Dirt, Soil & Fill Disposal Guide 2025

Profiles

Clean fill, mixed soil with roots, and contaminated soil (requires testing and special disposal). Keep streams separate.

Containers & Hauling

Heavy loads require careful sizing; consider multiple hauls of smaller roll-offs. Some regions support clean fill reuse programs.

Costs

Per-ton pricing; contaminated soil rates much higher and require manifests and approvals. Ask about reuse sites for clean fill.

Best Practices

Keep clean fill uncontaminated; cover piles to avoid stormwater runoff; obtain required permits for large earthwork.
