Not allowed to burn it. But I'm amazed that so much disappeared today!

Heard some noise out there late last night. When I got up this morning there was only this left. A lot of the firewood had disappeared.

Little over an hour later it's down to this.
It may be time to update the pic or pull the ad the last few pieces look a little rough

That's what I thought when I looked at it first thing this morning. But now a bunch more has disappeared. More that I won't have to pay to get hauled away. Tonight I'll pull the ad.
Since this worked so well, it gave me the idea to run another ad with photos of the stump and the debris pile with a request for someone to quote to grind the stump and haul away the rest.

I think it costs 5 bucks to post a ad in the gig section but you will probably get a good response.
You'll probably get someone who will grind the stump but maybe not. you will get a bunch of people who will haul the branches probably for fairly cheap dont make it a requirement to do both. obviously the branches are more the priority

n--good point about wording it such that it is two separate jobs I'm looking to complete, so that a guy with a truck can tackle just the haul.

Here's the ad I ran. It cost just $10. Once the debris is gone I'll run an ad for the stump grinding.

Since tomorrow is labor day a lot of people have the day off and a lot of people will probably be looking for side work so you may have good luck

Just got a call (already!) from a guy who'll haul the lot for $300. And, while I was typing the last, got a text from someone who wants to do it, but waiting for a price from him. And while I was typing the second sentence a guy called and said he'll haul it all for $200!!! He's on his way. 
Dont pay until its done! Especially if he dont get it all on one load

No, I know better. He might take one look at how much is there and change his mind on the price. And I forgot to mention that I have 6 large bags full of sawdust and clippings that aren't in the photo.
The bags are easy, if he has room see if he'll take if not find a dumpster or top off your trash.

When he saw the amount of branches he changed his estimate to $500. Still chasing down someone.

A couple guys showed up with a pretty good sized truck and have begun loading. They'll try to get it all in one load for $300. I just sharpened the chainsaw for them so they could consolidate the load better.

I can get rid of the bags one at a time without too much trouble. Those rounds were too heavy for me to lift--that's why no one took them. I had the guys load them first, in case they run out of room.

Well, another giant step for mankind. The hauler just left. By using the chainsaw A LOT (they threw the chain 3 times ) they managed to get everything except the bags squished into their truck. I'll happily get rid of the bags a little at a time.
So nice to see this stuff gone.

I don't have a good photo of the truck, but it was a 1990-ish GMC cab-forward diesel with an extremely heavy duty steel-sided flatbed with heavy steel gates. Those guys worked like mules and never took a break.
Edit to add I learned there is a $70 dumping fee.

There we go everybody likes a little azz haha
70 bucks doesn't seem to bad especially considering it socal that would be a 45 or 55 dollar load where I work depending on who's bringing it in.
