What is Bulk Delivery?

Bulk delivery means the product is loaded into our trucks and then dumped loosely in your driveway. There is no packaging involved. Bulk deliveries allow you to order larger volumes at a very affordable price.

Our trucks range in size and have varying load capacities. Each product weighs differently, our volume capacity for Mulch is more than Aggregate simply because Aggregates are very heavy. For this reason, we have different sized boxes in our trucks. Whatever your requirements, Dirt Cheap can bring and deliver your materials.

When making your order, please indicate where on the driveway you would like us to place your product. Standing at the end of the driveway, facing your house, please indicate RIGHT, MIDDLE or LEFT side.

Unfortunately, we are not able to deliver to the backyard as the weight of our truck would sink and leave your yard with large ruts. If delivering product to your backyard is essential, you can order Mini-bag Garden Delivery and our friendly Driver will place the minibags in your desired location.  Minibags are not available in Topsoil, Triple Mix or Aggregates as their weight is too large.

This year, we are implementing a distance based delivery rate system for Bulk products. Charge is added at the checkout and is based on how far the delivery address is from our yard at 43 Manitou Dr in Kitchener. For customers who live close by, they will be charged less than the delivery 35 kilometres away.

Our delivery rates range from $80 – $105 for the 1st product and 2nd products in the same truck then the additional charge is half of the first.

For example, Kitchener Postal Codes

1st Product   -3 yards Garden Soil        $80 delivery

2nd Product – 2 yards Black Mulch      $40 delivery

Total Delivery Charge for 2 products.   $120

For longer distances, our delivery charges are $90, $99 and $105.

These are applied at the checkout.

Please note that bulk deliveries are only available for Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge and Guelph regions.

Step 1: Create New Bulk Order

When you order a Bulk delivery, the delivery fee is per product, NOT per yard. For this reason, the charge is added at the checkout and is based on distance from our yard to your delivery address.

2 products to the same address? No problem.

Our Split-bin truck  has 2 completely separate compartments. This allows us to bring 2 different products in one truck – see Matt pointing in our picture to the right.  If you order 2 products in the same delivery, the driver dumps the first load, then moves ahead and drops the second in a different pile. Since we have a divider in the truck box, both materials are kept completely separate.

Step 2: Prepare for Safe Bulk Delivery

First and foremost, safety is the most important factor always.

Low-hanging wires or tree branches? If you order a bulk delivery, the truck box needs to be raised high enough for the material to fall out. If there are wires or tree branches overhead it’s best to give us a heads up first so we know what to expect. Usually we can just drop it in a different position but it is always best to double-check with us. We appreciate your understanding.

Step 3: Bulk Delivery Drop-Off

Basically, our driver backs the truck to the designated drop spot – (it really helps if you mark the spot with an X so he can line up the box.)  We are careful to avoid blocking access to garages and walkways so don’t worry about that, just have all your vehicles out of the driveway to make it easier to maneuver the truck.  Remember these drivers are OUR drivers and quite frankly, they are terrific and skilled at what they do.

When the spot is lined up, the box is raised and the tailgate opens to let the material dump in your driveway. There are several pictures showing what a bulk drop looks like and all are different amounts.
