We started out searching for better restrooms for our wedding, now we’re the largest provider of luxury restrooms in the entire Northwest. And besides being the Northwest’s leader in service area and fleet size, we also take pride in leading the industry in sustainably green practices, ADA-compliance, staff training and certification, licensing and permitting, and protecting our clients’ privacy.

A Leader In Eco-Friendliness And Sustainability

Folks in the NW care about the environment, and we’re no different. We take pride in our commitment to being a leader in green, sustainable practices. From trailers to techniques to toilet paper, we’re the leaders in environmentally-responsible rental restrooms.

We’re Actually Conserving Water

It starts with our custom-designed restroom trailers: each flush is only 0.33 gallons, compared to ordinary toilets which consume a wasteful 1.5 gallons per flush. In fact, portable restrooms save 45 billion gallons of fresh water every year!

Only Approved Deodorizer Enzymes and Techniques

Add to that our use of environmentally friendly chemicals and techniques approved by the internationally recognized PSAI (Portable Sanitation Association International)—more on them later—and we have less impact on the environment that you do at home.

Making Events Accessible To Everyone—It’s The Law

You’ve heard of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), it covers everything from access to signage and helps ensure that events are accessible to everyone who wants to attend.
And true compliance is not just about access ramps: our fully ADA-compliant restroom trailers are the only ones in the Northwest. Ask us to show you; even the interiors are specifically designed for use by those in a wheelchair.

Certification By The PSAI Industry Group

We’re proud members of PSAI, the group that sets the professional standards and certifies portable restroom firms and employees. We have adopted all PSAI best practices and recommendations in our business.

An inauspicious beginning now means you’ve got a range of choices in quality outdoor restroom rentals.

Your business plays by the rules, and compliance in event planning is no different. It’ll give you peace of mind if you know that your vendors comply with applicable laws. And it can create significant liability for your firm if they do not. When it comes to sanitation facilities for your event, it’s particularly important.
In everything from licensing and permitting requirements, to regulations on the handling and transportation of waste, to offering facilities that are accessible for all your guests, you’ll want to ensure your vendor is fully compliant. Here’s what you should check and how you should do it.

Valid Licenses And Permits

Depending on your local jurisdiction, a number of types of licenses and permits may be required to operate any business—not just a portable sanitation provider.

Business Licensing

In most areas, for-profit businesses are required to have a business license and can face severe consequences if found to be operating without one. However, often the permits are expensive and less-than-reputable businesses choose to go without. And, all too often they get away with it because governments simply don’t have the money for enforcement.

State Business Registration

An even simpler requirement that is often neglected is business registration with the Secretary of State in each state where a firm intends to conduct business. Yet it’s surprising how often vendors don’t even bother.

‘Over The Road’ Permits And Inspections

There are a variety of licenses, certifications, and inspections required of commercial equipment on the road. The federal Department of Transportation requires annual safety inspections on all commercial vehicles over 10,000 pounds, and the certification sticker that comes from passing their inspection. Further, the law requires that drivers maintain a hard copy of the inspection in their vehicle’s file for a period of 14 months.
There may be additional requirements for commercial vehicles, depending on the laws in your local jurisdiction.

Legal Handling Of Waste

The proper and legal handling of waste require additional licenses and permits. At a minimum, your vendor must be certified by the federal Department of Environmental Quality as a sewage hauler.
Best practices in the industry are established by the Portable Sanitation International Association (PSAI). Ask your vendor if they’re a member of this prestigious professional group.

Providing Fully Accessible Facilities

As an event planning professional, you’re probably quite familiar with the requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). Making your event accessible for everyone is not just good planning, it’s the law.
A critical place to ensure accessiblility is in your event’s restroom facilities. Be sure to ask your portable restroom supplier if they offer fully ADA-compliant restrooms. At Luxury Restroom Trailers, we’re proud to be the first supplier in the Northwest to offer a variety of fully ADA-compliant restrooms.

Dealing With A Truly Professional Vendor

When choosing vendors to supply your events, you want to work with ‘above-board’, professional  businesses. One of the best ways you can assess what kind of a business you’re dealing with is to ask to see their permits, licenses, and proof of sufficient liability insurance. (They should carry at least $1,000,000 of general liability insurance).
Vendors who are not fully licensed may actually represent a legal liability for your business, should you decide to engage them. Not only will good vendors be more than happy to show you their licenses, they’ll be happy you did. They know the extra costs they bear to run a legitimate and safe business and welcome customers who know the difference!
At Luxury Restroom Trailers, we’re proud be the Northwest’s leaders in portable restrooms for every event. We’re 100% licensed and certified in both Oregon and Washington; we’re members of the PSIA; add to that the area’s largest fleet and largest service area, and you have the professional vendor you’re looking for!
 

Event planning professionals know this: everyone likes to eat. And what better place to show your creativity and kick your event “up a notch” than with the table settings? Here are a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing!

A Special Post Format

Often when we write posts, we are trying to convey our experience to help our readers. Since this post is all about ideas for table settings, we’re just going to present great ideas we’ve seen! You decide what fits with your event, your attendees, and your budget.

More Traditional Table Settings

Like this beautiful Victorian example, many event planners opt for a traditional approach to table decorations. In some cases, it’s the nature of the event; in others, the event professional understands the attendee demographics and knows what’s best for the group.

Some Less Common Ideas

At times it makes sense to align the table setting with the type of food being offered. Here is an example of a Japanese-themed setting, and a spread for Mardi Gras!
