Whether you need a single standard unit for a weekend project or a fleet of luxury trailers for a large outdoor wedding, we have the equipment and the crew to get it there on time. Same-day and weekend delivery is available for Cicero and nearby communities. Call (464) 266-9289 for a free quote today.
Our lineup runs from basic standard porta potties to deluxe flushable restrooms, ADA-accessible units, restroom trailers, shower trailers, hand-wash stations, and holding tanks. Whatever the job calls for, we can put the right units on site.
The standard porta potty is the go-to unit for construction sites, backyard parties, block parties, tailgates, and fundraisers. Each unit includes a non-flush toilet, urinal, ventilation, and toilet paper. It is straightforward, durable, and built for heavy use.
When a separate hand-wash station is not practical, this unit steps in. The interior hand sink makes it a natural fit for church events, school functions, farmers markets, and film shoots where hygiene matters and space is limited.
This is the event-grade unit guests actually appreciate. A foot-pump flush, fresh-water sink, and mirror make it the right call for outdoor weddings, graduation parties, outdoor concerts, and upscale gatherings where a standard unit would feel out of place.
Ground-level entry, a wide interior, and grab bars make this unit the right choice for any public or permitted event. ADA-accessible portable restrooms are not just a courtesy at larger events. They are often a requirement. We carry them for any order size.
High-rise and multi-story job sites in the Chicago metro need units that can move between floors or fit a freight elevator. These units are sized and built for exactly that kind of work, keeping sanitation accessible no matter what level the crew is on.
When the work deck is elevated and an elevator is not an option, a crane-hoistable unit goes where the crew goes. We supply these for commercial construction sites that need sanitation lifted to height safely and efficiently.
Restroom trailers bring running water, climate control, and interior lighting to any outdoor setting. A compact two-station trailer works well for smaller private events, while large multi-stall configurations handle festivals, outdoor concerts, and 5K races with ease.
For weddings, corporate events, and outdoor film productions, the interior finishes make a real difference. Upscale restroom trailers give guests an experience that matches the occasion. These units are available for VIP sections, full event setups, and any gathering where presentation counts.
A lowering chassis, ramp, and accessible stalls make this trailer the right choice for large events that need full ADA compliance in a trailer format. It pairs well with standard trailers on events where a portion of guests require accessible facilities.
Disaster relief operations, construction crew camps, remote sites, and multi-day festivals all have one thing in common: people need to clean up. Shower trailers and combination shower-restroom trailers cover that need wherever the job takes us.
Standalone hand-wash and hand-sanitizer stations pair with any porta potty order or add to an existing setup. They are a practical addition for food-service events, school events, and any site where hand hygiene is a priority.
Farms, ranches, remote properties, and pipeline job sites often have no sewer connection nearby. Holding tanks and spill-containment trays fill that gap, keeping waste contained and the site compliant until service arrives.
From home renovations and roofing jobs to concrete pours and large commercial builds, job sites need reliable sanitation from day one. OSHA's sanitation standard (29 CFR 1926.51) sets the baseline, and we help contractors meet it. We offer long-term and monthly rentals, and rolling or crane-hoistable units are available for high-rise work across the Chicago metro.
Different events call for different setups, and we match the unit to the occasion. Backyard birthday parties, graduation celebrations, outdoor weddings, and neighborhood block parties all have different requirements, and we match the unit to the occasion. Deluxe flushable restrooms and luxury trailers are available when guests expect more, and ADA-compliant units are included wherever the event calls for them.
Outdoor concerts, 5K races, marathons, football tailgates, and county fairs put serious demand on sanitation. Multi-stall trailers and high-volume servicing schedules keep things running smoothly from the first arrival to the last guest out. We handle Cook County park placements and large venue setups regularly.
Not every job site is a city block. Farms, hunting camps, logging operations, and off-grid properties need sanitation just as much as any urban site. Holding tanks handle locations with no sewer connection, and we deliver where others may not.
When flooding, severe weather, or other emergencies displace residents or disrupt infrastructure, sanitation needs to move fast. We deploy portable restrooms and shower trailers quickly for disaster response, FEMA site support, and flood relief in Cicero and surrounding communities.
Church picnics, school carnivals, community fundraisers, and film shoots all land in our regular rotation. Units delivered fully stocked with paper and sanitizer arrive ready to go, and we restock on every service visit so the supplies stay consistent throughout the event or production.
When the units arrive, you can cross one worry off the list. A local operator handles delivery, positions each unit where you need it, and confirms placement before leaving the site. For placements on public rights-of-way, permit requirements vary by location. We confirm what applies at your address before anything is scheduled.
Routine servicing covers the full cycle: pump-out, cleaning, sanitizing, deodorizing, and restocking paper and soap. For typical use, servicing runs about twice a week. High-traffic events and busy construction sites get more frequent visits scaled to the actual demand.
At the end of the rental, pickup is scheduled at a time that works for you. Long-term construction rentals stay flexible as project timelines shift. Weekend and same-day delivery is available for Cicero and nearby Cook County locations when the schedule allows. Call us and we'll size the order with you.
Sizing is one of the most common questions we get, and the answer depends on your crowd, your schedule, and the type of work involved. The numbers below are solid starting points, but a phone call gets you a recommendation built around your specific situation.
Plan on at least one restroom per 50 guests for events running up to about four hours. Longer events need more units to handle the increased traffic over time. When alcohol is being served, add roughly 10 to 20 percent to your unit count. Every event should have at least one ADA-accessible unit, and on larger events, plan for about one ADA unit for every 20 units in the order.
For a crowd of 100 guests, two to three units is a reasonable starting point. For 200 guests, four to five units gets you there. For 500 people, ten or more units is the baseline before adjusting for event length and alcohol. Call us and we will work through the numbers with you.
OSHA's sanitation standard (29 CFR 1926.51) sets the floor for job-site sanitation. As a practical guide: one toilet covers up to 20 workers. Above that, plan on one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers for sites up to 200 workers, and one toilet and one urinal per 50 workers beyond that. Every site is a little different. Call for a site-specific recommendation before you commit to a unit count.
Our customers come back because we make the logistics easy, and that starts with a clear price before anything is scheduled. You get the rate on the phone, before delivery is booked, and we explain what it covers. No scheduling happens until you have the information you need to make a decision.
Rates depend on the unit type, rental duration, number of units, service frequency, and your site location in Cook County. Short-term rentals for a single day, a weekend, or a week are available alongside long-term monthly and multi-month contracts for construction projects.
The work is carried out by professionals who know this area, and that shows in the details: units that arrive on time, service visits that run on schedule, and a pickup that happens when it is supposed to.
Pick the units. Pick the date. We handle the rest.
We deliver across Cicero and into the broader Cook County area, including Berwyn, Oak Park, Forest Park, Stickney, Lyons, Summit, Riverside, and Chicago's near west side. If your event or job site falls outside that list, call anyway. Delivery reaches across Cook County, and we work out coverage on the call.
Local accountability means we earn the next rental by doing this one right. ADA and standard units are available for any size event, from a small backyard gathering to a multi-day festival with thousands of attendees. We're here when you need restrooms.
Rolling units and elevator-fit units are designed for high-rise and multi-story construction sites where workers need sanitation access on upper floors without making a trip to ground level. They are sized to move through standard freight elevators and are a practical solution for commercial builds across the Chicago metro.
A crane-hoistable unit is the right call when the work deck is elevated and there is no elevator access to get a unit there. These units are built to be lifted safely to rooftop and high-rise work decks, keeping sanitation where the crew is rather than floors below.
Permit requirements depend on whether the unit sits on private property or in the public right of way, and the rules can differ between the city and the surrounding county. We confirm what applies at your specific address before delivery is scheduled so nothing is placed without the right clearances in place.
This unit is a strong fit for food-adjacent events, school functions, farmers markets, and any site where handwashing needs to be built into the restroom rather than handled by a separate station. It carries the same footprint as the standard unit, so it fits the same placement constraints.
Servicing frequency and cost are confirmed on the call when the order is quoted, and both are part of what you agree to before delivery is scheduled. The quote covers unit type, rental duration, and service visits so you know what the full rental includes before committing.
Routine servicing runs about twice a week for typical use. High-traffic sites, such as active construction sites with large crews or multi-day festivals, get more frequent visits scaled to actual demand. Service frequency is set when the order is booked and can be adjusted if site conditions change.
A short-term event rental covers a single day, a weekend, or a brief period tied to a specific event, with servicing scheduled around the event's duration. A long-term construction rental runs for weeks or months, with a recurring service schedule that adjusts as the project and crew size evolve.
Start with one restroom per 50 guests for events running up to about four hours, then add units for longer event windows and higher cumulative traffic. Add 10 to 20 percent more units when alcohol is served, and plan for roughly one ADA unit per 20 units in the total order. Call us and we will build a count around your attendance estimate, event length, and site layout.
A wedding with 100 guests and a four-hour reception is a reasonable fit for two to three units at minimum, with at least one being ADA-accessible. Longer receptions, alcohol service, and remote venues without nearby facilities all push the count higher. Call us with your guest count and timeline and we will give you a specific recommendation.
Units can be placed on grass, gravel, pavement, and compacted dirt. The main requirements are a reasonably level surface and enough clearance for the delivery vehicle to position the unit safely. If you have questions about a specific placement spot, describe it when you call and we will let you know if any adjustments are needed.

| 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 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. |
When should I book units for a large outdoor event in Cicero?
The earlier the better, especially for summer weekends, holiday weekends, and dates that fall during festival season in the Cook County area. For large events with trailers or high unit counts, booking a few weeks out gives us time to confirm equipment availability and coordinate delivery logistics. Smaller single-unit orders can often be turned around faster. Call us with your date and we will tell you what the current availability looks like.
What does routine servicing actually include?
Every service visit covers a full pump-out of the waste tank, cleaning and sanitizing the interior, deodorizing, and restocking toilet paper and hand soap. For typical use, servicing runs about twice a week. High-traffic sites get more frequent visits scaled to actual demand. The service frequency is confirmed when the order is booked, and it can be adjusted if conditions on site change.
When is a restroom trailer worth it for a wedding instead of standard units?
A restroom trailer makes sense when the guest experience is part of the event's presentation. Trailers offer running water, climate control, interior lighting, and finishes that match a formal occasion. For smaller weddings, a two-station trailer handles the load comfortably. For larger guest counts, a multi-stall or luxury trailer keeps lines short and the experience consistent. If you are on the fence, call us with your guest count and venue layout and we will walk through the options.
Units Delivered Fully Stocked
Every unit arrives with toilet paper, hand soap, and sanitizer already in place. Restocking is part of every service visit so supplies stay consistent throughout the rental.
Do I need to be on site when units are delivered or picked up?
Not always, but it helps. If we have clear placement instructions and unobstructed access, delivery can proceed without someone present. For larger orders, trailers, or placements with specific positioning requirements, having someone available to confirm the spot saves time and avoids a return trip. We confirm placement details before delivery day so there are no surprises on either end.
What access does the delivery vehicle need?
Standard porta potty delivery uses a truck that needs a clear path to the placement area, typically enough clearance for a full-size service vehicle. Restroom trailers need a wider turning radius and a reasonably level surface to unhitch and stabilize. If your site has a narrow driveway, low-hanging branches, or tight corners, describe the layout when you call and we will confirm whether standard delivery works or if we need to plan around it.
What happens to the waste collected from serviced units?
Waste is pumped from the units during each service visit and transported for proper disposal at a licensed facility. This is standard practice for portable restroom service. We handle the full cycle on the equipment we place, from delivery through every service visit to final pickup and waste removal.
Honest Advice on How Many Units You Need
Sizing guidance is part of every quote call. We work through your guest count, crew size, event length, and site layout so you order what you actually need, not more and not less.
How do cold weather and winter conditions affect portable restrooms?
Portable restrooms can be used year-round, and construction sites in the Chicago area often run through the winter. In cold weather, deodorizing fluid is adjusted for freeze resistance, and units are checked during service visits for any cold-weather issues. Restroom trailers with climate control are a good option for winter events where guest comfort matters. If you are planning a cold-weather rental, mention it when you call so we can make sure the right equipment and servicing approach are in place.
What is the difference between a hand-wash station and a hand-sanitizer station?
A hand-wash station uses a foot-pump to supply fresh water, and includes soap and paper towels for a full wash. A hand-sanitizer station dispenses gel sanitizer without water. Hand-wash stations are the better choice wherever food is being served or where thorough hygiene is required. Sanitizer stations work well as a supplement at entry points and high-traffic areas. Many events use both.
Can I add units after I have already placed an order?
Yes. If your guest count goes up, your crew size grows, or the event runs longer than planned, call us and we will work out what can be added and when delivery can happen. The sooner you let us know, the easier it is to fit the additional units into the schedule. Last-minute additions are sometimes possible depending on availability, so it is always worth a call.
Weekend and Event-Day Availability
Same-day and weekend delivery is available for Cicero and nearby Cook County locations when the schedule allows. Call early and we will do our best to get units on site when you need them.
How do you keep units from getting too hot or too odorous in summer weather?
Ventilation in the units helps with airflow, and deodorizing is part of every service visit. In hot weather, more frequent servicing reduces odor buildup. Placing units in a shaded area when the site allows also makes a real difference. If your event falls during a heat wave or your job site runs through summer, mention it when you book and we can talk through a servicing schedule that fits the conditions.
Are ADA-accessible units required at public events in Cook County?
Public and permitted events are generally expected to provide accessible facilities, and many venues and permit authorities require it. As a practical guide, plan for at least one ADA unit on every event order and roughly one ADA unit for every 20 units on larger orders. The specific requirements at your venue or under your permit may vary, so confirm with the issuing authority. We carry ADA units for any order size and can include them in any configuration.
What is the standard rental period and how do extensions work?
Event rentals are typically quoted for a specific day, weekend, or event window. Construction and job-site rentals are usually set up on a monthly or multi-month basis that adjusts as the project timeline shifts. If you need to extend a rental, call us before the scheduled pickup date and we will adjust the term. Extensions are handled on the call, and the updated rate is confirmed before the pickup date changes.
