15 & 20 yard roll-offs · 2 tons included · Delivery & pickup in the price · Flat rate, no surprise fees · Family-owned, based in Lathrop
Cameron calls itself the Crossroads of the Nation, and for once the nickname is earned — it sits where US 36 crosses I-35, and it's the only town we serve that spans three counties at once: Clinton, DeKalb and Caldwell, with most of the community on the Clinton side. It's also the only place in our area that belongs to both the Kansas City and St. Joseph metro areas.
Practically, that's a lot of jurisdictional lines for a town of 8,500 people, and it's part of why Cameron gets thin service from the big roll-off companies. We come up from Lathrop, which is a straight shot north on I-35, and we charge Cameron the same flat rate as everywhere else.

Where the dumpster goes in Cameron
Driveway, gravel or firm ground all work. On rural properties outside town we need a straight approach and overhead clearance for the trailer.
Do you need a permit in Cameron?
Cameron's ordinances aren't available in a form we could verify, and we're not going to reprint a permit claim from a competitor's page — some of those are demonstrably wrong for towns around here. The rule that holds everywhere: a dumpster on your own driveway or private property is straightforward. If it needs to sit in the public right-of-way, give us the address and we'll call the City before we deliver.
Where Cameron debris actually goes
None of Cameron's three counties — Clinton, DeKalb or Caldwell — has an operating sanitary landfill, per Missouri DNR. Cameron loads go south to Courtney Ridge in Sugar Creek or west toward St. Joseph depending on the load. We absorb that haul in the flat rate, which is why 2 tons is a genuine allowance and overage runs $75 per ton.

How it works
- Call, text or book online. Tell us what the project is and roughly what's going in. We'll recommend a size rather than upsell one, and quote you a flat price on the spot.
- We deliver to Cameron. Often same or next day. We set boards under the rails on driveway placements and put the container where you're actually working, not just at the top of the drive.
- Fill it on your schedule. Three days or seven, whichever you booked. Load heavy flat items first and fill the gaps — most people who need a second container filled the first one with air.
- Tell us you're done. Call or text and we'll pick it up. If you're near the weight allowance, say so and we'll talk through the cheapest way to handle it before we haul.
Frequently asked questions
Do you charge extra to deliver a dumpster to Cameron?
No. Cameron pays the same flat rate as Liberty or Gladstone: 15 yard $325 for 3 days or $375 for 7; 20 yard $375 for 3 days or $425 for 7. Delivery, pickup and 2 tons included.
How long does it take to get a dumpster in Cameron?
Usually next day, sometimes same day. Cameron is a straight run north on I-35 from our yard in Lathrop. Call or text 816-750-DUMP for what's actually open.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Cameron, MO?
On private property, generally not. We could not verify Cameron's specific right-of-way rule from published code, so if your dumpster has to go on a street we'll confirm with the City before delivering rather than guess at it.
What size dumpster do I need in Cameron?
The 15 yard covers a two-car garage, an average basement or a single-room remodel — about five pickup loads. The 20 yard is for roof tearoffs, whole-house cleanouts and bigger remodels. Describe the job and we'll size it.
Can you deliver to a rural property outside Cameron?
Yes. We set dumpsters on gravel and packed ground throughout this area. Firm approach, level spot, clearance overhead — that's all we need.
What happens if the dumpster goes over 2 tons?
Overage is $75 per ton. If you think you're close — shingles, plaster, tile, wet lumber — tell us before we haul it and we'll talk through the cheapest way to handle it.
