qube 3570 Report post Posted May 21, 2020 I will have a bit of soil/dirt from a backyard project that will need to be disposed of soon. Does anyone have a good solution for this? I have seen flexibins at $50 a 3m^3 bag. Is there somewhere I can take it to dispose for free or does anyone need it? Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

huff3r 347 Report post Posted May 21, 2020 Just be aware the $50 for a flexibin is just for the bag and does not include collection. Often places will take cleanfill with little or no charge, but you'd need a way to get it there. Or advertise on Facebook, someone might want it to fill holes etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

qube 3570 Report post Posted May 21, 2020 https://www.rockandrubble.com/pricelist-onehunga Seems to be $50 for a single axel trailer's worth. I dont have a trailer but will need to hire one in the weekend to pick up some timber. Not sure if Im allowed to load up the petrol station trailer hires with dirt to take it to the cleanfil site.. i probably have about.. dont even know how to measure it.. um.. 10 big rubbish bag's worth? its like a good 10cm of dirt from a 5m x 6m garden so like 3 cubic meters worth? roughly?

kiwi535 538 Report post Posted May 21, 2020 yes that is 3 m3 but 3 m3 of "solid" dirt becomes 2 or even 3 x when you dig it out.I dont think the petrol station will care as long as you dont overload it and it comes back clean Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zero 1162 Report post Posted May 21, 2020 What I would do is advertise the soil for free, as people always need it and they will come and take it away. As long as its not clay, there will be plenty of people willing to take it, especially with lockdown over. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This, as long as they can access it easily from the front of your property. If they have to knock or disturb you you'll probably hate it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
