Home » Porta Potty Rental
Cicero Porta Potty Company handles portable restroom rentals across Cicero and Cook County from the first call to the final pickup. Whether you need a single standard unit for a weekend project or a full trailer setup for a large outdoor event, we cover the complete rental cycle: delivery, placement, routine servicing, and pickup when the job is done. We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 10:30 PM. Call for a quote and we will get the right units scheduled for your site.
Not every job calls for the same restroom, and not every site has the same access or setup. We offer a full range of portable sanitation rentals, from the basic workhorse units that handle construction sites and general outdoor events, to upscale restroom trailers suited to weddings and corporate functions. Whether this is your first rental or your hundredth, there is a unit in the lineup that fits the job.
The standard portable restroom is the most common unit on construction sites, road crews, utility jobs, and general outdoor events across Cicero. It includes a non-flush toilet, urinal, toilet paper, and ventilation. Straightforward, durable, and easy to place almost anywhere.
This unit shares the same footprint as the standard restroom but adds a hand-wash sink inside the cabinet. It is a practical fit for food-adjacent events, farmers markets, and any site where guests or workers need hand-washing access without a separate station nearby.
The deluxe flushable unit steps up with a foot-pump flush mechanism, a fresh-water sink, and a mirror. It is the event-grade choice for outdoor weddings, corporate picnics, and any occasion where guests expect something better than a basic porta potty. Clean lines and a cleaner experience.
Ground-level entry, a wide interior, and grab bars make this unit the right call for events and job sites with accessibility requirements. For larger event setups, plan on roughly one ADA unit for every 20 standard units on site. It is the practical way to meet accessibility needs without a complicated setup.
Multi-story and high-rise builds in Cicero and the broader Cook County area need units that move with the work. Rolling units travel between floors at ground level. Elevator-fit units are sized to ride a construction elevator. Crane-hoistable units lift directly to elevated work decks. These are purpose-built for vertical construction where a standard unit simply cannot go.
Restroom trailers range from compact two-station units to large multi-station configurations with running water, climate control, and interior lighting. Wedding-grade and upscale options are available for events where the restroom experience matters as much as anything else on the program. ADA-accessible restroom trailers with a lowering chassis and ramp are also part of the lineup.
Standalone shower trailers and shower-restroom combination trailers serve sites where washing up is part of the daily routine. Disaster-relief staging areas, remote work camps, film production locations, and extended construction projects with no sewer hookup are all common applications. We will take it from delivery to pickup.
Standalone hand-wash stations pair naturally with any restroom rental or stand alone at high-traffic events and food service areas. Hand-sanitizer stations place quickly throughout a venue or job site for fast-access hygiene wherever foot traffic is heavy. Both are simple additions that make a real difference in how a site runs.
For sites with no sewer connection, holding tanks extend the time between service visits by adding waste capacity. Spill-containment trays go under units placed on sensitive surfaces. Both are useful on remote properties, farms, and rural locations around the Cicero area where standard infrastructure is not available.
General contractors, pipeline crews, road construction teams, and utility workers all need reliable sanitation on site. We handle weekly and monthly rentals for long-running projects, and we offer the specialty units that vertical construction requires, including rolling, elevator-fit, and crane-hoistable restrooms for multi-story builds. For sizing, OSHA sanitation guidance under 29 CFR 1926.51 is the right reference: roughly 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. Call us with your crew size and site layout and we will work out the right count.
Outdoor weddings, concerts, festivals, block parties, 5K races, company picnics, graduation parties, farmers markets, and fairs all have one thing in common: restroom access determines how smoothly the event runs. We supply standard units for high-volume outdoor events, deluxe flushable units and restroom trailers for occasions where guests expect more, and ADA units to keep every event accessible. Good service isn't complicated, it's just reliable.
Flood response, disaster staging, and urgent last-minute rentals are situations where waiting is not an option. We also serve remote work sites, hunting camps, farms, and any location without a sewer connection. We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 10:30 PM, and prompt response on short-notice bookings is something we take seriously. We make the rest easy.
Every rental starts with delivery and placement at your location. From there, routine servicing visits cover pump-out, cleaning, sanitizing, deodorizing, and restocking paper and soap. For standard use, servicing runs about twice a week, and we scale that frequency up when traffic on the site is heavier. At the end of the rental, we handle pickup.
The service shows in how often the units actually get pumped. A restroom that looks fine on day one but sits unserviced through the week is not doing the job it was rented to do. We schedule servicing as part of the rental, not as an afterthought.
Stocked restrooms. Prompt delivery. Service on a set rotation.
A general starting point for events running up to about four hours is one restroom per 50 guests. For longer events, plan to add more units to keep up with demand. When alcohol is served, add roughly 10 to 20 percent to your unit count. Every event setup should include at least one ADA-accessible unit, and on larger events, plan on approximately one ADA unit for every 20 standard units on site. These are planning guidelines, not a firm quote. Call us with your guest count, event length, and location in Cicero or nearby, and we will help you land on the right number.
OSHA's sanitation standard under 29 CFR 1926.51 is the benchmark for job-site restroom requirements. As a working rule of thumb: one toilet covers up to 20 workers. Above 20 workers, plan on one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers up to 200, then one toilet and one urinal per 50 workers beyond that. Crew size and site layout both affect the final count. Call us and we will work through the numbers with you before anything is scheduled.
We deliver and service portable restrooms throughout Cicero and the surrounding Cook County communities. That includes Berwyn, Stickney, Forest View, the west side of Chicago, Oak Park, and Lyons. If your site is somewhere nearby and you are not sure whether we cover it, a quick call will answer that.
Cicero sits in the middle of a dense, active area with construction projects, outdoor events, and community gatherings running throughout the year. We know the kinds of sites that come up here, from tight urban lots to open event grounds, and we plan placements accordingly.
Contractors have enough to think about without chasing a servicing visit. When you call, we walk through the details on the phone before anything is scheduled. The rate is confirmed upfront, and we explain what it covers. No guesswork on your end.
To scope the job accurately, it helps to have a few things ready: the event date or rental duration, the location in Cicero or a nearby community, your expected headcount or crew size, and any preferences on unit type. We take pride in the units we drop off, and getting the details right on the call is how we make sure the right equipment shows up at the right place.
One call sets the date. Clear rate. Units on site.
Each visit covers a full pump-out of the waste tank, cleaning and sanitizing the interior, deodorizing, and restocking toilet paper and soap. The unit is left ready for use before the visit ends. Servicing runs about twice a week for standard use and more often when traffic on the site is heavier.
For typical construction site use, servicing runs roughly twice a week. High-traffic sites, large crews, or extended shifts may call for more frequent visits, and we set that schedule on the booking call based on your crew size and site conditions. The goal is to keep units clean and functional throughout the rental.
High-traffic events often need daily or even multiple-times-daily servicing to keep units clean and stocked. The right frequency depends on attendance, event length, and how many units are on site. Call us with those details and we will build a servicing plan that fits the event.
Before any unit goes out on a new rental, it goes through a full cleaning and sanitizing process so it arrives at your site ready to use. We take pride in the units we drop off, and that standard applies whether the unit is going to a job site in Cicero or an outdoor event in a nearby Cook County community.
Each unit is treated with deodorizing chemicals during every servicing visit, and the servicing frequency can be increased during warm-weather months when heat accelerates odor buildup. Ventilation in the standard units also helps with airflow. If you are planning a summer event or a warm-season construction project, mention it on the call and we will factor it into the servicing plan.
The placement area should be reasonably level and accessible to the delivery vehicle. Units placed on soft ground, sloped surfaces, or areas with overhead obstructions may need a different approach, and we work through those details on the booking call. If the site has specific access challenges, let us know upfront so placement goes smoothly.
Units can be moved a reasonable distance from where the delivery vehicle parks, but the farther the carry, the more site prep matters. Tight urban lots, fenced job sites, and event venues with limited vehicle access are all situations we plan for on the call. Describe the site layout when you book and we will confirm what is workable.
Standard units can be anchored or weighted to reduce movement in windy conditions. If your site in Cicero or the surrounding area is exposed or the forecast calls for high winds, mention it when you call so we can discuss the right approach for your placement. Trailers and larger units have their own stabilization requirements, which we cover during the booking conversation.
The unit with an interior hand sink is a practical fit for food-service events, farmers markets, and any site where guests or workers need handwashing access without a separate station nearby. It shares the same footprint as the standard restroom, so it fits in the same spaces and works with the same placement plan.
The deluxe flushable unit is the right call when the event setting calls for something closer to an indoor restroom experience. Outdoor weddings, corporate events, graduation parties, and upscale gatherings where guests expect a higher standard all benefit from the foot-pump flush, fresh-water sink, and mirror the deluxe unit provides.
For a wedding lasting up to about four hours, plan on at least one restroom per 50 guests as a starting point. Add more units for longer receptions, and add roughly 10 to 20 percent to the count if alcohol is being served. Every wedding setup should include at least one ADA-accessible unit. Call us with your guest count and event length and we will help you land on the right number.

How many portable restrooms do I need for a one-day outdoor festival?
A general starting point is one restroom per 50 guests for an event running up to about four hours. For a full-day festival, plan to add more units to keep pace with continuous traffic throughout the day. If alcohol is being served, add roughly 10 to 20 percent to your unit count. Include at least one ADA-accessible unit, and on larger setups, plan on about one ADA unit for every 20 standard units. Call us with your expected attendance and event length and we will help you work out the right number for your site.
What does OSHA require for portable restrooms on a construction site?
OSHA's sanitation standard under 29 CFR 1926.51 is the reference for job-site requirements. As a working guide, one toilet covers up to 20 workers. Above 20 workers, plan on one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers up to 200, then one toilet and one urinal per 50 workers beyond that. Crew size, shift length, and site layout all affect the final count. Call us with those details and we will work through the numbers with you before anything is scheduled.
Is servicing included in the rental price, and what does a visit cover?
Servicing is part of the rental. Each visit covers a full pump-out of the waste tank, cleaning and sanitizing the interior, deodorizing, and restocking toilet paper and soap. For standard use, servicing runs about twice a week. High-traffic sites and larger events may need more frequent visits, and we set that schedule based on your headcount and site conditions when you book.
Units Delivered Fully Stocked
Every unit arrives with toilet paper, soap where applicable, and the deodorizing treatment it needs. There is nothing to set up on your end before the site opens.
What happens to the waste after a unit is pumped out?
Waste collected during a pump-out is transported and disposed of at a licensed waste disposal facility. The process follows applicable regulations for portable sanitation waste. If you have questions about how waste disposal is handled for your specific site or location in Cook County, ask when you call and we will walk you through it.
How far in advance should I book units for a large event?
The earlier you call, the easier it is to confirm the units and the servicing schedule you need. For large events, weddings, and festivals, booking several weeks out gives you the most flexibility on unit selection and delivery timing. That said, we take short-notice work and prompt response on last-minute event bookings is something we take seriously. Call us with your date and we will tell you what is available.
Can portable restrooms be used in cold weather and winter conditions?
Yes. Standard units hold up in cold weather, though freezing temperatures can affect the deodorizing chemicals and waste tank. For winter rentals in the Cicero area, we factor in the conditions when we set the servicing schedule. Restroom trailers with climate control are a good option for events or extended projects where comfort in cold weather matters. Mention your timeline when you call and we will plan accordingly.
Honest Advice on How Many Units You Need
Tell us your guest count, crew size, and event length and we will give you a straight recommendation before anything is scheduled. Good service is not complicated, it is just reliable.
Do units arrive stocked and ready to use?
Every unit arrives stocked with toilet paper, soap where applicable, and the deodorizing treatment the tank needs. We take pride in the units we drop off, and that standard applies from the first day of the rental. Restocking happens at each servicing visit throughout the rental period.
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 water supply, soap dispenser, and paper towels. It gives users a full handwashing option without any plumbing connection. A hand-sanitizer station uses a touch-free dispenser and requires no water at all, making it a fast-deploy option for entrances, exits, and any high-traffic spot where a full wash station is not practical. Both are available as standalone rentals or as additions to a restroom package.
What is the standard rental period, and how do extensions work?
Rental periods are set on the booking call based on your project or event timeline. Construction and job-site rentals typically run on weekly or monthly terms. Event rentals are scoped around the event dates. If you need to extend a rental, call us before the scheduled pickup date and we will adjust the timeline and servicing schedule. Extensions are handled on the phone, not through an automated system.
ADA and Standard Units for Any Event
Every event setup should include at least one ADA-accessible unit. Accessible restrooms and accessible trailers are available to rent, so any event in Cicero or the surrounding Cook County area can meet that need without a complicated order.
Can units be placed on grass, gravel, or sidewalk?
Units can be placed on grass, gravel, sidewalk, and most firm surfaces. The placement area should be reasonably level and accessible to the delivery vehicle. Soft or uneven ground may need some prep to keep units stable, and spill-containment trays are available for sensitive or finished surfaces. Describe the site conditions when you call and we will confirm the right approach for your location.
Do I need a permit to place a portable restroom on public property in Cicero?
Permit requirements depend on whether the unit is placed on private property or in the public right of way, and rules can differ between the city and the county. We confirm what applies at your specific address before delivery. If your placement involves a public sidewalk, street, or park space, ask about it on the booking call so we can factor it into the plan.
Can I add more units after I have already booked?
Yes. If your guest count goes up, your crew size grows, or you decide you need additional units after the initial booking, call us and we will work out what can be added and when. The sooner you call about changes, the more flexibility we have on scheduling the additional units.
Call (464) 266-9289 and we will walk through the unit options, the quantities, and the servicing schedule that fits your site. We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 10:30 PM.
