A basic porta potty rental in Evanston runs 100 to 350 dollars a day, 130 to 500 dollars a week, and 125 to 325 dollars a month depending on rental length and service frequency. Standard porta potty rental prices sit in that same band no matter who you call, since it's the same unit contractors, homeowners and event planners across Evanston reach for first: a plain, durable toilet with no frills. Evanston Porta Pros stocks these by the truckload.
It's the unit you picture when someone says porta potty. No sink, no flush handle, no lights. Just a seat, a urinal, a roll holder and a vent stack. Evanston Porta Pros builds every standard unit around a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank, which is enough for several days of steady use before it needs a pump-out. Standard porta potty dimensions run about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, and the standard porta potty size stands roughly 92 inches tall, so it clears most doorways and fits tight side yards in Evanston without much trouble. If you want something nicer for a wedding or a backyard party, look at the deluxe flushable porta potty, which adds a flush mechanism and a hand sanitizer dispenser. Need an accessible unit on site? The ADA accessible porta potty meets a 60 inch turning circle under ADA Standards 304.3.1 and a 32 inch clear door opening under ADA Standards 404.2.3. For most job sites and one-day cleanups around Evanston, though, the standard unit is what gets ordered, and it's what shows up fastest when someone searches standard porta potty rental near me.
The standard porta potty rental price, and the basic porta potty rental cost you'll see quoted elsewhere, depend on how long you keep it and how often it gets serviced. Below is what Evanston Porta Pros charges across rental lengths, based on measured pricing from the local market.
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $100 | $150 | $350 |
| Weekend | $125 | $250 | $400 |
| Week | $130 | $200 | $500 |
| Month | $125 | $200 | $325 |
A single day rental, useful for a garage sale or a one-day block party, tends to land near the low end. Multi-week construction jobs push toward the higher week and month figures because of extra service visits. Delivery is usually billed separately, and most delivery fees for a single trip fall between 100 and 500 dollars depending on distance and how fast you need it there. If you're comparing options before you commit, the porta potty rental cost page breaks down what drives the range, and porta potty rental per day digs into short-term pricing specifically. For jobs running months, not weeks, check monthly porta potty rental for how the math shifts.
OSHA answers this one directly for construction crews. Under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1), a job site with 20 workers or fewer needs one toilet facility. Once you cross 20 workers, the ratio becomes one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers, and at 200 or more workers it drops to one seat and one urinal per 50 workers. A general contractor running a mid-size Evanston renovation with 15 people on site typically covers that with a single standard unit, maybe two if the crew is spread across a large lot. Event organizers use a different math, closer to headcount and hours, which our how many porta potties do I need guide walks through with real examples. For anyone servicing agricultural crews instead of a construction crew, OSHA 1928.110 sets a similar bar: one facility per 20 hand-labor employees, reachable within a quarter mile walk, which matters for farm work near Evanston's outer edges. See our farm and agricultural restrooms page for that setup. Contractors juggling permits and inspections should also read OSHA portable toilet requirements before finalizing a unit count.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the City of Evanston directly; we haven't verified a specific ordinance number and won't guess at one. What we can tell you: units need stable, level ground. ADA Standards 302.1 calls for surfaces that are firm and slip resistant, which matters even for a non-accessible unit sitting on gravel or grass. Keep a 36 inch clear path to the door, matching the accessible route minimum in ADA Standards 403.5.1, so nobody's squeezing past a fence post or a stack of lumber to reach it. If your job also involves a dumpster delivery, remember a roll-off truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it, so plan porta potty placement around that space rather than in front of it. Our porta potty placement guide covers ground conditions, service access and wind exposure in more depth. Homeowners doing a renovation project should also check home renovation porta potty for placement tips specific to residential lots. If you're planning something more temporary, like a one-weekend estate sale, emergency porta potty rental covers fast turnaround delivery across Evanston and into Wilmette, about 4.1 miles northwest.
The baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 is one service visit per week for up to 10 users across a 40 hour week. Busy construction sites or multi-day events usually need more frequent visits. Evanston Porta Pros schedules around actual usage, not just the calendar default.
Not standard. Basic units skip the built-in dispenser you'll find on a deluxe flushable porta potty. Add a separate hand sanitizer station rental or a handwashing station rental if your crew needs it, especially for food service or paint work under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1).
Yes. Single-unit weekend rentals are common for backyard parties and estate sales in Evanston. Expect a rate in the 125 to 400 dollar weekend range, plus delivery. Book early since weekend slots fill fast in warmer months.
A standard unit has a seat, urinal and paper holder only. A deluxe flushable porta potty adds a flush mechanism, larger interior and often a foot pump sink. Deluxe units cost more but suit weddings and longer events better.
That depends on placement, and it's not something we've verified against city code. Confirm with the City of Evanston before delivery if the unit sits on a sidewalk, street or other public right of way. Our porta potty permit requirements page explains what to ask.
