Ankeny Porta Pros rents standard and deluxe portable toilets to Johnston, sitting 10.2 miles southwest of Ankeny. Delivery runs about 21 minutes, and we factor that distance into what we quote. Whether you're managing a construction job, hosting an event or handling a renovation, we keep Johnston equipped with the facilities your crew or guests need.
Delivery to Johnston from our Ankeny base adds distance to the truck route. Most customers see delivery fees between 50 and 150 dollars for a week-long rental, though short weekend jobs run higher because the driver makes a single trip out and back. Call us with your address and rental length, and we'll quote you the exact fee. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. We handle the logistics. Johnston's road access is solid, and we've learned the best routes. A standard unit sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, so confirm you've got the space before we roll out.
We rent three main types. A standard porta potty works for most jobs, with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank and basic ventilation. A deluxe flushable porta potty adds a flush mechanism and hand sanitizer, preferred on job sites where crews expect better facilities. An ADA accessible portable toilet meets accessibility codes if Johnston's permit requires it. We also stock deluxe restroom trailers with multiple stalls, sinks and flushing toilets for events expecting 50 or more attendees. Service happens once a week for typical rentals under 10 users over a 40 hour week, per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline intervals. Longer events or higher headcounts mean more frequent service.

OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) mandates washing facilities where employees apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, or work with other harmful contaminants. A handwashing station rental supplies soap and towels as required by 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2). Hand sanitizer alone does not meet the standard. If your Johnston crew handles those materials, add a station to your order. For general construction or events without those substances, a portable toilet alone satisfies basic sanitation needs. Most contractors add one anyway because crews appreciate it and spill costs nothing.
We also rent roll-off dumpsters and storage containers to Johnston sites, so you can bundle trash and equipment needs with restroom rentals and cut the number of vendors you're juggling. Ankeny Porta Pros handles the coordination.
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets minimums: one toilet seat for every 20 workers or fewer on a construction site, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up. Count your crew or guest list and add one extra unit. Events often run tighter because people use facilities in bunches. Venues like Johnston's parks and fairgrounds host 200+ person gatherings. We size those based on duration and the time of day. Call us with your headcount and what's happening, and we'll recommend the right number. Most jobs rent two or three units.
Yes, but weekend delivery costs more because it's a single trip with no other stops. We schedule those in advance. Call ahead rather than waiting until Friday afternoon. Ankeny's short distance to Johnston helps us fit weekend jobs in, but confirmation matters.
A standard unit has a basic seating area and ventilation. A deluxe adds a flush valve (no manual pump handle), hand sanitizer, and better lighting. The deluxe stands about the same footprint and height, around 92 inches tall, but feels less industrial. Most construction sites pick standard. Events and upscale job sites pick deluxe. Price and amenity match your project.
Weekly service is the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour work week. Longer rentals, more users or special events get serviced twice weekly or more. We pump and refresh the tank, restock supplies and check seals. Residential septic tanks typically pump every 3 to 5 years, but portable toilet tanks cycle much faster because they're smaller and denser. We handle the schedule.
Yes. Winter operation requires daily servicing to prevent tank freeze-up and ensure the seals function. Costs rise slightly because the work is harder. If you're renting November through March, tell us upfront so we can prepare the units and set expectations. Ankeny winters are cold enough that we've got the process down.
