East Chicago sits 4.5 miles northeast of Hammond. A delivery truck reaches most job sites in that area in roughly 12 minutes from our yard. Delivery itself costs 50 to 150 dollars per week, depending on your rental length and the exact location. Weekend deliveries run higher, typically 125 to 540 dollars. If you need the unit dropped fast, a same-day delivery fee applies on top of the rental rate. Call ahead so we can confirm access to your site, some addresses need site surveys before we slot in a delivery time.
A standard unit from Hammond Porta Pros measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands 92 inches tall. That footprint fits most job sites, parking areas and event grounds. The holding tank holds 60 to 70 gallons and needs service roughly once per week for up to 10 users over a standard 40-hour work week, per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 industry baseline. If your crew is bigger or the event runs longer, we bump service to twice weekly or more. For sites with higher traffic, consider a deluxe flushable porta potty or a restroom trailer instead. We also stock ADA accessible units that meet ADA Standards section 213.2, which requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster. These cost more but open doors for workers and guests with mobility needs.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. Hammond Porta Pros can advise on typical rules, but East Chicago's permitting office sets the final say. Contact them directly before you order if the unit will sit on a street, sidewalk or public property. Private property placements usually skip the permit step. We've worked hundreds of jobs across the region, check our service areas page and call to ask whether your address typically needs approval. Once we know the location, we'll tell you what to expect.
Construction sites follow OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) toilet counts. One facility serves 20 workers or fewer. From 20 to 40 workers, add one toilet seat and one urinal. At 200 workers or more, the math shifts to one toilet seat and one urinal per 50 workers. These rules protect worker safety and health on the job. East Chicago has active construction crews in industrial zones near the lakeshore and along the highways. If your crew size falls in the middle range, we can help you figure out the exact count, most jobs need two or three units. For a construction site services overview, we've got guides that walk through sizing, placement and service scheduling. Call us with your headcount and we'll quote the right setup.
A standard portable toilet from Hammond Porta Pros costs 100 to 350 dollars per day. It has a manual flush, basic ventilation and a holding tank. Deluxe units run 85 to 1,200 dollars per day and add an electric flush, better lighting, a foot pump and a larger tank. The deluxe option suits events, film sets and upscale job sites where workers spend longer in the stall. For sites that need handwashing, we offer handwashing station rental as an add-on. OSHA requires washing facilities where crews handle paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), and those stations must include soap and towels or a hand-drying device, hand sanitizer alone does not meet code. Hammond Porta Pros pairs restrooms and wash stations on the same delivery, saving you a second rental.
Service frequency depends on use. A baseline schedule covers one visit per week for up to 10 users over 40 hours, per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. Heavy-use sites get twice-weekly or three-times-weekly service. We pump the tank, restock toilet paper and seat covers, and empty the waste holding tank each visit. The service fee runs 30 to 220 dollars per week depending on frequency and distance from Hammond. Weekend service costs more, typically 400 to 1,200 dollars, because it pulls a technician off the regular schedule. Let us know your expected traffic when you call. We'll recommend a service plan and lock in dates before delivery day.
Yes. Weekend delivery and service cost more than weekday rates because they pull truck and staff off regular rotation. A weekend delivery runs 125 to 540 dollars depending on rental length. Call early if you need Saturday or Sunday pickup or dropoff, holiday schedules fill fast.
A standard unit needs roughly 44 by 48 inches of level ground. If space is tight, tell us the dimensions. Smaller sites sometimes work with ADA units, which have a tighter footprint. For truly cramped locations, a 2 stall restroom trailer can sit in a smaller area than you'd expect.
