We rent everything from basic job-site units to upscale restroom trailers, so one call covers every sanitation need on your project or event. Here is a look at what we carry.
The workhorse of the lineup. Each unit includes a non-flush toilet, urinal, ventilation, and toilet paper. These are the right call for construction sites, road work, roofing crews, remodels, home renovation projects, and farm or rural properties where a dependable, no-fuss unit is all you need.
Same solid unit, plus a built-in handwashing station inside the door. A good fit for food truck events, farmers markets, school and church events, and any gathering where running a separate hand-wash station is impractical.
A step up in finish and feel. These units feature a foot-pump flush, a fresh-water sink, and a mirror. They are the event-grade choice for weddings, outdoor receptions, graduation parties, corporate events, and upscale outdoor gatherings where guests expect something better than a standard porta potty.
Ground-level entry, a spacious interior, and grab bars in an ADA-compliant layout. Every event should include at least one accessible unit as a baseline, and we are glad to help you figure out the right number for your setup. We carry ADA and standard units for any size event.
For multi-floor job sites and elevated work decks, we offer rolling and elevator-fit units that move between floors, and crane-hoistable units that lift to height. These are the right fit for high-rise construction, large commercial builds, and road construction projects where a standard ground-level unit simply will not work.
From compact two-station trailers up to large multi-station units, our restroom trailer fleet handles weddings, festivals, concerts, fairs, sporting events, VIP events, film shoots, and corporate outdoor events. Upscale and wedding-grade trailers include running water, climate control, and interior lighting for a guest experience that matches the occasion.
Built on a lowering chassis with a ramp and accessible stalls, these trailers meet ADA compliance requirements for large events and work well for disaster relief staging areas where accessibility cannot be an afterthought.
Standalone shower trailers and shower-restroom combination trailers serve disaster relief operations, emergency response staging, remote job sites, hunting camps, off-grid properties, and multi-day festivals. When workers or relief crews need more than a restroom, these units fill the gap.
Standalone hand-wash stations and hand-sanitizer dispensers are easy additions to any event or job site. They work especially well at food truck events, farmers markets, charity events, HOA gatherings, and volunteer events where high-traffic handwashing is a priority.
For sites with no sewer connection, holding tanks extend capacity without requiring a hookup. Spill-containment trays protect surfaces beneath units on sensitive or finished surfaces. These are a practical solution for farm and ranch properties, off-grid sites, remote job sites, and temporary staging areas.
We handle the full cycle from the moment we load the truck to the day we pick the units up. You do not need to coordinate multiple vendors or worry about who is responsible for what. We're here when you need restrooms.
Our crew delivers on time, places each unit where it works best for your site or event layout, and makes sure everything is set before we leave. Same-day and short-notice delivery is available across Cicero and the surrounding Cook County communities for situations where planning time is short.
Every service visit includes a pump-out, thorough cleaning, sanitizing, deodorizing, and a full restock of paper and soap. For typical use, we run service approximately twice a week, and we scale that schedule up when traffic is heavier. Long-term rentals, whether weekly, monthly, or multi-month, come with a scheduled service plan built in so the units stay clean throughout the rental period.
When the project wraps or the event ends, we schedule pickup at your convenience. No hassle, no chasing anyone down. We coordinate the timing with you so the units are gone when you are ready for them.
We serve two main customer groups, event organizers and construction crews, and we bring the same reliability to both. One company, one call, one less thing to manage.
We've served this area long enough to know what each event needs. Weddings and outdoor receptions, birthday and graduation parties, backyard gatherings, festivals, concerts, fairs, food truck events, farmers markets, sporting events, marathons, 5K runs, tailgate parties, corporate events, trade shows, company picnics, block parties, church and school events, charity and volunteer events, film shoots, and graveside services. If people are gathering outdoors, we have the right units for it.
Local accountability means we earn the next rental by doing this one right.
General contractors, roofers, remodelers, road crews, and new construction teams all rely on us for portable sanitation that keeps their sites compliant. OSHA's sanitation standard (29 CFR 1926.51) requires adequate facilities on every job site, and we make it straightforward to meet that requirement. Long-term rentals include a regular service schedule so units stay clean for the duration of the project. We also serve farm, agricultural, rural, and remote sites where permanent facilities are not an option.
When a flood, storm, or emergency event creates an urgent need, we respond fast. Short-notice and same-day delivery for disaster relief staging, FEMA events, and emergency response operations is part of what we do. Shower trailers and combination units are available for extended relief operations where crews need more than basic sanitation.
Sizing depends on guest count, event length, whether alcohol is being served, and the nature of the site. Here are the guidelines we use as a starting point.
For events, plan on at least one restroom per 50 guests for a gathering that runs up to about four hours. Add units for longer events. When alcohol is being served, add roughly 10 to 20 percent more units to account for increased use. Include at least one ADA-accessible unit at every event, and plan for approximately one ADA unit per 20 units on larger setups.
For construction and job sites, OSHA guidance (29 CFR 1926.51) is the right reference. One toilet covers up to 20 workers. Above that, plan on one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers up to 200 workers, and one toilet and one urinal per 50 workers beyond that.
These are helpful starting points, not a firm quote. Every site and every event has variables that affect the final count. Call us and we'll size the order with you.
Pricing depends on the unit type, how long you need it, and how often it needs to be serviced. There is no single number that fits every situation, which is why we offer free estimates and take the time to understand your project before we give you a number.
Every unit goes out fully stocked with paper and sanitizer, so you are not paying for delivery and then scrambling to supply the basics. We are family-owned and operated, and that means we take pricing seriously because we know you are comparing options and making a real decision.
Call (464) 266-9289 for a free quote tailored to your event or job site.
Our customers come back because we make the logistics easy. We are based here and we serve Cicero as our home base, along with Berwyn, Oak Park, Stickney, Forest Park, Riverside, and Lyons, plus the near-west side neighborhoods of Chicago that border our area. We know the streets, the access points, and the local quirks that affect delivery and placement. That local knowledge shows up in on-time arrivals and units placed exactly where you need them. Call today and we're ready to roll.
Plan to add roughly 10 to 20 percent more units on top of your base count when alcohol is on the menu. So if your headcount calls for 10 units, budget 11 or 12. Alcohol increases restroom use noticeably, and running short on units at that point in an event is a problem that is hard to fix quickly. Call us and we will help you land on the right number for your specific setup.
These specialty construction units are built for multi-floor job sites where a standard ground-level porta potty simply cannot follow the work. Rolling and elevator-fit units move between floors as the project progresses, while crane-hoistable units lift directly to elevated work decks. If you are managing a high-rise build or a large commercial project in the Cicero area, these are the units to ask about.
Permit requirements depend on where the units are being placed and the nature of the event or project. Placement on public property, parks, or permitted event sites often involves coordination with the city or county. We recommend checking with the relevant local authority for your specific location. We can advise based on what we have seen in the area, so it is worth mentioning your placement location when you call.
The interior hand-sink unit is the right choice when you want on-unit handwashing without setting up a separate hand-wash station nearby. It works especially well at food-service events, farmers markets, school and church gatherings, and any setting where hygiene expectations are a step above a basic construction site. It is a practical middle ground between a standard unit and a full restroom trailer.
Servicing is part of the rental arrangement and is built into the quote we give you. When you call for a free estimate, we account for the service frequency your site or event requires so there are no surprise line items when the invoice arrives. Everything is explained upfront before you commit to anything.
We offer rentals ranging from a single day for short events up to weekly, monthly, and multi-month terms for construction projects and long-running job sites. There is no single standard length because the right term depends entirely on your project. When you call, we will match the rental period to your actual timeline.
A short-term event rental is typically scoped around a specific date, with delivery before the event and pickup shortly after. A long-term construction rental runs on a recurring service schedule, usually weekly or monthly, with regular pump-outs and restocking built in for the duration of the project. Pricing and servicing frequency are structured differently for each, and we explain both when you call for a quote.
Start with at least one restroom per 50 guests for the first four hours of the event, then add units for longer run times. Add 10 to 20 percent more if alcohol is being served. Include at least one ADA-accessible unit, and plan for roughly one ADA unit per 20 units on larger setups. For a festival with multiple stages or zones, placement across the site matters as much as the total count. Call us with your expected attendance and event layout and we will put together a sizing recommendation.
We can place units on grass, gravel, packed dirt, and pavement. The surface should be reasonably level and firm enough to keep the unit stable. Soft or uneven ground can affect stability and may require some adjustment at placement. Let us know your surface conditions when you call and our crew will come prepared to handle them.
Units need enough overhead clearance for the door to open fully and enough surrounding space for our crew to service them without obstruction. Level ground is important for stability and to keep the unit functioning properly. When you call, describe your site and we will let you know if there are any placement considerations to plan around.
Public events are generally expected to provide accessible restroom facilities for guests with disabilities, and the specific requirements can vary based on event size, venue type, and local regulations. Our ADA-accessible portable restrooms feature ground-level entry, a roomy interior, and grab bars in a compliant layout. Our ADA-accessible restroom trailers with a lowering chassis and ramp are available for larger events that need a higher level of accessibility. We recommend checking with your event permit authority for the exact requirements that apply to your situation.
Schmidt Porta Potty Rental is ready to put clean, reliable portable restrooms on your site or event. We carry the full range of units, we service what we deliver, and we stand behind the work because this community is where we do business.
Event service. Job-site service. One number for both.
Pick the units. Pick the date. We handle the rest.
Call (464) 266-9289 for a free quote. We'll be there with clean units.
Every job is different, and the right unit makes a real difference in how smoothly things run. We put together this lineup so you can see at a glance what each unit is built for, what it includes, and when it makes the most sense. If you have questions after looking it over, call us and we will help you build the right order for your event or site.

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.
