Dirt Marketplace FAQs | Soil Connect

A dirt marketplace is a platform where sites with excess dirt and sites that need it find each other, while a dirt broker is an intermediary who arranges the match, often the trucking too, for a margin or fee. Soil Connect runs both, a dirt and aggregate marketplace plus a dirt brokerage.

Who uses a dirt marketplace?

The main users are contractors, excavators, site developers and haulers, plus anyone exporting spoil or importing fill on a deadline. Sites with extra dirt use them to cut disposal costs, sites short on fill to source closer material, and haulers to find loads. Soil Connect reports 12,000+ contractors and 1,400+ partnered haulers.

How does an online dirt marketplace work?

An online dirt marketplace collects what each site has or needs, matches it to the nearest suitable site and coordinates the trucks. On Soil Connect, a project enters quantity and material type, a Dirt Specialist makes contact within 1 business day, Dirt Pros check the dirt against specifications, and digital tickets record each load.

What is a dirt marketplace?

A dirt marketplace is an online platform that matches sites with excess dirt to sites that need fill, so soil gets reused nearby instead of hauled far or bought new. Soil Connect runs one for dirt and aggregates alongside a dirt brokerage, matching the closest options, arranging hauling and recording each load digitally.
