A standard porta potty in Des Plaines runs about 150 dollars a day, 200 for a week, or 200 a month, with a delivery fee near 150 and a weekly service visit around 60. Deluxe flushable units, ADA models and restroom trailers cost more. Below is the full breakdown by unit type and duration.
Most jobs land between 150 dollars a day and 325 a month for a standard porta potty rental, before delivery. The number moves with the unit type, how long you keep it, and how often it gets serviced. People ask how much a portable toilet rental costs, and the honest answer is that portable toilet rental costs run from a single-day drop to a six-month build. A quick weekend party is priced differently than a six-month build. If you want to rent a porta john for a job or rent a portable restroom for a party, the same bands apply. Standard weekend rates in Des Plaines sit around 250 dollars for the Saturday-Sunday window. If you want the plain per-day price or a monthly rate, we have pages for both. Contractors running crews should read the OSHA portable toilet requirements, since OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets one toilet for 20 workers or fewer. Ready to skip ahead?

Here are the porta potty rental prices by unit and rental length, so you can see the price for portable toilet rental at a glance. Delivery, service and pickup are billed as separate lines, listed under the main table. Weekend is a short premium rate, so we quote it in prose, not the table.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 100 - 350 | 130 - 500 | 125 - 325 |
| Deluxe flushable | 85 - 1200 | 150 - 290 | - |
| ADA accessible | 200 - 400 | 120 - 240 | - |
| Restroom trailer | 175 - 2500 | 150 - 1650 | - |
Fees run separately: delivery from 100 to 500 a day, weekly service 30 to 220, and monthly delivery 120 to 420. A standard weekend rental sits near 250 dollars; an ADA weekend rate runs about 240. Compare the deluxe flushable unit, the ADA accessible model and a restroom trailer before you pick. The full cost of a restroom trailer is on its own page.
The base rate covers the unit, its delivery and pickup, and one service visit on the standard schedule. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, and that is what most rentals in Des Plaines are built around. A service visit means pumping the 60 to 70 gallon holding tank, refilling paper, and sanitizing. A standard unit is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, so plan the spot before we arrive. See the placement guide for clearance. If you want to know how often units get cleaned, that page covers it. Extra visits add to the service line. A handwashing station or a hand sanitizer stand is a separate add-on. So is temporary fencing to screen a unit at an event.
The same unit can cost 100 dollars or 350 in a day, and the reasons are practical. When people ask how much does portable toilet rental cost, distance is one reason it swings. Distance is one. Des Plaines is central, but a drop in Glenview 8.4 miles northeast or Wheeling 8.7 miles north adds drive time to the delivery fee. Duration is another. A monthly rental spreads the delivery and pickup across weeks, so the daily cost falls. Volume matters too. Ten units for a festival price differently than one for a home renovation. Service frequency drives it as well; a busy site needs more than the weekly Z4.3 baseline. Unit type is the biggest lever, since a luxury trailer costs far more than a port o john rental, and port o potties for rent by the day carry their own band. Winter drops may need extra prep, covered on the porta potty in winter page. Des Plaines Porta Pros prices each of these on the quote.
Count matters as much as price per unit. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up, and one per 50 at 200 or more. Get the count wrong and you either overpay or fall short. Our how many porta potties do I need tool walks event and jobsite math. For a construction crew, bundle it with construction site services and a roll-off dumpster to save a trip fee. Events use a different ratio driven by hours and headcount; the event restroom rental page has the guidance. ADA rules apply too. ADA Standards section 213.2 says where units are clustered, at least 5 percent and never fewer than one must be accessible. A wedding or a concert usually needs at least one ADA unit on site. More units, lower cost each. Des Plaines Porta Pros sizes it for you.
When you compare rent porta potty prices, a fair quote in Des Plaines names four things: the unit type, the rental length, the delivery fee, and the service schedule. If any of those is missing, you cannot compare bids. Weekly service should reference the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline of one visit per week for up to 10 users. Delivery and pickup should be listed, not buried. A standard unit at 150 dollars a day with a separate delivery line is honest; a single lump number that hides the trip fee is not. Ask whether soap and towels are included, because 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires washing facilities to have soap and a drying method, and hand sanitizer alone does not meet it. If your job involves paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities, so budget a portable sink. Read the rental checklist before you sign. Our FAQ page answers the rest.
Numbers help. Here are three common Des Plaines jobs with the parts broken out, so you see how the total is built.
Backyard renovation, one standard unit, one month: base near the monthly band, plus a delivery fee around 172 and a monthly service line near 150. A 10 yard dumpster often rides along on these.
Saturday wedding for 120 guests: a 2 stall restroom trailer on the weekend rate, plus one ADA unit near the 240 weekend figure, plus temporary fencing to screen them. Delivery on a weekend runs a premium.
Twenty-worker construction site in Des Plaines, six months: two standard units to meet OSHA 1926.51(c)(1), monthly rate each, a handwashing station, and a storage container for tools. Get the quote.
Des Plaines Porta Pros is based in the city and covers the towns around it. Distance feeds the delivery fee, which ranges from 100 to 500 dollars in a day depending on drive time and access. Mount Prospect is 3.4 miles northwest, Park Ridge 4.6 miles southeast, Elk Grove Village 6.6 miles southwest, Glenview 8.4 miles northeast and Wheeling 8.7 miles north; each has its own service area page. We rent in Mount Prospect, Park Ridge, Elk Grove Village, Glenview and Wheeling. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the City of Des Plaines, since we do not publish a permit rule we have not verified; see the permit requirements page. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so dumpster placement differs from a toilet drop. Contact us with your address.
A standard unit runs 100 to 350 dollars for a single day in Des Plaines, plus a delivery fee that starts near 100. A deluxe flushable model costs more. The per-day page has the full breakdown for short jobs.
Yes. Longer rentals spread delivery and pickup across more days, so the daily cost drops. A monthly rental is the best value for a build or long project. A week beats a string of single days. We never charge more for a longer term than a shorter one.
Delivery and pickup are billed as separate lines from the unit rate, so you see each cost. Delivery ranges from 100 to 500 dollars in a day by distance and access. Pickup is folded into that trip. Ask for both on your quote so nothing hides.
One service visit per week is the baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, and it is included in most rates. Busy sites need more, which adds to the service line. See how often units are cleaned for the schedule detail.
If units are clustered, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent, never fewer than one, to be accessible. An ADA unit runs 200 to 400 dollars a day. The ADA restroom requirements page explains door width and turning space.
A single standard unit on a longer term is the lowest cost, since the monthly rate spreads the fees. A porta john is the same basic unit. Skip the deluxe flushable and trailer if budget is tight.
Yes, for storm cleanup, a failed septic system or a last-minute event. Emergency porta potty rental and emergency septic service are available in Des Plaines. Rush trips carry a higher delivery fee. Call us and we will move fast.
