How far is Rock Island Arsenal from Davenport?
Rock Island Arsenal lies 6.1 miles southeast of Davenport. The drive takes roughly 17 minutes from our base. That distance triggers a delivery charge on every rental, whether you're renting a standard porta potty or an ADA accessible unit. Davenport Porta Pros services the whole region, including Rock Island Arsenal and surrounding military and industrial facilities. If you're coordinating a project there, confirm the exact drop spot with your site supervisor first. We'll need clear access to your location and space for the truck to maneuver. A roll-off dumpster or storage container can occupy space fast, so plan placement early.
What are the delivery costs to Rock Island Arsenal?
Delivery fees to Rock Island Arsenal run between $100 and $150 for a single day rental, plus the unit cost itself. A weekly rental adds a delivery fee in the $50 to $150 range depending on your needs. Monthly placements run $120 to $420 for delivery alone. These costs cover the 6.1-mile haul southeast from Davenport and the time required to position equipment safely. The exact fee depends on what you're renting, a deluxe flushable porta potty costs more to deliver than a standard unit because of its size and weight. Request a quote with your exact location and dates, and we'll give you a firm number. Don't forget to budget for service visits, which happen weekly under the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 standard for units serving up to 10 users over a 40-hour week.
Do I need a permit to place a porta potty at Rock Island Arsenal?
Rock Island Arsenal is federal property, so municipal permitting rules don't apply the way they do in Davenport itself. You'll work directly with the Arsenal's facilities or site coordinator to get approval for placement. That person controls where equipment goes, how long it can stay, and whether utilities or specific safety measures are required. Contact your project manager or the Arsenal's main office to start that conversation. Davenport Porta Pros will coordinate with whoever has authority over the site. If you're unsure who that is, we can help you find the right contact. Our service areas include the Arsenal and nearby towns, and we've worked with enough federal facilities to know the approval process varies by location.
What rental types work best for Arsenal projects?
Standard portable toilets are the workhorse choice for construction sites and industrial facilities at the Arsenal. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and stands about 92 inches tall, fitting most job sites without special rigging. If the crew is small, under 20 workers, one standard toilet usually covers your needs under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1). Larger crews need more units. For professional or office settings, a restroom trailer offers climate control, running water, and multiple stalls in a single towed unit. Handwashing stations are required by 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) when crews work with paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, they must include soap and towels or a drying device, not hand sanitizer alone. A grease trap pumping service is essential if your facility has a commercial kitchen or food service operation. Rock Island Arsenal hosts military personnel, contractors, and visiting crews, so site needs vary widely. Tell us what your crew does and for how long, and we'll size your rental correctly.
Frequently asked questions
How many porta potties do I need for a crew at Rock Island Arsenal?
Under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1), provide 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer. Above 20, add 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers up to 200, then per 50 workers at 200 or more. A crew of 12 needs one unit. Forty people need two. Ask us for help sizing if your headcount is unclear.
Can Davenport Porta Pros service my rental weekly?

Is there a restroom trailer option for long-term Arsenal projects?
A restroom trailer rents weekly at $150 to $1,650 or monthly for $100 and up. Trailers include sinks with running water, heat in winter, and multiple stalls. They cost more upfront but save money over several months and improve crew morale. Monthly contracts often bundle delivery and service, bringing your true cost down.
