Do I need a permit for a porta potty on a Downey street?
A porta potty on your driveway or yard normally needs no permit in Downey. Anything stored on the public right-of-way needs a Downey Public Works encroachment permit. Downey asks for a city business license and liability insurance: $2 million for contractors and $200,000 for homeowners, with the city named as additional insured.
Street closures for block parties need a separate application at least 30 days before the event. The legal minimum is the permit; our recommendation is to keep the unit on private property and skip the insurance paperwork.

Check first: General information, not legal advice. Confirm with Downey Public Works before placing a unit in the street.

What should Downey customers know before delivery?
Downey customers should plan for summer heat and long back-yard rolls. Whittier-area August highs average about 86°F, so big July to September events should add a mid-event service or a deodorizer boost. Units must sit within 15 feet of the truck, or we use the driveway.
- Shade helps: place units on the north side of a garage or wall.
- Keep a 4-foot clear path for the hand truck.
- Ask for plywood pads to protect pavers or a lawn.

Can the trailer plug into my garage outlet?
Yes, if a standard 15/20-amp outlet is within 100 feet. You also need a garden hose or we use the onboard fresh tank.
Can you pick up on Sunday after my Saturday party?
We do not work Sundays. We pick up Monday, and the extra day costs nothing.
