An infill crew has no room on the lot for a unit and needs one at the curb, which is public space.
What we do
The site plan shows the unit with its location and dimensions beside the hydrant and the tree box, and the public space permit is filed before the delivery day.
What to expect
The unit is placed only at the approved spot, and the crew uses it from the first working day.
Permit filed ahead of delivery, servicing on the crew's working days typical visit
A food area on a closed downtown block has a long queue and no place for visitors to wash their hands between the stalls and the units.
What we do
The count is set for the busiest hour, the units are placed at the ends of the closed block and a handwash station is placed at the exit of the food area.
What to expect
The queue moves, the units stay usable, and the food area has a station where visitors can clean up.
Set-up the morning of the event, visits timed for the peak hours, removal after close typical visit
A community picnic on Parks land has no restroom, and the Department does not provide portable toilets.

The event has restrooms on approved ground, and the lawn is left as the permit requires.
Delivery the day before, servicing during the event, collection the next morning typical visit

What to expect
