What Types of Portable Restrooms Are Available?
Most jobs start with the standard portable restroom rental, a 44 by 48 inch unit that stands about 92 inches tall and holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank. That covers job sites and casual gatherings fine. For a wedding or a backyard party where guests expect more, step up to the deluxe flushable porta potty, which flushes and includes a sink. If you need a fully plumbed setup, look at a restroom trailer rental: a 2-stall portable restroom trailer works for smaller events and is a common pick for a backyard party or portable restroom rental for party crowds, a 4 stall restroom trailer handles a mid-size crowd, and an 8 stall restroom trailer is built for festivals or multi-day builds. Anyone searching for a luxury portable restroom trailer rental in Gary should ask about the luxury restroom trailer line, which runs climate control and finished interiors. We also carry ADA accessible porta potty units and full ADA restroom requirements guidance, plus ada portable restroom trailers for larger accessible needs. Not sure which fits your headcount?

How Much Does Portable Restroom Rental Cost in Gary?
Pricing depends on unit type and how long you keep it. Here is what Gary Porta Pros customers typically pay, based on measured pricing across our service area:
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $100 - $350 | $130 - $500 | $125 - $325 |
| Deluxe flushable | $85 - $1,200 | $150 - $290 | - |
| ADA accessible | $200 - $400 | $240 - $500 | - |
| Restroom trailer | $175 - $2,500 | $1,650 - $2,500 | - |
A standard unit rented for a weekend event runs $125 to $400, and delivery adds a separate fee on top of the rental. For a deeper breakdown by term, see porta potty rental cost, porta potty rental per day, and monthly porta potty rental. Dumpster and fencing add-ons for the same job site are priced separately on roll-off dumpster rental and temporary fence rental.
How Many Units Does My Event or Job Site Need?
For construction sites, OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers as crew size climbs past that, dropping to one per 50 workers at 200 or more. That rule applies to construction site services and any construction dumpster rental project running alongside it. Farms with hand-labor crews fall under a different standard: OSHA 1928.110 calls for potable water, toilets and handwashing within a quarter mile walk, at one facility per 20 employees, which matters for farm and agricultural restrooms. For parties and events there is no OSHA headcount rule, but the industry baseline from ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 assumes one unit services up to 10 users comfortably over a 40 hour week, so we scale up fast for weddings, festivals and races. Full guidance lives on OSHA portable toilet requirements, and event-specific advice is split out across wedding restroom rental, festival restroom rental, concert restroom rental, and marathon and race restrooms.
Do Portable Restrooms Meet ADA Requirements?
Yes, when placed and sized correctly. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires that at least 5 percent of clustered single-user units be accessible, with a minimum of one no matter how small the cluster. Accessible units also need a 60 inch turning circle under section 304.3.1, a 32 inch clear door opening under section 404.2.3, and a 36 inch clear approach route under section 403.5.1. Ground surfaces have to stay stable and slip resistant per section 302.1, and door hardware has to operate with one hand and no more than 5 pounds of force under section 309.4. We place ADA units on every job that requires them, whether that is a Gary construction site or a golf tournament out at golf tournament restrooms. If you are unsure what your event needs, the ADA restroom requirements page covers the full list, and porta potty placement guide explains ground clearance and access paths in more detail.
Handwashing is a separate question from toilets. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), washing facilities need soap and towels or a hand-drying device; sanitizer alone does not satisfy that standard. If your crew is applying paint, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities specifically for that exposure. We rent handwashing station rental units and portable sink rental stations to cover both, and handwashing requirements breaks down which standard applies to which job.
How far in advance should I book a portable restroom trailer?
Standard units are often available within a day or two. Restroom trailers, especially multi-stall or luxury models, book out faster for weekend events, so reserve those 2 to 3 weeks ahead if you can. Call sooner for festival season or graduation weekends.
Can I rent a portable restroom for a single-day party?
Yes. A standard unit runs a day rate, and a deluxe flushable unit is available on the same short-term basis. Weekend rates apply if your event spans Friday through Sunday, which usually works out cheaper than three separate day rentals.
What is the difference between a porta potty and a restroom trailer?
A porta potty is a self-contained single unit with a holding tank and no plumbing hookup. A restroom trailer has multiple stalls, running water, and sometimes climate control, closer to a real bathroom. Trailers cost more but suit weddings and multi-day events better.
Do you deliver outside Gary?
Yes. We serve Hobart, Merrillville at 10.8 miles south, Portage at 12.5 miles east, and Schererville at 13.3 miles southwest, and we field plenty of calls asking about portable restroom trailer rental Michigan and portable restroom rental Cape Coral, though our delivery radius stays centered on the Gary area listed here. Check service areas for the full coverage map, or request a delivery quote directly through request a quote.
Are hand sanitizer stations enough instead of a handwashing station?
No. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a drying device, and sanitizer alone does not meet that standard on a job site. Events can supplement with a hand sanitizer station rental, but pair it with a proper handwashing unit where the standard applies.
