What size dirt dumpster do I need?
For dirt disposal, we offer a specialized 10-yard clean dirt dumpster that's designed specifically for heavy soil materials. This size is ideal because dirt and soil are very heavy (1.5-2 tons per cubic yard), so you'll reach weight capacity before volume capacity. A 10-yard dirt dumpster can typically hold 8-10 cubic yards of dirt, which is equivalent to about 12-20 tons. For larger projects, you may need multiple dumpsters or scheduled pickups. Our team can help you estimate the right size based on your project.
What types of dirt can go in a dirt dumpster?
Our clean dirt dumpster accepts: clean fill dirt, topsoil, subsoil, sand, gravel, clay, and other clean earth materials. The dirt must be free of contaminants, debris, rocks larger than 6 inches, organic matter, roots, and other non-dirt materials. We cannot accept: contaminated soil, dirt mixed with construction debris, dirt with roots or organic matter, or dirt containing hazardous materials. For mixed loads of dirt and other materials, consider our 10-yard mixed load dumpster.
How much does dirt weigh in a dumpster?
Dirt and soil weight varies by type: topsoil weighs about 1.3-1.5 tons per cubic yard (2,600-3,000 pounds), fill dirt weighs about 1.5-1.8 tons per cubic yard (3,000-3,600 pounds), and wet or compacted dirt can weigh 2.0-2.5 tons per cubic yard (4,000-5,000 pounds). This is why our dirt dumpster uses flat-rate pricing with no weight limits - standard dumpsters would quickly exceed weight capacity. A 10-yard dirt dumpster can typically hold 12-20 tons of dirt material.
Can I use a dirt dumpster for landscaping projects?
Yes! Our dirt dumpster rental is perfect for landscaping projects. Whether you're removing old soil, excavating for new landscaping, or disposing of excess dirt from grading work, our clean dirt dumpster is ideal. Common landscaping uses include: removing old topsoil, disposing of excavated dirt, grading and leveling projects, and preparing sites for new landscaping. The flat-rate pricing makes it cost-effective for landscaping contractors and homeowners.
What's the difference between clean dirt and mixed load dumpsters?
Clean dirt dumpsters are for dirt and soil only - no other materials allowed. They use flat-rate pricing with no weight limits. Mixed load dumpsters accept dirt mixed with other materials like rocks, roots, or small amounts of debris, but they have standard weight limits (typically 4 tons). Clean dirt dumpsters are cheaper per load because clean dirt can be recycled or used as fill, while mixed loads go to landfills. Choose clean dirt if you have only dirt/soil; choose mixed load if you have dirt with other materials.
Do you offer dirt recycling or reuse?
Yes, we coordinate dirt recycling and reuse whenever possible. Clean dirt is valuable and can be reused as fill material, topsoil, or for landscaping projects. We work with facilities throughout Utah that accept clean dirt for recycling. This helps reduce environmental impact and may provide cost savings. When you rent a dirt dumpster, let us know if you're interested in recycling options, and we'll route your dirt to appropriate facilities.
Can I rent a dirt dumpster for excavation work?
Absolutely! Our dirt dumpster rental is perfect for excavation projects. Whether you're excavating for foundations, basements, utility installation, or site preparation, our clean dirt dumpster handles the soil removal efficiently. For large excavation projects, you may need multiple dumpsters or scheduled pickups. We can coordinate delivery and pickup around your excavation schedule. Call us at (801) 918-6000 to discuss your excavation project needs.
How long can I keep a dirt dumpster?
Our standard dirt dumpster rental period is 7 days, which is included in the base price of $299. We also offer: 1-day special pricing at $280 for quick projects, extended rentals up to 30 days at $600, and custom rental periods for contractors with ongoing projects. If you need the dumpster longer than your rental period, we can extend it for an additional daily fee. Just let us know your timeline when you order.
Do you deliver dirt dumpsters to construction sites?
Yes, we deliver dirt dumpsters to construction sites, excavation sites, residential properties, and commercial locations throughout Utah. We serve Salt Lake City, West Valley City, Provo, Ogden, and all surrounding areas. Our delivery trucks can access most construction sites, though we need about 60 feet of clearance for delivery and pickup. For remote or difficult-to-access locations, we can coordinate special delivery arrangements. Call us to discuss your specific location requirements.
Can I use a dirt dumpster for yard work or garden projects?
Yes, our dirt dumpster is perfect for yard work and garden projects. Whether you're removing old soil from garden beds, disposing of dirt from landscaping projects, or cleaning up after yard work, our clean dirt dumpster makes disposal easy. However, the dirt must be clean - free of roots, organic matter, and debris. For yard waste mixed with dirt, you may need a different dumpster type. Contact us to discuss your specific yard work or garden project needs.
