Most porta potty rentals in Evanston run about $150 a day for a standard unit, or roughly $200 for a week. Deluxe flushable models and ADA units cost more, and restroom trailers sit in their own tier. Delivery, weekly service and pickup are usually priced as separate lines. If you want rent porta potty prices at a glance, below is the full breakdown of portable toilet rental cost by unit type.
The short answer is $150 a day for a standard porta potty rental around town. That is the typical figure, and it answers how much portable toilet rental runs for a single unit. Rent it for a full week and you are closer to $200, since a weekly rate spreads the delivery trip across more days. Longer jobs get a monthly porta potty rental rate instead.
When people ask how much does portable toilet rental cost, the answer moves with the unit type. A basic portable toilet rental is the floor, so the price for portable toilet rental starts there. Add flushing, a sink and better ventilation and you climb toward a deluxe flushable porta potty. Need wheelchair access and you move to an ADA accessible porta potty, which is built to ADA Standards 304.3.1 with a 60 inch turning circle inside. Every porta john rental here sits on a footprint of about 44 by 48 inches, so placement is easy. Get a firm number on our request a quote page.
| Standard unit | Duration | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Day | $150 |
| Standard | Week | $200 |
| Standard | Month | $200 |
| Standard | Event | $400 |
A standard unit carries a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank and stands about 92 inches tall. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users on a 40 hour week. That is why weekly and monthly rates fold in a scheduled cleaning, and portable toilet rental costs stay predictable across the term. For the full picture see our porta potty rental cost home guide or the rental checklist. Events with big crowds usually need an event restroom rental plan.
Upgrades cost more because there is more inside them. A deluxe flushable porta potty adds a foot-pump flush and a hand-wash basin. An ADA accessible porta potty meets ADA Standards 404.2.3, which sets a 32 inch minimum clear door opening, so a wheelchair fits through.
| Unit | Duration | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| Deluxe | Day | $300 |
| Deluxe | Week | $250 |
| ADA | Day | $230 |
| ADA | Week | $185 |
An ADA weekend drop runs about $240. If you cluster single-user units, ADA Standards 213.2 says at least 5 percent, and never fewer than one, must be accessible. Read the ADA restroom requirements guide before you plan a public event, and the portable restroom rental page, where portable restrooms rental cost sits in the mid-tier. Weddings often pair a deluxe unit with a wedding restroom rental trailer.
A restroom trailer rental is a different animal. These are climate-controlled units with running water, flushing toilets and real sinks. Pricing spans a wide gap depending on stall count and finish, so the table shows the range you should expect.
| Trailer | Duration | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| Trailer | Day | $800 |
| Trailer | Week | $1,397 |
| Trailer | Event | $3,500 |
A trailer weekend booking runs about $2,000. Start with a 2 stall restroom trailer for small gatherings, step up to a 4 stall restroom trailer for weddings, or book an 8 stall restroom trailer for a festival. A luxury restroom trailer sits at the top. For showers, see the shower trailer rental page. The full breakdown lives on the restroom trailer rental cost page. These fit festival restroom rental and concert restroom rental jobs well.
These are separate lines, not hidden in the unit price. Delivery covers the drop-off trip. Service is the scheduled clean and pump-out. Pickup is the haul-away at the end. Being clear about all three is how you read a fair quote.
| Line item | Duration | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery fee | Per trip | $150 |
| Delivery fee | Weekly | $100 |
| Service fee | Weekly | $60 |
| Service fee | Monthly | $150 |
29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires washing facilities be stocked with soap and towels or a dryer, so hand sanitizer alone does not meet it. A handwashing station rental or portable sink rental covers that. Where crews apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities on top of the toilets. See our handwashing requirements page for what applies to your job, and the hand sanitizer station rental options.
Several things push a quote. Rental length is the biggest lever: a longer term lowers the daily cost because the delivery trip is spread out. See how that works on the monthly rental page.
Unit type matters next. A basic portable toilet rental is cheaper than a flushable one. Location matters too. We are based in Evanston, and a drop in Wilmette is only 4.1 miles northwest, so the trip is short. A run out to Glenview is 9.3 miles west, and Park Ridge is 10.1 miles west, which is a longer haul.
Service frequency drives cost on busy sites. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets one toilet for 20 workers or fewer on a construction site, so crew size sets how many units and how often we pump. High-traffic events need more visits. Winter jobs may need cold-weather prep, covered on our porta potty in winter page. Use the how many porta potties do I need tool to size it. Placement affects it too, per the placement guide.
Sometimes. A unit sitting on your own property, driveway or a private lot usually needs no permit. But placing one in the public right of way, like a street or sidewalk, is a different question. That rule is not verified for Evanston here, so confirm placement in the public right of way with the City of Evanston before you book.
We do not quote a permit fee we cannot verify. It is better to check directly than to guess wrong. Our porta potty permit requirements page walks through the general questions to ask. If your job is a build, the dumpster permit requirements page covers the same ground for roll-offs. For construction site services, we help you plan placement so it clears the OSHA portable toilet requirements without blocking anything. Nearby, Niles is 8.0 miles west and Northbrook is 12.2 miles northwest if your site sits across the line.
Numbers make it clear. Here are three common Evanston jobs and roughly what each runs.
A weekend backyard party. One standard unit dropped Friday, picked up Monday, at the weekend flat rate near $250. That covers delivery and pickup in one figure. Good for a graduation or reunion where you just need port o potties for rent over a weekend.
A one-month kitchen remodel. A home renovation porta potty on a monthly rate near $200, plus a weekly service visit near $60 each. A residential septic pumping service is a separate need, since tanks get pumped every 3 to 5 years.
A 30-worker construction site. OSHA 1926.51(c) calls for two units at this crew size. Two standard units at the monthly rate, weekly service on each, plus a handwashing station rental. Pair it with a roll-off dumpster rental and a storage container rental and you have the site covered. For emergencies, our emergency porta potty rental responds fast in Evanston.
A standard porta potty runs about $150 for a single day in Evanston. Deluxe flushable units cost more and ADA units near $230. If you rent a porta john instead, expect a similar standard-unit figure. Delivery is a separate line, typically around $150 per trip. See the per day rate page.
Yes, per day it is. A week runs about $200 total for a standard unit, which beats paying the daily rate seven times. The delivery trip is spread across more days. Longer still, a monthly rental drops the daily cost further.
The unit, the drop-off and the pickup, plus scheduled service on weekly and monthly terms. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users. Delivery and service can show as separate lines. Our FAQ page has more.
Often yes. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels at washing facilities, and hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy it. Where crews handle paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) applies. Add a portable sink rental to cover it. A port o john rental does not include a sink by itself.
It depends on headcount and hours. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets one toilet per 20 workers on a job site, and events scale similarly with crowd size and length. Our how many porta potties do I need guide sizes it, and festival restroom rental covers big crowds.
Yes. We serve nearby towns. Wilmette is 4.1 miles northwest and Niles is 8.0 miles west, both short trips. Glenview and Park Ridge are about 9 to 10 miles west. See service areas or the Wilmette page for details.
A restroom trailer rental has running water, flushing toilets, climate control and real sinks. For weddings, upscale events and long jobs, the comfort justifies the price. A 4 stall restroom trailer handles most gatherings, and it beats trying to rent a portable restroom for an upscale crowd. See restroom trailer cost.
