Which bag, and how much fits

Medium only — 1.1 cubic yards, rated for 3,000 lbs.

Dry to moist soil weighs 2,000–2,700 lbs per cubic yard, so one full Medium sits right at the limit. Fill it level with the rim, not mounded.

    Delivered free in 1–3 business days. It folds flat — store it until the job starts.
  2. Step 02: Fill it.

    Shovel in evenly; don't mound above the rim. Up to 3,000 lbs, no rental period — an afternoon or three months, same price.

vs. a dumpster rental or a junk hauler

Dirt is where the other options get expensive. Junk haulers charge around $700–$750 for 8–10 cubic yards of dirt in the Bay Area, and a 10-yard rental's tonnage cap — often 1–2 tons — is eaten by a single yard of soil, with overage billed per ton on top of the $450–$800. A Medium Yellowsack is a flat $364.70 with the full 3,000 lbs included.

The full comparison

From customers

  • I used Yellowsack to get rid of some dirt and old pavers. They delivered the bags quickly, I filled everything up and scheduled the pick up for the next day and they were gone. Super easy and cost effective!

How much dirt fits in a dumpster bag?
Up to 3,000 lbs in a Medium — about one cubic yard of soil, which weighs 2,000–2,700 lbs. Larger jobs use multiple Mediums; the transport fee is charged once per pickup.
Why is dirt Medium only?
Weight. The Large holds 2.6 cubic yards, and that much soil would weigh well over 5,000 lbs — nearly double the safe limit for the bag and the crane. The Medium is sized so a full bag stays under 3,000 lbs.
What does dirt removal cost?
$364.70 all-in in the Bay Area ($374.70 in LA & Orange County) for one Medium: bag $24.90 + pickup $249.90 + transport $89.90 (or $99.90). Weight included, no quote needed.
Can there be concrete in the dirt?
Yes — the dirt & gravel rate takes some concrete mixed in. If the load is mostly concrete, book the concrete & bricks rate instead.
What if I need two bags?
Each bag has its own pickup rate; the transport fee is charged once. Two Mediums of dirt in the Bay Area: $24.90 × 2 + $249.90 × 2 + $89.90 = $639.50. Book them for the same day.
