So, any suggestions for something I could do with it? So far, it looks
like the only alternative is to shovel it into the garbage bins


It may be worth a few $$$ for people with horses, to be used as bedding.
But there are a few trees that are toxic to horses, such as walnut. Tell
us what the tree was.... If it's safe, post it on craigslist (free or
cheap)


IDK much about horses, but I do know that stump grindings are different
than sawdust or wood chips. Stump grindings typically have dirt, stones,
rotten wood mixed in, because they grind up everything down to the earth
and below. I have a partially wooded lot and I'd just spread that stuff
out in the wooded area. If it's mostly clean, could be used for mulch,
but I haven't seen stump grindings that were clean and wood chips like
that aren't particularly attractive to use in landscape areas that you
want to look good. And if it has dirt mixed in, it will allow weeds to
grow.
