About American SaniCan
We’re a family-owned portable restroom company based in Portland, Oregon, and we’ve been renting porta potties across the region since 1996. What started as a small local operation has grown into one of the most recognized names in NW Oregon sanitation — but we’ve never forgotten the thing that got us here: showing up on time, keeping our units clean, and treating customers like neighbors.
Proud Portlanders Since 1996
We were founded here, we live here, and we’ve been renting porta potties to Portlanders for nearly three decades. Over that time we’ve served everything from backyard kitchen remodels to multi-year commercial builds, from small weddings in someone’s yard to festivals with tens of thousands of attendees. Along the way we’ve been named one of the Top 100 portable restroom operators in North America — something we’re proud of, even if we don’t like to toot our own horn.
What We Actually Do
We rent portable restrooms and related sanitation equipment — porta potties, luxury restroom trailers, ADA-accessible units, handwashing stations, and holding tanks. We deliver them, we service them on a schedule that makes sense for your project, and we pick them up when you’re done. That’s the whole job. We just try to do it better than anyone else in the Portland area.
