Prokop,

Do you just go and take those rocks? Free?

Sure would be nice to have a source of rocks. All I have is clay.

That would be nice but no. The Vulcan Materials - Social Responsibility quary charges me $30 for a full trailer - gravel, rock, sand, pee gravel is all the same price. It used to be 20, 22, 26 and since 1/1/07 it is 30. Dump trailers and trucks go by the scale, pickups and small trailers are all $30 a load.
They load me up free for anything but rocks, the reason is the trailer is too small to handle a dump of rocks

I piled up a bunch of busted up broken concreate down at the end of my drive way & stuck a free sign by it.
The Guy who came and hauled it off in his full size pick up got a good deal didn't he? There was exactly one full load.

Sure he did

They were widening road by the Dulles airport few years back and this huge machine was used to crash concrete for the underlayment. It was very impressive to see it working.

I got a good deal out of it too.
I needed to get rid of it and it would have cost me $36 per ton to dump it at the land fill.
