How is soil hauling cost calculated?

Hauling cost per ton is calculated as (driving distance × rate per mile × trip multiplier) ÷ truck capacity, then added to the material disposal or supply cost per ton. Round-trip mileage is doubled because the truck returns empty.

What is a typical CY-to-ton ratio for soil?

Most native soils convert at roughly 1.35 tons per cubic yard. Crushed stone and gravel can run closer to 1.5 tons per cubic yard. Always verify with the disposal facility for billing.

Do you broker hazardous (RCRA) soil disposal?

Yes. Envicon Group manages characterization, manifesting, licensed transporters, and placement at permitted TSDFs for hazardous and non-hazardous regulated soils in NY and NJ.
