What do you expect?

I just read on Nextdoor that someone is looking for clean dirt presumably to fill up a void in their yard.

Thay're griping because someone dropped off a bunch of limestone along with the dirt. My out of thin air guess is some contractor type dug up a limestone driveway and dumped it at the person's house.

You generally get what you pay for and it is no surprise that this happened in fact I think they got kind of lucky. They're lucky that didn't get a load of busted up concrete and bricks dumped.

Little fly by night construction companies see people looking for fill as a golden opportunity to get rid of stuff at no cost. They will try and dump all sorts of stuff into places like that.

Of course you can get free fill but you have to pay attention and do your homework and even then it's hit or miss. A heavy construction company or road crew is probably your best bet IF you live between the job site and the place they usually dump the dirt. A company isn't going to drive miles out of their way to dump dirt in someone's yard for free. It costs them too much extra time and money.

As for the person that had the dirty limestone dumped, I really wonder what they thought was going to happen.
