If we have just made a delivery to your site, we can back-haul dirt or garden waste to our Landscape Recycling Centre at the rates listed above.
If we're not already making a delivery to your job-site but you'd still like us to pick up material, no problem! Just pay our hourly trucking rates and we'll send a driver over.
The following terms and restrictions apply to back-haul deliveries:
- Customer must provide a machine on site with high enough reach to load our truck.
- Regular fees for dirt and garden waste disposal apply in addition to back-haul rates. See Landscape Recycle Centre page for disposal rates.
- We allow for 1/2 hour for loading time at the delivery site before hourly trucking rates apply.
- We do NOT back-haul: concrete/asphalt; boulders larger than 1×1×1'; mixed loads of yard waste and dirt; soupy mud.
Our Delivery Vehicles
Dodge Ram 3 Yard Dump Truck
Our 3-tonne truck can carry:
- up to 3 yards of sand or gravel
- up to 4 yards of dry soil
- up to 6 yards of dry mulch (fish compost, bark mulch, cedar chips, etc.)
This truck is on the road every day that we’re open and can usually manage same-day delivery. Also, If you book more than one delivery "back-to-back" with this truck, we offer a reduced delivery fee on every second trip.
Hino 6 Yard Dump Truck
For slightly larger loads, we now offer a medium-sized 5-tonne Hino dump truck.
Our 5-tonne truck can carry:
- up to 5 yards of sand, gravel, or soil
- up to 6 yards of dry mulch (fish compost, bark mulch, cedar chips, etc.)
This truck is available every day that we’re open, and also offers reduced rates on sequential same-day deliveries that are booked at the same time.
Kenworth Tandem-Axle Dump Truck (with optional trailer)
For large loads, our 14-tonne truck can haul roughly 10-11 yards of sand/gravel, or approximately 15 yards of soil/mulch. This dump truck can be used for delivery of single loads or for hourly trucking.

On top of our bulk products, we also deliver rental equipment of all sizes, such as our Bobcat loaders, our trencher or stump grinder, lawnmowers or dethatchers.
Need supplies? We also have light- and medium-duty pick-up trucks to deliver landscape or construction materials, such as forms, tie bar, paving stones, or retaining wall blocks, to your jobsite anywhere on Vancouver Island.
Frequently Asked Questions
“How quickly can you deliver?”
“How about now?” is not an uncommon phrase at Sharecost. While we can’t always promise instant delivery, we’re really fast, and rarely need more than a few hours notice.
“Can you deliver to steep driveways?”
It depends on how steep your driveway is, what you need, and how much you need. If we think it’s going to be tricky, we can send a runner to check it out before we load up the trucks.
“Can you deliver a LOT of gravel?”
Definitely. We offer delivery and competitive pricing on large volumes of sand and gravel via our tandem-axle dump truck. View the centre column of this page for delivery rates and capacity details; view our Sand & Gravel Mart for pricing.
“Why is there a delivery charge?”
We have to charge a delivery fee to cover commodities like fuel, but we also need to pay for the time and skilled labour required to safely load our vehicles, even if you’re located one block over.
“How much do I need?”
You can use our simple bulk material calculator to calculate the amount of material you'll need, or call or staff at (250) 758-2401 and we can work it out for you.
