Check out this group http://www.freecycle.org/
They have boards in most city's- also is the stuff "treated", there
are discusions on disposal of it and the problems that go along with
it. Some cities won't take it.


Personally I would run a metal detector over any used lumber before any
tooling. Easy to mis snaped nails/screws.

Storage -stack it on old pallets to keep off ground and stick the
layers so air can move around it
cover with tarp but keep the ends open for air.

just some ideas

I tore down a pool deck in my yard over the Spring...and now I've got
tons of 2x4's and some 4x8 posts. Right now, this stuff is just
sitting in a pile in my back yard rotting away.

I sort of intend to knock the nails out of the wood and place it all in
good order in the shed for use on future projects around the house --
but so many other things have to get done first that this stuff might
sit in my yard for a year, maybe two, before I can do anything with it.

Does anyone have good ideas on what I could do with used lumber? Would
any body want it if I stuck a sign in the yard, or something? Would
people pay for it?

Thanks,

BTW, I'm in Kansas City, Missouri
