Free Dump Weekends

Free Dump (Transfer Station & Landfill) Weekends

See information below regarding the City of Lamar's Community Clean Up Month for April 2025.

The City of Lamar is proud to offer “Free Dump” Weekends to Lamar residents and Lamar Sanitation customers. The intent is to assist residents who find the City’s standard fees a financial barrier as they dispose of household and yard waste that will not fit in a standard household dumpster.
