Some rentals get planned weeks or months ahead. A construction project with a firm start date, a festival that goes on the calendar in January, a wedding reception booked for the following summer. Those are straightforward to schedule, and we handle them without any urgency on either side. Cicero Porta Potty Company takes those calls, confirms the units, and locks in the delivery date well in advance.
Others cannot wait. A remodel runs longer than expected and the only bathroom in the house is out of commission. A pop-up event gets permitted on short notice. A job site adds workers and needs more capacity by the end of the week. We take those calls too.
Whatever the timeline looks like in Evanston, call us at (464) 266-9289 and we will figure out what fits the schedule.
Evanston generates a real mix of rental situations. A city of this size runs construction projects, community events, and private gatherings at the same time, often in the same week. The unit that makes sense for a multi-week residential build is not the same one that belongs at an outdoor wedding reception, and the unit that works for a food truck rally is not what a high-rise crew needs on an upper floor. Choosing right the first time is how a rental stays clean and functional for its entire run.
For most construction sites and general outdoor events, the standard portable restroom is the right starting point. It handles volume, fits almost anywhere, and services cleanly on a regular rotation. When the site has workers or guests with mobility needs, the ADA-accessible unit is not optional. It brings ground-level entry, grab bars, and a wide interior, and every event setup of any size should include at least one.
When the occasion calls for something closer to an indoor experience, the deluxe flushable restroom delivers it with a foot-pump flush, a fresh-water sink, and a mirror. For larger events where guests expect finished interiors, running water, and climate control, restroom trailers are the right answer. Upscale and wedding-grade trailer configurations are available for events where the restroom is part of the impression the event makes.
Multi-story builds present a placement problem that standard units cannot solve. Rolling and elevator-fit units move between floors without a crane. Crane-hoistable units lift directly to elevated work decks. If the project in Evanston goes above the ground floor, those are the units that keep sanitation where the crew actually is.
A public event with a large attendance needs restroom capacity planned against the guest count, the event length, and whether alcohol is part of the program. The general guide is at least one restroom per 50 guests for an event running up to about four hours. Longer events need more units, and when alcohol is served, add roughly 10 to 20 percent to that count. Every public event setup should include at least one ADA-accessible unit. We work through those numbers on the call.
Street-level events with food vendors and high foot traffic move through restroom capacity faster than a seated gathering of the same size. Hand-wash stations placed near the food service area are a practical addition, and the servicing schedule needs to match the pace of the event rather than a standard twice-a-week rotation. We build the plan around what the event actually looks like.
A new residential build in Evanston needs sanitation on site from the first day workers arrive. OSHA sanitation guidance under 29 CFR 1926.51 sets the floor for what a job site requires. As a working rule of thumb, one toilet covers up to 20 workers. Above that, plan on one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers up to 200, then per 50 workers beyond that. For a long-running project, monthly rental keeps the logistics simple and the site compliant throughout.
A kitchen or bathroom remodel that takes the only working toilet out of service leaves a household without options. A single standard unit placed on the property solves that for the duration of the work. It is a short-term rental with a clear end date, and we handle it the same way we handle any other booking.
Outdoor corporate gatherings need restroom access that matches the formality of the event. A company picnic in a park setting is well served by standard units with hand-wash stations nearby. A client-facing open day or product launch may call for deluxe flushable units or a restroom trailer. The unit type follows the occasion, and we can talk through the options when you call.
Sites without a sewer connection need a different approach. Holding tanks extend the time between service visits by adding waste capacity on-site. For campgrounds or large overflow areas where the volume is hard to predict, we set a servicing schedule on the front end and adjust it if conditions change. Shower trailers and combination shower-restroom units are also available for sites where washing up is part of the daily routine.
When you call, we work through the details before anything is confirmed. Unit type, unit count, placement location, rental length, and servicing frequency are all settled on the phone. The rate is confirmed at that point, so you know what the rental covers before delivery is scheduled.
Delivery happens on the agreed date. Units arrive stocked with toilet paper and soap, ready to use. From there, routine servicing visits cover pump-out, cleaning, sanitizing, deodorizing, and restocking. For standard use, servicing runs about twice a week. High-traffic sites and large events get a tighter schedule to match the demand. We take pride in the units we drop off, and that standard holds through every servicing visit for the length of the rental.
At the end of the rental, we handle pickup. There is nothing to coordinate on your end beyond confirming the units are accessible. We'll take it from delivery to pickup.
The rate for a rental in Evanston depends on a few things: the unit type or types, how many units the job needs, how long the rental runs, and how often servicing visits are needed. A single standard unit on a short residential remodel is a different conversation from a fleet of mixed units on a multi-week construction project. Neither has a fixed price until we know the specifics.
When you call, you get the rate on the phone before anything is scheduled. Ask what it covers and you get a straight answer. There are no figures to puzzle through on your own. We confirm the price, explain what it includes, and move forward from there.
One call sets the date. Clear rate. Units on site.
Delivery dates are confirmed on the booking call. For events with a set date on the calendar, booking ahead gives the most flexibility on unit selection and placement logistics. For construction projects, the rental can be set up to run for the duration of the build, with servicing on a fixed schedule throughout.
Weekend and holiday delivery is available. We are open every day from 6:30 AM to 10:30 PM, which covers most event setups and job-site start dates without any need to work around a weekday-only schedule. If the timeline is tight and you need something arranged quickly, call and we will tell you what the schedule allows.
Placement is worked out on the call. Whether the site is a paved lot, a grassy event ground, or a tight urban footprint, we plan the placement before delivery so the unit lands where it actually needs to be. If a placement on public property might require a permit, we will talk through what applies at your address before anything is scheduled.
We deliver and service portable restrooms throughout Evanston and the surrounding Cook County communities. That includes Skokie, Wilmette, Kenilworth, Lincolnwood, and Golf. If your site is in one of those areas or somewhere nearby, coverage is not a question. Call us and we will confirm the address.
We care what the neighbors think of the service. That applies whether the rental is on a residential street in Evanston, a commercial site in Skokie, or an event ground in Wilmette. The units go out clean, get serviced on schedule, and come off the property when the rental ends. Stocked restrooms. Prompt delivery. Service on a set rotation. A quick read of the complete list of porta potty services covers the rest.
Yes, if you have units at more than one location, we can build a servicing plan that covers all of them. Call us with the addresses and crew sizes for each site and we will set up a schedule that keeps every location stocked and serviced. Handling it as a single conversation is the most efficient way to get everything coordinated.
We handle short-term rentals for home remodels and other situations where the need is temporary. The rental length is confirmed on the call based on how long the work is expected to run, and extensions are straightforward if the project takes longer than planned. Call us with your start date and we will confirm what is available.
Yes, placement is flexible as long as the ground is reasonably level and the delivery vehicle can reach the spot. If you want units tucked behind a tent line, along a fence, or screened by landscaping, let us know when you call and we will plan the placement accordingly. The goal is a location that works for the site layout and for the guests using the units.
Yes, we can schedule a pickup at the current site and a delivery to the new one when your project relocates. Call us with the new address and your preferred timing and we will work out the logistics. Planning the move a few days ahead gives us the best chance of keeping the unit available without a gap between sites.
Restroom trailers are the right fit when the occasion calls for a finished interior, running water, and climate control rather than a basic portable setup. Outdoor weddings, upscale corporate gatherings, and ticketed events where guest experience is part of the program are the most common situations. If you are not sure whether a trailer or standard units make more sense for your event, describe the setup on the call and we will help you work it out.
If it is easier for us to coordinate access with a venue coordinator or property manager directly, let us know when you book and provide the right contact information. We are used to working with event venues, parks, and commercial properties where the renter is not always the one who controls site access. Clear communication before delivery day is what keeps placement on schedule.
Upscale and wedding-grade restroom trailers with running water and climate control do require a power source on site. Standard and basic trailer configurations have different requirements. When you call, describe the site and we will confirm exactly what the trailer you are renting needs so you can have it ready before delivery day.
Yes, and the standard restroom with an interior hand sink is a particularly practical choice near food vendor areas, concession stands, and catering setups where handwashing is a priority. Standalone hand-wash stations are another option for high-traffic food service zones. We can help you figure out the right combination when you call.
For a construction site rental running several weeks or longer, servicing is scheduled as part of the rental from the start. Visits cover pump-out, cleaning, sanitizing, deodorizing, and restocking, and the frequency is set based on your crew size. If the crew grows or the pace of the project changes, we adjust the schedule to match. The goal is to keep units clean and compliant for the full duration of the project.
The rate quoted on the call is based on the unit type, rental length, and servicing frequency you describe. If those details change, such as extending the rental, adding units, or increasing servicing visits, the total adjusts to reflect the actual scope of the job. We explain what the quoted rate covers so you know what would change it before anything is scheduled.
Yes, short-term rentals are available for single-day events, weekend gatherings, and other brief needs. Call us with your dates and we will confirm what is available and what the rate covers for that duration. We handle everything from one-day event rentals to long-term construction site placements.
Yes, that is a common arrangement for outdoor weddings, festivals, and community events where setup happens the day before and the site clears the day after. Mention that timing when you call and we will schedule delivery and pickup around your event dates. Having units in place before guests arrive means no last-minute scrambling on the day of the event.
Cicero Porta Potty Company handles rentals across Evanston from the first conversation to the day the units come off your property.

Not every job calls for the same unit, and not every site has the same access or setup. We offer the full range of portable sanitation rentals, from standard construction restrooms to upscale wedding trailers, so you can get exactly what the job needs. The table below lays out each unit, who it suits, and what to keep in mind when you book. Call us and we will help you match the right units to your site.
| Unit | Recommended For | Key Features | Worth Knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Portable Restroom | Construction sites, job sites, and general outdoor events |
| The most commonly rented unit across Evanston and Cook County. One toilet covers up to 20 workers on a job site. For events, plan on at least one unit per 50 guests for events up to about four hours. |
| Standard Restroom with Hand Sink | Food events, farmers markets, and sites needing onboard handwashing |
| A practical upgrade when guests or workers need handwashing access in one place. Fits the same placement footprint as the standard unit, so it works in tight spots. |
| Deluxe Flushable Restroom | Outdoor weddings, corporate events, and upscale gatherings |
| The right step up when guests expect something closer to an indoor restroom experience. Works well alongside restroom trailers for larger events that need a mix of unit types. |
| ADA / Wheelchair-Accessible Restroom | Any event or job site with accessibility requirements |
| Plan on at least one ADA unit per event, and roughly one ADA unit for every 20 standard units on larger setups. Required at most public events and recommended on all job sites. |
| Rolling / Elevator-Fit Unit | Multi-floor and high-rise construction sites |
| Designed for active construction floors where a standard unit cannot be placed or moved. Confirm elevator dimensions and floor access when you call so we can confirm fit. |
| Crane-Hoistable Unit | Elevated work decks and high-rise builds |
| Used when a unit needs to reach a floor or deck that an elevator cannot serve. Rigging requirements and deck access should be confirmed on the booking call. |
| Trailer-Mounted Single Unit | Remote sites and locations where the unit needs to move frequently |
| A good fit for sites that shift location during a project or for remote properties without fixed restroom placement. Tow vehicle access to the site is needed for repositioning. |
| Restroom Trailer, 2-Station | Small weddings, private parties, and intimate outdoor gatherings |
| A step up from individual units for smaller events where guests expect a real restroom experience. Requires a level surface and a water connection or onboard tank, confirmed at booking. |
| Restroom Trailer, Multi-Station | Festivals, large weddings, and corporate events |
| The right call when a single trailer needs to handle a large volume of guests. Works well as the primary restroom solution or alongside individual units for overflow. |
| Luxury / VIP Wedding Restroom Trailer | Upscale weddings and VIP events |
| Built for events where the restroom experience is part of the overall presentation. We take pride in the units we drop off, and these arrive clean and fully appointed for the occasion. |
| ADA Restroom Trailer | Large events requiring a fully accessible trailer option |
| Combines accessible and standard stalls in one trailer. A practical choice for large public events in Evanston and Cook County where a dedicated ADA trailer is required. |
| Shower Trailer / Shower-Restroom Combo | Disaster relief staging, remote work crews, and multi-day festivals |
| Used wherever workers or attendees need to wash up as part of the daily routine. Works on sites with no sewer connection when paired with a holding tank. |
| Hand-Wash Station | Food service areas, high-traffic events, and sites without onboard sinks |
| Pairs naturally with any restroom rental or stands alone near food prep and service areas. Serviced on the same schedule as the restrooms on your site. |
| Hand-Sanitizer Station | Entrances, exits, and high-foot-traffic spots at any event or site |
| A fast-deploy option for venues and job sites where hand hygiene matters but a full hand-wash station is not practical at every location. |
| Holding Tank | Remote properties, farms, and sites with no sewer connection |
| Extends the time between pump-outs on remote or high-use sites. Size and capacity depend on unit count and expected use, which we confirm on the booking call. |
| Spill-Containment Tray | Units placed on finished floors, sensitive surfaces, or indoor spaces |
| A practical addition for construction sites with finished or sensitive flooring, or for any placement where spill protection is required by the site owner or general contractor. |
