Maybe sell it locally and move the money instead?

craigslist sounds great in theory. I have more than a dozen ads running and I get lots of messages from scammers that want to send me a certified check and have thier agent make shipping arraignments, yeah right, I bet they got some bridges and roadways for sale too.and so far only one real person who actually might want something.
maybe I'm not advertising it right or maybe the people around here have so much money they have no interest in saving on building supplies.  or maybe the quantity scares people off.
I just dont understand it

Do you just need it gone or do you want to make money from it?
Maybe there is an organisation locally that would take it as a donation? I'm thinking woodwork club, men's shed or somesuch.

Can't tell if it's treated or regular but maybe if you call a small contractor or handyperson in your area and offer to cut them a deal on a bunch of lumber they'd give you some money for it.
 
Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore. Check the tiny ad.
Switching from electric heat to a rocket mass heater reduces your carbon footprint as much as parking 7 cars
