Do I need an ADA-accessible restroom?
If the restrooms are for the public, yes: under the 2010 ADA Standards, where portable toilets are grouped together, at least 5% of them (and never fewer than one) must be accessible. Many job-site contracts ask for one too.
Do I need a permit for event restrooms in Guadalupe?
Restroom requirements come with your event permit, not from us. Ask the City of Guadalupe (or Santa Barbara County for venues outside city limits) what your permit needs; many ask how many restrooms and hand wash stations you'll have. We'll send the equipment list in writing for your application.
Can I talk to someone in Spanish?

Here is what it says, section by section, and how crews on the Central Coast usually set it up.

- How many porta potties do I need for an event?Start with about one restroom per 50 guests for a four-hour event, then adjust for length, alcohol, food and accessibility. Here is the table we use when someone calls with a guest count.
