Find Sustainable Porta Potty
in Alton
At Prime Dumpster, we arrange porta potty rentals across Alton, Illinois, from the riverfront and downtown's brick streets to Upper Alton, the Godfrey Road corridor, the North Alton neighborhoods and the bluffs along the Great River Road. Construction in Alton includes historic building rehabs, new homes, church and school projects, and street and utility work. Events are a big part of the year too, with riverfront festivals, parades, farmers markets, ballfield tournaments, weddings with a view of the Mississippi and neighborhood block parties.
An Alton quote depends on the model, the number of units, how long they stay and how often they are serviced. Illinois is also one of the few states that spells out who is responsible if there are not enough units, and in Alton that responsibility can fall on you as the customer. The sections below explain that rule, the City's permit routes and the price ranges.
Getting the count right is worth more in Alton than in most places, because Illinois expects the employer, property owner or event coordinator to add units or service if the ones on site are not enough. Planning a little extra capacity at the start costs less than a rushed second delivery.
Hand hygiene is the second factor. Illinois makes hand sanitizer in every unit the default, with a standalone handwashing unit allowed in place of refilling sanitizer for up to five toilets. Which way you go changes the order and the price.
The river is the third. Riverfront sites can flood in spring, and Alton's hills and older brick streets can make delivery slower than the map suggests. Your account manager plans the route and the spot together.

Start with our porta potty calculator, then let your account manager build in the margin Illinois expects.
The right unit depends on the guests, the job length and the site. All the models are described on our porta potty options page.
The Standard Porta Potty is the everyday choice on an Alton job: one stall, toilet, urinal, paper and sanitizer.
The ADA-Compliant Porta Potty is wider, enters at grade and adds grab bars and turning room. Riverfront festivals open to the public should have one per group.
The Deluxe Flushing Porta Potty flushes and stays fresher, a good fit for a bluff-top wedding.
The Deluxe Porta Potty with Sink puts a sink, soap and mirror inside the stall for Alton guests.
The Solar Porta Potty runs a light and fan from the sun, handy for an evening event by the river.
The Handwashing Station gives an Alton site running water, soap and towels. In Illinois, one station can stand in for refilling sanitizer at up to five nearby toilets.
The Restroom Trailer offers private rooms with running water and climate control for a long rehab project or a large wedding.
Your account manager will combine units so your Alton guests and crews are covered.
On private property, usually not. A unit on your own lot or fenced job site is treated as site equipment covered by the work's permits.
The City publishes forms for street closures and special events. Alton's website offers a Street Closure Request Form and a Special Event License Application. If your event closes a street or uses public space, those are the starting points, and restroom units are part of the plan you describe. Your account manager can give you the count and placement to include.
For a unit standing in a street or on a sidewalk, call Public Works first. Alton's ordinances are published through a code service that asks automated readers not to crawl it, so nothing here says what the code requires for a unit in the right-of-way. The Public Works office at 2 Emma Kaus Lane, 618-463-3530, is the place to start, and your account manager makes that call and holds delivery until the answer is confirmed.
Illinois rules apply either way. Whatever the City requires, the state rule that the customer must add units or service when there are not enough still applies to your site or event.
Put each Alton unit on firm, level ground with a clear approach for the service truck. Keep them at least 15 feet from food, back from the riverbank and storm drains, and within about 200 feet of the crew on a work site. If you choose a handwashing unit instead of sanitizer, Illinois wants it within 20 feet of the toilets it serves.
Alton's terrain needs a little planning. Steep streets and bluff lots make a level spot harder to find, and low riverfront ground can flood after heavy rain upstream. On a riverfront booking, your account manager will ask about the river forecast and may suggest higher ground.
Weekly service is standard on Alton job sites, and busy events often need a second visit. On an Alton service stop the tank is pumped, the stall cleaned and the sanitizer refilled. Illinois licenses the businesses that service portable toilets, and your account manager confirms the licensed local partner and the visit days before delivery.

Most Alton orders can be on site within one to three days, and a specific model or large count may take about a week. For a riverfront festival or any event that needs a street closure, start several weeks ahead so the City's forms are complete first.
Five tips for an Alton order:
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster serves Alton and the Metro East, including Edwardsville 16 miles southeast, Granite City 17 miles south, Collinsville 24 miles southeast and O'Fallon 35 miles southeast. Godfrey, Wood River and East Alton are covered on the same routes, and Belleville is served too, so most Madison County orders are scheduled from nearby.
An Alton order runs $199–$349 for a standard unit and $200–$300 for an accessible unit. Both deluxe models are $300–$400, solar units $500–$600 and handwashing stations $150–$250, with restroom trailers starting at $1,500. Extra capacity for Illinois rules is the usual reason an Alton total grows.
For an Alton crowd, plan on one unit per 50 guests over about four hours and add 15 to 20 percent with alcohol. In Illinois, the event coordinator must add units or service if the count falls short, so your account manager builds in a sensible margin for an Alton event.
Federal rules apply on private Alton sites: one facility for 20 or fewer workers, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40, and per 50 at 200 workers or more. Illinois adds that the employer must add units or service if they are not adequate.
Weekly service is standard on Alton job sites, and busy events often need two visits. Each visit empties the tank, cleans the stall and refills the hand sanitizer, which Illinois expects at every unit unless a handwashing station serves the group.
On private Alton property, a unit is usually covered by your existing permits. A street closure or special event has its own City form, and any unit in the street or on a sidewalk is checked with Public Works first.
A standard unit is a single small stall with a toilet and urinal. An ADA unit is wider, has a step-free entry, grab bars and room to turn a wheelchair. Alton events open to the public should include one accessible unit per group.
An Alton weekend usually fits our standard short rental: $199–$349 for a standard unit, $300–$400 for a deluxe flushing model and $150–$250 for a handwashing station. Your account manager arranges delivery and pickup around your dates.
Tell us about your event or project and your zip code. We will size your Alton order with the margin Illinois expects and point you to the right City form for any street or public space.
Your Prime Dumpster account manager keeps the Alton details in one place, from unit count and service days to the City forms and delivery window, so you have one contact for the whole order.
