Dirt matching apps pair sites that have excess soil with sites that need it, using the material type, quantity, location and timing each side posts. Shorter hauls cost less, so matches favor distance, and some platforms also book trucks. Soil Connect says its algorithms find the closest sourcing and disposal options.
Dirt marketplace apps let a contractor list excess soil by volume, type and location so a nearby project can take it, usually for less than hauling to a landfill. Soil Connect's Get Rid of Dirt service matches dirt with a closer site, and the company reports customer savings of 28% to 42% on dirt.
Dirt marketplace apps and websites match a contractor's fill request to nearby sites exporting dirt.
