Free Dump (Transfer Station & Landfill) Weekends

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. 

Free Dump Weekends are the last full weekend of month, subject to change due to major holidays and weather. See current free dump weekend schedule.
