A rental from Schmidt Porta Potty Rental covers more than the unit itself. Delivery, placement, routine servicing, and pickup are all part of what you are booking. Every unit goes out fully stocked with toilet paper and hand sanitizer. Servicing visits include a complete pump-out, cleaning, sanitizing, deodorizing, and a full restock, so the unit stays in good shape from the first day to the last. The price is confirmed on the phone before anything is scheduled, and we explain what it covers before you commit to anything.
What the rental does not include is guesswork on your end. When you call, we ask about the job, the site, and how long you need units in place. From there we recommend a count, a unit type, and a service schedule that fits. Whether you are coordinating sanitation for a large public event, managing a crew through a multi-week renovation, or planning a backyard celebration, we size the order around what the situation actually calls for. Call (464) 266-9289 and we will get you a free quote.
Fundraisers and community events tend to run on tight budgets and tighter timelines, and the sanitation plan is often one of the last things confirmed. A modest unit count, well-placed and reliably serviced, handles most of these events without overcomplicating the logistics. If the event is on school or church grounds, we can talk through placement that keeps foot traffic moving and units accessible without getting in the way of the event itself.
Exterior renovation crews need sanitation on site from the first morning of work. OSHA's sanitation standard (29 CFR 1926.51) sets the baseline: one toilet covers up to 20 workers, and above that the count scales with crew size. For longer projects, a consistent service schedule keeps the unit clean without anyone on the crew having to think about it. We handle the service visits and the pickup when the job wraps.
Large outdoor events in Skokie generate real sanitation demand, and the unit count matters more than most organizers expect before their first event. The starting point is one restroom per 50 guests for events running up to about four hours. Longer events and events with alcohol service push that count higher. A mix of standard units, ADA-accessible restrooms, and hand-wash stations covers most public event setups, and restroom trailers are an option when the occasion calls for a more polished guest experience.
Parade routes and civic events present a specific placement challenge: sanitation needs to be accessible along a corridor rather than concentrated in one spot, and placement on or near a public right-of-way sometimes involves a permit. Requirements vary by location. We confirm what applies at your address before anything is scheduled so the placement is handled correctly from the start.
Private gatherings on residential property are some of the most common bookings we take. A graduation party or family reunion with a few dozen guests typically needs one or two units, and a deluxe flushable restroom is worth considering when guests expect something closer to an indoor experience. ADA-accessible units are available for any private event where accessibility matters to the people attending.
Recreational facilities with spread-out grounds need units positioned where the activity is, not just at the entrance. Standard units handle most of this work, but hand-sanitizer stations placed at key points across the property add a layer of convenience for guests moving between areas. We can talk through placement at multiple points on a single site when the call comes in.
The call does not need to be long. What moves it along is knowing roughly what you are planning: the type of event or job, the number of people involved, how long the rental needs to run, and the address where the units will be placed. If you are not sure about the unit count yet, that is fine. We will ask the right questions and work through it with you.
For events, it helps to know whether alcohol will be served, whether the event runs longer than four hours, and whether any guests will need ADA-accessible facilities. For construction or renovation sites, the crew size and expected project duration are the two most useful pieces of information. We use those to recommend a count and a service frequency, and we confirm the price before anything is booked.
The sooner you call, the sooner we get units on site. Availability fills up around popular event weekends and during active construction seasons, so calling ahead gives you the most flexibility on delivery timing.
Pricing is not a fixed number pulled from a chart. It reflects the unit type, the number of units, how long the rental runs, and how often the units need to be serviced. A single standard unit on a one-day backyard event is a straightforward booking. A multi-week construction rental with daily high-traffic use and a mixed unit lineup is a different calculation entirely.
Servicing frequency is one of the bigger variables. Routine servicing runs about twice a week for typical use, but high-traffic sites get more frequent visits. Adding visits to a schedule changes the cost, and removing them when a site is lightly used can bring it down. Holding tanks, hand-wash stations, and specialty units like restroom trailers each carry their own rate. None of that is hidden. Ask what the quote covers and you get a straight answer.
Local accountability means we earn the next rental by doing this one right. That is how we approach every booking, and it starts with a price that is clear before the first unit leaves.
Same-day delivery is available for Skokie when the schedule allows, and next-day delivery is the standard window for most bookings placed before the end of the day. Weekend and holiday delivery is available for events that fall outside the regular workweek. For large events and multi-unit construction setups, booking a week or more in advance gives the most flexibility on timing and unit availability.
When the units arrive, a local operator handles placement at the location you specify. Units are positioned where they need to be and confirmed ready before the delivery is complete. If placement on a public surface or near a right-of-way is part of the plan, we talk through any permit considerations on the call before delivery is scheduled. At the end of the rental, pickup is handled on a schedule that works for you. We'll be there with clean units.
Some situations do not follow a schedule. Flooding, storm damage, and other emergencies can displace residents or knock out infrastructure without warning, and sanitation needs to be in place quickly when that happens. We handle emergency and disaster-relief deployments for exactly these situations, including rapid placement of portable restrooms and shower trailers for relief staging areas.
When a call comes in for emergency service, we move as fast as the current schedule allows and confirm a realistic delivery window on the call. The same full-service approach applies: units arrive stocked, servicing runs on a schedule, and pickup happens when the situation resolves. Call us and we'll size the order with you.
A crew working through a multi-month exterior project needs sanitation that holds up to daily heavy use and gets serviced consistently. Standard portable restrooms are the workhorse for this kind of work, and the service schedule scales with crew size. For larger sites, adding a unit with an interior hand sink removes the need for a separate hand-wash station and keeps the footprint compact.
A wedding on private ground calls for something different from a standard porta potty. Deluxe flushable restrooms with a foot-pump flush and fresh-water sink are the event-grade option for occasions where the guest experience matters. Restroom trailers with running water, climate control, and interior lighting are available when the event calls for something closer to a permanent facility. The service page carries the full unit comparison if you want to work through the options before calling.
Any event open to the public should include at least one ADA-accessible portable restroom. For larger events, the guideline is roughly one ADA unit for every 20 units in the total order. ADA and standard units for any size event means no guest is left without a practical option, and we can talk through the right mix when you call.
We serve Skokie and the surrounding Cook County communities, including Lincolnwood, Evanston, Morton Grove, Golf, and Wilmette. If your event or site falls somewhere in that area, coverage is not a question. Call us and we will confirm delivery at your address and get the order on the calendar.
Yes. Sites with spread-out grounds can have units placed at multiple points rather than in a single location, and we talk through the placement plan on the call before delivery is scheduled. Hand-sanitizer stations can be added at additional points across the property where a full unit is not needed. Call us with the layout and we will put together an order that covers the whole site.
There is no requirement to separate units by gender, and most event and job-site setups use a shared bank of units. If the event format or the organizer's preference calls for designated units, we can accommodate that. Call us and we will work through the layout with you.
Each visit covers a full pump-out of the waste tank, cleaning and sanitizing the interior, deodorizing, and restocking toilet paper and hand sanitizer. The unit is left clean and ready for use before the crew moves on.
If access is blocked and a service visit cannot be completed, call us so we can reschedule. Whether a charge applies in that situation is something to ask about when the order is placed, since it depends on the circumstances.
Yes, units can be moved if the site layout changes. Call us to arrange the relocation and we will schedule it during a service visit or as a separate trip, depending on how quickly you need the move made.
Call us and we can discuss what records are available for your account. Many contractors and property managers need documentation for their own records or for compliance purposes, and that is a reasonable thing to ask about when the order is placed.
Yes. Servicing frequency is set when the order is placed, but it can be increased if traffic is higher than expected. Call us and we will adjust the schedule to match what the site actually needs.
Calling as early as possible gives you the most flexibility, especially for large orders or peak weekends. Same-day delivery is available when the schedule allows, but earlier notice makes it easier to confirm the exact timing you need.
Yes. If the project runs longer than planned or the event stretches past the original rental period, call us and we will work out an extension. Pricing for the additional time is confirmed on the call before anything is changed.
Restroom trailers can be delivered to private residential properties when there is adequate access for the delivery vehicle and a suitable surface for placement. Access requirements and surface conditions are confirmed on the call before the order is booked. If the property has any constraints, we will work through them with you and recommend the right unit for the space. Call us and we'll size the order with you.
It does. When alcohol is being served, plan to add roughly 10 to 20 percent more units to whatever count you would otherwise order. Higher fluid intake increases restroom traffic significantly, and running short creates a real problem once guests are on site.
Call Schmidt Porta Potty Rental at (464) 266-9289 between 8:30 AM and 9:00 PM any day. We will ask about the job, the site, and the timeline. By the end of the call, you will have a unit count, a service schedule, and a confirmed price. Event service. Job-site service. One number for both.

| A practical choice when you want handwashing built into the restroom rather than handled by a separate stand-alone station nearby. |
| Deluxe Flushable Restroom | Outdoor weddings, graduation parties, upscale gatherings |
| When a standard unit would feel out of place, this is the step up. Works well alongside restroom trailers on larger events that need a mix of unit types. |

| Designed specifically for high-rise and multi-story builds across the Chicago metro where workers need access without a trip to ground level. |
| Crane-Hoistable Unit | Elevated work decks, rooftop construction, high-rise builds |
| The right call when the work deck is elevated and there is no elevator access. Keeps the crew from losing time making trips down to a lower level. |
| Trailer-Mounted Single Unit | Remote sites, frequently relocated jobs, rural properties |
| A practical solution when the job moves or when a site is too remote or irregular for a standard drop placement. |
| Restroom Trailer, 2-Station | Small weddings, private parties, intimate gatherings |
| A compact trailer that fits where a large multi-stall unit would be too much. Works well for events of 75 to 150 guests depending on event length. |
| Restroom Trailer, Multi-Station | Festivals, large weddings, corporate outdoor events, 5K races |
| High-traffic events benefit from the throughput a multi-stall trailer provides. Call us with your attendance estimate and we will recommend the right stall count. |
| Luxury / VIP Wedding Restroom Trailer | Upscale weddings, VIP sections, corporate galas, film productions |
| When the event's presentation matters as much as the logistics, these trailers deliver a guest experience that standard units cannot. Available for full event setups or VIP areas only. |
| ADA Restroom Trailer | Large events requiring accessible trailer facilities |
| The right choice when a large event needs ADA compliance in a trailer format. Pairs alongside standard restroom trailers to cover the full range of guest needs. |

| A strong addition to any order where food is served or where hygiene is a priority. Arrives stocked and ready to use alongside the restroom units. |
| Hand-Sanitizer Station | Event entrances, high-traffic walkways, indoor-outdoor transitions |
| Useful at entry points and anywhere guests move between areas. Works as a supplement to hand-wash stations rather than a replacement when soap and water are available. |
| Holding Tank | Remote properties, farms, pipeline sites, off-grid locations |
| We pump and service the holding tanks we place. This is not septic-tank service. It covers the portable sanitation equipment we deliver and maintain. |
| Spill-Containment Tray | Indoor placements, sensitive flooring, warehouse and facility events |
| A practical add-on when a unit is placed on a surface that cannot tolerate any moisture. Often required for indoor placements or events on finished floors. |
