Most porta potty rentals in Waukegan run about 150 dollars a day for a standard unit, with weekly rates near 200 dollars and monthly rates around 200 dollars once you factor in service. Delivery and pickup are usually billed separately, often near 100 dollars each way. When people ask how much does portable toilet rental cost, the exact figure depends on unit type, rental length and site access, so porta potty rental prices always come tied to those factors.
A standard unit is the baseline, and it sets the portable toilet rental cost for everything else. Rent one for a day and you are looking at the low end of the standard porta potty rental band, which is where most rent porta potty prices start. Keep it a full month and the number climbs, because service visits add up. The deluxe flushable porta potty costs more, and an ADA accessible porta potty sits in its own band. A restroom trailer is a different animal entirely. Below is the full picture. Waukegan Porta Pros breaks delivery, service and pickup out as separate lines so you see what you are paying for. For a wider look at drivers, our porta potty rental cost breakdown and the per day pricing page go deeper. Site sanitation on job sites follows OSHA 1926.51(c)(1), which sets one toilet for 20 workers or fewer.
| 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 | - |
Weekend rates are quoted in prose because they are a premium short-term rate. A standard unit over a weekend runs roughly 125 to 400 dollars. An ADA unit over a weekend runs about 199 to 300 dollars. A restroom trailer over a weekend can hit 900 to 3000 dollars depending on stall count. Compare the 2 stall restroom trailer against the 4 stall restroom trailer and the 8 stall restroom trailer to match crowd size. For rental math and the full price for portable toilet rental, our portable toilet rental and portable restroom rental pages help, and you can rent a portable restroom or a port o john rental the same way.
These get billed apart from the unit itself, and that is a good thing. You see the real cost. Delivery for a standard drop runs 100 to 500 dollars a day depending on distance and access. Service visits, the pump-and-clean, run 30 to 220 dollars a week. Monthly service sits at 100 to 300 dollars.
| Line item | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delivery | 100-500 | 50-150 | 120-420 |
| Service | 100-300 | 30-220 | 100-150 |
ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Need more traffic covered? Read how often are porta potties cleaned. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons in its tank, which drives that weekly interval. For a full accounting see dumpster rental cost if you are bundling waste, and the request a quote page for firm numbers. Handwashing pairs with any unit through our handwashing station rental.
Because no two sites are the same. A driveway drop in central Waukegan costs less than a rural farm placement. Distance matters. Gurnee is 4.1 miles west and North Chicago is 4.8 miles south, so those stay close to the base delivery rate, while Palatine at 27.5 miles southwest adds drive time. Unit type is the biggest lever. A deluxe flushable porta potty with a foot pump costs more than a standard porta potty rental, and a luxury restroom trailer is another tier again. Rental length changes the per-day math too. Service frequency counts. High-traffic events need more visits, and 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a drying device at any washing station, which hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy. See the hand sanitizer station rental options and the portable sink rental page. Job sites lean on our construction site services.
Events price differently than long-term site rentals. A standard event unit runs 200 to 800 dollars depending on the day and the guest count. A restroom trailer for an event lands in the 2499 to 3899 dollar range because it comes with running water, lighting and climate control. Waukegan Porta Pros handles event restroom rental, wedding restroom rental and festival restroom rental across the calendar. To size the order, start with how many porta potties do I need. A concert restroom rental and a marathon and race restrooms setup both need ADA coverage, and ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of clustered units, never fewer than one, be accessible. A golf tournament restrooms order and a county fair restrooms plan run through the same math. Placement rules live in our porta potty placement guide.
A fair quote names every line. Unit type, rental length, number of service visits, delivery and pickup. If a company gives you one lump number with no breakdown, ask them to split it. Waukegan Porta Pros writes it out so you can check each piece against these bands. A standard monthly unit with weekly service, delivery and pickup should land inside the ranges on this page, not above them. The unit itself is 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands about 92 inches tall, so most driveways and lots take it easy. If placement is in the public right of way, that needs confirming with the City of Waukegan, and we name no rule here because it is not verified. Check porta potty permit requirements and dumpster permit requirements before you sign. Our porta potty rental checklist walks the whole thing. Questions go to contact.
Yes, and the table shows why. The monthly rate per day is lower than the daily rate, because delivery and pickup are one-time fees spread across more days. Rent a standard porta potty rental for a weekend and every fee compresses into two days. Rent the same unit for a month and those same fees barely register per day. A monthly porta potty rental is the cheapest way to keep a unit on a long job. Home projects work the same way, which is why home renovation porta potty customers usually book by the month, and folks who want to rent a porta john for a short job pay more per day than those who keep port o potties for rent all month. Waukegan Porta Pros services on the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 weekly baseline, so a month is four visits. If you need waste hauling too, bundle a roll-off dumpster rental or a 10 yard dumpster rental. Storage on site pairs with a storage container rental. Emergencies get emergency porta potty rental.
Numbers land better with examples. Here are three Waukegan setups.
A weekend backyard wedding, one deluxe unit plus one ADA unit and a handwashing station. The deluxe flushable porta potty sits at its weekend rate, the ADA unit at 199 to 300 dollars for the weekend, and the handwashing station rental adds a line. Delivery and pickup close it out.
A month-long remodel, one standard unit with weekly service. This is the cheapest per-day path, billed monthly with four service visits, plus one delivery and one pickup. See home renovation porta potty.
A 30-worker construction site for three months. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers in that range, so two standard porta potty rental units cover it, billed monthly. Add a portable sink rental because 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels. If crews handle coatings or herbicides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that work. See OSHA portable toilet requirements and the construction dumpster rental pairing. Nearby North Chicago, 4.8 miles south, gets the same rates. Compare porta potty rental in Gurnee, IL and porta potty rental in North Chicago, IL.
Portable toilet rental cost for a standard single-day unit runs 100 to 350 dollars before delivery and pickup, which are billed separately, so porta potty rental prices for one day sit in that band. Delivery alone can add 100 to 500 dollars depending on distance. For the daily breakdown, see porta potty rental per day. A firm figure comes from request a quote.
Depends on the crowd. A deluxe flushable porta potty adds a flush and a hand pump, which weddings and long events want. A standard porta potty rental covers most job sites fine. Both hold 60 to 70 gallons. Weigh guest expectations against budget.
Yes. Distance drives it. A central Waukegan drop stays near the base rate, while a farther site adds drive time. Gurnee at 4.1 miles west and North Chicago at 4.8 miles south stay close to base. See service areas for the full map.
An event restroom trailer runs 2499 to 3899 dollars because it includes running water, lighting and climate control. Match the size to your guest count using the 2 stall restroom trailer or 4 stall restroom trailer pages, and see wedding restroom rental.
Yes. A standard unit over a weekend runs about 125 to 400 dollars, all fees compressed into two days. That is why the per-day cost feels higher than a monthly rental. For longer needs, a monthly porta potty rental saves money.
An ADA unit is larger and meets accessibility rules. ADA Standards section 404.2.3 sets a 32 inch minimum clear door opening and section 304.3.1 requires a 60 inch turning circle. That size and build push its band higher. See ADA restroom requirements and ADA accessible porta potty.
The service fee covers the pump-out and clean, resupply and sanitizing. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users. High-traffic sites need more visits, which raises the total. Read how often are porta potties cleaned for the full routine.
