Yes. Cathedral City ZIPs 92234 and 92235 are about 40 minutes from our Beaumont yard by I-10 east, then Date Palm Drive. Cathedral City rides our scheduled desert route, so book 2–3 days ahead. Same-day is possible only when a truck is already heading to the Coachella Valley that day.

Does Cathedral City need a permit for an event with portable toilets?
Cathedral City handles event approvals through a Special Use Permit from its Planning Department. The city asks for the request at least 60 days before the event. Town Square events are for nonprofit groups only, and carnivals and circuses are not allowed there. Call Planning at 760-770-0344 with questions.
Find the forms on the Cathedral City Planning Department page. Rules can change, so confirm with your permit office before you set a date. We send a written quote you can attach to your application.
How do I keep a porta potty usable in a 107°F Cathedral City July?
Cathedral City averages 107.6°F in July, about 11 degrees hotter than Beaumont. A sealed plastic unit in direct sun gets hot inside fast. Put the unit in shade if you can, face the door north or east, and add a mid-week service for crews over 10 workers from June through September.
Job sites also need water and shade for the crew. The Cal/OSHA heat illness rule (8 CCR §3395) sets shade above 80°F and high-heat steps at 95°F. A handwash station next to the toilet gives workers a place to cool their hands and rinse off dust.
Need a unit in Cathedral City this week?
Call (951) 580-3899. We'll put you on the next desert route day and text you the window.
Can you service a job site toilet along Highway 111 in Cathedral City?
Yes. Highway 111 runs past the Cathedral City Auto Center, home to 9 dealerships. Remodel and commercial job-site porta potties get 1 service visit a week at no extra charge on our desert route day. Cal/OSHA §1526 sets 1 toilet per 20 workers of each sex.
Billing runs in 28-day cycles from the delivery date. Read the rule itself in Cal/OSHA §1526 or see our construction site toilet page.
Will wind through the Pass delay my Cathedral City delivery?
Sometimes, by a few minutes. Our trucks cross the San Gorgonio Pass on I-10, where advisories bring 50–60 mph gusts and blowing dust. A loaded truck slows down in that wind. We build it into the window we text you, and the driver still texts about 30 minutes before arriving.
Units on open dirt lots in Cathedral City get ground stakes, the same as in Beaumont. Read more in our wind and heat placement guide.
