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.

Elyria is an older river city with the Black River cutting through it, which means banks, bottoms, and a lot of yards that have settled since they were first graded. Dirtly is a free map that puts the dirt coming out of local work next to the ground that needs building up.
Between demolition, utility work, and houses that predate anyone worrying about drainage, Elyria produces steady amounts of fill and needs steady amounts of topsoil. The two rarely meet, because the crew with the spoil and the homeowner with the sunken side yard have no reason to talk. A pin apiece fixes that.
Not sure which you need? Our guide to fill dirt vs. topsoil spells out the difference.
