| Short of driving around (Which I've done, mostly looking in the area of new construction and such), how could I go about finding somewhere to dump some clean fill I have? |

How much? |

| Not much, 2-3 yards at most I'd say. |

What's in the clean fill? most soil or rocks and stone?
I may be interested if it's soil. I could use it for grading. |

Well, wife and mom filled up some trash bags today and planned to put it all out for the trash - I don't think so. I only let them put about 10 bags out that THEY could carry, we'll see if they take any of them.
But I have another dozen or more bags, plus some more dirt (Not much more) from a tree that was ground up. I already got rid of two truck fulls that was mostly wood chips. The rest is mostly good fill, with little to no rocks.
Then I have another pile of dirt (Maybe a yard or a little more) that I dug up when I put the shed in. Again, mostly good dirt, little to no rocks, but does have some of the top layer of grass that I dug out last fall.
If you're interested, let me know. Not sure I'd be able to get it to NJ though, I'm in Broomall without a truck now. |

| If you can haul over about 300 yards, I'll take it off your hands. . . |

| What in all that is holy are you going to do with 300 yards?! |

| Trying to level out a 100' by 150' back yard about 2'. Suffice to say, it's a big project. |

If you need to fill the whole yard + two feet you will need 555 yards of fill.
Have you checked with excavators? Perhaps they will know of a lot in need of fill. |

| Wow. I had a tough time getting rid of 5 yards. Had it sitting on my driveway for almost an entire summer until my neighbor told me he needed some to level the ground next to his driveway. I've never moved a wheelbarrow so fast in my life. |

I thought his numbers were a little low. |
