The standard unit is the backbone of construction sites, outdoor festivals, and general events across Cicero. It includes a non-flush toilet, urinal, ventilation, and toilet paper, and every unit arrives fully stocked with paper and sanitizer so your crew or guests are covered from the first minute.
When workers or guests want on-unit handwashing without stepping up to a full trailer, this is the right call. It adds a simple interior hand sink to everything the standard unit offers, making it a practical choice for food-service events or sites where hygiene expectations run a little higher.
The deluxe unit is our event-grade step up. It features a foot-pump flush, a fresh-water sink, and a mirror, giving guests a noticeably cleaner experience at weddings, corporate gatherings, and upscale outdoor events. If you want restrooms that match the occasion, this is the unit to ask about.
Any event or job site that needs to meet accessibility requirements should include at least one ADA unit. These feature ground-level entry, grab bars, and a roomy interior designed for wheelchair users and guests with mobility needs. We carry ADA and standard units for any size event, so you can build a compliant lineup without sourcing from multiple vendors.
For weddings, festivals, and large corporate events, restroom trailers offer a level of comfort that standalone units simply cannot match. We carry a range from compact two-station trailers up to large multi-station configurations, including upscale and wedding-grade models with climate control, running water, and interior lighting. ADA-accessible trailer options with a lowering chassis and ramp are also available for events that require full accessibility.
Shower trailers and combination units are the right fit for disaster relief operations, remote job sites, extended outdoor events, and campsite setups where workers or guests need more than restroom access. We can configure standalone shower trailers or combination units depending on your site's needs.
Standalone hand-wash and hand-sanitizer stations can supplement any unit lineup at events or construction sites. They are an easy add-on when foot traffic is high or when you want extra hygiene coverage near food stations, entry points, or high-use areas.
Sites without a sewer connection need a holding tank to keep waste contained between service visits. We offer holding tanks sized for extended rentals, and spill-containment trays are available as an add-on for sites where secondary containment is a requirement.
For high-rise and multi-floor projects across Cicero and the broader Cook County area, we offer crane-hoistable units and elevator-fit rolling units that move between floors as the work progresses. These are built specifically for vertical construction where standard ground-level placement is not an option.
We've served this area long enough to know what each event needs, and sizing is one of the questions we hear most. The numbers below are solid starting points, but every situation is a little different.
Plan on at least one restroom per 50 guests for an event running up to about four hours. For longer events, add more units to account for the extended use. If alcohol is being served, budget an additional 10 to 20 percent on top of your base count. Every event should include at least one ADA-accessible unit, and on larger setups, plan for roughly one ADA unit for every 20 units in the lineup.
OSHA's sanitation standard (29 CFR 1926.51) is the baseline for job sites. As a practical guide, one toilet covers up to 20 workers. Above that, plan on one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers up to 200 workers, and per 50 workers beyond that. These ratios keep you compliant and keep your crew working without unnecessary stops.
Call us and we'll size the order with you based on your headcount, site layout, and schedule.
When the units arrive, you can cross one worry off the list. Our experienced local crew handles delivery and placement so the units land exactly where you need them. From there, we take care of everything: pump-out, cleaning, sanitizing, deodorizing, and restocking paper and soap on a routine schedule. For typical use, that means servicing roughly twice a week, and we scale up the frequency when traffic is heavier.
At the end of your rental, we come back and pick everything up. There is nothing left for you to manage.
We handle both short-term event rentals and long-term construction or job-site rentals on weekly and monthly schedules. For urgent needs, same-day and weekend delivery is available. Whether your project runs for a single afternoon or several months, the service cycle stays consistent. We're here when you need restrooms.
Our customers come to us from every corner of Cook County and every kind of project. General contractors and construction crews rely on us for consistent job-site coverage. Event planners and wedding coordinators count on us for units that show up clean and on time. Homeowners hosting backyard gatherings, corporate event teams managing large outdoor functions, festival and concert organizers, film production crews, disaster relief coordinators, and agricultural or remote-site operators all use our services regularly.
We serve Cicero and the nearby communities of Berwyn, Oak Park, Stickney, Forest Park, Chicago, and Lyons. As a family-owned and operated business, we know these neighborhoods because we live and work in them. Local accountability means we earn the next rental by doing this one right.
Our customers come back because we make the logistics easy. Pricing depends on the unit type, the number of units, the length of the rental, and how often you need servicing. We do not publish a fixed rate sheet because a single-day backyard event and a three-month job site have very different needs, and we would rather give you an accurate number than a generic one.
What we can tell you is that we offer affordable options for small events and scaled pricing for long-term job-site rentals. Every quote is free, and there is no obligation to book. Pick the units. Pick the date. We handle the rest.
Call (464) 266-9289 and we will walk through the details with you.
Every unit we deliver goes out fully stocked with toilet paper and hand sanitizer before it leaves our yard. You do not need to arrange supplies separately or check the units before your guests or crew arrive. If you run low between scheduled service visits, give us a call and we will take care of it.
We are based in Cicero and deliver throughout Cook County, including Berwyn, Oak Park, Stickney, Forest Park, Riverside, Lyons, and the near-west side neighborhoods of Chicago that border our area.

Most of the time, if you are in or near Cook County, we can get units to you.
A good starting point is at least one restroom per 50 guests for an event running up to about four hours. If your event runs longer, or if alcohol is being served, add roughly 10 to 20 percent more units to account for increased use. Every event should include at least one ADA-accessible unit, and we are happy to walk through the exact count with you when you call.
OSHA's sanitation standard (29 CFR 1926.51) is the right baseline. One toilet covers up to 20 workers, and above that you should plan on one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers up to 200 workers. Call us with your crew size and site layout and we will help you build a compliant order.
Yes, and that is actually how most larger events and job sites are set up. We carry the full range of units and you can combine any of them on one order. One call covers the whole lineup, and we coordinate delivery and servicing for everything together.
Every event should include at least one ADA-accessible unit as a baseline, and for larger setups we recommend planning for roughly one ADA unit for every 20 units in your lineup. Beyond the practical need, many public events and permitted gatherings require accessible facilities. We carry ADA and standard units for any size event, so adding one to your order is straightforward.
It helps to know your delivery address, the date you need units on site, how long the rental will run, and a rough headcount or crew size. If you have a preferred placement spot or any site access details, those are useful too. You do not need to have everything figured out before you call. We will ask the right questions and put together a quote from there.
We give you a quote during the call in most cases. We do not put you through a lengthy process or make you wait for a callback. Call (464) 266-9289, tell us what you need, and we will walk through the pricing with you right then.
Yes. We regularly deliver to parks, fairgrounds, festival grounds, sports fields, and event venues throughout Cicero and Cook County. If the venue has specific delivery windows, access restrictions, or placement requirements, let us know when you call and we will plan around them.

Schmidt Porta Potty Rental is proud to serve Cicero and the surrounding Cook County communities with clean, reliable portable restroom rentals for every kind of project and event. One phone call gets you a free, no-pressure quote tailored to your exact needs.

Event service. Job-site service. One number for both.
Every job is different, and the right unit makes a real difference in how smoothly things run.

How many portable restrooms do I need for my event?
A reliable starting point is at least one restroom per 50 guests for an event running up to about four hours. If your event runs longer, add more units to account for the extended use. When alcohol is being served, budget an additional 10 to 20 percent on top of your base count. Every event should include at least one ADA-accessible unit, and on larger setups, plan for roughly one ADA unit for every 20 units in the lineup. These are solid guidelines, but every event is a little different. Call us and we will work through the count with you.
How many units does a construction or job site need?
The baseline is OSHA's sanitation standard, 29 CFR 1926.51. As a practical guide, one toilet covers up to 20 workers. Above that, plan on one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers up to 200 workers, and per 50 workers beyond that. These ratios keep your site compliant and keep your crew working without unnecessary stops. Give us a call with your crew size and we will help you put together a compliant order.
What does routine servicing include, and how often does it happen?
Routine servicing covers the full cycle: pump-out, cleaning, sanitizing, deodorizing, and restocking paper and soap. For typical use, we schedule servicing roughly twice a week. When traffic is heavier, we scale up the frequency. You do not need to manage any of this yourself. We track the schedule and show up on time.
Units Delivered Fully Stocked
Every unit arrives with toilet paper and hand sanitizer already loaded. Your guests and crew are covered from the first minute, and we restock on every service visit.
What is the difference between a standard unit and a deluxe flushable restroom?
The standard unit is a non-flush toilet with a urinal, ventilation, and toilet paper. It is the workhorse of construction sites and everyday outdoor events. The deluxe flushable restroom adds a foot-pump flush mechanism, a fresh-water sink, and a mirror, giving guests a noticeably more comfortable experience. If the event calls for something that feels a step above a standard porta potty, the deluxe unit is the right conversation to have when you call.
When is a restroom trailer worth it for a wedding?
A restroom trailer is worth considering when you want your guests to have a comfortable, private experience that matches the tone of the event. Trailers offer flushing stalls, running water, interior lighting, and in some configurations, climate control and upscale finishes. For smaller weddings, a two-station trailer may be all you need. For larger receptions, a multi-station or luxury trailer makes more sense. We carry options across the range and can help you find the right fit for your venue and guest count.
Do the units arrive stocked with paper and sanitizer?
Yes. Every unit we deliver goes out fully stocked with toilet paper and hand sanitizer before it leaves our yard. You do not need to arrange supplies separately or check the units before your guests or crew arrive. If you run low between scheduled service visits, give us a call and we will take care of it.
Honest Advice on How Many Units You Need
We will walk through your headcount, event length, and site layout with you and give you a straight recommendation. No upselling, just the right count for your situation.
How much space and access does a delivery truck need?
Our delivery trucks need reasonable vehicle access to the placement area. A clear path wide enough for a standard service truck and a relatively level surface to set the unit are the basics. If your site has a tight entrance, a low overhead clearance, or any other access challenge, let us know when you call and we will plan around it. We deliver to parks, fairgrounds, construction sites, private properties, and event venues throughout the Cicero area regularly, so we are familiar with a wide range of site conditions.
What happens to the waste from the units you service?
Waste from the units we place and service is pumped out by our crew during routine servicing visits and disposed of properly at an approved waste facility. This is a standard part of every rental. We handle the full cycle from delivery through pickup, including all waste removal from the units we place. We do not pump septic tanks, residential systems, or any tank we did not place.
How far in advance should I book units?
For events with a set date, booking a few weeks out is a good idea, especially during busy spring and summer months in the Cook County area. For construction and job-site rentals, we can often accommodate shorter lead times. If you have an urgent need, same-day delivery is available in many cases. The sooner you call, the more flexibility we have to get the right units to your site on time.
ADA and Standard Units for Any Event
We carry the full range, from standard construction units to ADA-accessible restrooms and luxury trailers, so you can build a complete, compliant lineup from a single call.
What is the difference between a hand-wash station and a hand-sanitizer station?
A hand-wash station is a self-contained unit with a foot-pump mechanism, fresh water, soap, and paper towels. It provides a full handwashing experience and is the right choice near food-service areas or anywhere running water matters. A hand-sanitizer station uses a touch-free dispenser and requires no water hookup, making it easy to place at entrances, exits, or any high-traffic spot. Both can be added to any order, and many events use a combination of both.
Do I need to be on site when you deliver or pick up the units?
Not necessarily. If you can provide clear placement instructions and site access ahead of time, our crew can handle delivery and pickup without you being present. That said, being on site for delivery is helpful when placement details are specific or when access requires coordination. Let us know your situation when you call and we will figure out the simplest approach for your site.
Can I add more units after I have already booked?
Yes. If your headcount grows or your project expands, call us and we will work out the logistics of adding units to your existing order. The sooner you let us know, the easier it is to coordinate delivery of the additional units alongside your existing service schedule.
Every site and every event is a little different. Call us at (464) 266-9289 and we will help you pick the right units, figure out the right quantity, and get everything scheduled so you are covered from day one.
