What does a portable toilet rental cost?
A standard porta potty in Waterloo runs from the low hundreds per day and drops on a weekly or monthly plan. Longer rentals cost less per day than short ones. Below is a summary; the full porta potty rental cost page breaks out delivery and service fees.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $100-$350 | $130-$500 | $125-$325 |
| Deluxe flushable | $85-$1200 | $150-$290 | ask |
| ADA accessible | $200-$400 | $240-$400 | ask |
Weekend event pricing on a standard unit sits around $125 to $400. Delivery is billed separately. For a per-day breakdown or a monthly plan, we list those on their own pages. Want a firm number for your address? The quote form or the contact page gets you one. Prices here follow measured market bands, not a guess. If you compare portable toilet rental companies, ask each one what the delivery and service fee adds. That is where quotes drift apart.
Which porta potty type do I need?
Four types cover almost every job. The standard unit is the workhorse for construction, farms and camping. It carries a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank and stands about 92 inches tall. The deluxe flushable model adds a flush and a sink, which suits weddings and festivals. The ADA accessible unit meets ADA Standards 304.3.1, which calls for a 60 inch turning circle inside. For upscale events, a restroom trailer gives real stalls and running water. Also called a porta john or a portable restroom, the standard unit measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, so it tucks into tight placement spots. Read how they work and whether they smell if you are new to this. Still unsure? The how many do I need guide runs the math.
How fast can you deliver a porta potty?
Most orders land within 24 to 48 hours. When we have a unit ready, our emergency service can hit the same day, which matters for disaster relief and storm cleanup. We serve Waterloo first, then the nearby towns. Cedar Falls is 6.7 miles west, Elk Run Heights 6.2 miles east and Evansdale 6.4 miles southeast, so those runs stay quick. Washburn sits 7.8 miles southeast and Hudson 10.0 miles southwest, both easy same-week drops. Delivery needs firm, level ground; ADA Standards 302.1 asks for a stable, slip resistant surface, and we follow that for safety. If you rent a roll-off dumpster too, remember a delivery truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it. Tell us the access on the quote request so the driver plans it. For placement details ahead of drop-off, see the placement guide and the winter notes.
How does service and cleaning work?
We service on a schedule. The ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 standard sets one visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, and that is how we plan a route. Each visit, we pump the tank, refill supplies and clean the interior. Read how often units get cleaned for the full routine. Heavy construction crews or a busy festival may need two or three visits a week, and we scale that up. A handwashing station or a portable sink gets serviced on the same trip. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), washing facilities need soap and towels or a dryer, and hand sanitizer alone does not meet that, so we stock the real thing. If your site sees paint, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities, and we set those up. Adjust service any time through contact.
What does OSHA require on a construction site?
OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the toilet count by crew size. One facility covers up to 20 workers. From 20 up you add a toilet seat and a urinal per 40 workers, and at 200 or more it moves to one per 50. Our OSHA requirements guide lays out the table in plain terms. Potable water is also required under OSHA 1926.51(a)(1), so pair units with a handwashing station or a drinking water setup. On a larger construction job, bundle toilets with a 30 yard dumpster, a storage container and temporary fence. Farms fall under OSHA 1928.110, which puts one facility per 20 hand-labor workers within a quarter mile walk; our farm restroom page covers that. Waterloo crews call us to right-size the count before an inspection. Read the placement guide so units sit where workers actually are.
What else can you deliver with the toilets?
Plenty. We stock 10 yard, 20 yard and 40 yard dumpsters, with a size and dimension guide and a weight limit page to help you pick. Not sure what goes in? Check what cannot go in a dumpster and the permit notes. For septic work, we run tank pumping, tank cleaning, grease trap pumping and emergency septic service. A grease interceptor gets pumped once fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of liquid depth. A home septic tank runs 3 to 5 years between pumps depending on size and household; see how often to pump and the warning signs. We also rent storage, a mobile office trailer, light towers and a temporary power pole. Need a holding tank? We carry those too.
Do you handle events and weddings in Waterloo?
Yes, and events change the math. A wedding or concert wants clean, private units, so a deluxe flushable or a restroom trailer reads better than a basic unit. We stock 2 stall, 4 stall and 8 stall trailers, plus a shower trailer for multi-day stays. ADA Standards 213.2 says at least 5 percent of clustered units, and never fewer than one, must be accessible, so we add an ADA unit to every event order. Crowd flow at a festival or a county fair often needs crowd control barriers too. We cover marathons, golf tournaments and film sets. Waterloo hosts plenty of outdoor gatherings, and the event restroom page and trailer cost page help you plan headcount and budget.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a standard porta potty per day?
A standard unit in Waterloo runs $100 to $350 a day, depending on route and how long you keep it. Weekly and monthly plans cost less per day. Delivery is separate. See the per-day cost page for the full breakdown.
How quickly can you deliver?

How often are units cleaned?
The ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline is one service visit a week for up to 10 users. Busy sites get two or three visits. Each stop pumps the tank and restocks supplies. More detail sits on the cleaning page.
How many toilets do I need on a job site?
OSHA 1926.51(c) starts at one facility for up to 20 workers, then adds a seat and urinal per 40 above that. The how many do I need guide runs your exact count for Waterloo crews.
Do I need a permit to place a unit?
On private property, usually not. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before we drop, and we will not name a rule we cannot verify. The permit requirements page explains what to check.
What is included with an ADA unit?
An accessible unit meets ADA Standards 304.3.1 with a 60 inch turning circle and a 32 inch door opening under section 404.2.3. Operable parts need one-hand use at 5 pounds max force per section 309.4. See the ADA requirements page.
Can you also pump my septic tank?
Yes. We run septic pumping alongside rentals. A home tank typically needs pumping every 3 to 5 years by tank and household size. Watch for warning signs or call our emergency septic line if it backs up.
