Choose A Bulk Dirt Disposal Method
An excavation project or erosion control efforts may result in excess dirt that you wish to have hauled away. Assess the volume of the material not needed and the types of machinery or vehicles that are at your disposal. These considerations will help you choose a disposal method.
Hire Someone To Haul The Dirt
There are specialized companies that deal with the transport of dirt and who will dispatch a crew and truck to your home to aid with the retrieval and transportation steps. With the hiring of a dirt hauling team, you won't need to perform the labor associated with moving the dirt from the ground, but you should have the material separated from items that you are going to keep.
A large pile of dirt can weigh a lot, especially if it has recently rained and moisture has penetrated through the pile. A company may list prices that are based upon the cubic dimensions and the weight of a dirt pile Use a tarp to cover the pile of dirt and hang a sign near it. This will keep the dirt dry and will alert the pickup crew to the location of the material that you want to be hauled away.
Move The Dirt Yourself
A bulldozer, a tractor, and shovel attachments can be used to transport dirt from its current location. Some companies that offer pickup services will drop a dumpster off on a client's property. This will allow a person to load the container up at their own pace. If you have enough machinery or accessories to move the dirt into a container, you may not be required to pay as much as you would be liable for if you were to hire someone to perform the loading steps themselves.
Another option is to use a personal vehicle to move the dirt. A flatbed truck, a trailer, or a pickup truck can be used to move loads of dirt to a business that is in need of the material. Business contractors or individuals who sell building and landscaping materials may be interested in the dirt that you are disposing of.
Often, farmers or people who will be performing some outdoor upgrades may be in need of fresh dirt. Advertise the amount that you have on hand and use a service that will aid with moving the material, if you are only willing to load the material into a container and will need assistance with having it hauled away.
