Construction site services in Des Plaines means portable toilets, roll-off dumpsters, temporary fencing and handwashing stations delivered to the jobsite on your schedule. Des Plaines Porta Pros stocks standard units renting from $100 a day, plus dumpsters, storage containers and fencing, so a general contractor can order everything for one crew in one call.
Start with the headcount. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the ratio: one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers once you pass 20, dropping to one per 50 once the crew hits 200. That's the baseline whether you're building in Des Plaines or running construction portable toilet rental near Texas or California - the federal rule travels, though Cal/OSHA layers on its own state requirements for California jobsites, so check local rules before you order. Our standard porta potty rental covers most crews under that first tier. Bigger jobs need a real count, not a guess, and our how many porta potties do I need guide walks through the math by crew size and shift length. Every unit also needs potable water under OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) - most contractors handle that with a handwashing station rental parked next to the toilet bank. If a sub is stripping paint or spraying herbicide, 1926.51(f)(1) kicks in and requires washing facilities specifically for that contaminant exposure, not just general hygiene. Pair a unit with a portable sink rental and you've covered both rules in one delivery.
Pricing depends on unit type and how long the job runs. A standard unit by the month lands in the range most GCs budget for extended builds; short weekend punch-list jobs cost more per day than a month-long rental, which is normal for this trade.
| unit | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | $100 - $350 | $130 - $500 | $125 - $325 |
| ada | $200 - $400 | $240 - $400 | - |
| dumpster | $51 - $112 | $426 - $778 | $500 - $500 |
Delivery runs separately, typically $100 to $500 for a one-time trip depending on distance and access. Full breakdowns live on our porta potty rental cost and monthly porta potty rental pages, and dumpster pricing gets its own detail on dumpster rental cost. If you're comparing day rates against a longer commitment, porta potty rental per day breaks out the math so you're not overpaying for a six-month footing job.
Yes, once you're clustering multiple units on one site. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of a cluster to be accessible, and never fewer than one unit even on a small job. An accessible unit needs a 60 inch turning circle per section 304.3.1, a 32 inch clear door opening under section 404.2.3, and a stable, slip-resistant floor per section 302.1. Our ADA accessible porta potty page covers the full spec sheet, and ADA restroom requirements explains where this applies beyond construction, for events and public-facing work too. Placement matters as much as the unit itself: OSHA 1926.56(a) sets minimum lighting for the areas around it, and if the site runs barricades near excavation or equipment, 1926.202 requires they meet ANSI D6.1. Our porta potty placement guide covers clearances and ground conditions so the unit doesn't end up sinking into mud by week two.
Toilets are one piece. Most Des Plaines jobsites also need a dumpster for debris - OSHA 1926.25 requires scrap and debris cleared from work areas, and 1926.252 governs how waste gets disposed of, including chutes and enclosures on multi-story builds. Pick from our 10 yard dumpster rental, 20 yard dumpster rental or 30 yard dumpster rental depending on the tear-off volume, and check dumpster weight limits before you load concrete or shingles. A roll-off needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck for delivery, so tight urban lots in Des Plaines sometimes need a placement conversation before drop-off. Fencing keeps the public out of the excavation zone - our temporary fence rental and chain link temporary fence options start around the low end of daily fence pricing. If the crew needs GFCI-protected power per OSHA 1926.404(b)(1)(ii), pair fencing and lighting with a light tower rental and temporary power pole. Longer builds often add a storage container rental or mobile office trailer rental for tools and site offices. Jobs within reach of Mount Prospect, 3.4 miles northwest, or Elk Grove Village, 6.6 miles southwest, run on the same delivery routes we use across Des Plaines, so multi-site contractors can consolidate one vendor relationship instead of juggling several.
One unit covers a crew of 20 or fewer under OSHA 1926.51(c). Once you add workers past that threshold, the ratio shifts to one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 people. Check our OSHA portable toilet requirements page for the full breakdown by crew size.
Permit rules vary by placement, especially if the dumpster sits in the public right of way. That needs confirming directly with the City of Des Plaines before delivery. See our dumpster permit requirements page for what to ask.
ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets a baseline of one service visit per week for up to 10 users over a standard 40 hour week. High-traffic sites often need twice-weekly service. Our how often are porta potties cleaned page covers scheduling by crew size.
Yes. Weekend rentals run higher per day than a monthly commitment, since it's a short-term rate. A standard unit weekend rental is available for walkthroughs, inspections or short finish-out work. Ask about combining it with emergency porta potty rental if the schedule shifts last minute.
General sanitation under 1926.51(c) is the baseline requirement. The stricter washing-facility rule under 1926.51(f)(1) applies specifically where crews apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides. Pair a hand sanitizer station rental with a proper sink where that exposure exists.
