Urbandale sits 16.9 miles southwest of Ankeny, about 26 minutes by car. Ankeny Porta Pros serves that distance with standard, deluxe and ADA accessible units, plus delivery and weekly service calls. You'll pay a delivery fee to reach Urbandale from our Ankeny base, but the rental rates stay the same whether you're in town or across the metro.
A delivery to Urbandale from Ankeny runs $50 to $150 per trip, depending on the unit size and how many you're renting. Most customers find it worthwhile to rent for at least a week, since a longer rental spreads the delivery cost across more days. We handle placement and pickup; you just tell us where on your property the unit needs to sit. If you're renting for an event restroom rental or a short project, ask about weekend rates when you call for a quote.
The answer depends on how many people you're serving and for how long. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and fits in tight spaces, standing about 92 inches tall and taking up roughly 44 by 48 inches on the ground. For construction crews, OSHA 1926.51(c) requires 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up. That means a 10-person crew needs one unit per week, but a 50-person job needs three. How many porta potties do I need walks through the math for your exact crew size. Deluxe flushable units cost more but feel closer to a real bathroom. If your Urbandale site has ADA requirements, we stock ADA accessible porta potty units that meet Standards section 213.2, which requires at least 5 percent of clustered single-user units to be accessible, never fewer than one.
Yes. We run weekly service as the baseline interval under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the portable sanitation service standard. One visit per week covers up to 10 users over a 40-hour week. For busier sites or special events, we can schedule extra visits. Weekend emergency service is available but costs more. Urbandale's 16.9 miles southwest of Ankeny mean your weekly route is locked in once you book, so scheduling stays predictable. If you need a restroom trailer rental instead, for example, a construction office or a large event, we deliver those too, and a trailer gives you real plumbing, handwashing and often multiple stalls. Check our service areas to confirm coverage for your exact Urbandale address.
Yes. Ankeny Porta Pros serves Urbandale with roll-off dumpster rental in 10, 20, 30 and 40-yard sizes, plus storage container rental for long-term equipment or material staging. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so we'll confirm your site access when you call. Dumpster placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city, we can't give you that rule number, so check with Urbandale before you rent. For construction debris, renovation waste or landscaping cleanup, construction dumpster rental is the fastest way to clear the site. Storage containers stay on the ground and don't need a power hookup, making them ideal for Urbandale job sites where you're staging materials week to week.
Most residential septic tanks pump every 3 to 5 years, driven by tank size and household size. If you're renting in Urbandale and serving a temporary crew or event, you might need septic pumping service instead of a portable toilet. We handle that too.
A standard unit is basic and reliable. A deluxe unit has a flush, a sink and better finishes, it feels more like a real bathroom. Both sizes fit most sites.
Treated tanks control odor. Weekly service removes waste before smell builds up. A portable toilet rental in heavy use may need twice-weekly visits.
