What container should I bring?

Something rigid that holds its shape when full, and that you can lift. Five-gallon buckets are the most common. Bags and boxes tear under the weight.

How much does a bucket hold?

A five-gallon bucket is about 20 litres. Larger containers are priced accordingly, and staff will work it out with you at the yard.

Can I bring more than one?

Yes. Bring as many as you can safely carry and lift.

What if I need more than a few containers?

Then Get It Loaded is usually the better answer. Once you are into machine-loaded amounts it costs less per yard and takes a lot less shovelling.

Bring your own container

For when you need a bucket, not a truckload.

Q: Can I order self-serve online?

No. Self-serve is settled at the yard, because the price depends on the container you actually bring. Come during yard hours and staff will sort it out with you.

Some jobs need a bit of material, not a delivery. Bring a container you can carry, fill it at the yard, and pay for what you take.

No truck. No minimum load. No call.

Why Self-Serve

The details that make it worth choosing.

The smallest amount we sell

Below the point where a machine load makes sense, this is the way to buy it.

You only pay for what you take

Priced by the container you fill, so a small job costs like a small job.

No vehicle to arrange

Containers go in a car. You do not need to borrow a truck for a bucket of gravel.
