Hoping to find some fill material for a spot on my acreage near Redwater this year. Talked to a few guys through Kijiji, etc, but not much so far. Thought I’d reach out to S&M if anyone is in the know for anything reasonably close by? About 30min from Henday and Manning in the NE. Would prefer clean material - dirt, clay, gravel, recycle concrete - not too picky. Up to ~2000m3 depending on type of material. Appreciate any info on this!

Just watch for projects on the go in your area, contractors usually like to get rid of material close by if they don't have need for it, i got some to get rid of but west end of town. Look for contractor signage and call them.

How much fill are you looking to get rid of? I'm looking for about 20 loads

I’m always looking to get rid of material from excavations, it would be less likely considering how far out you are though. You may get lucky at some point and find someone digging in Redwater even, did one a few years ago.

Thanks for the replies, I’m not even necessarily looking for it to be free. I know I’m a bit out of the way, and would be willing to work together with someone looking to move some fill for their project.

If you let me know what amount of trucking you would be ok with I could haul you material anytime a site pops up that is close enough. Maybe have one within the next 2 weeks in the NE corner of the city that wouldn't be too bad as there isn't much for dump sites in that area. Generally have about 30-40 loads to get rid of every 2 weeks.

What kind of product? Im south of Sherwood Park and need some fill to bring up where I plan to have my backyard. Pretty sure my neighbor is also looking for some fill this summer as well.

Everything from black dirt, sand, clay. From basement excavations in infills and new areas so just depends where it is what kind of material.

Does anybody have any clean fill they want to get rid of? I need to build up a low area Lake Nakamun about 20 minutes north of Onoway. Probably need 2 or 3 truck loads.
