You could use it to level out uneven spots in the rest of your yard.
,Hi Jennifer,
Add soil refresher ( nutriments and fresh compost and mix together) or just spread on your garden as is and use fresh soil based compost.
dig it out, add to your compost pile if you know it's not diseased with plant diseases; if so, just cast on your lawn or integrate into a flower bed. I always replace 10% of my container soil every season using a good quality Potting soil.
All of the above are great suggestions! If you still have some soil leftover after topping off your own yard, offer the rest to your neighbors. Perhaps a neighbor who is unable to garden would appreciate a window box or two that would allow them to enjoy some blooms. Maybe parents with small children and a budget to match would appreciate a soil donation to start a small vegetable patch in their yard. It shouldn't be too hard to find somebody who would happily take it off your hands.
