Monthly porta potty rental
How does a 28-day porta potty billing cycle work?
A 28-day billing cycle is a rental period of exactly 28 days, so a long-term porta potty in Salinas is billed every 28 days, not every calendar month. Each 28-day cycle includes weekly service, about 4 visits. The first cycle also includes a one-time delivery and pickup charge.
| Line on your bill | First 28-day cycle | Each later cycle |
|---|---|---|
| Unit rental for 28 days | Yes | Yes |
| Weekly service (pump, clean, restock) | Yes, about 4 visits | Yes, about 4 visits |
| One-time delivery and pickup | Yes | No |
| Rush fee, if you needed fast delivery | Only if it applied | No |
| Sales tax | Unless tax-exempt | Unless tax-exempt |
Later cycles are the unit and service only. The rental renews by itself every 28 days and ends only when you call for pickup. That way a remodel that runs long never loses its toilet mid-job.
Calendar math
How is a 28-day cycle different from a calendar month?
A 28-day cycle is 2 or 3 days shorter than most calendar months. A year holds 13 cycles of 28 days, which is 364 days, but only 12 calendar months. A unit kept all year is billed 13 times, so budget by cycle, not by month.
Worked example: a unit delivered Wednesday, January 6, 2027
| Cycle | Starts | Day 28 | Call for pickup by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cycle 1 | Wed, Jan 6 | Tue, Feb 2 | Fri, Jan 29 |

| Cycle 3 | Wed, Mar 3 | Tue, Mar 30 | Fri, Mar 26 |
| Cycle 4 | Wed, Mar 31 | Tue, Apr 27 | Fri, Apr 23 |
| Cycle 5 | Wed, Apr 28 | Tue, May 25 | Fri, May 21 |
| Cycle 6 | Wed, May 26 | Tue, Jun 22 | Fri, Jun 18 |
| Cycle 7 | Wed, Jun 23 | Tue, Jul 20 | Fri, Jul 16 |
| Cycle 8 | Wed, Jul 21 | Tue, Aug 17 | Fri, Aug 13 |
| Cycle 9 | Wed, Aug 18 | Tue, Sep 14 | Fri, Sep 10 |

| Cycle 13 | Wed, Dec 8 | Tue, Jan 4, 2028 | Fri, Dec 31 |
Each cycle starts on a Wednesday and ends on a Tuesday. To stop billing after cycle 1, call by Friday, January 29, which is 2 business days before day 28 on Tuesday, February 2. Weekends do not count as business days.
Salinas note: Cycle 7 ends during July, when California Rodeo Salinas week keeps trucks busy. Call early if you plan to end the rental then.

Billing stops
No new cycle starts once the unit is picked up on time.
“I called prior to it needing to be picked up... yet I haven't seen the refund.”
Caller describing a second-cycle charge from another company
“Even if I take it for three days, you're charging me for the full month?”
Contractor with a 3-day need
“Do I have to call for a pickup, or will they just come back and get it on the 24th?”
Homeowner
The second-cycle charge is the most painful billing story we heard. That caller phoned on day 26 and was still billed again. Our fix is simple: a clear deadline, a reminder text and a pickup date confirmed on the call.
Weekly service
What happens at each weekly service on a long-term porta potty rental?
Each weekly service on a long-term porta potty takes 6 steps. The driver pumps the tank, scrubs and sanitizes, adds fresh deodorizer, restocks 2 rolls of toilet paper, refills sanitizer and checks the door and lock. Sites that sit idle for days can ask for every-other-week service instead.
- Waste tank pumped and recharged
- Seat, urinal, walls and floor scrubbed and sanitized
- Fresh blue deodorizer added
- 2 rolls of toilet paper restocked
- Hand sanitizer refilled; handwash stations refilled with water, soap and towels
- Door, latch, vent and lock checked
Service happens whether or not anyone is home. Keep the path to the unit clear, and leave the gate code in the order notes.

Ready to start a 28-day rental in Salinas?
Tell us the address, the start date and how long you expect the job to run.
Mon–Sat, 7 a.m.–7 p.m. · Most callers get an itemized quote in under 10 minutes.
I was looking to see how much your porta potties were for a month.
Long-term units bill per 28-day cycle, not per month. On recent quotes, a standard unit ran about $185–$295 per 28-day cycle with weekly service. The first cycle added a one-time delivery and pickup charge of about $59–$144. Your itemized quote is the final price.
So you pay one time for delivery, and then a lower amount every cycle?
Yes. The first cycle includes the one-time delivery and pickup charge. Every later cycle is just the unit and weekly service, so it costs less.
Do I have to call for a pickup, or will they just come back and get it?
You call. Long-term units renew every 28 days until you ask for pickup. Call at least 2 business days before day 28, and we text a reminder before each renewal.
I called before the 28th to have it picked up. Why was I charged a second time?
That happened to a caller at another company. With us, a call at least 2 business days before day 28 schedules pickup before the renewal. If a renewal ever posts after an on-time call, call with your quote number and we review it.
I don't think I'm going to need it cleaned weekly right away, since the work will be sporadic. Does that make sense?
Yes. Sites where crews come and go can ask for every-other-week service. Tell us at booking, and the schedule shows on your quote.
I'm guessing 30 days, but I can always extend that, right?
Yes. The rental renews by itself every 28 days. Keep it as long as the job runs, and call for pickup when you are done.
Even if I take it for three days, you're charging me for the full month?
Not with a short need. Jobs of 1–4 days use a short-term rental with one flat price. The 28-day cycle is for anything longer.
