15 & 20 yard roll-offs · 2 tons included · Delivery & pickup in the price · Flat rate, no surprise fees · Family-owned, based in Lathrop
Platte City is the Platte County seat, sitting right off I-29 at Exit 18 on Route 92. It's a small town with a courthouse square and a lot of property on the edges, which means the job mix here runs from in-town remodels and cleanouts to acreage work — outbuildings, fence lines, barn clearing, and the occasional whole-property cleanup before a sale.
We're a small, family-run outfit, so what you get in Platte City is the same two sizes at the same flat rate we charge everywhere, delivered by the people who own the company.

Where the dumpster goes in Platte City
Driveway or private property is the simple answer in Platte City. On acreage jobs we can set on gravel or firm ground near a barn or outbuilding — we just need a straight approach and room to back the trailer.
Do you need a permit in Platte City?
Platte City's Chapter 230 says hauling demolition and construction waste does not require a permit, and that solid waste containers belong on private property unless the owner has written permission from the City to use public property. A dumpster on your driveway is the straightforward case. Street placement is the one to ask about — give us the address and we'll confirm before we deliver.
Where Platte City debris actually goes
Platte County has no operating sanitary landfill that takes construction and household debris. The one facility Missouri DNR lists in the county is a utility waste landfill at the Iatan Generating Station in Weston, and that takes coal ash, not your remodel. So Platte City loads ride to Courtney Ridge in Sugar Creek. It's a real trip, and it's the reason every honest roll-off company in this area has a weight limit.

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 Platte City. 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
How much does it cost to rent a dumpster in Platte City, MO?
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, with no separate travel charge to Platte City.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Platte City?
Not for a dumpster on your own driveway or private property. Platte City's code requires written permission from the City for containers on public property, so street placement is the case we'd check on before delivering.
Can you deliver to acreage or a farm outside Platte City?
Yes. We set dumpsters on gravel and packed ground regularly. We need a firm, reasonably level approach and overhead clearance. After heavy rain we'd rather push the delivery a day than tear up your ground.
What size dumpster do I need for an outbuilding or shed teardown in Platte City?
A single-car shed usually fits a 15 yard. A larger outbuilding, or one with a shingled roof and a concrete-free floor structure, is a 20 yard job. Send a photo and we'll size it for you rather than guess.
How fast can I get a dumpster in Platte City?
Often same or next day. Call or text 816-750-DUMP and we'll give you a real answer based on what's already scheduled, not a call-center estimate.
What happens if I go over 2 tons?
Overage is $75 per ton, and we tell you before you book rather than after. If you think you're near the line — shingles, plaster, tile, wet wood — say so and we'll talk through whether to split it into two pulls.
