Where to find free dirt?

[nebeno]

All, I would like a pickup load or two of dirt. I don't mind loading it by hand. I had a guy tell about some new development (housing I think) in California (I think) that had a bunch of free dirt. Don't remember were though. I looked online at some excavators and it seems they all sell dirt (makes sense). So, anyone know where to get free dirt? I'm in Lusby, but the guy working for my lives in California, so wherever is fine. Not looking for topsoil or anything, just some fill dirt.

Thanks,
Ben

I know that this is out of the area you said, Have you tried Craiglist. Saw some ads saying free dirt.

There's a sign on 235 southbound by St. John's Road in Hollywood offering free dirt that they load in your truck.

The post above is correct. If you drive to the back of the Broad Creek subdivision, they were giving away free topsoil (we got some 3 weeks ago).

There is dirt that costs money?

Dirt is free, yes?

I have plenty of dirt in my back yard that you are welcome to at any time.

I was going to say the same thing -- isn't Earth just a big ball of dirt and water? Surely there is some that doesn't cost money.
