Renting a portable toilet in Des Plaines usually runs from $100 to $350 a day for a standard unit, with weekly and monthly terms costing less per day. Des Plaines Porta Pros delivers, services and picks up, whether you need one unit for a weekend project or a bank of them for a festival.
Price depends on unit type, rental length, and how far the delivery truck has to travel. A standard unit generally lands in the $100 to $350 per day range, and weekly terms sit between $130 and $500, which is more total dollars but a lower daily rate once you average it out. An ADA unit runs $200 to $400 a day, and a week should cost more total than a single day even though the daily rate drops. Monthly rentals run $125 to $325 and make sense for a long construction site job. Delivery fees are usually separate, often $50 to $150 for a week-long rental. If you want the deluxe flushable option with a flush mechanism and sink, expect a wider range, from $85 on the low end up to over a thousand for high-end events. For a fuller breakdown by duration, see our pages on daily rental pricing, monthly rental costs, and overall cost guidance.
| unit | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | $100-$350 | $130-$500 | $125-$325 |

| ada | $200-$400 | $240-$400 | -- |
An ADA-compliant unit costs more total for a week than for a single day, even though the per-day rate drops the longer you keep it. See ADA accessible porta potty rental for specs and placement notes.
The math depends on worker or guest count and how long people are on site. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets construction site minimums: one toilet for 20 or fewer workers, then one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers once the crew passes 20, scaling to one per 50 at 200 or more. That number matters whether you are running a home renovation crew of six or a mid-size construction dumpster job site with forty hands. For events, the math shifts toward guest count and hours of service rather than a fixed labor ratio. Our placement guide and our dedicated how many porta potties do I need page walk through both. Servicing follows the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline of one visit per week for up to 10 users across a 40 hour week, so a busy Des Plaines job site with more bodies on it needs more frequent service than that baseline, not less.
Placement rules depend on ground surface, access, and whether the unit sits in the public right of way, and that last piece needs confirming with the City of Des Plaines before delivery. We ask about ground clearance and truck access before we schedule anything: a roll-off or restroom trailer delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and a standard unit needs firm, level ground since it sits about 44 by 48 inches on its footprint and stands roughly 92 inches tall. If you are working near Mount Prospect, 3.4 miles northwest, or toward Park Ridge, 4.6 miles southeast, our routing covers both without a surprise trip charge baked in. For accessible placement, ADA Standards 403.5.1 calls for a 36 inch clear route to the unit, and where several single-user units cluster together, ADA 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of them, and never fewer than one, to be an accessible model. Our permit requirements page and placement guide go deeper on driveway, sidewalk, and lot placement.
Yes. A rental company should show up on a set schedule, not just drop a unit and disappear. Des Plaines Porta Pros services every standard rental on a recurring basis, restocking supplies and pumping the tank, which holds 60 to 70 gallons on a standard unit before it needs emptying. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand-drying device at washing stations, and hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy that rule, which is why we pair units with a handwashing station or portable sink on most job sites. If your crew is applying paint, coatings, herbicides, or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) specifically requires washing facilities for that contaminant exposure. Curious how often service actually happens? Our cleaning frequency page and odor control page answer the two questions we hear most. For longer events needing something nicer than a standard unit, look at our luxury restroom trailer and 2 stall or 4 stall options.
A standard unit for a weekend typically runs $125 to $400, depending on delivery distance and add-ons like a handwashing station. Weekend rates sit between daily and weekly pricing. Ask about bundling delivery with a temporary fence or dumpster if your event needs both.
A standard unit is a basic toilet with hand sanitizer and no flush mechanism. A deluxe flushable unit adds a flush system, sink, and often better ventilation, priced higher because of the added plumbing and servicing needs.
Yes. Single-unit rentals are common for small crews and short home projects. Delivery and pickup still apply even for one unit, so check our permit requirements page if it sits near a sidewalk or street.
Not automatically, but OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) requires an adequate supply of potable water at all workplaces, and many job sites pair a toilet with a handwashing station or portable sink to meet that need directly on site.
Book as early as you can, especially for weekend events or peak construction season. Standard availability is usually easier than restroom trailers or ADA units, which run in smaller numbers per our pricing data.
