Porta Potty Rental Questions and Answers

Same-day delivery is available across Champaign, Urbana, Savoy, Mahomet and nearby towns when you call early in the day. Farther towns in our 80-mile area are often next-day. Call (217) 334-1213 and we confirm a delivery window on the phone.

One to two weeks ahead is ideal for events, and four to six weeks for May through October Saturdays, holiday weekends and restroom trailers. Job-site and same-day orders can usually be filled with a phone call.

Have the delivery address, the dates, the number of guests or workers, and where you want units placed. Mention gates, slopes or tight driveways so the driver arrives ready.

You do not need to be on site. Mark the spot with a cone, flag or chalk, or describe it on the phone, and keep the path clear for the delivery truck.

Weekend delivery is often available. Booking by phone a day or two ahead is the surest way to hold a Saturday or Sunday window.

Extra units can be added during the rental. Call with the new count and we schedule the drop, often the same or next day.

Standard units typically cost $125 to $225 per unit for an event and $150 to $275 per month on a job site with weekly service. Deluxe flushing units run about $200 to $350, and restroom trailers $700 to $2,000 or more per event.

A rental includes delivery, setup, toilet paper, hand sanitizer, service visits on longer rentals, and pickup. Your quote lists each item so there are no surprise charges.

Delivery and pickup are part of every quote. The amount depends mainly on the distance from Champaign, so in-town drops cost less than runs near the edge of our 80-mile area.

Monthly rentals cost the least per day because delivery and pickup happen once and service is on a weekly route. One-day event rentals cost more per day but less in total.

Payment terms are explained on your quote call. Contractors on monthly rentals are usually billed each month for as long as the units stay on site.

A standard unit is non-flushing with hand sanitizer. A deluxe unit adds a foot-pump flush, a sink with soap, a mirror and more space, and suits weddings and dressier events.

Choose a restroom trailer for weddings, corporate events and VIP areas where guests expect indoor comfort, like flushing toilets, running water, lights and climate control.

An ADA unit has a no-step floor, a wide door, grab bars, a lower seat and room for a wheelchair to turn around inside.

Add a hand wash station wherever food is served or handled, and on job sites where crews eat. A common plan is one station for every four toilets.

A standard unit is about 44 inches wide, 48 inches deep and 7.5 feet tall. An ADA unit is closer to 7.5 feet wide and deep, so it needs more room.

Plan one standard unit per 50 guests for a 4-hour party. Add about 15 percent for each extra 2 hours and 20 percent more if alcohol is served.

A 4-hour event with 200 guests needs about four units. An 8-hour event with drinks needs about seven, including at least one ADA unit.

A 150-guest wedding over 6 to 8 hours with drinks needs four to five toilets, or one 3-to-4-stall restroom trailer.

A backyard graduation party with more than about 40 guests should have at least one unit, so guests are not walking through the house all afternoon.

Event units are usually picked up the next business day. Ask for a same-evening pickup if the unit cannot stay overnight.

OSHA 1926.51 requires one toilet for 20 or fewer workers, and one seat plus one urinal per 40 workers for larger crews. Most contractors plan one unit per 10 workers on a 40-hour week.

Weekly service is standard. Each visit pumps the tank, cleans the inside and restocks paper and sanitizer. Larger crews may need two visits a week.

Remodels are one of the most common uses. Place the unit on the driveway or side yard on level ground, close to where the service truck can park.

Call and we swap or clean the unit as soon as we can. Anchoring units on windy, open lots helps prevent tip-overs.

One standard unit holds about 200 uses. For a 10-person crew that is roughly one week; for a 50-guest event, about one afternoon.

The technician pumps the holding tank, cleans and sanitizes the interior, adds fresh deodorizer, and restocks toilet paper and hand sanitizer.

Choose firm, level ground within about 25 feet of where a truck can park, away from food, open windows and low spots that collect water.

A unit on private property usually needs no permit. Placing one on a public street, sidewalk or park in Champaign, Urbana or another town can require city permission, so check before delivery day.

Clean, regularly serviced units have little odor. Deodorizer in the tank, roof vents, shade and timely service keep them fresh.

Porta potties work through Central Illinois winters. The tank gets a freeze-resistant treatment and service continues weekly as long as the truck can reach the unit.

Champaign, Urbana and towns within about 80 miles, including Danville, Decatur, Bloomington-Normal, Mattoon, Charleston, Monticello, Tuscola, Rantoul, Paxton, Clinton, Sullivan, Paris, Watseka and Pontiac.

Farms, rural homes and field sites are part of our everyday work. Tell us about the lane, gate and ground conditions when you call.

Deliveries reach Campustown, campus-area rentals and University of Illinois event sites. Campus property usually requires approval from the event organizer before placement.
