Yes, Gardena Porta Pros outfits film sets with restroom trailers, standard units, generator power and handwashing stations, usually on a call sheet timeline under 72 hours. A single-day location shoot might need one deluxe flushable unit, while a multi-week production needs a full restroom trailer and backup power.
Depends on the crew size and how long you're parked. A 20-person crew running a single 10-hour day can usually get by with a couple of standard porta potties, but once you're past 20 people, OSHA 1926.51(c) calls for a toilet seat and urinal per additional 40 workers, and that math changes fast on a real call sheet. Most productions in Gardena skip the debate and go straight to a restroom trailer for cast and department heads, keeping standard units or a portable restroom bank for grip and electric. If you've got a wheelchair-using actor or crew member, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster, and it needs a 60 inch turning circle inside per section 304.3.1, plus a 32 inch clear door opening under section 404.2.3. We stock ADA accessible units for exactly this. Larger union productions often want a 4 stall or 8 stall trailer so cast and background don't share a line. If the shoot runs multiple locations across a week, our service areas page covers logistics for moving units between sites without losing a service day.
Water matters too. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) requires an adequate supply of potable water at any place of employment, which is why we pair restroom orders with a portable sink or full handwashing station rather than leaving crew to wash up in a bathroom sink meant for actors.
Pricing depends on unit type, rental length and whether you need a generator running lights alongside the restroom trailer. Below is what a typical film crew pays.
| Item | Day | Week | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard unit | $100-$350 | $130-$500 | fine for crew, not cast |
| ADA unit | $200-$400 | $240 and up | required if cast/crew need access |
| Deluxe flushable | $85-$1,200 | $150-$290 | closer to a real bathroom |
| Restroom trailer | $175-$2,500 | $1,650 and up | multi-stall, climate controlled |
| Delivery fee | $100-$500 | $150 and up | varies by distance and access |
A weekend shoot in Gardena often lands as its own flat rate rather than a day-times-two calculation, so ask for a weekend quote directly if your schedule is Friday call to Sunday wrap. For full breakdowns by unit and term, see porta potty rental cost, rental per day, or monthly porta potty rental if the production runs longer than four weeks. Trailer rentals scale differently than standard porta potty rental pricing, so check restroom trailer rental cost before locking a line item into the budget.
Deluxe and trailer units with interior lighting, climate control or flushing systems need power, and most film locations don't have an outlet where you're parking. We coordinate portable generator rental film crews rely on alongside restroom delivery, since running a trailer off a location's house power usually isn't allowed and can trip circuits shared with base camp gear. OSHA 1926.404(b)(1)(ii) requires ground fault circuit interrupter protection on construction and production sites using generator or shore power, which our crew sets up at delivery. If your unit list also includes production offices or wardrobe trailers, ask about a mobile office trailer on the same delivery run, or a temporary power pole if the shoot runs multiple days and needs sustained amperage beyond what a generator alone handles. A light tower rental on the same call often shares the same fuel and service schedule as the generator, which simplifies vendor coordination for the production office.
Gardena location shoots near Alondra Park, 2.0 miles west, or Lawndale, 3.1 miles west, fall inside our standard same-day delivery radius, and crews working closer to West Rancho Dominguez, 3.1 miles east, see the same turnaround. We also serve productions filming toward Hermosa Beach, 6.7 miles west, though drive time affects delivery fee tier.
Standard units can often be delivered next-day, but restroom trailers and generators need more lead time, especially on weekends when demand from other events peaks. For anything under 72 hours, call rather than email. If your schedule shifts last minute, our emergency porta potty rental service covers same-day gaps.
Yes. A luxury restroom trailer with separate cast and crew sections is common on scripted productions. Pair it with a 2 stall unit for smaller background crews to keep lines moving between takes.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery day. Check our porta potty permit requirements page and confirm with Gardena directly if your location isn't on private property.
Under OSHA 1926.51(c), crews between 20 and 200 workers need a toilet seat and urinal per 40 people, which for 50 crew works out to roughly two units minimum. Our how many porta potties guide walks through the math for larger call sheets.
A single standard unit plus a handwashing station covers a small crew under 20 people for one day. Add a portable sink if food service is on set, since 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels, not just sanitizer.
