The question most people sit with before calling is simple: will the unit actually be clean when guests or workers need it, and will someone show up to service it on schedule? Cicero Porta Potty Company serves Skokie with the full rental cycle, from delivery and placement through routine servicing to final pickup, so the answer to both is yes. Whether you are managing a new-build residential site or putting together sanitation for a community event at a local park or venue, we handle the logistics from the first call forward.
The second thing people worry about is timing. Skokie generates a steady mix of construction activity, outdoor events, and emergency response needs, and the window to confirm a rental is often shorter than people expect.
Call us at (464) 266-9289 between 6:30 AM and 10:30 PM, any day of the week, and we will work through the details before you hang up.
When you call, a few pieces of information move the conversation quickly: the location in Skokie, the date you need units on site, how many people will be using them, and roughly how long the rental runs. Unit type matters too, and if you are not sure which one fits the job, we will ask a few questions and point you in the right direction.
From there, we confirm the rate on the phone before anything is scheduled. The price covers delivery, placement, routine servicing visits, and pickup. If the scope changes after the first call, such as adding units or extending the rental, that is a straightforward conversation. One call sets the date. Clear rate. Units on site.
Choosing the right portable restroom is less about picking from a list and more about matching the unit to what the day actually looks like. A construction site with a rotating crew has different demands than an outdoor wedding reception, and a disaster-relief staging area has different demands than both. The unit that works well in one setting can be the wrong call in another.
When the priority is reliable sanitation for a large number of people and the setting does not call for anything upscale, the standard portable restroom is the right fit. It handles construction crews, sporting events, county fair grounds, and any situation where durability and easy servicing matter more than amenities. Adding a hand-wash station alongside a standard unit is a common move for food-adjacent events or any site where hand hygiene needs a dedicated spot.
Outdoor events where the restroom experience reflects on the event itself call for something closer to an indoor standard. The deluxe flushable restroom, with its foot-pump flush, fresh-water sink, and mirror, fits weddings, corporate gatherings, and upscale community events in Skokie where a basic unit would feel out of place. Restroom trailers with running water and climate control go further still, and they are available in configurations from compact two-station setups to large multi-station arrangements.
Accessibility is not optional on most public events or permitted job sites, and the ADA-accessible portable restroom handles that requirement with ground-level entry, grab bars, and a wide interior. For larger event setups, plan on approximately one ADA unit for every 20 standard units on site. The ADA-accessible restroom trailer is also available when a trailer configuration is the better fit for the venue.
When a site is stood up quickly in response to flooding, utility failure, or another emergency, sanitation cannot wait for a standard booking window. We take short-notice requests and can confirm availability on the call. Holding tanks and combination shower-restroom trailers are common additions to emergency response setups where the site will be occupied for an extended period.
A multi-field tournament or a race day with a large participant count puts real pressure on sanitation. The unit count needs to account for peak demand, not average use, and servicing has to keep pace with traffic throughout the event. When alcohol is served at any event, adding roughly 10 to 20 percent to the unit count is a sound planning move. We work through the numbers on the call based on expected attendance and event length.
A residential build running for weeks or months needs consistent sanitation from the first day of ground work. OSHA's sanitation standard under 29 CFR 1926.51 sets the baseline: one toilet covers up to 20 workers, and above that, plan on one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers up to 200, then per 50 workers beyond that. Monthly rentals with a set servicing schedule keep the site compliant without requiring a call every week.
Large outdoor shows draw mixed crowds across long hours, and the sanitation setup has to hold up through the full run of the event. A combination of standard units, ADA-accessible restrooms, and hand-wash stations spread across the grounds is the typical approach. Servicing frequency on multi-day events is set at booking and adjusted if attendance runs higher than expected.
Seasonal agricultural work brings a concentrated crew to a site that may have no existing sanitation infrastructure. Portable restrooms and hand-wash stations fill that gap cleanly, and a holding tank handles waste storage on remote properties where a service vehicle cannot reach as frequently. We set the servicing schedule based on crew size and site access when the rental is booked.
A unit placed on level, stable ground with clear access for the delivery vehicle is a unit that stays upright and gets serviced without complications. The surface does not need to be paved, but it does need to be reasonably firm and flat. Soft or uneven ground, overhead obstructions, and tight access points are all situations worth describing on the call so placement goes smoothly on delivery day.
On servicing days, the unit needs to be accessible without moving other equipment or vehicles out of the way. A restroom blocked in by construction materials or parked vehicles on a service visit is one that does not get pumped on schedule. If the site layout is likely to change between delivery and the first service visit, mention it when you book and we will factor it in.
If a unit needs to go on a public right of way or a city-owned surface in Skokie, a permit may be required. Requirements depend on the specific placement and the property line, and we can talk through what typically applies when you call.
Pricing on a portable restroom rental is not a fixed number pulled from a table. The unit type, the number of units, how long the rental runs, and how often servicing is needed are the four things that move a quote in either direction. A single standard unit on a short residential project costs less than a fleet of deluxe flushable restrooms serviced daily for a multi-day festival, and the difference is straightforward once we know the details.
Servicing frequency is the variable most people underestimate. A unit that serves a small crew twice a week needs a different plan than one handling peak festival traffic. We set the servicing schedule based on what the site actually demands, not a default interval, and we explain what that covers when we quote the price. A concern gets dealt with directly, not dropped into a queue.
We deliver throughout the week and on weekends. For large events and multi-unit construction orders, booking a week or more ahead gives the most flexibility on delivery date and unit availability. Smaller rentals and single-unit orders can often be confirmed on shorter notice, and last-minute requests are worth a call to check what the schedule allows.
We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 10:30 PM. Delivery and pickup are coordinated on the call, and we confirm the date before anything is scheduled. Weekend delivery is common for events that fall on a Saturday or Sunday, and we handle those the same way as any other booking. Stocked restrooms. Prompt delivery. Service on a set rotation.
We deliver and service portable restrooms throughout Skokie and the surrounding Cook County communities. That coverage includes Lincolnwood, Evanston, Morton Grove, Golf, and Wilmette. If your site is in one of those areas or somewhere nearby and you are not sure whether it falls within our delivery range, a quick call will confirm it.
We do not limit coverage to a single zip code or neighborhood. Whether the job is in central Skokie or at a site closer to one of the neighboring communities, call us and we will tell you what we can do. A quick read of our services page covers the rest.
Placement on a public street or in the right-of-way is subject to local permitting requirements that vary by municipality and property type. We confirm what applies at your specific address before delivery is scheduled. If a permit is needed, we will let you know on the call so you can take care of it before the delivery date.
Call us at (464) 266-9289 right away so we can reach the driver and work out an alternative.
Having a backup contact on site, or leaving the gate unlocked during the delivery window, prevents delays. We confirm access details when you book, so flagging any changes before the scheduled date is always the fastest path forward.
The most useful details are the delivery address, the date you need units on site, how many people will be using them, and how long the rental runs. If the site has access limitations, such as a narrow driveway, overhead clearance issues, or a placement on a public surface that may need a permit, mention those too. That information lets us quote the right unit count and servicing frequency without a follow-up call.
The accessible unit has a larger footprint and ground-level entry, so the placement area needs to be reasonably flat and firm enough to support the unit without tipping or sinking. Beyond that, the ground requirements are similar to those for a standard unit. If the site has soft or uneven ground, mention it when you call so we can plan placement accordingly.
Yes, if you need a unit at an additional location after the original booking is confirmed, call us and we will add it to the schedule. We confirm the new address, unit type, and servicing frequency on that call. Having both sites on one conversation helps us coordinate delivery and service visits efficiently.
You do not need to be present as long as we have clear instructions for where the unit goes and how to access the property. If there is a gate code, a locked entrance, or any access detail we need to know, give us that information when you book. We work out those details on the call so delivery goes smoothly without anyone waiting around.
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.
Yes, extensions are available. Call us before the scheduled pickup date and we will confirm the new end date and any adjustment to the rate. The sooner you call, the easier it is to keep the unit in place without a gap in service coverage.
A holding tank provides additional waste storage capacity for sites with no sewer connection, extending the time between necessary pump-outs. Remote properties, farms, rural event venues, and construction sites far from municipal infrastructure are the most common applications. Call us and describe your site setup and we will tell you whether a holding tank makes sense alongside your restroom rental.
Yes, servicing runs on the same schedule regardless of where in the Skokie area a rental is placed. For standard use, visits run roughly twice a week and cover a full pump-out, cleaning, sanitizing, deodorizing, and restocking. If your site in Skokie has heavier traffic or specific access requirements, we set the schedule to match when the rental is booked.
Cicero Porta Potty Company handles portable restroom rentals in Skokie from first contact through final pickup. If you have a delivery date in mind and a rough sense of the job, that is enough to get started.
Call (464) 266-9289 between 6:30 AM and 10:30 PM, any day of the week, and we will work through the unit count, the servicing schedule, and the rate before you hang up.

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 Skokie 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 Skokie 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. |
