Portable toilet rentals in Chicago are an incredibly convenient option whether you are hosting an event or have workers out in the field for hours on end. Access to supplemental porta potties on site (in addition to existing facilities) can be a lifesaver when you have more guests than usual or you don't want people trudging through your home or building during an event. Aptera makes renting portable toilets in Chicago, Cicero and Arlington Heights even more convenient than managing heavy traffic to and from onsite private restrooms.

For most people in Cook County a portable toilet isn't their first choice when they need to use the restroom. But they are a necessity during outdoor festivals, concerts, marathons and more, so it will help if you know the best portable toilet companies in Chicago, what type/size of toilets they can deliver, their daily/week/monthly rental rates, their reputation and more. We have done to legwork to take out the guesswork involved when you rent a porta potty or restroom trailer in Chicago. At Aptera we speak with every single partner we work with to ensure quality customer service and that their reviews are up to par.
There are an incredible number of options for portable toilet and restroom trailer rental in Chicago, Cicero and Arlington Heights, ranging for basic and small to large with various amenities. Choose from the following options:
Standard porta potties are only large enough for a single person to use the restroom at one time. While sizes vary slightly, a standard portable toilet in Cook County is typically 35 square inches.
*Note that the relatively tight squeeze inside the most basic portable toilets can make it difficult for larger people, or those with less mobility.
Options for basic units vary, starting with single, non-flushing toilet. Upgrades available include a flushing toilet (requires more space to support a large tank of water to be used for flushing), a separate urinal, toilet seat covers, hand sanitizer, or a hand washing station. Additionally, they often include toilet paper the length of the rental period.
A standard portable toilet most often has a 70 gallon tank attached, which is adequate for an event with 50 guests which lasts no more than four hours. (if you are serving alcohol at your event prepare for 25% more usage of the units as a rule of thumb) Porta potty companies in Chicago, Cicero, Arlington Heights and Evanston will usually service the units once per week if you are renting for ten days or more. For a frame of reference a single toilet can be used by a crew of ten individuals for a typical forty hour work week.
While some variation in price does exist across Cook County, the cost of renting a standard portable toilet is typically fairly similar from company to company.
A standard, non-flushing unit costs between $50-$120 for a one day toilet rental in Chicago. For a monthly rental, without weekly service, the cost is between $130-$350.
The premium for a standard, flushing portable toilet is about 30% to 50%. For a monthly rental, without weekly service, the costs are between $310-$550 for a month. *note that delivery fees can vary widely, make sure that this cost is included in your quote.
For events with guests requiring wheelchair accessible options, most rental companies have an ADA Compliant Portable Restroom available. These units have wider doors, larger interiors, and handrails for safety. While sizes vary, a handicap accessible portable restroom is typically between 62 and 77 square inches. Some cheaper units are “handicap accessible” but not ADA compliant. ADA compliant restroom trailers in Chicago are slightly larger and cost more, but they will pass all safety codes and more importantly better serve the needs of your disabled guests.
Some portable toilet options can be connected to the main sewer line for a full flushing and better smelling experience. These toilets are best suited for long term rentals such as a construction site where work may continue for months, as the process of connecting the main sewer line takes some planning and cost a little more. However, short term expenses can be mitigated by the reduced need for servicing portable toilets as often. Pro Tip: this can be a point of leverage when negotiating on a long term project.
Upscale events demand upscale bathroom options, and restroom trailers get the job done every time. As always, you have plenty of options:
Before renting a porta potty in Chicago, there a few questions you may want to ask to avoid any surprises and ensure your expectations are met. Remember that some companies try to deliver the minimum level of service and quality of toilet to drive the cost down, while others cater to those who want a nicer experience. It is up to you to communicate your needs and find the right match for your company.
It is important to know ahead of time if your rental will include toilet paper, hand sanitizer, or cleaning services, whether or not there will be a hand washing station, and what the delivery and service fee is. Or do they charge extra to clean out the porta potty if it is a multi-month rental?
Some companies may charge an additional fee for delivery and pick up, plan ahead by asking about the delivery cost before signing a rental agreement.
Certain seasons (summer!) are busier than others, and some companies may require you to place a deposit in advance to secure porta potties in advance.
It is important that portable toilet rental companies carry a minimum of liability insurance which protects renters in case of theft, damage, injury, or other unplanned events.
If you are renting for over a week, make sure to check with your provider to see how often they will be servicing the unit.
If you are renting a portable toilet, be sure to check if having your toilet serviced is included in the rental cost.
For weekend events, you may need to be ready to accept delivery on a Friday, and pickup on a Monday.
