Delivered 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.

Cleveland's dense city lots and busy inner-ring suburbs move a surprising amount of dirt. Teardowns, new builds, and pool digs across Cuyahoga County all pull out subsoil someone has to haul — and Dirtly puts it on a free map next to the people who could use it.
In a city this size, dirt is almost always being dug somewhere near you. Instead of clean fill riding a truck to a dump while someone a mile away pays to have fill delivered, Dirtly connects the two. Post what you have or what you need, drop a pin, and let a neighbor reach out.
