Disposal Cost Calculator

Compare what every disposal site on southern Vancouver Island publishes for your material, in the unit that site actually prices in. Where a comparison would need a density nobody has measured, this tool says so instead of guessing.

Third-party published rates, verified August 26, 2026. These are not Ronin Earthworks prices — our rate card is here.

Your load

Sort the load before you price it. Almost every gate here refuses mixed material.

Material

Excavated soil, sod, rock and pit run with no construction contamination. No regional district on southern Vancouver Island accepts this — every option below is private.

Where the load is coming from

This orders the results and hides nothing. Leaving your own district is frequently the correct answer, and on clean fill it is the only answer.

Quantity

10 t

Some sites below price in the unit you did not enter, so a conversion is being made. The band defaults to 1.4 to 1.6 t/yd³, which is a working assumption for compacted crushed base, not a published figure — it is the one number on this page that nobody publishes and it carries no source, because there is none to carry. Every figure it produces is shown as a range, never a single number, and the range is only ever a sanity check.

Density — low end1.4 t/yd³

Density — high end1.6 t/yd³

The load is tarped and secured

Untick and CRD rows double, because Bylaw 3881 doubles every fee on an uncovered load. RDN rows get a $20 to $25 surcharge note and the number is left alone, because the bylaw and the live rates page disagree.

I hold a licensed waste hauler account

Swaps in the published account rate where one exists: $145/tonne at the CRD and $115/tonne at the RDN. You have to qualify with the district first.

Method. Every rate here is published by the operator that charges it and was checked against its own source on August 26, 2026. No rate is interpolated, and the single assumption the tool makes — a 1.4 to 1.6 t/yd³ density band for crushed base, which nobody publishes — is printed on every row it touches, and every row it touches returns a range rather than a figure. Where an operator publishes no rate, this tool shows a phone number and no figure, in its own group, so an absent price can never sort as though it were free. See every rate and its source.

This ranking crossed unit boundaries. A per-tonne rate and a per-yard rate are not directly comparable. Every crossed row is shown as a range with its assumption printed underneath. Confirm by phone before you send a truck.

Sites in Greater Victoria are listed first. Each operator appears once, with its material and load-size options together. Prices belong to that operator.

Sooke Soil

Sooke · Greater Victoria

Fill soil or sod — clean

Estimate

$25/yd³

per cubic yard

Your load: ~$156 to $179

Assumed density 1.4 to 1.6 t/yd³. That band is ours, not the operator's, and nobody publishes it.

Note the unit — per YARD, not per tonne. Refuses fill containing concrete, brick, wire or other construction contaminants.
