DVBE Certified Portable Restroom Contractor in Los Angeles
What Is DVBE Certification?
DVBE stands for Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise. It is a certification program administered by the State of California through the Department of General Services (DGS) and the Office of Small Business and DVBE Services (OSDS). To earn DVBE certification, a business must be at least 51 percent owned and operated by one or more disabled veterans. The veteran owner must have a service-connected disability as verified by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Tinkle Town holds DVBE certification because founder Pete Belcastro is a disabled veteran of the United States Navy SeaBees who maintains full ownership and operational control of the company. This is not a paper certification — it reflects who we are and how we operate.
Why DVBE Certification Matters for Your Project
California state law requires that at least 3 percent of the total dollar amount of state contracts be awarded to DVBE-certified businesses. Many local governments, school districts, universities, and public agencies in the Los Angeles area follow similar procurement goals. Additionally, an increasing number of private general contractors and corporations have adopted voluntary DVBE participation targets as part of their supplier diversity programs.
When you hire Tinkle Town for your portable restroom needs, you are directly contributing to your DVBE procurement goals. Every dollar spent with Tinkle Town counts toward your DVBE participation percentage, whether you are a government agency fulfilling a state mandate or a private company strengthening its supplier diversity metrics.
DVBE Compliance Made Easy
We understand that procurement teams need proper documentation. Tinkle Town provides all necessary DVBE certification documentation upon request, including:

Our premium restroom trailers with private suites are unlike anything else in the Los Angeles portable sanitation market. Our standard units are maintained to a higher standard than most competitors' premium offerings. And our service reliability — delivery, pickup, maintenance, emergency response — reflects the military discipline that Pete Belcastro brought from his Navy SeaBee career.
