Contractors often have trouble getting rid of construction dirt. Preferably, before construction begins they line something out. This does not always happen. I am currently looking to place 30,000-50,000 yards of dirt somewhere in the San Antonio area. The person taking it is going to have to pony up $1.50 per yard. The dirt is worth $10/yard sold to the public, or up to $20/yard once it has been processed. The problem is that to even hold this much dirt you'll need around 20 acres and another 3 to set up shop, and it's going to have to be somewhere inside 1604, as the pile costs $3500 per mile to move.
Interesting stuff right? Well that dirt mound on the highway is currently looking for a new home. If anyone has a lead let me know!
