Just how big is that puddle if you got whales in thar? Heck I use mine on the driveway & any extra on the dirt road but my Township said I'm more than welcome to dump it in their yard & they will put it to use, that's mostly all they used on the roads in my home town when I was more younger & still use it here every winter, better than salt.

These posts keep popping up from time to time, so lets get this straight right here:

The guy across the street has this long sloping driveway that is paved and has been taking them for the last two months once he found out we had them, I only have to roll them over to the door in the garage. H e comes over once a week and takes the tubs in his truck and then brings them back empty.Vangellis wrote:I put an ad on craigslist offering free coal ashes. I now deliver to a gentleman that has a long country driveway every few weeks.
Usually two 45 gallon totes. It's a nice country drive and he appreciates it very much. Gave me a bunch of deer meat last trip.
If needed I use some for the bottom slope of my own driveway.
He must have enough now, not sure what he's doing with them now.
Other than that my Brother has a spot he's trying to fill in, ashes will never do it alone even in 30 years but it's some help. I think I might put a sign out front once the guy across the road has what he wants becsue having them removed by someone else can't be beat.

Hi Richard.
I had a few low spots at the bottom of my yard, but I filled those in years ago with the coal ashes. When I went all wood for a few years, disposal wasn't
much of a problem. Returning back to coal a couple years ago, ash disposal was a main concern. The gentleman I give them to now says he'll take all he can get.
Works for me. By the way, were approximately are you in NEPA?
