How to reach Cedar Rapids Porta Pros
Phone is fastest for same-day needs. Email works for planning ahead. Our Cedar Rapids office handles rentals across the city and nearby towns including Marion, Hiawatha, Fairfax, North Liberty and Iowa City. You can request a quote online, describe your job, upload site photos if you have them, and we'll send pricing based on what you need and how long you need it. Standard portable toilet rentals run 100 to 350 dollars per day depending on unit type and duration. If you need ADA accessible porta potties, those run higher. For larger projects, monthly rates drop the daily cost significantly.
What to have ready when you call
Job site address in Cedar Rapids matters because delivery logistics differ block to block. Tell us how many people will use the facilities so we can size the rental correctly. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer; above that, the ratio climbs to 1 seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers. If you're renting a roll-off dumpster, mention the debris type and weight so we quote the right size. For septic pumping, know your tank size if possible. Residential tanks typically pump every 3 to 5 years. Give us your preferred rental start date and end date. If you need weekend service, mention that upfront because rates differ.
Service area and response times
Cedar Rapids Porta Pros operates throughout Cedar Rapids and the immediate region. Hiawatha sits 7.4 miles north. Marion is 9.5 miles northeast. Fairfax is 6.4 miles southwest. North Liberty is 17.7 miles south. Iowa City is 28.0 miles south. We confirm delivery availability at your address when you request a quote. Construction sites need different setup than events, so location and site conditions shape our schedule. If you need handwashing stations on a construction site where employees work with paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities with soap and towels or a hand drying device. We'll note that when you contact us. Emergency requests happen; call directly rather than email if you need same-day service.
Do you deliver on weekends?
Yes. Weekend deliveries and pickups cost more than weekday rates because crew scheduling is tighter. Quote that specific need when you call and we'll give you the weekend premium. Many customers rent for Friday pickup through Monday morning to cover weekend events, which costs less than split rentals.
Can I move a portable toilet once it's delivered?
No. Once placed, the unit stays in that location for the rental term. Moving it mid-rental requires a service call and repositioning fee. Plan the placement carefully with your site supervisor. If placement needs to change, call us and we'll discuss options and cost.
What happens if my septic tank backs up on a weekend?
Call our emergency line. We dispatch emergency septic service on weekends and after hours, though the fee is higher than weekday pumping. Getting the address, describing what you're seeing, and confirming access gets you faster response. Keep the number handy if you have a septic system.
Do I need a permit to put a porta potty on my property?
That depends on Cedar Rapids municipal code and your specific location. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. When you request a quote, mention whether the unit sits on private property or near the street, and we can advise what to verify. We do not file permits; you'll contact the city directly if one is required.
How far in advance should I book a rental?
Two weeks is comfortable for standard rentals. One week works if inventory allows. If you need restroom trailers for a large wedding or festival, book a month out because those units move faster. Summer and fall event season fills up. Call early to lock in dates.
