How we got here
The owner started pumping septic tanks out of a single truck in the late 2000s. He was tired of waiting for vendors to return calls. So he answered his phone at 6 AM and kept it ringing. That mentality stuck. Within a few years, East Los Angeles Porta Pros added portable toilets to match demand from construction foremen who wanted one company for bathrooms and pumping instead of three. A roll-off dumpster fleet came next, then trailers. We grew because customers in East Los Angeles had a problem: downtime while they waited for service. We made waiting stop. Today we operate from a yard 2.7 miles northeast in Monterey Park and keep units staged so we can deliver in hours, not days. Restroom trailer rental and storage container rental now make up nearly 40 percent of our monthly revenue.
Construction schedules don't bend. A three-day delay costs real money. When a site manager in East Los Angeles calls at 8 AM on a Thursday needing a standard portable toilet by noon, we load it and go. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and runs about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, small enough to fit tight spaces but sized for real use. For larger jobs, we deploy ADA accessible units to meet ADA Standards section 213.2, which requires at least one accessible toilet in any cluster. We also handle grease trap pumping for restaurants and commercial kitchens across East Los Angeles where fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth.
What we rent
| Service | What it does |
|---|---|
| Portable toilets | Single-unit or multi-unit for sites under 100 workers. How many porta potties do I need depends on your crew size and OSHA 1926.51(c) toilet-to-worker ratios. |
| Septic pumping | Residential tanks pump every 3 to 5 years. We also do emergency service when a tank backs up. |
| Roll-off dumpsters | 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes for construction waste, demolition and junk removal. |
| Restroom trailers | 2, 4 and 8 stall units with hot water, mirrors and climate control for events and long-term sites. |
| Storage containers | 20 and 40 foot units delivered and picked up. |
| Temporary fencing | Chain-link and post rental by the linear foot for job site perimeters. |
| Handwashing stations | Portable sinks with soap and hand drying devices per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) for work crews. |
We service every rental on schedule. A standard portable toilet gets serviced weekly under normal use. If a site ramps up to 50 workers, call us and we'll shift to twice weekly. Emergency portable toilet rental is available 24 hours. We also pump septic tanks on the weekend if a backup happens at your home in East Los Angeles on a Saturday morning. Call us.
Why we're different
We answer phones at night. Most vendors in East Los Angeles forward calls to voicemail after 5 PM. We don't. The owner still takes emergency calls himself. If your event needs a restroom trailer rental delivered Friday afternoon and the usual company goes dark, we're the call you make. We also price fairly. Porta potty rental cost varies by unit, duration and delivery distance, but we don't surprise you. A quote is a quote. Finally, we keep our equipment clean. Every unit leaves our yard sanitary and ready. Complaints are rare. Happy customers call back or refer a friend.
