Why Can’t I Put Dirt Into My Trash Cart or Dumpster?

Many household projects like cleaning up a garden and other yard work involve getting rid of a fair amount of dirt. But how should it be disposed of?

Most of us underestimate just how heavy dirt actually is. Depending on the amount of moisture in it, dirt can weigh anywhere from 76 to 110 pounds per cubic foot. Considering there are roughly 15 cubic feet of space in an average 96-gallon trash cart, filled with dirt, it could weigh at least 1140 pounds if the dirt is extremely dry. Any moisture at all and it could weigh over 1,600 pounds!

Regular trash trucks can lift carts that weigh upwards of 250 to 300 pounds, which is actually a lot of weight.

Dumpster capacities are not measured in gallons or cubic feet but in cubic yards, which encompass 27 cubic feet per cubic yard.

The smallest dumpster that companies usually offer for disposing of trash is a 2 cubic yard container. The largest is generally 40 to 50 cubic yards, which equals over 1,000 cubic feet, or over 76,000 pounds of dirt!

Considering the sheer weight of dirt, other means of disposal should be considered rather than throwing it into your trash cart or dumpster, such as filling in low spots in your lawn.

  5. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
