Potty Girl became a WOSB-certified vendor out of Lafayette Parish 11 years ago.
We rent portable toilets, restroom trailers, shower trailers, and handwash stations for construction sites, industrial facilities, municipal projects, and emergency response jobs across Lafayette, Vermilion Parish, and South Louisiana.
Here's what that WOSB certification actually means when you're hiring us.
What WOSB certification means for your construction or industrial project?
A Woman-Owned Small Business certification lets corporations and government agencies count their work with Potty Girl toward their supplier diversity goals. About 85% of Fortune 500 companies now run formal supplier diversity programs, and dozens of them each spend over $1 billion annually with minority and women-owned suppliers through initiatives like the Billion Dollar Roundtable.
For a procurement team, diversity supplier, or project manager, that means one vendor can satisfy a compliance requirement and still deliver reliable, on-schedule service. It's not a marketing badge, but a certification that holds up when a contract gets reviewed.
How has Potty Girl put that certification to work?
When Hurricane Ida hit South Louisiana, we deployed portable toilets across three parishes for six months of relief work, keeping every unit serviced on schedule despite damaged roads and disrupted supply lines. Crews and residents needed a clean place to go while roads were torn up and supply lines were unreliable.
We later installed a restroom trailer multiple times on an Air Force base in Florida for long-term restoration and restroom remodeling projects. We are experienced with meeting strict government service windows and documentation requirements. Government jobs come with government rules, and there's no room for missing paperwork or a late service call.
Our WOSB status and our previous performance record are what got us in the door and kept us there.
Why does this matter right now for projects in Vermilion Parish and Acadiana?
Vermilion Parish is preparing for heavy remote job locations and coastal site activity. Coastal restoration work will be active across the parish, and major construction is planned near Pecan Island that will bring in a large workforce over the next several years.
Marine, aerospace, industrial, and construction projects need dependable jobsite sanitation in locations that may be a challenge to reach and require industrial-grade portable toilets and restroom trailers.
Procurement teams working on projects in this area need a vendor who can hand over insurance documentation, a W-9, and a real service history without slowing down a bid. That's where a local WOSB vendor like Potty Girl fits in.
