1. Thrown it into our woods whole. This would be OK if we had a large woody area but in reality we have a smaller piece of wooded land, and frankly I didn't enjoy seeing it every time I looked outside.
2. Taken it to my mom's land and thrown it in her woods. We have done this once before, but we almost always drive our Prius and not our truck the 40 or so miles over there, so not a lot of opportunity.
3. Taken it to the dump. We have also done this, although we hated it, and will only do it in the future if there is absolutely no choice.
4. Taken it to my dad and gave it to him to burn in his shop stove. (My mom doesn't use that now that my dad is gone.)
Other ideas for future years: Advertise on Freecycle if anyone wants it for their pond (I believe it's used as a fish habitat), to burn in their stove/fireplace, or to chip up for another use.
This year we decided that Mr. GV would use his electric chainsaw and cut it into small pieces, thereby making it much easier to break down out in our bit of woods.
(Please notice the bit of dog nose in the lower right hand corner. Naturally she likes to watch what's going on!)
