Schmidt Porta Potty Rental is a family-owned, locally operated portable restroom rental company based right here in Cicero, Illinois. We started in 2021 with a simple idea: give contractors, event planners, and everyday homeowners in Cook County a reliable, no-hassle option for portable restroom rentals. Five years later, we are still here, still answering our own phone, and still showing up on time with clean units. We deliver, service, and pick up portable restrooms and sanitation equipment for events, job sites, and everything in between. Call us today for a free quote and let us get the right units on your site.
We carry ADA and standard units for any size event, which means you are not stuck piecing together a rental order from two different companies. Whether you need a single standard unit for a backyard project or a fleet of restroom trailers for a large outdoor wedding, we have the equipment and the experience to put the right setup together.
The standard portable restroom is the workhorse of the lineup. It includes a non-flush toilet, a urinal, toilet paper, and ventilation, and it handles construction sites and general outdoor events equally well. When your guests or crew expect a step up, our deluxe flushable restroom delivers a foot-pump flush, a fresh-water sink, a mirror, and an event-grade finish that looks and feels a cut above. Every unit arrives fully stocked with paper and sanitizer so there is nothing to scramble for on the day of your event.
Our ADA-accessible units feature ground-level entry, a roomy interior, and grab bars for safe, comfortable use. They are available on every rental order, whether you are setting up for a job site or a community festival. Pairing at least one accessible unit with your standard lineup is the right call for any gathering, and we make it easy to add one to your order.
Restroom trailers range from compact two-station units up to large multi-station configurations with running water, climate control, and interior lighting. For weddings, upscale outdoor receptions, or any event where guests expect more than a basic unit, our wedding-grade trailers set the right tone. We also carry ADA-accessible restroom trailers with a lowering chassis and ramp for full accessibility at larger events.
Standalone shower trailers and shower-restroom combination trailers are available for situations that call for more than restroom access alone. Think multi-day festivals, disaster relief deployments, remote work camps, and agricultural or farm worker sites where crews need a complete hygiene solution on location.
Standalone hand-wash stations and hand-sanitizer stations are available as add-ons to any restroom rental or as standalone equipment. They are a practical fit for outdoor events, construction sites, food-service areas, and any setting where easy hygiene access matters.
For sites with no sewer connection, holding tanks and spill-containment trays keep waste contained and the work area clean. If you are working on a remote site, an off-grid location, or a rural property without utility hookups, these are the practical solution that keeps your rental running without interruption.
We've served this area long enough to know what each event needs, and what each job site demands. Our customers range from general contractors managing multi-month builds to homeowners throwing a graduation party in the backyard. The needs are different, but the standard of service is the same.
General contractors, subcontractors, and building crews rely on us for dependable job-site sanitation. OSHA's sanitation standards (29 CFR 1926.51) require adequate restroom facilities on active construction sites, and we help you meet that requirement without the headache. As a rough 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 scale from there. Every site is a little different, so call us and we will size the order with you. We offer long-term and monthly rental options for projects that run weeks or months at a time.
Outdoor weddings, backyard graduation parties, block parties, festivals, concerts, 5K races, tailgates, and sporting events all share one thing: guests who need a clean, accessible restroom. For events up to about four hours, plan on at least one unit per 50 guests. Add roughly 10 to 20 percent more units when alcohol is being served, and always include at least one ADA-accessible unit in your lineup. For weddings and upscale receptions, our restroom trailers are the right call. Every event is a little different, so call us for a tailored recommendation and a free estimate.
When flood damage, storm response, or a FEMA deployment puts sanitation needs on a tight timeline, we are set up to move fast. We also serve hunting camps, remote agricultural sites, and campsites where permanent facilities are not an option. Same-day and emergency delivery is a real capability for us, not a marketing line. We're here when you need restrooms.
When the units arrive, you can cross one worry off the list. Every portable restroom we place is cleaned, sanitized, deodorized, and restocked before it leaves our yard. Routine servicing runs about twice a week for typical use and scales up with traffic at busier sites or events. Each service visit includes a full pump-out, interior cleaning and sanitizing, deodorizing, and a restock of paper and soap. We track our service schedules carefully so units stay fresh from the first day of your rental to the last. Call today and we are ready to roll.
We are not satisfied until you are. If a unit is not clean, a delivery runs into a problem, or something about your rental is not right, we want to know and we will make it right. That is not a policy statement printed on a form. It is how we operate every day. Local accountability means we earn the next rental by doing this one right.
Rental cost depends on the unit type, the number of units, the rental duration, and how often servicing is needed. We explain all of that upfront so there are no surprise fees when the invoice arrives. Every quote is free, and we walk you through the pricing before you commit to anything.
Pick the units. Pick the date. We handle the rest.
Our customers come back because we make the logistics easy. We are based in Cicero and serve the surrounding Cook County communities, including Berwyn, Oak Park, Forest Park, Stickney, Lyons, and Chicago. Wherever you are in the area, we can get units to your site and keep them serviced on schedule. We'll be there with clean units.
Yes. We are a family-owned and operated business based right here in Cicero, Illinois. When you call, you reach someone who knows this area personally and handles your rental directly. Local accountability means we earn the next rental by doing this one right.
Our own local crew handles every delivery, service visit, and pickup. These are people who work in and around Cicero and Cook County every day, and they take the same care on a routine service visit as they do on the initial delivery. You are not dealing with a rotating cast of unfamiliar faces.
If a unit is not clean, a delivery runs into a problem, or anything about your rental is not right, we want to know immediately. Call us at (464) 266-9289 and we will address it directly. We do not pass problems off or make you wait through a slow process. Getting it right is how we stay in business in a community where word travels.
We build flexibility into how we operate because events and job sites do not always go according to plan. Same-day and short-notice delivery is a real capability for us, not a marketing line. Call us as early as you can and we will do everything we can to accommodate the change.
Every unit is cleaned, sanitized, deodorized, and fully restocked before it goes out to a new rental. During a rental, each service visit includes a pump-out, interior cleaning, sanitizing, deodorizing, and a restock of paper and soap. We track our service schedules carefully so units stay in good condition from the first day of the rental to the last.
We keep it simple. You have our number, and we answer it. If something comes up during your rental, whether it is a service question, a change in schedule, or a concern about a unit, you call us and we handle it. We do not route you through automated systems or make you submit a request and wait.
We saw a real need for a reliable, locally accountable sanitation rental option in Cicero and the surrounding Cook County communities. A lot of customers were dealing with inconsistent service from companies that did not have a strong local presence. We started in 2021 with the straightforward goal of showing up on time with clean units and standing behind the work, and that is still what drives us.
We want to be the first call for portable restroom rentals across Cicero and Cook County for years to come. That means continuing to invest in the right equipment, keeping our service standards high, and building relationships with customers who come back because they know what to expect from us. We are not trying to be everything to everyone. We are trying to be the most reliable option in this area.

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.
