Why get rid of it? Dump it in your flower garden if you aren't using it anymore i guess.

I know your pain poopy. I have 12 trashbags of the stuff. The whole garden yard thing might work for one grow. When you have a shitload every 2.5 months and it is snowy for atleast 4 months a year. Perlite should be harmless when burnt. Coco should b mostly cellulose so it to is fairly safe.

getting rid of coco?
Spread it in the yard and run over it with the mower
The grass always seems greener in that area

In the Bay Area there is the recycling/composting program. Green bins are food scraps,plant material.

Get some chicken wire and make some topiary for the yard.
drive it to the country side/ woods and dump it, but you really should use it more then once, second and third rounds can be even better then first runs. but the compost will be very happy with coco added. in the larger ops we used to just bag it up and drive it to the local trash burning and collection point, the car drives on a scale on the way in and again on the way out so you pay per weight dumped. the worker might stroll over while you are unloading and have a peek in a few bags just to check you aint dumping body parts, or the wrong stuff for the incinerator. but they don't give a shit about bags of coco slabs. in the old days we just had a truck bring us a building site trash container and we'd fill it up and have it collected openly, lol. in those days no one knew what coco slabs were, not even most growers, let alone the general public. but those days are gone.

I love the fact that you needed a construction dumpster to get rid of your coco. Makes me smile just thinking about it.
Yeah I'm starting to have a similar problem with soil, I have about 30 bags a month I need to dump out, and it only took a couple months to fill several large planter beds to the brim. Actually makes me want to try aero or NFT just to be rid of the big growing medium mess!

yeah was pretty crazy, back then we didn't use the coco slabs more then once so there was a lot of coco turnover.
