A film crew of 30 needs at least two toilet facilities on set per OSHA 1926.51(c), plus somewhere quiet for talent. Kenosha Porta Pros builds crew sanitation packages around call sheets, not guesswork, with units delivered and struck on your schedule.
It depends on crew size, location, and how far talent needs to walk from base camp to set. A standard unit works fine for grip and electric, but most productions want something better for the trailer area. A deluxe flushable unit gives cast and department heads a flush toilet and a real sink instead of a hand sanitizer pump. If you have anyone with mobility needs on the call sheet, ADA Standards 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster of portable toilets, and the route to it needs a stable, firm surface under ADA Standards 302.1. For bigger productions running multiple units, we spec the whole layout the same way a location manager plans parking and staging: base camp gets the deluxe and ADA units, the working set gets standard units close to the action. Multi-day shoots around Kenosha, whether you're at a downtown location or out toward Pleasant Prairie 4.9 miles south, usually run a mixed order rather than one unit type across the board. If your production needs a real bathroom experience for principal cast, a restroom trailer rental with multiple stalls solves the line-at-lunch problem entirely, and a 2 stall restroom trailer fits tight urban locations where a bigger trailer can't park. For crews of 50 or more, an 8 stall restroom trailer keeps meal breaks from eating into your shooting day.
Yes, most sets need more than toilets. If you're running lights, video village, or a base camp tent off generators, that's on you to coordinate, but we can pair sanitation with the site infrastructure that usually gets forgotten until call time. A portable generator rental film setup pairs naturally with a light tower rental for night shoots or early call interiors, and a temporary power pole handles longer-term production offices. Crews doing makeup, hair, or any prep work with aerosols or solvents fall under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1), which requires washing facilities where paints, coatings, or other contaminants are in use, so a handwashing station rental or portable sink rental near the makeup trailer isn't optional if that's part of your workflow. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), any washing station has to have actual soap and towels or a dryer, not just sanitizer. Productions locking off a lot or a building often need temporary fence rental to keep the public back from set, and a chain link temporary fence works for perimeter control while a crowd control barrier rental manages foot traffic if you're shooting somewhere with sidewalk visibility. Wrap days generate more trash than people expect between set dressing, craft services, and packaging, so a lot of Kenosha productions add a roll-off dumpster rental for the last day rather than hauling everything themselves. A 10 yard dumpster rental covers most single-location shoots.
Pricing depends on unit type, how many days you're on location, and whether it's a single-day shoot or a multi-week production. A standard unit runs in event pricing territory when it's tied to a production schedule rather than a flat daily rate, and trailers price differently depending on stall count and rental length.
| Unit | Day | Week | Event |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard portable toilet | $100 - $350 | $130 - $500 | $200 - $800 |
| ADA accessible unit | $200 - $400 | $240 - $400 | -- |
| Restroom trailer | $175 - $2,500 | $1,650 - $2,500 | $2,499 - $3,899 |
Delivery runs separately, typically $100 to $500 for a single-day drop depending on distance and access. If your location is out near Somers, 5.0 miles north, or further out toward Mount Pleasant, 10.7 miles north, factor that into scheduling since our trucks need roughly 60 feet of straight clearance behind them to deliver anything roll-off sized, which matters if you're shooting in a tight alley or parking structure. Full breakdowns of unit costs and duration pricing are on our porta potty rental cost page and our restroom trailer rental cost page, and if your shoot runs long-term, check monthly porta potty rental rates before you commit to weekly renewals.
Use OSHA 1926.51(c) as your floor: one toilet for crews of 20 or fewer, more above that. A 40-person crew usually wants three to four units split between working set and base camp, plus one ADA unit regardless of headcount.
Yes. A 4 stall restroom trailer works well for mid-size crews and gives cast a real door and mirror. Trailers need level, stable ground and enough clearance to deliver, similar to roll-off access requirements.
We handle rush requests when the schedule shifts, though same-day availability depends on our current route. Call ahead as soon as a location change is confirmed, and check emergency porta potty rental for our fastest turnaround option.
Placement in a public right of way needs confirming with the City of Kenosha before delivery. We can advise on unit placement, but permit responsibility sits with the production; see porta potty permit requirements for what to check first.
Yes. Multi-day and weekly orders include servicing scheduled around your call times, not fixed weekly visits. Tell us your shoot calendar up front so we route servicing between setups instead of during active filming.
