OSHA's construction sanitation rule, 29 CFR 1926.51(c)(1), sets the floor: 1 toilet for 20 or fewer workers; 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up to 200; and 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers above 200. OSHA also expects a worker to reach a toilet within about a 10-minute walk. On a Waukegan jobsite we recommend sizing above the OSHA minimum, adding a hand-wash station at the break area in warm months, and winterizing units for a season of about 129 freezing nights, placed on private ground rather than the curb so daily alternate parking and snow clearing never cut off service. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard Waukegan monthly rental includes 4 service visits over the 28-day period, roughly weekly. Each visit pumps the tank, sanitizes the interior, and restocks paper, soap and hand sanitizer. Weekly is the floor all year. On summer lakefront weekends, food-service events and large crews we add a mid-week visit. In winter, with about 129 freezing nights a year at the Waukegan airport, we recharge tanks with non-toxic antifreeze and check that doors and vents are not frozen, and we plan the route around snow clearing, which is one reason we keep units on a driveway or private lot rather than at a curb governed by the daily alternate parking rules. Service is built into the rate, so compliance never depends on anyone remembering to call.

For an event open to the public, yes. The 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design require that at least 5 percent of the single-user portable toilets in each cluster be accessible, with a minimum of one, and each accessible unit is marked with the International Symbol of Accessibility. (Units provided only for construction workers are exempt.) In practice a small Waukegan event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Waukegan run $374 for a weekend. The accessible unit has ground-level entry, interior grab bars, and a full wheelchair turning radius, and it needs firm, level ground with a clear approach path. Tell us your guest count and we will build the right ratio in.

On genuinely private property in Waukegan, a driveway, a parking pad, a fenced jobsite or a private lot with clear truck access, you generally do not need a City permit for a portable toilet. The moment any part of the unit sits in the public street, parkway or sidewalk, it is a right-of-way matter: under City Code Chapter 14 the Engineering Department issues right-of-way permits, the permit has to be obtained before work starts, and a copy of the approved permit must be kept on site. Curbside placement also runs into the City's Alternate Parking Ordinance, which moves legal parking to the other side of the street every day, so we prefer private ground whenever it exists. Events are separate: every special event needs a City permit applied for at least 30 days ahead, with portable restrooms shown on the site plan. A unit can never block a curb ramp, a hydrant, a driveway or the pedestrian path. Tell us the exact address and we confirm what your spot needs and coordinate it with the City before delivery.

A standard unit is the jobsite and everyday-event workhorse: enclosed, stocked, and cost-effective at $270/weekend. A deluxe flushing unit adds a foot-pump flushing bowl and an in-unit sink for guest-facing events like weddings and corporate functions at $374/weekend. A luxury restroom trailer is a climate-controlled, multi-stall unit with porcelain toilets, running-water sinks, and mirrors, indistinguishable from a fine-venue bathroom, from $1610/weekend. Pick by how guest-facing the site is and how long the rental runs.

Yes. We deliver and service portable toilets throughout Waukegan and the surrounding Lake County area, with same-day and next-day drop-offs available in most of the area when you book early.

Yes. A freestanding hand-wash station pairs with any toilet unit and needs no power or water hookup: it has a foot-pump faucet, soap, and paper towels, stocked at delivery and every service visit. One station serves roughly four toilet units, the ratio most health departments expect. For food and drink events in Waukegan, plan a station near the vendors and one near the toilets to cover both inspection points.

The event itself needs one. Every special event inside Waukegan city limits requires a City special event permit, applications are not accepted less than 30 days before the event, and the City encourages 60 calendar days when City property is involved. Events on the lake or beach are also reviewed by the Lake Front Coordinator. The City's special events ordinance requires your site plan to show the location, size and number of portable restrooms along with stages, tents and food booths, so we give you the unit and hand-wash count and a placement plan for the application. On the beach we set units on firm or paved ground at the edge of the sand, keep them off the natural dunes, and leave a clear lane for the service truck.
