My wife and I just closed on our home here in Peoria. The previous homeowners were snowbirds. I'm…read moreguessing they did not want their backyard overrun with weeds. On top of the native soil in the backyard, they laid down a few sheets of thick black plastic. On top of that plastic sheeting, they laid down 3" - 6" of brown gravel. I contacted a couple contractors and hauling companies who wanted anywhere from $900 to $2,800 to remove the gravel + a dump fee. F that! Now that my wife and I came to the conclusion that we not only don't have $2,800 lying around at our disposal but even if we did - we certainly wouldn't be paying someone else to haul out this gravel for us. So... now that we decided we were going to commit ourselves to this kind of manual labor - where in the hell are we gonna dump all this fricken gravel?! I called the City of Peoria who suggested I call the City of Glendale and talk to their landfill. So I called their landfill and the ady who answered said - we could take it for you, but why not go to Dirt 101? It's closer to you AND it's cheaper! Dirt 101, you say? ...never heard of 'em. So I looked them up and called their number. The nice woman who answered said - of course we'll take it! $15 for as much as you can squeeze into the bed of your truck! SOLD! So my wife and I put ourselves through the ringer and loaded up these totes by hand in the backyard. Since we don't have a small bobcat or skid steer, that meant shoveling each tote and hauling it out to the truck... by hand. ughhhh. Needless to say, it has been a long morning. Fast forward....so Dirt 101 is conveniently located right on Northern Ave. just a couple of miles off the 101. You can't miss it. There is a large sign right at the gated entrance that says DIRT 101. It's also more or less across the street from the landfill / recycling area. So, you pull up to the entrance, cough up your 15 bucks and the woman points you were to go. I owe them an enormous apology because I misinterpreted her first set of directions for me. I ended up dumping the first load near the concrete section much sooner than Area # 1 as I was told. Ughhh... sorry everyone! So we repeated the process and headed out for our second load when a nice gentleman saw us and corrected us. It is sort of confusing as you're essentially surrounded by piles of dirt, asphalt, gravel and concrete. So once he showed me where we SHOULD be dumping our load of gravel - we were on the straight and narrow. So to everyone at Dirt 101 - I apologize for dumping my first load in the incorrect area! We are about a third of the way done and will definitely be back to Dirt 101. I would highly highly highly recommend them for all your material recycling needs. DO NOT dump your shit out in our deserts!! DO NOT destroy the native habitats! Dirt 101 is an awesome business with friendly people who will gladly take your materials for a nominal fee. I would not hesitate to recommend them to my family, friends or fellow Yelp'ers!

My son recycles the cans we use at home so after years of collecting them I stopped by to cash them in for him. They bought them for 1.20 a lb. not bad. 18 dollars and change for a bag. He gets to make cash while saving our environment. There are no instructions on what to do so I basically had to follow a woman who had just pulled up 30 seconds after I did ( lucky for me) and I did as she did. This place is kinda hidden so you have to look carefully for the entrance. Will be back tomorrow to cash in the rest of the cans that did not fit in my car today.
