Evanston Porta Pros has served Evanston and the North Shore for over a decade, renting portable toilets, septic pumping equipment, dumpsters, restroom trailers, storage containers, temporary fencing and handwashing stations to construction crews, event planners and homeowners. We operate 24/7 for emergencies and stock more than 200 units across our local fleet.
We started small. One truck, a handful of portable toilets, and a promise to answer the phone when customers called. That was the whole idea: show up on time, keep equipment clean between jobs, and charge fair prices instead of whatever the market would bear. Evanston Porta Pros still runs that way. We're not a national franchise with a call center in another state. We're local people managing local jobs, which means we know the neighborhoods we service and we understand the specific challenges that come with Evanston construction permits, event restroom rental logistics and the weather patterns on the North Shore. When you call us, you reach someone who can actually decide to solve your problem instead of reading from a script.
Our team handles portable toilet rental across three unit tiers. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and measures roughly 44 by 48 inches on the ground, which fits most job sites. We also stock deluxe flushable porta potties for customer-facing events where appearance matters, and ADA accessible portable toilets that meet ADA Standards section 213.2, which requires at least one accessible unit when single-user units are clustered. For larger operations, restroom trailer rental offers heated stalls, running water, and climate control. We've delivered trailers to construction site services across Evanston and to wedding restroom rental events as far as Wilmette, 4.1 miles northwest.
Septic pumping service is a core business for us. Residential septic tanks are typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. We pump grease interceptors when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. We also offer holding tank rental for properties without municipal sewer and emergency septic service when backup occurs on a weekend or holiday.
Roll-off dumpster rental starts with our 10 yard units for small residential jobs and scales up to 40 yards for major demolition. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, which our dispatch team confirms before we schedule. We handle construction dumpster rental under OSHA 1926.252 waste disposal standards, and we rent temporary fence rental to secure job perimeters. Storage container rental gives contractors a locked 20-foot or 40-foot box for tools, materials and equipment between shifts.
For job sites where employees apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities with soap and running water. We rent handwashing station rental units that meet 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), which mandates soap and towels or a hand drying device. Hand sanitiser alone doesn't satisfy the rule.
We service Evanston and the surrounding North Shore area, including Wilmette, Niles 8.0 miles west, Glenview 9.3 miles west, Park Ridge 10.1 miles west and Northbrook 12.2 miles northwest. Our dispatch team can usually place equipment within 24 hours on a weekday. Emergency calls after hours go to our on-call manager, who routes the nearest available truck. We maintain every unit to industry standard, with service visits at least once per week for active rentals under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the portable sanitation service standard.
Standard units hold 60 to 70 gallons and stand about 92 inches tall. Deluxe models add flushable fixtures and inside lighting. ADA units include a ramp, wider door (32 inches clear opening per ADA Standards 404.2.3), and accessible grab bars. Event restrooms and construction sites can use any type; the choice depends on duration, foot traffic and site appearance standards.
Yes. Call anytime for urgent septic backup, dumpster overflow, or restroom failure. Our on-call team responds 24/7. Weekend and holiday service costs more than weekday rates, but we're equipped to handle it.
At minimum once per week per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. High-traffic events and job sites with many workers get more frequent service. We discuss your expected use when you book and adjust the schedule if conditions change.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. Contact us with your project details and we'll help you understand what Evanston permits or restrictions may apply.
Both. Homeowners use our units for home renovation porta potty needs, camping porta potty events on their property, and septic pumping when tanks need maintenance. Contractors and event companies are our other main customer base. Duration, volume and site access determine the equipment and price.
