Free Fill Dirt in Boise

Excavation projects in Boise often end with a pile of dirt that someone has to move. Other projects across town need that same material for grading, backfill, or leveling. Dirt Trade is a local marketplace that connects the two sides.

How to find fill dirt in Boise

Post a NEED listing on dirttrade.app. Say what material you want (fill dirt, pit run, topsoil, sand), roughly how much, where the site is, and when you can take it. Contractors in Boise, Meridian, Eagle, and nearby who have extra material can find your listing and get in touch.

Some listings may offer material free to whoever takes it. Others may ask for a price or for you to arrange hauling. Each deal's terms are worked out between the two parties.

Have extra dirt instead?

Post a HAVE listing. Include the material type, approximate quantity, pickup location, and whether you can deliver. A nearby project may be glad to take it and save you a longer haul.

Tips before you accept fill

• Ask what's in it. Clean fill generally means soil and rock with no trash, concrete, asphalt, wood, or contaminants.
• Ask where it came from. Knowing the source site helps you judge whether it suits your job.
• Check local rules. Grading, fill, and site work may need permits or approvals from the City of Boise or Ada County. Check with them before you start.
• Plan access. Make sure trucks can safely reach and dump at your site.
