Claude has been the Armstrong County seat since 1890, about 30 miles east of Amarillo on US-287. Dumpster rental in Claude costs the same flat rate as in town.
Claude beat Washburn for the Armstrong County seat by one ballot, cast by rancher Charles Goodnight. Platted in 1887, it’s the county’s largest town — its 1912 stone courthouse still anchors downtown, and the Armstrong County Museum nearby preserves Goodnight’s own house alongside the town’s ranching history.
That history shapes what a Claude dumpster call looks like today: established in-town homes and businesses around the courthouse square, plus the working ranch land that surrounds Claude on every side, including part of the JA Ranch itself, which still extends into Armstrong County.
Claude has also been a movie set — Paul Newman’s Hud was filmed here in 1962 — and plenty of those mid-century homes and storefronts are due for work. Dumpster rental in Claude, TX covers in-town remodels near the courthouse, ranch cleanups off US-287, and properties south of town along TX-207 toward the canyon country. Our how-to-order guide covers the full process.

A round trip from Claude to the Amarillo landfill is around 60 miles. Tearing down an old barn or gutting a 1950s house can fill a 20-yard — about 6–7 pickup loads, or most of a weekend on the road.
Barn tin, old pipe fence, and shingles are heavy and sharp. A roll-off handles them; a stock trailer doesn’t want to.
A quick reference before you start loading.
