I tried Craigs list
Trash company won't take it.
Any ideas how to get rid of it ?
I wonder is there any negative reasons to puting it under my deck ?
The amount of dirt i have is were i dug it to make a flower bed.
The area is 200Sq. ft. by about 3 inches deep.
Another idea is to spread it out on my lawn & run over it with my Toro
mulching mower ,do you think that would work ? Would the dirt disolve in
the lawn.

I appreciate your ideas

Not sure why you think anyone's interested in a list of your computer stuff.

Now, about that dirt: In 35+ years of gardening, I've read just about every
treatise there is on making new planting beds. I don't recall reading
anything about removing soil. Put it back. It'll settle over time.

If you got this "remove the dirt" idea from a written source (printed or
online), what was that source? Got a book name or link to the article?

People pay a fortune for good topsoil and this guy wants to get rid of
it? He is making a big mistake. Now his "flowerbeds" are made up of
the poorer sub-soil and are now lower than the surrounding grass. A
good rain and everything gets flooded out. He needs a short course in
gardening. Many gardeners like raised beds for flowers.
