Best Pots

What Best Pots does

Best Pots, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned portable restroom rental company headquartered in Albany, Oregon, that has operated continuously since its 1977 founding by Homer and Carol Rhodaback. The company is now led by second-generation CEO and President Chris Rhodaback and maintains 51-100 employees. Its service territory covers the Willamette Valley and Oregon Coast across eight Oregon counties (Linn, Benton, Lane, Marion, Lincoln, Polk, Clackamas, and Yamhill), supported by four physical offices in Albany, Salem, Eugene, and Newport, plus a toll-free 1-800 sales line.

The company's core technology is a vacuum-truck service fleet that handles waste removal, unit servicing, and delivery logistics. Its product portfolio spans standard portable restrooms, ADA-compliant units, flushable units, specialty units (Pink, Black Tie, Walk Through Cabana, Crane Lift/Elevator), and a trailer-based premium tier branded "Set the Bar" — including luxury restroom trailers, shower trailers (4- and 8-stall), restroom/shower combo trailers, commissary trailers certified for food handling, and agricultural trailers with self-contained water systems. Accessories include holding tanks (250/300/350 gallon), hand-washing stations, and mobile storage units. Service capabilities include 24/7 emergency response, ADA compliance, off-grid deployments, and capacity for events exceeding 10,000 attendees.

Best Pots generates revenue through customized, quote-based one-time rentals priced on unit count, duration, service frequency, and delivery location, with no publicly disclosed price list. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via phone sales and website quote requests, supplemented by channel partnerships with WeddingWire and The Knot, organic social media (Facebook, Instagram), and community sponsorships. Customer segments are diversified across construction and remodeling contractors, weddings and celebrations, special events and festivals (music, food and wine, sports), sports events, and agriculture, with no single segment disclosed as dominant. Sister company A&B Septic provides adjacent septic services, and the "Set the Bar" sub-brand captures premium-event demand.
