Farm crews need one toilet per 20 workers under field sanitation rules, placed within a quarter mile walk of the work. Carmichael Porta Pros sets up standard units, handwashing stations and holding tanks for orchards, row crops and ag operations around Carmichael, delivering within a day or two most weeks.
Field sanitation under OSHA 1928.110 calls for one facility per 20 hand-labor employees, and it has to sit within a quarter mile walk of wherever people are working. That is a different rule than the one construction crews use, which is OSHA 1926.51(c), one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, scaling up from there. Most Carmichael-area farms we serve run crews of 15 to 40 during harvest, which usually means two to three standard units spread across the field rather than clustered at one entrance. Potable water has to be on site too, per OSHA 1926.51(a)(1), so we pair units with handwashing stations or a portable sink when a client wants both covered at once. If your crew works pesticide or herbicide applications, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that specific exposure, separate from the general field sanitation baseline. We walk the property with you before drop-off, because a quarter mile matters more on a spread-out row crop than it does on a compact orchard block. Use our placement guide if you are planning layout ahead of a delivery, and check how many porta potties do I need if your crew size shifts by season, which most ag operations' does.
Pricing depends on how long the unit sits and how many you need. A single standard unit runs in the range below, and a monthly commitment through harvest season usually costs less per week than a short rental would.
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | $100 | $150 | $350 |
| week | $130 | $200 | $500 |
| month | $125 | $200 | $325 |
Delivery adds a separate fee, typically $50 to $150 for a weekly job, and service visits follow the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline of one cleaning per week for up to 10 users over a standard work week, more often if your crew runs bigger shifts. If you need a longer-term setup for a multi-month growing season, our monthly porta potty rental page breaks down what changes at that length versus a short rental. Farms with a permanent yard or packing shed sometimes add a holding tank rental for wash water instead of running a septic line out to a remote field. For a full cost comparison across unit types, see porta potty rental cost or porta potty rental per day if you are only running a short crew for one cutting or one harvest weekend.
We deliver throughout Carmichael and to the row crop and orchard operations nearby, including farms out toward Fair Oaks, 6.0 miles east, and Gold River, 6.1 miles east. North Highlands sits 6.3 miles northwest and Foothill Farms is 5.3 miles north, both within easy same-day delivery range for a standard unit. La Riviera is the farthest of our regular stops at 9.5 miles south, still workable for scheduled deliveries. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and stands about 92 inches tall, footprint roughly 44 by 48 inches on the ground, so it drops into a field edge or a farm road turnout without much site prep. If your operation runs on a septic system rather than a leach field for its main buildings, pumping intervals for a typical residential-scale tank run every 3 to 5 years depending on tank size and household or crew load, and our septic pumping service or how often to pump a septic tank page covers that separately from field toilet rentals. Check our service areas page for the full list of towns we reach from Carmichael, and see the Carmichael porta potty rental page for our home base service details.
Yes, when the work involves pesticide or herbicide application, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires dedicated washing facilities for that exposure. General field sanitation under 1928.110 already requires potable water on site. We rent handwashing stations alongside toilet units for exactly this reason.
Yes. Most Carmichael farms rent for the weeks their crew is largest, then release the units after harvest. A month-long rental runs $125 to $325 depending on unit count, cheaper per week than a string of short-term bookings.
Field sanitation rules call for placement within a quarter mile walk of the work area, under OSHA 1928.110. We walk your property before delivery to confirm placement meets that distance across every block you are working.
We service on a schedule, typically weekly per the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 standard, more often for larger crews. You tell us your peak crew size and we adjust the visit frequency before the season starts.
Tell us during booking. Standard units are compact and our trucks can usually reach farm roads and field edges without needing the 60 feet of clearance a roll-off delivery requires. We will scout access with you first.
Yes. Carmichael Porta Pros delivers farm and agricultural restrooms across Carmichael and the surrounding metro, with same-day and next-day drop-off available on most orders.
