The rules that set your unit count
California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 1526 - Toilets at Construction Jobsites
“A minimum of one separate toilet facility shall be provided for each 20 employees or fraction thereof of each sex.”8 CCR 1526(a)
“The number of toilets shall not be less than one half of the minimum required number of facilities.”8 CCR 1526
California requires one toilet facility for every 20 workers, or any fraction of 20, counted separately for each sex. Because the ratio is applied per sex rather than to the crew as a whole, California job sites routinely need close to double the units that federal OSHA would require for the same headcount.
Commonly got wrong: Most contractors and most competitor websites apply the 1-per-20 ratio to total headcount. Cal/OSHA applies it per sex. A 30-person crew split evenly needs two units, not one - and that difference is exactly what gets cited in an inspection.

Sewage Pumping Vehicles and Chemical Toilets - Onsite Wastewater Treatment Program
In Los Angeles County, the companies that pump and haul portable toilet waste must hold an annual Public Health Permit. The Environmental Health Division's Onsite Wastewater Treatment Program issues those permits and inspects the pumper trucks. County code requires chemical toilets to be kept sanitary and requires waste to be disposed of at an approved sewage treatment plant.

Permits for portable toilets in West Hollywood
A valid film permit from the West Hollywood Film Office is required for all shoots on public and private property, and applications must be submitted at least three business days in advance. Separately, an encroachment permit is required if any portion of a street, alley, or public right-of-way is used for construction-related activity. Both lead times have to be built into a delivery schedule.
The rule of thumb: if any part of the unit sits on a street, sidewalk, or alley, you need a permit. If it sits entirely on private property, you generally do not. West Hollywood is the city where it most often does not.

Why porta potty rental works differently in West Hollywood
Dense 1920s-1930s Spanish revival and Art Deco multifamily with very little off-street space. Buildings sit close to the lot line, so on-property placement is frequently impossible and street placement with a permit is the default rather than the exception. That is the single biggest constraint on where a unit can actually sit in West Hollywood - not the truck, and not the schedule.
Work around Sunset Strip and Santa Monica Boulevard corridor runs differently from work near Sunset Strip and Pacific Design Center. Curb space is the scarce resource. A placement that would be trivial in South Gate becomes a permit application and a staging plan here.
Local conditions matter more than most vendors admit: marine influence, milder than the inland corridor, mild summer highs relative to southeast LA, Santa Ana wind events affecting unit stability on exposed sites. Conditions here are mild, but exposed placements still need securing during Santa Ana wind events.
