If you had, say, a parking space worth of sod to give away in the Boston area, or, perhaps, up to ten parking spaces worth of it, where would you look to donate it? (Suggestions of specific places or general types of places both welcome.)

Well, yes. But I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do with it at the end of the day :)

Ah. I withdraw the below snarky comment, in that case.

I'd throw it at whoever is tearing up perfectly good grass for parking spaces.

(Assuming it is perfectly good. Like with all soil in this area, get it tested before growing anything in it that you're going to eat.)

Maybe Boston ReStore in Fields Corner, Dorchster? (They take building materials - not sure about landscaping materials as well.)

Oh & The Loading Dock lists three Massachusetts places that might be useful. See http://www.loadingdock.org/about/NationalReuse/ListPages/MA_1.html for those companies.


Finally, if you bought it/it was bought from Home Depot or Lowe's, it's entirely likely that you can return it there (even without receipt) for money and/or credit.
