DirtlyDirtlyDelivered dirt commonly runs $150–$400 a dump-truck load ($5–$50 per cubic yard plus delivery), and hauling extra away can run from a few hundred dollars for a short local dump run up to $1,400–$2,300 for full-service removal. On Dirtly, the dirt itself is usually free or cheap — you’re only solving the moving. You can size up your project first to see how many yards it takes.

Akron sits on clay and hills, so grading, drainage, and building up low spots keep dirt moving all over Summit County. Dirtly is a free map that pairs the people making dirt — foundation crews, pool diggers, anyone regrading a yard — with the people who need it a few streets over.
Every new driveway, garage slab, or basement around Akron pulls out subsoil the crew would rather hand off than pay to dump, and every stripped lawn frees up topsoil. Dirtly puts those piles on the map next to the neighbors who want them, so the dirt moves across town instead of to a landfill. Brown pins have dirt; green pins want it.
Not sure which you need? Our guide to fill dirt vs. topsoil spells out the difference.
The calculator turns your length, width, and depth into a rough cubic-yard number — and reminds you to add a little for settling.
