Plant contractors and the industrial edge
The water reclamation plant that takes up much of Stickney's east side runs a continuous program of upgrades, and the outside contractors on those projects stage in lots along Pershing and the plant's perimeter roads. Their restroom clusters go in the contractor laydown areas the plant assigns, outside the process zones, with standard units in rows, a deluxe flushing unit at the supervisors' trailers and handwashing stations for crews working with treatment equipment. The plant's own security sets the entry procedure, and our driver checks in at the gate the plant names.
West along Pershing and the streets behind it, warehouses, trucking yards and a scattering of manufacturers keep single units at the gate through the year.
The track, the race season and the village blocks
The race track on Stickney's border hosts a racing season and, in the off months, festivals, markets and film shoots in its lots. Event promoters there rent rows of standard units with ADA accessible stalls and handwashing stations at the lot edges, delivered the day before and pumped each morning of a multi-day event. Grounds and barn work between meets brings smaller, longer rentals.
The village's residential blocks west of Harlem are brick bungalows and small ranches, most with alleys, so a roofing or garage job puts the unit on the alley apron behind the house. The Village of Stickney's permit desk handles any placement on a village street or parkway.
Serviced with Cicero and Berwyn
Stickney is small enough that its stops fold into the weekly loop with Cicero, Berwyn, Lyons and Summit, and the driver comes in on Pershing or Harlem. Plant clusters often run twice-weekly service in summer when crews are largest, and the track's event units get daily pumping during a meet.
The open ground around the plant catches wind, so long-term units there are staked, and winter brings cold-weather tank treatment plus a shoveled path to every door on each visit. Spring rain leaves the track's grass lots soft, and event units stay on the pavement.
