What does delivery cost across the service area?
Delivery is billed per trip, and the drive length drives the number. A run inside Gary sits at the low end. Schererville, 13.3 miles southwest, sits higher. Here is the measured band for a weekday delivery.
| Service | Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Delivery fee | Per trip (day) | $100 | $150 | $500 |
| Delivery fee | Per trip (week) | $50 | $100 | $150 |
Weekend delivery is a premium, running about 200 dollars typical for a single trip. That is why we bundle stops when a route passes multiple sites. A standard porta potty delivered with a handwashing station shares one fee. Servicing follows ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, one visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Need more traffic covered? We add visits. Ask about monthly rental if the job runs long, and check the per-day rate for short ones. A standard unit is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, so most driveways and lots fit one without trouble.
Which towns near Gary does Gary Porta Pros serve?
We run to five measured towns plus Gary itself. Each has its own page with local detail.
Hobart is 8.5 miles southeast, close to Lake George in the old downtown. Book a unit in Hobart or a dumpster for a teardown there. Merrillville sits 10.8 miles south along the US 30 retail corridor, and we cover it with restroom rental in Merrillville and restroom trailers for banquet halls. Portage is 12.5 miles east near the Lake Michigan shoreline, so book Portage service for beach and park work, plus septic pumping out that way.
Calumet City is 13.0 miles west across the Illinois line. Grab Calumet City rental or a storage container there. Schererville, 13.3 miles southwest, is the far edge; see Schererville service and temporary fencing. All routes come back through Gary, our base.
How fast can we deliver in Gary?
Same-week is normal, and emergencies move faster. We keep emergency units staged for storm and disaster work. On construction sites in Gary, OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then adds a seat and urinal per 40 workers past that, so we size the order to your crew. If a job runs paints or herbicides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities, and 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) says those need soap and towels, not just sanitizer.
Placement matters. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, which we scout before the drop. For ADA units, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of a cluster be accessible, never fewer than one. Read the placement guide before you pick a spot, and the OSHA requirements page for crew math. Want a deluxe flushable unit or a luxury trailer? We stock both. Start at the quote page.
Do you charge more for towns farther from Gary?
Yes. Delivery is a per-trip fee tied to drive distance, so Schererville at 13.3 miles southwest costs more than a run inside Gary. We tell you the number before you book. Bundling units on one stop keeps the fee to a single charge.
What is the farthest you deliver?
Schererville is our measured edge at 13.3 miles southwest. Calumet City runs 13.0 miles west across the state line. If your address sits past those, call us anyway. We route by drive time, and some spots outside the list are still reachable. Use the contact page.
Can you service a site every week?
Yes. The ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline is one visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Heavier traffic gets more visits. See how often units are cleaned for what a service stop covers, and do porta potties smell for why the interval matters.
Do you handle septic and grease trap work in these towns?
We do. A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years by tank and household size, and a grease interceptor gets pumped at 25 percent fats, oils, grease and solids. Book septic tank cleaning or grease trap pumping anywhere we deliver toilets.
What else can you bring on the same trip?
Plenty. We load dumpsters, storage containers, mobile office trailers and crowd control barriers on the same route. Combining orders keeps you at one delivery fee instead of several. See the full service list on the home page.
