Default Dirt - How to dispose of ???

I planted a orange tree. To do so, I had to dig a hole as deep as the pot the tree was in, and twice it's width. I now have 10 - 12 bags of dirt (sand) that I removed. Does anyone know how to properly dispose of this dirt?

Thanks for advise you may have.

In our Village, yard waste is picked up on Wednesdays. We put our cutting from planting into the paper yard bags. Have not had a problem

I've always lightly spread it on the lawn, especially in bad areas and watered it down. It will disappear in no time.

Is this dirt, sand, or top soil - probably not top soil if you were digging a hole. Anyhow there is a landfill that will accept this behind Colony Health
Care if you can lift the bags and put them in your vehicle.

You can lightly spread it around the yard, sprinklers or rain will wash it in quickly.

There are always low spots in lawns. You can now fill them in.
