What a creative district rents
Bushwick's mix of production and building work drives a lot of the orders. Film and photo shoots working out of the warehouses need clean units on set fast, and construction converting those same buildings into studios and apartments keeps standard porta potties on job sites for months at a stretch. For a shoot or a nicer set, the deluxe flushing unit with its sink is the usual upgrade.
The neighborhood's calendar of open studios, mural festivals, and warehouse parties is where the rest of the fleet earns its keep. Those crowds want ADA accessible units and rows of handwashing stations to keep lines short, and when an event goes upscale, a gallery opening or a booked-out rooftop, the climate-controlled restroom trailer brings flushing stalls and running water that fit the room.
Placing between the loading docks
The industrial grid here means loading docks, roll-gates, and trucks all fighting for the same curb, so timing a drop matters. We set units clear of the dock doors and the delivery lanes, out of the way of a shoot's gear or a crew's staging. Many of these blocks have no driveway apron, so the unit goes curbside, and we scout the spot so it does not box in a working bay.
For a warehouse party or a street festival, placement often touches the sidewalk or the roadway, which can call for a right-of-way permit, so check with the city and the venue first. We group the units where the crowd flows and keep them off the mural walls and the entrances. Send the address and whether it is a set, a site, or an event and we will plan the drop.
The rhythm of shoots and seasons
Production and events keep Bushwick busy nearly year-round, with the studios booking through every season and the outdoor festival calendar swelling in the warmer months. Construction never really lets up either. When winter brings snow and hard freezes to the industrial blocks, we keep units serviced so a shoot does not lose a day and a crew does not lose a stop.
