Find Sustainable Porta Potty
in Urbandale
At Prime Dumpster, we arrange porta potty rentals in Urbandale, Iowa, and across the established northwest side of the metro around it. Construction on commercial corridors and infill redevelopment, street preservation and paving programs, neighborhood festival events, parade routes, and park and trail projects all keep portable toilets in demand here.
Your price tracks the unit type, the quantity, the length of the stay, and the service interval. Below are the ranges, the planning counts, two City permits read closely enough to tell you what they do not cover, and the lead time to delivery.
Those Urbandale ranges assume a standard three-day rental. Four local factors move the figure.
Redevelopment rather than greenfield is the first, and it changes the job. Urbandale is a built-out city, so most work here is infill, tenant fit-out, and street reconstruction on tight sites with occupied property either side. That tends to mean fewer units in awkward positions rather than many units in an open field, and position is what drives the service time.
Rental length is the second. Events price across three days, so a one-day festival sits close to a weekend. Reconstruction and fit-out work moves onto a 28-day cycle, which fits a paving season.
Service frequency is the third. A visit means pumping the tank, washing and disinfecting the cabin, and restocking paper and sanitizer. A busy festival weekend or a large summer crew will usually justify a second visit.
Access is the fourth and it bites harder in an older suburb. A unit on a narrow street with parking on both sides, inside a fenced fit-out, or behind an occupied building takes the driver real time. Tell us the constraint early and it stays out of the price. Set handwashing stations beside any food.

Because the state sets no ratio and the City sets none either, your written calculation is what stands up. Our porta potty calculator produces one, and your account manager will check it against your plan.
Decide on the basis of the user and how long the unit must stand. The range sits on our porta potty options page.
The Standard Porta Potty covers fit-out and street work and informal gatherings, with seat, urinal, paper holder, and sanitizer.
The ADA-Compliant Porta Potty offers a level threshold, a wide opening, fitted grab bars, and chair clearance. Any Urbandale event open to the public should include one.
The Deluxe Flushing Porta Potty flushes fresh water from a foot pump, the sensible choice at a wedding or a neighborhood celebration.
The Deluxe Porta Potty with Sink holds sink, soap, and mirror inside the cabin, which suits a family gathering or anything near a food line.
The Solar Porta Potty powers light and ventilation from a roof panel, useful on trail work or a site with power not yet connected.
The Handwashing Station is a standalone sink with its own water, soap, and towels. Iowa's food provisions make one necessary where food handlers share toilets.
The Restroom Trailer supplies several plumbed stalls with heat and cooling, the usual answer for a wedding or a long contract.
Describe the guests or the crew to your account manager and they will fix the mix.
A unit on your own driveway, lot, or fenced site generally needs no City paperwork. Urbandale publishes two permits that sound as though they might catch a portable toilet, and read closely, neither one does. That is worth setting out properly, because assuming otherwise costs people time.
The right of way permit is for utility businesses doing excavation. The City's right of way and core hole page states that its municipal code requires utility businesses to obtain a permit to make excavations in city streets, the public right of way, and public properties. Both halves of that scope matter. The duty is drawn around a utility business, and around excavation. A restroom unit set on the surface is neither. Where the permit does apply, final approval follows payment of $105, each core hole in pavement carries a $200 fee, and the City requires the metro region's common application form rather than one of its own.
The hauler permit is for solid waste. The City's solid waste hauler's permit page requires an annual City permit for businesses engaged in collecting, transporting, processing, or disposing of solid waste other than waste produced by that person within the City. The scope noun there is solid waste. Waste from a portable toilet is septage, and Iowa regulates it through a completely separate state licensing scheme described below rather than through a city solid waste permit. So this permit does not reach the servicing of your units either. Applications go to Urbandale Public Works at 3600 86th Street by email or mail, and the department answers on 515-278-3900.
What that leaves. For a unit on private ground in Urbandale there is no City permit on the unit. For a unit actually occupying pavement, or for an event closing a street, call the City first, because neither of the two permits above is the right instrument and the City will tell you which desk is.
Two counties, incidentally. Urbandale is usually described as a Polk County city and most of it is, but the federal place record puts the same municipality in Dallas County as well, under one identifier in both rows. On the western edge that decides which county environmental health office holds the servicing file.
Your account manager can size the order and point you at the right City desk before delivery.
Placement is what decides whether a rental passes without a call.
Set units on firm, level ground, which on an Urbandale job usually means the existing paving rather than a strip of parkway. Older parkway ground holds water, and a unit on a slope is a hazard. Give the driver a straight approach and keep parked vehicles off it, which on these streets means telling the crew in advance. Keep the approach cleared in winter.
Hold units at least 15 feet from food service, and well back from storm inlets and from Walnut Creek. On a site, hold them no more than 200 feet from the working face.
One visit a week is the Urbandale starting point, with more where use is heavy or the weather turns hot. On each call the driver pumps the tank, scrubs the cabin, disinfects it, and restocks consumables.
Iowa decides who may do that work, through the scheme that explains why the City hauler permit is the wrong instrument. The state environmental agency licenses commercial septic tank cleaners and draws the definition widely enough that a firm owning and renting portable toilets is itself the licensed business, with the agency stating that a tank may be pumped only by a licensed cleaner. Enforcement of that licensing runs through county environmental health, so in Urbandale it is the Polk County office, or the Dallas County one on the western edge. Each journey is recorded against the site, the disposal method, and the quantity moved, held for five years and shown on demand. Spreading waste from toilet units on land is prohibited outright, so it goes to a permitted treatment works. Your account manager can name your service days and the disposal route.

Most Urbandale orders arrive inside 24 to 48 hours. Three to five days of warning is enough to fit the mix to the job and set the call pattern. For festival weekends, parade dates, and anything occupying pavement, book several weeks out.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges porta potty delivery across Urbandale and the northwest metro around it, including Johnston immediately north, West Des Moines to the south, Waukee, Ankeny, Des Moines, and Norwalk, covering both the Polk County and Dallas County ground this city occupies. Whether the job is a tenant fit-out, a street reconstruction, a neighborhood festival, a parade, or a trail project, we plan delivery, servicing, and pickup around your dates.
A standard Urbandale unit averages $199–$349 and an accessible unit $200–$300. The deluxe models occupy $300 to $400, and trailers begin at $1,500. Quantity, length of stay, service frequency, and how awkward the unit's position is on a built-out street all move the total. Your account manager returns a free figure.
Work from one unit per 50 guests over about four hours, lifting that 15 to 20 percent where alcohol is served. Iowa asks for an adequate number and sets out no ratio, so retain your own written reckoning. Add an accessible unit at a public event and a handwashing station next to food.
The national construction standards apply in Iowa by adoption, with the state's own agency inspecting. One unit serves an Urbandale crew of 20 or fewer. After that the table calls for one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers, relaxing to one per 50 above 200.
Weekly is the standard interval. The driver draws the tank down, cleans and disinfects the inside, and makes the paper and sanitizer good. Larger crews, festival weekends, and July heat all argue for a second call. Your account manager can arrange the visits around whichever days run hardest.
No, not for a unit standing on property you hold. Urbandale's right of way permit is drawn around utility businesses doing excavation and its hauler permit around solid waste, so neither catches a placed restroom. A unit on pavement is different, so call the City first.
A standard model is sized for one person and a single step through a normal door. An accessible cabin is wider, enters level with the ground, has grab bars, and leaves wheelchair turning space. Wherever the public is admitted, each cluster wants an accessible unit in it. Units held back for a building crew sit outside that duty.
A standard unit falls at $199–$349, and a weekend is charged as three days. A Saturday-only booking therefore lands near the full weekend price. Flushing deluxe models and trailers are costed higher. Your account manager fixes the weekend rate, the Urbandale delivery window, and the collection time.
Tell us about your event or project and your zip code. We'll size the Urbandale order, tell you which City permits do not apply to it, and give you a straight price on the call.
Your Prime Dumpster account manager holds the detail from unit count and service rhythm through to the Public Works desk and delivery timing, so nobody files a permit that was never drawn around a restroom in the first place.
