County rules
Do I need a county permit for a porta potty in unincorporated Monterey County?
A porta potty on private land in unincorporated Monterey County usually needs no permit. A unit on a county road shoulder or right-of-way needs a county encroachment permit. A public special event needs county permits too, and the county asks for applications at least 60 days ahead.
County road or shoulder
The county's Encroachment Permits section issues permits for temporary objects in, on or over county roads. Apply through the county's online Citizen Access portal; the permit line is (831) 755-5025.
Public special events
County special event rules cover events with over 100 people, food or alcohol sales, amplified sound or road closures. Portable toilets are listed under a wastewater permit. Apply 60+ days out; some permits take 120 days.
Farm field crews
Monterey County Environmental Health runs an Agricultural Field Toilet Inspection Program. Field toilet tanks must hold at least 40 gallons, handwash tanks at least 15 gallons, and permits renew each April.
Private yards and ranches
Backyards, driveways and ranch pads need no county permit for a short rental. Your HOA, landlord or venue may still have rules, so check before delivery day.
Unincorporated areas
Which unincorporated Monterey County areas do you serve?
Edward Rental Works serves at least 10 unincorporated Monterey County communities outside city limits. Carmel Valley, Corral de Tierra, Aromas, Moss Landing, Chualar and Spreckels are regular stops. County rules apply in these areas. A road-side unit there goes through the county permit office.

Across 78 recorded customer calls we reviewed from 2025–2026 on our rental line, 49% were weekend events and 45% opened with price. Another 19% asked whether the company was really local. Those numbers shape how each Monterey County quote works: one itemized total, a Friday drop and a Salinas yard.

A Salinas dispatcher answers
Check delivery for your Monterey County address
Give us the town or a map pin and the date. We confirm the route while you are on the phone.
Mon–Sat, 7 a.m.–7 p.m. · Most callers get an itemized quote in under 10 minutes.
Do you deliver everywhere in Monterey County?
We deliver to every town listed on this page and the unincorporated areas between them, from Pajaro to King City and out to Carmel Valley. Big Sur and remote ranch roads past King City are quoted case by case, so call (831) 260-5800 with a map pin.
Is delivery to the Peninsula more than delivery in Salinas?
Delivery is priced by distance, so a Peninsula address can carry a slightly higher delivery line than a Salinas address. On recent recorded quotes, a standard weekend event unit most often came to about $249 including delivery and pickup, with quotes running roughly $199–$299 before tax depending on date and distance. Your itemized quote is the final price.
Who issues the permit if my unit has to go on a county road?
The Monterey County Encroachment Permits section handles objects placed in county roads and shoulders. Apply through the county's Citizen Access portal or call (831) 755-5025. City streets inside Monterey, Seaside, Marina and other cities go through each city's own office.
Do I need a county permit for a backyard party in Carmel Valley?
Usually not. A rented unit on private property for a private party does not need a county encroachment permit. A public event with over 100 people, food or alcohol sales, or amplified sound falls under the county special event rules, which ask for 60 days' notice.
Can you set up toilets for a farm crew that moves between fields?
Yes. Towable units on a trailer let a crew move toilets and handwash stations from block to block. The county field toilet permit and Cal/OSHA spacing rules still apply, so tell us the crew size and the fields when you call.
Are you actually local to Monterey County?
Yes. Our trucks and units run out of 520 Brunken Ave, Salinas, CA 93901. The person who answers (831) 260-5800 books the truck, so you get a delivery day and a quote number on the first call.
