We've got our mailbox and newspaper box at the road. The delivery vehicles have worn a rut in front of the boxes. I've been dumping my ash in the rut and leveling with a rake as it builds up. It seems to be packing down well as they run over it and the rut is almost leveled out.

My budding has a spot at his excavation business where he sorts old concrete, dirt , and stuff. I just dump it there when my galvanized barrel fills up.

It is good to put in your garden to adjust the Ph in the soil.

No good for the garden, good for potholes

I'm building a mountain.
I'm raising my driveway with it. My coal door is about a foot to high. The deliveryman had to shovel it out of his truck. The choices were lower the door or raise the ground. If I lower the door I can't store as much coal as I can now so the ground will come up 18".

If anyone has ash they want to get rid of this year in the Back Mountain area, I've got a home for it.
