6.2 miles northwest, Larkfield-Wikiup about 7.2 miles northwest, and Sebastopol roughly 7.8 miles southwest, all within easy same-day delivery range. Productions shooting further out toward Rohnert Park, about 8.7 miles south, or Petaluma at 16.9 miles south, should still book delivery a few days ahead so we can plan the route and confirm site access.
A roll-off delivery, and most trailer deliveries, need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so if your location has a tight gravel lane or a locked gate, tell the location manager to flag it early. Check our service areas page for the full list of towns we reach, and if your shoot needs an emergency porta potty rental because a unit failed mid-shoot day, we prioritize film and event calls.
Placement in the public right of way for street shoots needs confirming with the City of Santa Rosa before delivery day. We don't guess on that, so loop in your location manager early. For anything beyond restrooms, a temporary fence rental or crowd control barrier rental keeps extras and onlookers off a working set, and a storage container rental or mobile office trailer rental covers wardrobe and equipment storage if the shoot runs multiple days.
Book at least a week out for standard trailers, two to three weeks for luxury units or multi-stall trailers during busy shoot seasons. Last-minute calls still get handled through our emergency porta potty rental line, but you get better trailer selection booking early.
Yes. Many crews add a standalone handwashing station rental near catering or the makeup tent, separate from restroom units. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)2 requires soap and towels or a hand-drying device at wash stations, not just sanitizer.
Yes, we deliver to private locations around Santa Rosa and nearby towns. Confirm ground conditions and driveway width when you book, since trailers need clearance and a level surface for setup and leveling jacks.
We pair restroom trailers with generator rental for locations without shore power. Tell us the trailer size and expected run time so we size the generator correctly before delivery day.
For crews of 10 or fewer on a short shoot day, a portable sink rental plus a standard unit often covers it. Larger or multi-day shoots do better with a trailer for comfort and speed between takes.
Yes. Santa Rosa Porta Pros delivers film set restroom rental across Santa Rosa and the surrounding metro, with same-day and next-day drop-off available on most orders.
