15 & 20 yard roll-offs · 2 tons included · Delivery & pickup in the price · Flat rate, no surprise fees · Family-owned, based in Lathrop
Gladstone is eight square miles and essentially built out, which tells you most of what you need to know about the work here. There's very little new construction. What there is, is remodeling — kitchens, baths, flooring, roofs, finished basements — on a housing stock that mostly went up in the postwar decades, plus the cleanout and estate work that comes with a settled neighborhood where people have lived a long time.
Gladstone is also the one city in our area with an actual dumpster permit on the books, and it's worth knowing about before a container shows up in front of your house. We cover that below rather than burying it.

Where the dumpster goes in Gladstone
Gladstone lots are compact and driveways are often short, which makes size selection matter more here than in most places we serve. The 15 yard fits a standard two-car driveway comfortably. If your driveway is short or shared, say so when you book and we'll figure out placement before the truck is sitting in your street.
Gladstone permit requirements
Gladstone genuinely requires a permit. The City's Community Development department lists a Dumpster Permit on its permit applications page, sharing an application with the Portable Storage Container Permit, and the municipal code has a dedicated chapter — Chapter 2100, Portable Storage Containers and Dumpster Regulations. We are not going to print a fee or a day limit here that might be out of date; call Gladstone Community Development, or tell us your address and we'll walk through it with you before we deliver. Worth knowing: the small villages of Oakview, Oakwood Park, Oakwood and Oaks are separately incorporated within southwest Gladstone and have their own governments, so their rules may differ from the City's.
Where Gladstone debris actually goes
Gladstone's debris goes the same place everything north of the river goes — Courtney Ridge in Sugar Creek, because Clay County has no operating sanitary landfill of its own. On a remodel-heavy job that's worth thinking about: plaster, tile, and old cast-iron plumbing hit the 2-ton mark faster than an equivalent volume of cabinets and carpet. Tell us what's coming out and we'll tell you where you'll land.

Not sure? Describe the pile on the phone or text us a photo. We would rather talk you into the smaller container and be right than sell you the bigger one and watch it go back half empty.

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 Gladstone. 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 I need a permit for a dumpster in Gladstone, MO?
Gladstone does have a Dumpster Permit — it's listed on the City's permit applications page and governed by Chapter 2100 of the municipal code. That makes Gladstone different from most cities around it. Call Gladstone Community Development for current requirements, or give us your address and we'll go through it with you before delivery.
How much is dumpster rental in Gladstone?
15 yard: $325 for 3 days, $375 for 7 days. 20 yard: $375 for 3 days, $425 for 7 days. Delivery, pickup and 2 tons are included in every price.
Will a dumpster fit in a Gladstone driveway?
Usually yes, with the 15 yard being the safer fit on Gladstone's shorter, older driveways. We set boards under the rails to spread the load. If your driveway is short, sloped or shared with a neighbor, tell us when you book.
What size dumpster do I need for a Gladstone kitchen or bathroom remodel?
A single bathroom gut usually fits the 15 yard with room to spare. A full kitchen, or a kitchen plus flooring through the main level, is a 20 yard job. Older Gladstone homes with plaster walls and cast-iron plumbing run heavy — factor that into the weight, not just the volume.
Can you handle a roof tearoff in Gladstone?
Yes. For most Gladstone roofs the 20 yard is the right call because shingles are dense. Give us the approximate square footage and how many layers are coming off and we'll tell you whether 2 tons covers it.
How fast can you deliver to Gladstone?
Often same or next day. Gladstone is a straightforward run for us. Call or text 816-750-DUMP and we'll tell you what's actually available rather than promising a window we can't hold.
