Event Portable Toilet Rental in Des Moines
Across Des Moines our fleet stages event portable toilet rental before the ribbon-cutting, tailgate, or concert starts. We deliver the right count to the staging area on the morning of the event, sized to your attendance count. Reserve units by calling (515) 200-1579.
Our coordinators walk you through choosing between standard units, ADA stalls, handwash stations, or flushable trailers, then sketch a servicing schedule that holds tight through tear-down.
Plan the right count
Attendee Quantity Math for Festivals or Concerts
Standard planning requires one portable toilet for every 50 to 100 attendees over a four-hour window. You should scale this ratio by roughly 30% more when alcohol is served to avoid long lines at each stall (each unit ships with a deodorizer puck). We provide a stall-count proposal to help you budget. Return to our multi-day event portable toilet rental pricing to plan.
Best for: General Attendees
Standard Event Units
The royal blue HDPE unit handles 250 to 300 uses between servicing. Each stall comes with toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and molded-in vents for airflow. Daylight enters through the translucent roof panel.
$175–$300 per weekend
Best for: ADA Compliance
ADA Accessible Stalls
ADA-compliant units feature a wider footprint and ground-level entry for easier access. Each stall includes interior grab bars and a sufficient ADA turning radius.
$225–$375 per weekend
Best for: VIP & Sponsor Areas
Restroom Trailers
Climate-controlled flushable trailers raise the floor for sponsor lounges, artist green rooms, and VIP ticketed areas — upgrade to a flushable restroom trailer for events.
$1,200–$3,000 per weekend
Send us your expected gate count, run time, and bar-service plan for the site. We will return a stall-count proposal within one business day for your upcoming event.
Multi-Day Event Servicing with Tank Cycling
For peak-load events we add mid-day service passes between headliner sets, routing the vacuum truck along the stage schedule so crews hit each bank during the quieter moments; foot traffic shifts then, and drivers can reach banks without crossing the audience. We also coordinate event ADA compliant portable restroom requirements with your accessibility lead during the same window.
Every event plan ships with a printed servicing schedule, a dispatcher cell line, and after-hours coverage in case attendance overruns the forecast.
The site plan that actually works:
Layouts for High-Traffic Festival Footprints
Banks Near Food Vendors
Cluster four to eight restrooms adjacent to concession rows so guests reach them in the same walk.
ADA Stalls on Every Bank
One wheelchair-accessible unit per bank keeps the accessible path under 200 feet from any seated guest with grab bars and level entry pads.
Handwash Stations Paired
A dual-basin foot pump handwash station next to every bank serves food vendors, with grey water containment underneath and a freshwater bladder feeding the basins.
Lighting and Signage Support
Solar bollards and tall directional flags keep restroom banks visible after sunset and reduce confused foot traffic across stage zones.
Share your site map so we can return a stall-and-bank overlay including add handwashing stations to your event lineup and signage drop points to your staging area. For broader planning context, see this event sanitation planning guide for festival organizers.
Frequently Asked Questions
+ How many portable toilets do I need for my event?
Start with one stall for every 50 to 100 guests during a standard four-hour window. Apply a 1.3x multiplier if alcohol service is planned for the event. Account for crowd demographics when placing each portable toilet. Please send your gate count, total run hours, and bar details for an accurate quote returned within one business day — (515) 200-1579.
+ How often will units be serviced during a multi-day event?
Every unit is cycled at least once per event day before gates open. We restock paper and wipe down each bank of restrooms. For high-volume festivals, vacuum pumper trucks also run mid-day service runs between sets to ensure every waste tank remains at proper capacity.
+ Do you provide ADA-compliant units for outdoor events?
Yes. We aim for roughly 5% of total stall count as ADA-compliant, ensuring at least one accessible stall in every restroom bank. Each meets ANSI Z4.3 standards with a wider footprint and ground-level entry, provided there is an accessible path to the site.
+ How far in advance should I reserve event restrooms?
For multi-day festivals and large concerts, we recommend locking in reservations four to six weeks out so fleet capacity can be routed efficiently. Smaller community events and 5K races usually confirm within two weeks depending on season and delivery window.
