The Ultimate Dirt, Rock & Soil Removal Guide 2026
How to Get Rid of Dirt, Rock & Soil Safely, Legally, and Hassle-Free
Dirt, rocks, concrete removal and soil can be extremely heavy, messy, and time-consuming to remove. And unlike old furniture or appliances, you generally can’t leave piles of dirt or construction debris on the curb local rules forbid it in many cities, including Seattle.
This short guide walks you through responsible ways to dispose of dirt, rock, and soil, explains your options, and shows why hiring a professional junk removal company can be the fastest, safest, and most eco-friendly solution.
Quick note: to get an accurate up-front price, use our online booking or call we’ll ask about the type of dirt, approximate volume, and access so we can give accurate pricing and same-day availability when possible.
Step 1: Assess What You’re Hauling
Since dirt, rocks, and soil aren’t items you “donate,” start by identifying the material and estimating Cubic volume. That helps us give accurate pricing and recommend the best removal option.
Can You Haul It Yourself?
Before choosing a disposal method, consider:
- Do you have a truck with the payload to haul dirt haul loads safely?
- Can you lift and load heavy soil or large landscaping rocks without risking injury?
- Do you have time for multiple trips and weight-based disposal fees?
You can haul dirt yourself, but it often requires a high-capacity truck, shovels, wheelbarrows, tarps, and permits for large loads. One cubic yard of soil can weigh roughly 2,000–3,000+ lbs depending on moisture and composition, so give accurate details when you request a quote. For most homeowners, hiring a professional dirt removal service saves time, reduces heavy lifting, and avoids multiple trips to disposal sites.
Where To Haul It To?
If you DIY, you’ll likely take material to a landscape recycling center, C&D recycling yard, green waste facility, or a certified landfill that accepts fill material. Many facilities have strict rules about clean-dirt separation, rock contamination, and weight limits check local Seattle drop-off guidelines or ask us to help find the right location.
Quick DIY vs Professional snapshot: a DIY run (fuel + disposal fees + labor + time) for a yard load often equals or exceeds the cost of hiring pros, especially when you factor in multiple trips and landfill scale fees. Call or book pickup online to get an upfront price and a side-by-side estimate for your specific project.
Step 2: Understand Your Dirt, Rock & Soil Disposal Options
Option A: City Bulk Pickup
Some cities accept limited amounts of dirt or rocks through bulk pickup programs, but policies vary widely many require materials to be staged curbside and limit weight or volume.
Key limitations to expect:
- Curbside placement often required crews may not load from backyard.
- Weight and volume caps heavy loads often aren’t accepted.
- Some cities (including parts of the Seattle area) do not accept dirt, soil, sand, or rocks via bulk pickup.
- Available only on certain days plan ahead if you rely on municipal pickup.
Always check your city’s guidelines (or ask our team) if you’re in Seattle we can confirm local rules and recommend the right option.
Option B: Do-It-Yourself Dirt, Rock & Soil Drop-Off
If you choose DIY drop-off, typical destinations include:
- Landfills (weight-based fees apply)
- C&D recycling centers
- Green waste facilities
- Soil recycling yards (best for clean dirt)
What you’ll need for DIY:
- A truck with high payload capacity
- Shovels, wheelbarrows, and tarps
- Money for disposal fees (they are weight-based)
- A lot of physical labor and multiple trips
Soil removal is extremely heavy one cubic yard can weigh 2,000-3,000+ lbs depending on moisture and compaction so DIY isn’t always practical or safe.

Dirt, Rock, Soil Removal FAQs
Got questions? We’ve got you covered. Check out the most common questions people ask about our junk removal services:
How much dirt can you remove?
We can remove pretty much as much dirt as you need gone, from a couple of bags to several cubic yards. Whether it is leftover from a weekend project or a full landscaping or construction job, our dirt removal service scales with the size of your project. We bring the heavy machinery, crew, tools, and truck space to load and haul it away safely. If you have a pile you keep saying you will deal with “later,” we can make it disappear in one visit.
Do you remove soil mixed with rocks or roots?
Yes, we can take soil that is mixed with rocks, roots, clay, and natural debris. Mixed loads often need to go to different facilities than clean soil, which can affect pricing, but it is nothing you need to stress over. If you dug out a garden, pulled up shrubs, or tore out tree roots and now have a messy pile, we can haul it away and leave things clean and ready for whatever you are planning next.
Do you bag or shovel the dirt?
Yes, we handle all the hard work. We shovel, bag, load, and clean up. Dirt removal is way more exhausting than it looks, especially when it is wet or compacted, so you can leave that part to us. We come ready with shovels, wheelbarrows, tarps, and whatever we need to move the dirt efficiently. If you have more than 5 cubic yards of dirt or soil for removal, we usually bring our skid steer or front loader.
Can you remove contaminated soil?
We cannot remove chemically contaminated soil. Anything that may be polluted with oil, pesticides, chemicals, or other hazardous materials has to be handled by a specialized hazardous waste company. If you think your soil might be contaminated, we can point you toward the right kind of service. For regular landscaping dirt that is just heavy and in the way, we are the right call.
How is dirt disposal priced?
Dirt is heavy and labor-intensive, so pricing is based on cubic yardage and access. Disposal sites often charge by the ton, which impacts the final cost. We can usually estimate the price based on how big the pile is or the area you want cleared, and we will always quote you before we start. No surprise charges at the end. Please note that with any soil, dirt, moss, landscaping gravel, or sand, we will need a visual reference or on-site dirt removal estimate to give you the best and most accurate price.
Do you take dirt from landscaping projects?
Yes, we take dirt from grading, trenching, sod removal, gardening, irrigation work, and other landscaping projects. Extra soil is one of the most common headaches after a project, and it is not something you can toss into your regular trash. We help homeowners, landscapers, and contractors clear out the leftover dirt so the job can move forward without delays.
Can you remove wet mud?
Yes, we can remove wet mud and soggy soil. It is heavier and more difficult to handle, so it may cost a bit more, but we deal with it all the time. If rain turns your project into a mud pit or you have heavy, wet piles sitting around, we can scoop them up and haul them away so you can get your space back.
Do you provide dirt removal for contractors?
Yes, we work with contractors, landscapers, builders, and property managers who need reliable dirt and soil removal. Whether it is a one-time pickup or ongoing help during a long project, we can schedule around your timeline. A clean job site makes your crew more efficient and your clients happier, and we are here to help with that.
Do I need to prepare the dirt beforehand?
Nope. You do not need to bag it, loosen it, or move it. We handle everything on site, including breaking up compacted dirt and loading it into the truck. If the dirt is in a weird corner of the yard or spread around, we will still handle it. You just tell us what needs to go.
How fast can you pick up dirt?
In most areas, we can do same-day or next-day dirt pickup. Dirt piles tend to become an eyesore pretty fast, especially if they are taking over your yard or driveway. Tell us when you need it gone, and we will do our best to get there quickly so you can enjoy your space again.
How much does dirt or soil removal cost?
Dirt removal pricing depends on weight, volume, access, and disposal fees at soil facilities. Dirt is extremely heavy, so rates vary based on the number of cubic yards and whether machinery is needed. To get a sense of our pricing structure, check out our junk removal pricing page, and then we will give you an exact quote after seeing your pile.
What if I want to load the dirt myself?
If you have a large amount of dirt, soil, sand, or landscaping debris and prefer a DIY method, we can drop off one of our soil-rated containers. You can load at your own pace without worrying about truck space or timing. Our dumping guides also explain what type of dirt qualifies for clean-fill recycling vs mixed-load disposal. When you’re ready, we pick up the container and haul it away.
