California
For facilities, procurement, and project managers with sites in California. Local providers do the work. Detritus holds one agreement and sends one invoice. This page is about the state. It is not a city rental page.
Last reviewed October 26, 2026.
Detritus does not own a yard. A provider with trucks in the market delivers the roll-off or services the portable toilet. Detritus quotes the work, keeps the service record, pays the provider, and bills the customer. The same agreement can hold roll-offs, portable toilets, and restroom trailers. How a hauler, a broker, and a managed network differ is the longer comparison. Multi-site facilities is the page for a portfolio that crosses more than one state.
Roll-off containers are on dumpster rental. Portable toilets are on portable toilet rental. Restroom trailers are on restroom trailer rental. A single container in one city is a different request. Dumpster Rental Dogs and Porta Potty Dogs quote that work.
Approved accounts can be offered Net 30, 60 or 90 payment terms. Payment terms are available to approved accounts only and are subject to credit review and approval. Detritus may require a deposit, prepayment or a credit card on file, and may set, change or withdraw terms at its discretion. Terms offered to any customer are set in the written agreement or quote; nothing on this page is an offer of credit. See the terms of use.
These figures are work Detritus coordinated, as of October 2026. They are rounded down. Providers in our network that completed at least one roll-off or portable toilet delivery in the past two years, from October 26, 2024 through October 26, 2026. The count is companies we work with in that state. It is not a promise that every address in the state is covered. Jobs are deliveries in that same period at sites in the state. Each portable toilet figure is one unit placed, not one order.
| At California job sites, October 26, 2024 through October 26, 2026 | Rounded down |
|---|---|
| Roll-off jobs | 2,000+ |
| Portable toilet units placed | 6,000+ |
| Customer accounts | 4,000+ |
Counts of 1,000 or more are rounded down to the thousand. Counts below that are rounded down to the hundred. A provider can be in both the roll-off and the portable toilet figures. These are companies we work with in California, not a promise that every address in the state is covered. Some providers based outside California have delivered inside the state. These figures cover roll-off containers and portable toilets. Front-load service, compactors, and balers are not in this count. How coverage works across the country is in the coverage whitepaper.
This is a buyer’s briefing. It is not legal advice, and it is not a compliance certificate. The jurisdiction’s ordinance can be stricter than the state statute, and a waiver can narrow it. Read the current text before you rely on it.
CalRecycle’s Short-Lived Climate Pollutant page, read October 26, 2026, states the SB 1383 targets for 2025: 75 percent less organic waste sent to landfills, and 20 percent of unsold, still-edible food sent to food recovery organizations. CalRecycle’s collection page, read the same day, says jurisdictions provide organic waste collection to residents and businesses unless the jurisdiction has a low-population or high-elevation waiver, or it requires people to self-haul separated material. A business participates in the jurisdiction’s organics collection or self-hauls to a composting facility, a community composting program, or another recovery program. The business must also place organics and recycling containers in areas with disposal containers for customers, except restrooms. A collection container is not required for a material the site does not generate.
Public Resources Code section 42649.2 (AB 341), read October 26, 2026, requires a business that generates four cubic yards or more of commercial solid waste per week, or a multifamily dwelling of five or more units, to arrange for recycling services, consistent with state or local law, to the extent the services are offered and reasonably available. CalRecycle’s mandatory commercial recycling page describes the same threshold.
Public Resources Code section 42649.81 (AB 1826) requires organics recycling. The statute’s opening threshold is four cubic yards or more of commercial solid waste per week. It drops to two cubic yards or more if CalRecycle determines that statewide organics disposal has not fallen to 50 percent of the 2014 level. CalRecycle’s organics FAQ, read October 26, 2026, says the department made that determination on September 15, 2020, and that the two-cubic-yard threshold took effect then. The same FAQ says the AB 1826 rural exemption runs through December 31, 2026. For a business in a jurisdiction that does not have an SB 1383 waiver, the SB 1383 collection rules are the later duty. Confirm which program the jurisdiction is enforcing.
CalRecycle’s construction and demolition diversion guide, read October 26, 2026, states that CALGreen requires covered new residential and nonresidential construction, demolition, and certain additions and alterations to recycle or salvage for reuse a minimum of 65 percent of the nonhazardous construction and demolition debris. The guide cites sections 4.408, 5.408, 301.1.1, and 301.3. The Building Standards Commission states that the 2025 California Green Building Standards Code, Title 24, Part 11, took effect January 1, 2026. A local ordinance can be more stringent. The local building department enforces the code. A project that has to report diversion needs a construction waste management plan, not only a container.
Title 8, section 1526, read October 26, 2026, requires a minimum of one separate toilet facility for each 20 employees or fraction thereof of each sex at a construction jobsite. Toilets and urinals may be included, provided the number of toilets is not less than one half of the minimum. The section has exceptions, including where there are less than five employees. The longer summary of those exceptions, and of chemical toilets when water closets are not feasible, is on the OSHA portable toilet requirements guide.
California Constitution, article XI, section 7, read October 26, 2026, lets a county or city make and enforce local, police, sanitary, and other ordinances that do not conflict with general laws. A container on a city or county street is that local ordinance. Caltrans requires an encroachment permit for a structure or object in, under, or over a State highway right-of-way. Streets and Highways Code section 660, quoted on that page, is the definition. The Caltrans permit is the state highway right-of-way. It is not a permit for every public street. This page does not list city or county street rules.
CalRecycle’s February 2015 survey, Landfill Tipping Fees in California, read October 26, 2026, gathered publicly posted self-haul municipal solid waste fees at 98 active California landfills. The median was $45 per ton. The average was $54 per ton. The range was $0 to $125 per ton. CalRecycle treated the median as the more meaningful figure because the range was wide. The tonnage in the study was 2012 disposal. These are landfill gate rates from that survey. They are not 2026 rates, they are not a container price, and they are not a Detritus quote, offer, or price guarantee. Only a written Detritus quote is binding.
No. 200+ is the rounded count of providers in our network in California, as of October 2026. Providers in our network that completed at least one roll-off or portable toilet delivery in the past two years, from October 26, 2024 through October 26, 2026. That count is not a promise that every address in the state is covered. Send the site list for a coverage answer on a specific address.
In the two years ending October 26, 2026, jobs at California sites round down to 8,000+. That includes 2,000+ roll-off jobs and 6,000+ portable toilet units placed. Customer accounts with a California job site round down to 4,000+. A portable toilet count is units placed, not orders. These figures are rounded down from work Detritus coordinated.
SB 1383 sets the 2025 statewide targets, 75 percent less organic waste landfilled and 20 percent of unsold edible food recovered, and it requires organics collection unless the jurisdiction has a waiver. AB 341 requires recycling service at four cubic yards or more of commercial solid waste per week, and at multifamily properties of five or more units. AB 1826 requires organics recycling, and CalRecycle's September 15, 2020 determination put the two-cubic-yard threshold into effect. The jurisdiction's ordinance and any waiver decide what a given site must do. This page is not legal advice.
CalRecycle's construction and demolition guide states a minimum of 65 percent of nonhazardous construction and demolition debris for the covered projects in CALGreen sections 4.408 and 5.408. The 2025 code took effect January 1, 2026. A local ordinance can require more, and the building department enforces it. The 65 percent figure on this page is the CalRecycle guide, not a line-by-line reading of the 2025 supplement.
No. The $45 per ton median is CalRecycle's February 2015 survey of posted self-haul landfill fees, using 2012 disposal tonnage. The average in that survey was $54 per ton, and the range was $0 to $125. It is not a 2026 gate rate and not a Detritus quote. Only a written Detritus quote is binding.
The site list, the service each address needs, and how billing should split if the portfolio is more than one entity. The quote form opens with roll-off dumpsters, portable restrooms, and restroom trailers checked. Change the list if the sites need something else.
