Clean dirt and fill disposal for soil, sand, gravel and rock from digging, grading and landscaping, using low-side containers and a plan for weight.
Digging a trench, building a retaining wall or regrading a yard creates piles of soil that have to go somewhere. Dirt is dense, wet dirt is denser and a full container can easily exceed weight limits. A low-side roll-off is the right tool, and a clean load of dirt without trash is often easier to process than mixed debris. In Nashville, where clay and rock are part of the landscape, planning for weight keeps projects moving.
We usually recommend a ten-yard container with a clear fill line, and we advise loading only to that line. Mixing dirt with trash, roots or construction debris can change how the load is handled, so keep clean fill separate. If you have a lot of soil, we can schedule several swaps. Before digging, remember to contact Tennessee 811 so buried utilities are marked. A firm, level pad helps the truck lift safely. Measure the amount of soil you expect by length, width and depth, then share the numbers with us. Remember that dirt expands when it is dug, so the pile is bigger than the hole. If your project includes rock or broken concrete, tell us so we can recommend the right container plan.
Dirt fills by weight, not by space.

You tell us what you are removing, where the container will sit and when you need it, and we recommend a size and set the details.
We check the spot, the slope, the wires and the truck path from photos or a visit and talk through weight and materials.
You get a plain written quote with the size, the rental days, the weight allowance and the terms before anything is scheduled.
The truck sets the container where we agreed, on plywood when needed, and we confirm the placement with you.
Load heavy items first, spread the weight, keep prohibited items out and stay below the fill line. Call if you need a swap or more days.
Call when you are done and we schedule the pickup, haul the container and leave the site ready for the next step.
A ten-yard low-side container is common.
Mixed loads are harder to process. Keep clean fill separate when possible.
Yes. Rocks are heavy, so tell us how much you have.
Water adds weight, so a wet load can reach its limit sooner.
Yes. Contact Tennessee 811 before excavating.
