ADA-compliant ratios. Walked placement. Servicing that runs without anyone noticing.
A 320-guest fundraising gala in Arcata was three days out when the planner realized the rental company hadn't included a single ADA-compliant unit in the order. The original quote had a generic count — one unit per 50 guests, no accessibility line item. Two of the donors confirming their attendance that week used wheelchairs. The planner spent the next 36 hours scrambling to find a vendor who could deliver a compliant unit on short notice. By the time it was resolved, the event had cost more, taken more coordination time, and almost left two important guests without an accessible bathroom.
The version of porta potty for events most companies sell is the version where accessibility is something the planner has to remember to ask for. We built Accessible Mobile Toilet around the opposite assumption. Every event quote we issue includes an accessibility review by default. We calculate ADA ratios against your guest count, flag city ordinance requirements, and recommend the configuration that doesn't leave any of your guests guessing whether they'll have a comfortable place to use the restroom. The conversation is built into the booking — not an upcharge, not an add-on, not something the planner has to know to request.
"We don't treat accessibility as optional. It's part of every quote we deliver in Arcata."
Selected for events where every guest matters.
Standard or flushable units placed strategically to stay outside the photographer's frame. Service timed to the run-of-show.
Multi-unit deployments calculated against guest count, with required ADA-compliant units included by default — not as an upgrade.
Units paired with freestanding hand wash setups for events involving food service or where hygiene visibility matters.
Units paired with scheduled mid-event service during pre-marked lulls. Unmarked vehicles for premium events.
Drop morning of, pickup that night. Flat rate, no minimum commitment.
Standard units for general guests paired with a luxury restroom trailer for VIPs or family. Common for weddings of 150+ guests.
The proof, not the pitch.
Every event quote we issue includes a written accessibility review — guest count assessment, ADA ratio calculation, city ordinance compliance check. We do this whether the planner asks or not. Our event drivers carry ADA reference cards as standard equipment, including ramp angle measurements and turning radius specifications, so when a venue's ground or layout creates an issue, the driver catches it during placement instead of after. We've serviced events across the region — weddings, corporate galas, community festivals, fundraisers, multi-day public gatherings — and our coordinator stays with your booking from quote through pickup. Every event drop includes a placement walkthrough with your contact, fixture testing, and a sign-off sheet completed before the driver leaves.
The view from your side.
"Do I really need ADA-compliant units if I'm not aware of any guests requiring them?"
Probably yes. Public events in Arcata are subject to city ordinance ratios regardless of whether you've identified specific guests. Private events benefit from accessibility because guests sometimes don't disclose mobility needs ahead of time. We'll explain the rules during the quote call.
"Are accessibility-compliant units more expensive?"
Modestly, yes — typically 10-20% above standard. We never bury the difference. Every line item is on the quote.
"What if my venue has accessibility constraints I haven't thought about?"
That's exactly what the venue walkthrough is for. We catch ramp angle issues, ground stability, and access path concerns before delivery.
"Hosted a 200-person wedding in Arcata. The coordinator flagged that we needed an ADA unit during the planning call — something my wedding planner hadn't asked about. Two of my husband's relatives ended up needing it. That call mattered."
"Coordinated a 500-person corporate event. The placement walkthrough caught an issue with our original layout that would have blocked accessibility access. They reconfigured before delivery and held the original quote."
"Booked a single luxury unit for my mother's 80th birthday party. The coordinator asked thoughtful questions about my mother's mobility before recommending the unit type. Felt like dealing with someone who actually cared."
Baseline: one unit per 50 guests for a 4-hour event without alcohol. Add 25% for alcohol service, 25% more for food service, plus ADA-compliant units to meet city ordinance ratio. We run exact math during the planning call.
Standard delivery is the morning of, between 6 AM and 10 AM. Day-before placement available at no charge if your venue allows it.
For public events in Arcata, yes — required by city ordinance. For private events, included by default in our recommendation, removable if you decline.
Yes. Most of our event work happens on weekends. No surcharge for Saturday or Sunday.
