A standard porta potty rental in Des Plaines runs from about $100 a day to $350 for a single day depending on how you book it, with weekly rates from $130 and monthly terms starting around $125. It is the basic, no-frills toilet contractors and party hosts book most often. Des Plaines Porta Pros keeps them in stock and ready.
It is the plain unit you picture: a single stall, a seat, and a holding tank, no sink or flush handle attached. The tank holds 60 to 70 gallons, enough for a work crew or a weekend gathering before it needs service. On the ground it measures about 44 by 48 inches, and it stands roughly 92 inches tall, so it fits tight yards and job sites around Des Plaines without eating much space. If you want something nicer, look at the deluxe flushable porta potty, and if the site needs accessible units, check the ADA accessible porta potty page. Most renters searching "standard porta potty rental near me" just need one or two of these for a driveway project or a backyard party, and that is exactly what this unit is built for. For bigger crews, the portable toilet rental and porta john rental pages cover multi-unit setups.
Price depends on how long you need it and how many units you order. Here is the current range:

Delivery is usually a separate line, generally $100 to $150 for a short job, sometimes higher for tight windows or same-day service. For a full breakdown of what drives these numbers, the porta potty rental cost and porta potty rental per day pages go deeper, and if you need one for a whole season, see monthly porta potty rental. Homeowners tackling a remodel often ask about a home renovation porta potty instead of the standard commercial setup, and the pricing lands in the same band.
OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline for construction sites: one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers once you pass that, and one per 50 once a crew hits 200 or more. A framing crew of 15 in Des Plaines needs one unit. A crew of 45 needs two. If your labor involves fieldwork instead, OSHA 1928.110 sets a similar standard for agriculture: one facility per 20 hand-labor employees, reachable within a quarter mile walk. The how many porta potties do I need guide walks through examples by crew size and event headcount, and OSHA portable toilet requirements covers the full regulation text if your GC asks for documentation. Event hosts should also check event restroom rental for headcount ratios that differ from a jobsite.
Placement on your own property is straightforward: level ground, a few feet of clearance for the service truck, and away from doors or windows if you can manage it. Placement on a public street or right of way is different, and that needs confirming with the City of Des Plaines before delivery day. Do not assume a curb placement is fine without checking. The porta potty placement guide covers ground clearance and slope, and porta potty permit requirements explains what to ask the city about before your rental date. If you are running an event with a tent, barricades, or crowd flow to manage, the crowd control barrier rental and temporary fence rental pages are worth a look too, since placement rules for those often overlap with restroom placement.
Des Plaines sits close enough to several nearby communities that we deliver standard units to all of them on the same trucks. Mount Prospect is about 3.4 miles northwest, Park Ridge is 4.6 miles southeast, and Elk Grove Village is 6.6 miles southwest, so a same-week delivery window is realistic almost anywhere nearby. If you are actually located in one of those towns, the Mount Prospect, Park Ridge, or Elk Grove Village pages have local specifics, and the service areas hub lists everywhere else we cover, including Glenview and Wheeling.
ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Busy sites or multi-day events usually need more frequent pumping. See how often are porta potties cleaned for how that scales with headcount.
No, a standard unit is just the toilet and tank. Hand sanitizer dispensers are sometimes mounted inside, but 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires actual soap and towels or a hand-drying device for real handwashing compliance. Pair it with a handwashing station rental if your jobsite needs to meet that standard.
A standard unit has a seat and holding tank only. A deluxe unit adds a flushing mechanism and often a sink, and it costs more. Check the deluxe flushable porta potty page for specs and pricing side by side.
