Do not put in curbside carts as it is likely to exceed weight capacity of carts and break them. Request a C&D Debris Box for dirt to be recycled. Find a list of local testing service providers for lead in soil and paint here.
Soil - Clean
Clean soil is the upper layer of dirt from the earth that has not been built upon or contaminated by chemicals or fertilizers.
Consider offering clean soil for free to the community on NextDoor, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist or such as many folks will want it to use for their own gardening and construction projects. If you have it on a tarp, in buckets or reusable bags, it will be easy for others to take what they need from your front yard project.
