How we work in Washington
Local haulers do the work; we hold the contract, own the problems, and send one bill. One agreement can hold roll-off dumpsters, portable toilets, and restroom trailers for every Washington site. If you’re weighing us against a single hauler, here’s how a broker, a hauler, and our provider network differ.

The network
The network in Washington
At Washington job sites, October 26, 2024 through October 26, 2026 · Published figure
Figures are counts of completed deliveries, providers, and accounts in this window from our records, as of October 2026. Roll-off deliveries are containers delivered. Portable toilet deliveries are units placed, not orders. A company that completed both services is counted in both service rows, so those rows are not a split of the provider total. The counts are not a promise that every address is covered. Front-load service, compactors, and balers are not in these counts.
State rules
Washington rules a buyer should know
What follows is a buyer’s summary of the Washington rules that change the buy. It is not legal advice, so check the current text and the site’s local ordinance before you rely on it.
Where construction debris can go
Washington’s solid waste rule, WAC 173-350-100, lists construction, demolition, and land clearing debris among the wastes a limited purpose landfill takes: a landfill that isn’t an inert waste landfill and receives only nonhazardous solid waste that isn’t municipal solid waste. Confirm acceptance with the facility before the haul.
Who may haul portable toilet waste
Washington’s on-site sewage rules, WAC 246-272A-0010, define septage to include material removed from portable toilets. Under WAC 246-272A-0310, anyone removing septage from an on-site system needs approval from the local health officer first, and septage moves only in vehicles marked with the business name and approved by the local health officer. Crew counts are on the OSHA portable toilet requirements guide.
A container on a public street
Seattle DOT’s storage container and residential dumpster permits page says containers and dumpsters in the public right-of-way need a Street Use permit before they’re delivered and placed. Containers and dumpsters for construction projects need a different type of permit. Containers go at least 30 feet from intersections, 10 feet from driveways, and 15 feet from hydrants. Other Washington cities set their own rules.
