We have this pile of dirt from all of the work in the front yard last summer/fall. We received 2 quotes to have it hauled away this week to the tune of $400-500. One company estimated 1.5 yards of dirt, the other 2.5 yards.
We have solicited our neighbors with no takers and posted it for free on Craigslist this morning. We are not very hopeful there will be interest.
Anyone need some dirt? It wouldn't be such a big deal, but we need to finish the other side of our front yard retaining wall which will only result in even.more.dirt. And, we wanted to get rid of our current stockpile before we amass more. It would almost be worth hiring someone to do the work so they haul the dirt away.
We have thought about slowly putting it out for trash, beefing up our flower beds, spreading it out around the neighborhood one pocketful at a time a la Shawshank Redemption (only took him 20 years), throwing it over the fence into the rental properties 100% weed filled yard. Not serious on the last one, although Erica did scout it out.
Next step is checking out dumpster prices.

Wish Gramps could get 400 to 500 to haul that little bit of dirt away. That sounds crazy... G
It is crazy. Well, move on out and make millions!
That is a bummer. If you had monsoon rain like we have been having it would all be washed away by now...I think putting some in the trash each week would be the cheaper option....Auntie K
I think we made the trash guys mad on Monday, so we need to watch it. Dirt is heavy! We were trying to be mindful....
