Rural lots
What should I check on a hilly Prunedale lot before delivery?
Prunedale lots are often on slopes with long gravel driveways and oak trees. A porta potty must sit on fairly level ground within about 15 feet of where a service truck can park. Walk the driveway before booking and check 5 things: grade, width, branches, gates and wet-season mud.
- Grade: a mild slope is fine; a steep pad is not. Pick the flattest spot near the house or barn.
- Width: the truck needs a clear driveway; tell us about tight turns or one-lane bridges.
- Branches: low oak limbs and overhead wires block the truck's lift.
- Gates: leave it open or put the gate code in the order notes.
- Mud: from November to March, use gravel or a paved pad so the truck does not sink.
County rules
Does Prunedale need a permit for a porta potty?
Prunedale is an unincorporated part of Monterey County, so there is no city permit office. A unit on a private lot needs no permit for a party or a remodel. A unit on a county road shoulder needs a county encroachment permit, and the county permit line is (831) 755-5025.
County parks: Big events in Royal Oaks Park or Manzanita Park are county park events. Ask the park office about restroom rules and truck access before you book units.
Uses
What are Prunedale customers usually renting for?
Prunedale rentals split into 4 common jobs: ranch-style parties, home builds and additions, septic failures and long-term remodels. Many Prunedale homes run on septic systems. When a septic tank fails, a rented unit keeps the house usable while the system is pumped or replaced.
Ranch & backyard parties
Wide lots handle several units and a handwash station. Weekend parties drop Friday and are picked up Monday.
Event restroomsSeptic failures
A collapsed or backed-up septic tank leaves a house without a working toilet. Call early; next-business-day is the norm.

Send a map pin, the date and a note about the driveway.
Mon–Sat, 7 a.m.–7 p.m. · Most callers get an itemized quote in under 10 minutes.
My septic tank failed. How fast can you get a unit to Prunedale?
Orders placed by 2:30 p.m. usually go out the next business day. Same-day is sometimes possible on weekdays if a truck has room — call (831) 260-5800 before 10 a.m. A rush fee applies and shows on the quote; recent same-day emergency fees have exceeded $200.
How long can I keep the unit while the septic is replaced?
As long as the repair takes. Long-term rentals bill every 28 days with weekly service, and the unit stays until you call for pickup.
Can the truck make it up my gravel driveway?
Usually, if the driveway is clear and firm. Tell us about steep grades, tight turns or low branches. In winter, a soft driveway can trap the truck, so pick a spot near pavement or gravel.
Do I need a permit for a party unit on my Prunedale property?
No. Private property in unincorporated Monterey County needs no permit for a short rental. A unit on a county road shoulder needs a county encroachment permit.
What does a weekend party unit cost in Prunedale?
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.
I don't have a street address for my lot. Can you still deliver?
