Berkeley is an Alameda County city on the east bay slope, home to the University of California, Berkeley campus. A call to (888) 351-0294 reaches a local provider who delivers, services and removes the units, and a technician plans each placement around campus access and the street the unit will sit on.
Berkeley's flats hold dense older housing close to the university, and the hills above have narrow streets, brown-shingle houses and steep driveways. A unit on a flat lot can often sit in the driveway or along the curb. A hill site usually means the truck stops on the lower street and the unit is carried up, so the placement is decided by the grade as much as by the lot.
The Hayward Fault runs along the base of the hills, through the campus and the stadium, and a long program of campus and seismic construction keeps temporary restroom work steady. Berkeley's street and campus work is arranged with the city, not with San Francisco, so the first call should name the exact spot. Street fairs on Telegraph and Solano add short bursts of demand.
Campus and seismic construction keeps crews on site for long stretches, which brings California's job-site toilet rule into play.
A long campus or seismic program needs units that stay in place, with service visits on a set schedule rather than a one-time drop.
Campus events and street fairs with several units need at least one accessible unit with a route from the street.
The Telegraph and Solano street fairs need units placed along the closed blocks, with the walking route to them kept clear.
Campus and stadium events draw crowds that need units staged near the gates and the main walking routes.
Narrow hill streets and steep driveways are where the truck stops on the lower street and the unit is carried up.
Local weather drives activity here: heat, humidity and rain change what shows up week to week.
Berkeley's flats hold dense older housing close to the university, and many of those lots are narrow, with a driveway or a side path down one edge. A unit on a flat lot can often sit in the driveway or along the curb. A technician checks whether the driveway is wide enough for the truck to stop beside it, and whether the unit can be set without blocking a neighbor's access.
Narrow lots raise a different question, which is how the unit reaches the spot. A side path with a gate, a step or a tight turn can take a standard unit only so far, and the crew may have to carry it the last stretch. The technician plans that route before the delivery day, because a unit that cannot be moved to its spot cannot be set.
The hills above Berkeley have narrow streets, brown-shingle houses and steep driveways, and they sit in a high fire-hazard zone. A truck can often stop on the lower street, with the unit carried up from there. The technician chooses that lower stop with the grade and the carry in mind, since a steep drive adds risk for the crew on every trip.
Clear access matters on the hills for more than the delivery. A unit that narrows a hill lane can get in the way of anyone who needs to use that lane, so the technician checks the width at the placement and keeps the unit back from the travel path. That kind of planning keeps a hill job from becoming a problem for the whole street.
The University of California, Berkeley campus and its stadium sit along the foot of the hills, with the Hayward Fault running through them. A long program of campus and seismic construction keeps temporary restroom work steady across town. Crews on these jobs stay on site for long stretches, so the unit is placed as a long-term installation rather than as a single drop.
A campus job also has layers of access. Contractors, university staff and the public may need different routes to the same units, and the placement has to keep the accessible route clear. The technician checks the route with the crew and asks for it to be marked on the site plan, so the units stay reachable as the building work changes the paths around them.
Street fairs on Telegraph and Solano bring a crowd onto closed blocks for a day or a weekend. Units need to sit at the edge of the crowd area, on the curb or in a service lane, with a clear path that leads people to them. A unit placed in the middle of a crowd route becomes a bottleneck, so the technician keeps it to the side.
The organizer shares the closure hours and the route first, and the technician plans the units around them. Count the expected crowd, the hours it will stay, and whether food is served. Those three facts decide the number of units and whether an accessible unit with a route from the street is needed. The closure itself is arranged by the organizer with the city, so the placement is set once that closure is confirmed.

Usually, yes, but the placement is arranged with the city, not with San Francisco. A technician will tell you what that involves for your block and whether the curb can take a unit safely.
Tell the provider the nearest spot a truck can stop, how many steps or how far the driveway runs, and whether the drive is steep. The unit is carried the rest of the way, and the delivery is planned from that information.
Campus work and events are arranged with the university and the city. A technician can tell you which office to contact for a placement on campus land, since the arrangement depends on the exact spot.
California's rule sets the accessible share of a cluster at 5 percent, but no fewer than one. Any bank of units needs one accessible unit with the International Symbol of Accessibility marked on it, reached by a route from the street.
Call the number at the top of this page and describe the job, the number of units, the nearest spot a truck can reach, and the dates. A technician confirms the delivery day and placement with you, and no arrival time is promised on the call.
