How do I know if my clean dirt lowboy will be rejected?

The easiest way to know if your dumpster will be rejected by the facility is to add the following items: grass, roots, weeds, plant material, anything organic. Rocks and other inert material are usually fine.

If a load gets rejected, it is either not CLEAN dirt (meaning the dirt has sod, grass, or roots) or the dumpster has construction debris and other material. Most facilities will accept a mix of dirt and concrete, but some only want one or the other. You have to be very clear when ordering about the exact source material for your dumpster.
