How we started
The owner spent years on construction sites watching crews scramble for sanitation. Portable toilet companies sent broken units or skipped service days. Septic pumping took weeks to schedule. Roll-off dumpsters cost twice what they should. In 2012 he decided to fix it by starting Cicero Porta Pros, keeping the business small enough to care about every rental but large enough to stock what you need. Today we rent portable toilets and deluxe flushable units to job sites across the city, handle septic pumping for residential and commercial tanks, and deliver roll-off dumpsters in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. We also stock restroom trailers for events, storage containers for job trailers and equipment, temporary fencing for site perimeter control, and handwashing stations for construction sanitation compliance.
What makes us different
Cicero Porta Pros answers the phone. Most rental companies in this market hire a call center somewhere else and pass the call to a third-party operator who has never seen your job. We take your call in Cicero. We've driven to your site. We know which alleys fit a truck and which ones don't. Our standard portable toilets hold 60 to 70 gallons and sit about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, so we can place them where larger competitors say it's impossible. We service weekly under the baseline interval for sanitation covered by ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, and we add extra visits if your site demands it. For construction sites, we know OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) toilet ratios by crew size and we stock ADA accessible units with 36 inch minimum clear width and one accessible unit per cluster of five under ADA Standards section 213.2 and section 403.5.1. We also offer emergency rental when a unit fails mid-week or a job expands overnight.
Our service area
Cicero Porta Pros delivers throughout Cicero and to nearby communities within a 15 minute drive: Forest Park is 4.7 miles northwest, Brookfield 6.1 miles west, La Grange Park 6.7 miles west, Maywood 6.8 miles northwest, and Melrose Park 9.4 miles northwest. For septic tank pumping, we service residential tanks typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. For grease trap pumping, we pump when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. We stock enough dumpsters to handle renovation debris, construction waste and demolition. If you need temporary power or light towers for evening work, we can coordinate those. Most rentals include delivery and weekly service, with pricing that reflects the fact that we're local and you don't pay for a long haul.
How much does a standard portable toilet cost in Cicero?
Standard portable toilet rental ranges from about 100 dollars per day to 200 dollars per week, depending on rental length and service frequency. See porta potty rental cost for current pricing in your area and monthly rental rates for longer jobs.
Can you deliver on the same day I call?
Same-day delivery happens most days before 2 p.m. if you call before 10 a.m. We keep units and dumpsters in Cicero, so we don't wait for a truck to come back from another city. Call to confirm availability for your requested time.
Do you rent to events like weddings and festivals?
Yes. We rent portable toilets, restroom trailers, and handwashing stations to weddings, festivals, marathons, and concerts. Restroom trailers include running water, flushing toilets and sinks, making them popular for events where guests expect comfort.
What happens if my portable toilet fills up between service days?
Call us immediately. We can deploy an emergency pumping visit, usually within hours of your call. We charge a service fee for out-of-schedule pumping but it beats a site shutdown and a portable toilet overflow.
Do you pump septic tanks for homeowners or only commercial?
We pump both. Most residential septic tanks need pumping every 3 to 5 years. If you notice slow drains, backups, or wet spots in your yard, call for an inspection before the tank fails. We offer emergency septic service when a backup happens on a weekend or holiday.
