OSHA's construction sanitation rule, 29 CFR 1926.51(c)(1), sets the floor: 1 toilet for 20 or fewer workers; 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up to 200; and 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers above 200. OSHA also expects a worker to reach a toilet within about a 10-minute walk. On an Ankeny jobsite, where crews work through January lows near 12 degrees and a wet late spring, we recommend sizing above the OSHA minimum, winterizing hand-wash and flushing units, and placing units on firm, drained footing so a soft lot or a snow event never takes the restroom out of reach. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard Ankeny monthly rental includes 4 service visits over the 28-day period, roughly weekly. Each visit pumps the tank, sanitizes the interior, and restocks paper, soap, and hand sanitizer. In summer, with July highs in the mid-80s, busy jobsites and events get a mid-week visit rather than a stretched schedule. In winter, with January lows near 12 degrees and about 25 inches of snow a year, we winterize hand-wash and flushing units and plan routes around snow events so the truck can reach units in new subdivisions. In the wet May and June stretch we keep units on firm footing the truck can reach. Service is built into the rate, so compliance never depends on anyone remembering to call.

For an event open to the public, yes. The 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design require that at least 5 percent of the single-user portable toilets in each cluster be accessible, with a minimum of one, and each accessible unit is marked with the International Symbol of Accessibility. (Units provided only for construction workers are exempt.) In practice a small Ankeny event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Ankeny run $374 for a weekend. The accessible unit has ground-level entry, interior grab bars, and a full wheelchair turning radius, and it needs firm, level ground with a clear approach path. Tell us your guest count and we will build the right ratio in.

On private property with clear truck access, a driveway, a fenced construction site, a parking lot, or a private yard, you generally do not need a City permit for a portable toilet on a construction job in Ankeny. Two City processes can apply. For events, Chapter 11 of the Municipal Code requires a special event permit application through the City Clerk for private events of 500 or more people, events on public property, block parties, runs and rides, escorted events, and parades that also include a listed feature, and placement of portable toilets is one of the listed features. For the public right-of-way, the Public Works Engineering Division says work within City rights-of-way likely requires a Right of Way Permit, allow at least five business days for review, any lane, sidewalk, or trail closure needs a Traffic Control Plan, and the permit packet must stay on site. Tell us the exact address and whether the spot is private, public property, or right-of-way, and we confirm what applies and coordinate it before delivery.

A standard unit is the jobsite and everyday-event workhorse: enclosed, stocked, and cost-effective at $270/weekend. A deluxe flushing unit adds a foot-pump flushing bowl and an in-unit sink for guest-facing events like weddings and corporate functions at $374/weekend. A luxury restroom trailer is a climate-controlled, multi-stall unit with porcelain toilets, running-water sinks, and mirrors, indistinguishable from a fine-venue bathroom, from $1610/weekend. Pick by how guest-facing the site is and how long the rental runs.

Yes. We deliver and service portable toilets throughout Ankeny and the surrounding Polk County area, with same-day and next-day drop-offs available in most of the area when you book early.

Yes. A freestanding hand-wash station pairs with any toilet unit and needs no power or water hookup: it has a foot-pump faucet, soap, and paper towels, stocked at delivery and every service visit. One station serves roughly four toilet units, the ratio most health departments expect. For food and drink events in Ankeny, plan a station near the vendors and one near the toilets to cover both inspection points.

Often, yes, and Ankeny's rules say so directly. Chapter 11 of the City's Municipal Code requires a special event permit application for private events with 500 or more people at one time, events on public property, block parties, runs and bike rides, events that need a police or fire escort, and parades, when the event also includes at least one listed feature. Placement of portable toilets is on that list, along with street closures, food and beverage sales, tents, stages, and amplified sound. The application goes through the City Clerk's Office. A backyard party on private property is a different case. Send us your date, location, and expected crowd, and we size the units, include an accessible unit and hand-wash stations, and give you the placement details the application asks for.
