In 1946, Lyle Campbell entered the trash business when he purchased a small route from his brother, Lloyd Campbell. In 1947, Lyle Campbell & Sons was established. Lyle had a strong and dependable workforce in his three sons. Lyle grew the business by focusing on great customer service, hard work, and acquisition.

Lynn Campbell, much like his father before him, started his own trash route in 1978 after buying a small part of his father’s route. Big River Disposal was built on the same basic principles as Lyle Campbell & Sons. Lynn made commercial hauling the focus of his business, giving his customers the same level of service that his dad was providing to residential customers. After 44 years of serving New London, Hannibal and surrounding communities, Lynn sold the roll-off dumpster portion to his nephew, Jordan “Lyle” Gosney in July of 2021. In September of 2022, Jordan and his wife acquired the rest of the business from Lynn.

As a local and family-owned business, Big River Disposal strives to provide professional and quality dumpster rental and waste removal services to all commercial and residential customers throughout New London, Hannibal and surrounding areas.
