Only clean dirt gets the dirt rate here. Dirt mixed with trash or debris is charged as trash; we've paid about $105 a ton for that. That's what we paid, not the posted fee: call the landfill to confirm current rates.
Expect a 30-minute to 1-hour wait depending on the time of day. 12 to 2 PM is usually the busiest.
