Free rubble for landscaping project

This is likely a long shot given how small our yards are, but if anyone is doing a landscaping project and needs some rocky type stuff to do some fill work, I have some rubble and *I will deliver*. 

Alternately if anyone has any suggestions for disposal, I'm open.  City says needs to be disposed of through private means.   If I'm going to take them to a dump, I'd rather not take the stuff to a place where it is going to be mixed in with trash.

I recommend getting a Bagster (http://www.thebagster.com/).

It's basically a 4'x8' bag you spread out, fill up, and call to have removed. $30 for the bag, $160 for pickup. It was the cheapest solution I found for disposing of a similar pile of rubble, considering that taking it to a dump won't be free, and I would have had to rent a truck. I got the bag at Tags in Porter.

It will hold 3,300lb, which roughly equates to filling it 10" high with "heavy debris". Can't tell from the pic whether you'd need a second bag, just something to be aware of.

You can also buy a Bagster, but call http://www.greenbagpickup.com/ for a pickup. I think they undercut Bagster on pickup pricing.

We are planning on getting a twenty yard dumpster soon, but only have enough debris to half fill it. Depending on your timing, and proximity, we could work something out for room in our dumpster.
