Where the unit goes
In Los Angeles, most units stand on private property: a driveway, a lot space, a gravel pad or a fenced site. The truck needs firm access within hose reach.
A unit on a street, curb or sidewalk needs a street use permit from StreetsLA, which includes a site inspection. See permits.

Permits and city rules

FAQs
Common questions
Los Angeles questions, sorted by how often they came up.
How fast can you deliver a porta potty?
Los Angeles-area orders were delivered within a day of booking on 65% of jobs last year. Fixed-date events in Los Angeles should be placed a few days ahead.
How does billing work?
Rentals bill in 28-day cycles at your quoted rate, and the unit stays for as long as your Los Angeles job runs. Net 30 terms are available for qualified contractor accounts. Taxes and extra service are on your quote.
How do I schedule a pickup?
Phone (213) 224-7023 with the day you want the unit removed, and we book the pickup. Missed pickups get a same-day call to the hauler.
How many porta potties does my job site need?
OSHA requires 1 toilet for up to 20 workers. For Los Angeles job sites, we plan by how many people are working and when, and add a hand wash station past about 20 people.
Can I put a porta potty on my driveway?
Yes, a driveway or a gated lot is common here. Make sure the truck can get to the spot from your own drive and that the ground is firm. Tell us about steep grades and septic lines when you order.
How far ahead should I book for an event?
Los Angeles customers book close in: half came a day or less before delivery, and a quarter three or more days out. For November, December or March weekends, or the LA County Fair, book two weeks in advance.
Do I need a permit for a porta potty?
Not on private property. A unit on a street, curb or sidewalk needs a street use permit from StreetsLA (Bureau of Street Services), and the site inspection takes about 3 business days. Call StreetsLA at (213) 847-6000 or apply at bsspermits.lacity.org.
Do you service on weekends?
Yes, for an extra charge. Weekend service can be added to a Los Angeles rental, and the price is on your quote.
Do porta potties work in winter?
Freezing nights almost never happen here, so units run all year without winter prep.
