How far is delivery to Danville from Walnut Creek?
The drive from our Walnut Creek base to central Danville runs 10.8 miles southeast, taking about 19 minutes each way. That distance means a delivery fee. Placement on your site also matters: we need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to drop a roll-off dumpster, and tight residential streets sometimes mean we drop and go, leaving placement to you. Check your property before you call. Weekend delivery costs more than a weekday drop because our trucks handle higher demand. If you're renting for an event or a renovation, ask about event pricing so you understand the full picture upfront.
What permits do I need in Danville?
Placement in the public right of way, sidewalks, alleys, parking strips, needs confirming with the city of Danville before you rent. We can't confirm those rules for you because they change. Call the city directly or tell us your site plan and we'll flag what we see. Private property inside your fence or driveway usually skips the permit step. Placement on school grounds, parks or municipal property requires permission from whoever manages the property. If you're unsure whether your job sits on public or private land, learn more about placement rules and reach out to us with photos or a site map.
Where in Danville do you service most work?
Walnut Creek Porta Pros serves residential renovations, small construction crews, landscaping jobs and special events across Danville. Blackhawk is a big market for us, homes there sit on larger lots and contractors clearing land or building decks call regularly. San Ramon and Alamo are close by. We also handle festival and wedding work near the Danville parks, plus temporary sanitation for film and commercial shoots. If you're working in Danville and need to check our service areas, we cover the whole East Bay. Standard units work fine for crews under 20 people; for 20 to 40 workers, we usually recommend either more standard units or one deluxe flushable unit that handles higher traffic. Crews over 40 should talk to us about a restroom trailer or multiple units placed for easy access.
Do I need to follow OSHA rules for portable toilets?
Yes. If you're running a construction site, OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the ratio: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer; one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up; one seat and one urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. That's a federal rule everywhere, including Danville. An ADA accessible unit counts as one of your total units. If you're applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides on the job, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) also requires washing facilities. A handwashing station or a unit with a sink solves that. We handle that compliance regularly. Call us with your crew size and we'll spec the right count and type for you.
Can I rent a unit for just one day?
Yes. Standard units run daily, weekly and monthly, and pricing drops if you lock in a longer term. A weekend rental costs more than a weekday because demand peaks. If you need a unit for demolition cleanup or a one-day event, daily rental works. We pick it up when you're done. Service once per week is the baseline under the industry standard ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, so a single-day rental sits outside that window, we charge a service fee on top. For jobs that run longer, monthly rental usually makes financial sense because the per-day cost drops.
What's the difference between a standard and a deluxe unit?
A deluxe unit has a flushable toilet, a small sink and a waste dispenser. A standard unit is a portable toilet with a pedal-flush and no sink. Both hold 60 to 70 gallons. Deluxe costs more but handles higher-traffic work, events, office sites, weddings. Standard works for construction crews and short-term jobs. If your crew is digging a foundation or pouring concrete, standard is fine. If you're hosting 50 guests at a backyard party, deluxe looks better and runs cleaner.
How often does Walnut Creek Porta Pros service units in Danville?
Service once per week is baseline for up to 10 users over a 40-hour work week. Heavier use, more people or longer hours, means twice weekly or more. We haul waste, refill the tank and clean the interior on every visit. The distance from Walnut Creek to Danville doesn't change that schedule; we route Danville stops into our regular run. If your job runs weekends or holidays, let us know upfront so we plan around it.
What if I need a roll-off dumpster too?
Roll-off dumpsters in Danville rent the same way as portable toilets, we deliver, you load, we haul. We need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to set it down. Residential driveways often don't have that, so confirm access before you order. Dumpster weight limits vary by size; overloading costs extra. A 20-yard dumpster handles a typical kitchen or bathroom renovation. A 40-yard holds roofing or structural debris from a whole-house job. We'll size it right if you describe what you're throwing out.
