Ankeny Porta Pros delivers portable toilets, dumpsters, restroom trailers and septic service across Ankeny and five nearby towns, the farthest being Waukee at 26.5 miles. Delivery starts around 100 dollars inside Ankeny and scales with distance and unit count. Tell us the address and we'll price the run before the truck leaves.
We're based in Ankeny and most jobs stay close to home. A standard porta potty rental covers construction crews and backyard work, while a deluxe flushable unit suits weddings and nicer events. On a construction site, OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, which is where our OSHA requirements guide helps you plan the count. Need more than toilets? We run roll-off dumpsters, storage containers, temporary fence and septic pumping on the same routes.
Delivery inside Ankeny is the cheapest leg. A roll-off drop needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so measure the approach before we roll in. For bigger events, a restroom trailer or handwashing station rides along with the toilets. Not sure what you need? Start at the home page or request a quote and we'll size it.
We measured the drive to each town, so these are real distances, not guesses. Every suburb has its own page.
| Town | Distance | Direction | Page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Johnston | 10.2 mi | southwest | Johnston rentals |
| Altoona | 12.5 mi | southeast | Altoona rentals |
| Urbandale | 16.9 mi | southwest | Urbandale rentals |
| Clive | 18.4 mi | southwest | Clive rentals |
| Waukee | 26.5 mi | southwest | Waukee rentals |
Johnston sits 10.2 miles southwest along the Saylorville side. Altoona runs 12.5 miles southeast, close to Adventureland crowds who need event restroom rental. Urbandale is 16.9 miles out and full of home projects that pair a home renovation porta potty with a dumpster. Clive at 18.4 miles and Waukee at 26.5 miles are our longest hauls, so delivery there costs more than a local Ankeny drop. Booking a festival restroom setup or wedding restroom rental in any of these? Give us the count and the date.
Distance drives the delivery fee, not the rental rate. A unit rents for the same weekly price in Ankeny as it does in Waukee, but the truck runs farther, so the fee climbs. Here's the delivery band by duration.
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | 100 | 150 | 500 |
| Week | 50 | 100 | 150 |
| Month | 120 | 172 | 420 |
A weekend delivery runs a premium, typically around 200 dollars, because it's short-notice off-hours work. The rental itself is a separate line. See the full porta potty rental cost page or the per-day rate if you want the numbers before you call.
Service is weekly under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, which sets one visit per week for up to 10 users on a 40 hour week. That covers pumping the 60 to 70 gallon tank and restocking. Washing stations matter too: 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a dryer, and hand sanitizer alone does not meet it. For crews applying herbicides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities on top of the toilets. Check the septic pumping cost page if your site runs on a tank instead. We serve every corner of Ankeny and the towns in the table above, and the contact page has our number.
Yes, a little. The rental rate stays flat, but the delivery fee rises with mileage. Waukee at 26.5 miles costs more to reach than a drop across Ankeny. We quote the fee up front so there's no surprise. See the service areas hub links for your town.
Our measured range runs to Waukee, 26.5 miles southwest. We cover Johnston, Altoona, Urbandale and Clive in between. If your site sits past that, call anyway and we'll tell you honestly whether we can make the run and what the delivery adds.
Permit rules differ by town and we have not verified them, so we won't quote a code. If your unit sits on a public street or right of way, confirm with that city first. Our permit requirements guide explains what to ask before you place it.
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one seat and one urinal per 40 workers above that. Event math is different and runs on headcount and hours. Our how many porta potties tool walks you through both.
Yes. We combine construction site services on one trip, which saves a second delivery fee. A dumpster needs 60 feet of clearance behind the truck to set down. Pick a size on the dumpster sizes page and we'll match it to the toilet order.
