Dirtly

How Dirtly works

Dirtly is a free map that connects people who have surplus dirt with people who need it — drop a pin, browse what’s nearby, and message a match directly. Buying dirt delivered commonly runs $150–$400 a load, and hauling extra away can cost $1,400–$2,300 for full-service removal. On Dirtly, the dirt itself is usually free or cheap — you’re only solving the moving.

Somewhere nearby, someone’s digging and needs a mound of dirt gone. Someone else is filling a low spot and needs that exact dirt. Dirtly puts both on a map so they can find each other.

  1. 1

    Drop a pin

    Have a mound to get rid of, or a hole to fill? Drop a pin on the map for what you have or what you want. Add the soil type, rough amount, and a note about access or timing.

  2. 2

    Browse the map

    See what’s around you. Brown mounds are people with dirt; green holes are people who want it. Filter by soil type or "free only," and sort by what’s nearest.

  3. 3

    Message a match

    Found something that fits? Message the person right in the app. Your email stays private — you share contact details only when you choose to.

  4. 4

    Sort out the details

    Hauling, access, timing, who loads — you work that out together. Dirtly makes the introduction; the rest stays human.
