Dirt Dumpster Rental
Clean dirt, topsoil and fill go in a dedicated heavy-material box on one flat price, typically $750 to $850 for a 10 yard, with delivery, pickup and disposal included. Dirt weighs 1,500 to 2,700 pounds per cubic yard, so a 10 yard filled about halfway is the right box for most jobs.

Answered by Joe Woods, Commercial & National Accounts Specialist
Dirt weighs roughly 1,500 to 2,700 pounds per cubic yard, so a box fills by weight long before it looks full. Use a 10 yard and fill it about halfway, and keep the load level so it is safe to haul.
Answered by Michael V., Head of Operations
Keep dirt clean. Grass, roots, trash or construction debris turn a clean load into a mixed one, which costs more. If you have both dirt and concrete, ask for a mixed concrete and dirt box instead.
Answered by Joe Woods, Commercial & National Accounts Specialist
No. Soil with petroleum, chemicals or heavy metals is regulated by the EPA and state environmental agencies and needs professional remediation and an approved disposal site.
