What You Need to Tell Us
Start with the type of equipment. Are you renting a standard porta potty or do you need ADA accessible units? For construction sites, OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the toilet count: 1 facility for every 20 workers or fewer. Larger crews need more units fast. Tell us your headcount and we'll calculate it. If you're running a special event, event restroom rental pricing is different from a weekly portable toilet rental. We also rent roll-off dumpsters, restroom trailers, storage containers, temporary fencing and handwashing stations. Some jobs stack multiple services.
Next is duration. Per day, weekly or monthly rental pricing all differ. Weekend rates in Waterloo run higher than weekday rates for short-term pulls. Tell us your start and end dates and we'll slot you into the right bracket. A standard unit holds about 60 to 70 gallons and stands roughly 92 inches tall, so confirm it fits your site. Delivery fees change based on distance from our Waterloo location and whether you need weekend service.
Location matters too. Some sites need temporary fence along the perimeter, and placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. If your crew is applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires washing facilities with soap and towels or a hand drying device. Hand sanitizer alone doesn't meet code. Nearby towns like Cedar Falls 6.7 miles west and Evansdale 6.4 miles southeast add delivery distance; we serve those areas too.
How to Get Your Quote
Call us or fill out the form on this page. Have your dates, site address and equipment list ready. We'll confirm delivery can reach your location (a roll-off needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck) and ask whether you want septic pumping on a regular schedule. Most residential septic tanks are pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on household size. Commercial grease interceptors get pumped when solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. We'll email a quote with line items and ask you to confirm. No surprises at pickup.
What Happens Next
Once you accept, we schedule delivery. You confirm the gate code and any site rules. We drop the unit, mark it on a site map and give you a service number. For weekly rentals, we service the unit on your schedule. If you need deluxe flushable units instead of standard models, that changes both the quote and the service interval. ADA accessible units require a 60 inch diameter turning circle and a 32 inch minimum door opening width per ADA Standards. We handle compliance details so you don't have to.
How fast can you deliver?
We pull units same day in Waterloo for most requests if you call before 2 p.m. Weekend emergencies need 24 hours' notice. Event rentals book 2 weeks ahead to lock in dates.
Do you charge for delivery?
Delivery is separate from the unit rental. Cost depends on location, distance from Waterloo and whether it's a weekday or weekend pull. We'll include that line in your quote.
Can I rent multiple unit types together?
Yes. Construction sites often combine toilets, dumpsters and handwashing stations. We quote each separately so you can see the breakdown.
What if I need to extend my rental?
Call and let us know. If equipment is available we'll extend at the same rate. If you're switching to a longer term, we may adjust the daily or weekly price downward.
Do you service Cedar Falls or Hudson?
We serve Waterloo and the surrounding area including Cedar Falls 6.7 miles west and Hudson 10.0 miles southwest. Call with your address and we'll confirm coverage.
