The pileWe load
Cleared siteDirt is dense and heavy
Hauling soil by pickup is a poor plan. Use the right trucks and loaders.
Dirt removal is tiring work. Soil is dense, so it takes sturdy equipment and trucks built for the weight. A conventional dump truck carries about 4 to 7 cubic yards depending on composition and moisture. A 10-wheeler can take up to 14 cubic yards in one load.
A Ford F-150 is typically meant to carry about half a ton. Dirt weighs about a ton or more per cubic yard. If you still want to load it yourself, a 7 or 10 yard Eco-Dumpster dirt bin is the safer option.

A straightforward process
From a free quote to dirt leaving the property.
Call 650-367-7644 or request online. Eco-Dumpster provides free quotes and onsite estimates, then loads with a shovel, a 36-inch tractor or a skid steer depending on the job.
Onsite estimate
The driver reviews access and volume and gives an upfront estimate before loading begins.
We load the dirt
Shovel work for smaller or delicate jobs, a 36-inch tractor through side gates, or a skid steer on larger piles.
Hauled by the cubic yard
Soil leaves in dump trucks or a 10-wheeler. Mixed debris may be custom-priced or billed by the ton.
Soils we haul
Clean soil, mixed dirt and the loading method that fits the site.
Tell us what is in the pile. Clean, uncontaminated soil can often be reused as fill. Dirt mixed with garbage, concrete or rock is handled differently. Chemically contaminated soils are not accepted.
Clean soil
Organic material without garbage or concrete. If it is uncontaminated, it may be suitable for reuse or fill.
Dirty soil
Soil mixed with garbage, chunks of concrete or rock. Material like this may need landfill and may not screen for reuse.
Mixed debris
When debris is intermingled in the soil, a custom price may apply, or the load may be charged by the ton.
Shovel loading
Used for roughly less than 5 cubic yards, delicate landscape, or tight access. The driver gives an upfront estimate.
36-inch tractor loader
A compact loader that fits through most side gates and loads bins without tiring the crew the way hand work does.
Skid steer / bobcat
A highly maneuverable loader for larger projects. It turns in tight spaces and moves dirt into the Eco-Dumpster quickly.
Please note: Eco-Dumpster does not take soils contaminated by chemicals. Describe mixed debris, moisture and access in your request so the estimate is based on the right material.

Dirt hauling is by the cubic yard. Mixed loads may be priced by the ton.
Because dirt is dense, volume matters more than a pickup-truck guess. Conventional dump trucks carry about 4 to 7 cubic yards depending on composition and moisture. A 10-wheeler can carry up to 14 cubic yards per load.
If the soil is mixed with debris, a custom price may apply or the load may be charged by the ton. You receive a free quote, and the driver can give an onsite estimate before work starts.

Shovel, tractor or skid steer—then a cleared yard.
Smaller San Francisco jobs and delicate landscape are loaded by shovel into Eco-Dumpster bins. A 36-inch-wide tractor loader fits most side gates. Larger piles are handled with a skid steer or bobcat.
ShovelUnder about 5 cubic yards, or tight and delicate access.
Tractor36-inch loader through side gates into the bin.
Skid steerBobcat loading for larger dirt and base-rock jobs.
Prefer to load it yourself? Optional 7 or 10 yard dirt bins keep the weight on equipment built for soil instead of a pickup. Clean, uncontaminated soil may be reused as fill, mixed into planting beds with compost, or used to add elevation in a yard.

Frequently asked questions
Questions before we haul the dirt?
If the soil is mixed, the access is tight, or you are choosing between full service and a dirt bin, include that in the request or call the team.
Do you offer full-service dirt haul-away or a DIY dumpster?
Both. Eco-Dumpster can load and haul dirt for you, or you can rent a 7 or 10 yard dirt bin and load it yourself. Duration and size fields are not part of this request form—describe what you need in the message, or call 650-367-7644.
How much dirt can you haul per load?
Dirt is dense. Conventional dump trucks carry about 4 to 7 cubic yards depending on soil composition and moisture. A 10-wheeler can carry up to 14 cubic yards in one load. Hauling is by the cubic yard.
What is the difference between clean soil and dirty soil?
Clean soil is organic material without garbage or concrete. If it is uncontaminated, it may be suitable for reuse or fill. Dirty soil mixed with garbage, concrete or rock may need landfill and may not be able to be screened for reuse. Mixed debris may be custom-priced or charged by the ton.
Do you take chemically contaminated soils?
No. Eco-Dumpster does not take soils contaminated by chemicals.
How is dirt loaded?
For roughly less than 5 cubic yards, or for delicate landscape and tight access, the crew loads by shovel. The driver gives an upfront estimate. A 36-inch-wide tractor loader is used for tight side gates. A skid steer or bobcat is used on larger jobs.
Can I haul dirt in a pickup truck?
A pickup is a poor DIY choice for dirt. Dirt weighs about a ton or more per cubic yard, while a Ford F-150 is typically rated around half a ton. If you still want to load it yourself, a 7 or 10 yard Eco-Dumpster dirt bin is the better option.
How much does dirt removal cost in San Francisco?
Dirt hauling is by the cubic yard. Mixed debris intermingled in the soil may be custom-priced or charged by the ton. Eco-Dumpster provides a free quote and onsite estimates. Call 650-367-7644 or request a quote on this page.
