A standard porta potty rental in Oak Park runs about $150 a day for a single unit, with weekly and monthly rates dropping the per-day cost once you commit longer. It's the same unit contractors, block parties and backyard remodels have used for decades: no frills, no flush, just a reliable stall that gets serviced on schedule. Oak Park Porta Pros keeps a full stock ready for same-week delivery.
It's the unit everybody pictures when they hear "porta potty." A standard unit measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank underneath the seat. No sink, no flush handle, no frills. That tank size is why it holds up fine for a solo homeowner project and still works for a job site running a full crew all week. If you're comparing it to something nicer, look at the deluxe flushable porta potty page, which adds a flush mechanism and a larger footprint. For jobs where accessibility matters, an ADA accessible porta potty is a separate unit built to a different spec, not an add-on to the standard model. Oak Park Porta Pros stocks both, along with restroom trailer rental options for events that want something closer to a real bathroom. Most Oak Park renters just need the basic unit, which is why it's the one you'll see parked outside remodels near Scoville Park and along job sites off Lake Street. If you're not sure which size or style fits, the how many porta potties do I need guide walks through worker counts and event headcounts before you call.
Pricing depends on how long you need it and how many units you're renting. Here's what the standard unit runs across common rental lengths:
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $100 | $150 | $350 |
| Week | $130 | $200 | $500 |
| Month | $125 | $200 | $325 |
| Weekend | $125 | $250 | $400 |
| Event (multi-day) | $200 | $400 | $800 |
A delivery fee applies on top of the rental, and most delivery charges for a single unit fall between $100 and $150 for a short rental. If you're planning a longer project, the monthly porta potty rental page breaks down how the per-day cost shrinks the longer you keep the unit. For a side-by-side of daily versus weekly math, see porta potty rental per day, and for the full cost picture including service visits, check porta potty rental cost. Weekend renters throwing a backyard party or hosting a graduation cookout typically land in that $125 to $400 weekend band depending on unit count and how far out from Oak Park the delivery truck has to travel.
Weekly service is the baseline for most standard rentals, and that interval comes straight from the industry's own standard. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week as the baseline, which covers most single-unit residential and small job site rentals in Oak Park. High-traffic events or full crews need more frequent visits, and that's a conversation to have before delivery, not after the unit is already smelling bad. If you want the mechanics of what actually happens during a service call, how often are porta potties cleaned covers the process, and do porta potties smell explains what proper servicing prevents. Construction sites have their own sanitation math tied to worker counts rather than a flat weekly visit. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the ratio: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers once you're above that, scaling down to one per 50 workers at 200 or more. That's the number a general contractor should be checking against crew size, not guessing at. The OSHA portable toilet requirements page lays out the full ratio table and how it applies to multi-unit sites, and construction site services covers what else a job site typically needs alongside toilets.
Oak Park Porta Pros delivers standard units throughout Oak Park and into the nearby towns Oak Park Porta Pros already services regularly. Maywood sits 3.4 miles west, Elmwood Park is 4.0 miles northwest, Melrose Park is 4.6 miles west, Bellwood is 5.2 miles west, and Brookfield is 7.6 miles southwest. Delivery trucks need about 60 feet of straight clearance to place a unit, so tight urban lots and alley placements in older Oak Park neighborhoods sometimes require a quick site check before the truck shows up. If you're placing a unit on a public sidewalk or parkway strip, that placement needs confirming with the city before delivery day, since right-of-way rules aren't something to assume. The porta potty placement guide covers ground surface and clearance basics, and porta potty permit requirements is the place to start on what the city needs to sign off on. For renters just outside Oak Park proper, the service areas page lists coverage, and dedicated pages exist for Maywood, Elmwood Park, Melrose Park, Bellwood and Brookfield.
A single-day rental typically runs $100 to $350, with most orders landing near $150. The exact price depends on delivery distance, how many units you're ordering, and how far in advance you book. Multi-day and weekend rentals cost more in total but less per day. See porta potty rental per day for the full breakdown.
A standard unit measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall. That footprint fits most driveways, job site corners and backyard placements without needing extra clearance beyond stable, level ground.
Yes. "Standard" and "basic" describe the same unit: a non-flush toilet with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank and no sink. It's the most common rental type for construction sites, home projects and casual outdoor events around Oak Park.
That depends on where the unit sits. Placement in the public right-of-way needs confirming with the city before delivery. Private driveways and yards generally don't need the same review. Check porta potty permit requirements before booking.
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires one toilet facility per 20 workers or fewer, scaling to one seat and one urinal per 40 workers above that. Crew size, shift length and site layout all factor in. The how many porta potties do I need guide walks through the math.
