Porta potty rental cost per day in Evanston runs from about $100 to $350, with most standard units landing near $150 for the day. That daily rental cost covers unit, delivery and one cleaning, though weekend jobs, delivery fees and cleanup service push the total higher. Evanston Porta Pros prices by unit type, so a quick call gets you the exact porta potty rental price per day for your job.
Porta potty rental prices per day depend on the unit, not just the calendar. A standard porta potty rental in Evanston typically runs $100 to $350 for a single day, and most jobs land closer to $150. That price band comes from real bookings, not a sticker on a truck. A deluxe flushable porta potty costs more, from $85 on the low end up to $1,200 for a loaded unit, because flushable models and hand sinks add weight and service time. An ADA accessible porta potty day rate sits between $200 and $400. If you only need one unit for a backyard project or a one day permit window in Evanston, the porta potty rental cost for one day beats a weekly rate. But if the job runs three or four days, check porta potty rental cost against a weekly quote first, since the crossover point comes faster than most people expect. Weekend jobs carry their own logic too: a Saturday-Sunday rental for a standard unit generally lands between $125 and $400, closer to a flat weekend rate than a doubled day price. Evanston homeowners doing a home renovation porta potty rental usually want the single-day rate, while contractors running multi-week jobs lean toward the monthly porta potty rental option instead.
The portable toilet rental cost per day covers the unit, delivery, pickup and one cleaning cycle, but not every add-on. Delivery fees run separately, typically $100 to $500 for a single day depending on distance and access, so ask upfront rather than assuming it's bundled. A standard unit holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank and stands about 92 inches tall on a footprint of roughly 44 by 48 inches, which matters when you're figuring out where it fits on a tight Evanston lot. For construction jobs, OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the ratio: one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, with more seats required as crew size climbs past 20. That standard applies whether you're renting for one day or one month, and it's worth checking before you order a single unit for a crew of 30. Event organizers should look at event restroom rental guidance instead, since crowd counts change the math. If your day rental is for a wedding, a wedding restroom rental page breaks down guest-count ratios. For a festival or block party in Evanston, the festival restroom rental and concert restroom rental pages cover higher-traffic placement.
Per-day, a single day rental costs more than a week works out to on a per-day basis, but it's still the right call for short jobs. Here's how standard unit pricing compares across durations:
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $100 | $150 | $350 |
| Weekend | $125 | $250 | $400 |
| Week | $130 | $200 | $500 |
| Month | $125 | $200 | $325 |
A week-long rental in Evanston often costs only slightly more than a single day at the high end, because delivery and pickup trips get spread across more use. That's why a lot of two- or three-day jobs still book the weekly rate. If your project might stretch past a day or two, compare against porta potty rental per day pricing before locking in, or check the porta potty rental cost breakdown for a fuller picture across all durations. For jobs under 40 hours with 10 or fewer users, the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 service standard sets one cleaning visit as the baseline, which is generally covered inside a single-day or weekend rental without extra service calls.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery day. Evanston Porta Pros can position the unit on private property without that step in most residential and contractor jobs, but sidewalk or street placement is a different question entirely. Check the porta potty permit requirements page for what to ask the city, and review the porta potty placement guide for setback and access basics like ADA Standards 403.5.1, which requires a 36 inch clear path to the unit. If you're near a curb, a driveway apron, or a shared lot line, get placement confirmed before the truck shows up. Homeowners in nearby Wilmette, 4.1 miles northwest of Evanston, or Niles, 8.0 miles west, run into the same right-of-way question, and the answer depends on the specific block, not a blanket rule. For sites needing barricading around the unit, OSHA 1926.202 requires barricades to meet ANSI D6.1 specifications, which matters more for construction sites than backyard rentals. If you're unsure which category your job falls into, the portable toilet rental overview or a quick call sorts it out fast.

No. Delivery is billed separately, usually $100 to $500 for a one day job depending on distance and site access. Ask for delivery cost upfront so the total isn't a surprise. Multi-day and monthly rentals often see lower delivery fees per day.

It depends on headcount and duration. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets crew-based ratios for job sites. For events, guest count and drinking service change the number. The how many porta potties do I need guide walks through both scenarios with specifics.
A weekend rental costs more than a single day but less than two separate day rentals booked back to back. Standard units run $125 to $400 for a weekend. If your event spans Saturday and Sunday, the weekend rate almost always wins over booking two single days.
