I have pine wood from one tree that was cut down on my property. I need the wood removed for free. I could only afford to have it cut down, but not hauled away. It is cut into large sections. Free is the key word here. Is there any such animal?

Probably not. Removing trees is hard work and requires expensive equipment. My daughter needs 6 trees removed and just got a quote today for $1500. We are in NY.
$1500 for six trees? Wow that's cheap! I have a friend who lives here in Hartwell Georgia where I live and she paid $5000 to have one tree cut down! That's right--one tree! If that sounds bad she had received a previous quote of a whooping $10,000 for that same tree!
We had a tree climber come and take down 9 pine trees this week here in Pensacola Florida without all the equipment a lot of big companies use and he did it for $2400. They are the Fall Guys Tree Service -so you dont necessarily need all that equipment after all. Just depends if you want to pay a lot more because they use equipment.
It'll be a long shot to get someone to haul for free. You can post free ads on Craigslist, NextDoor, etc asking though.
You could try to barter something though? Baby sit? or something.
Pine wood is not a desirable firewood and if the tree is in large pieces that usually means the person may need commercial equipment to cut it up.
I believe you made a mistake in not getting cleanup from whoever cut down your tree as most likely it will cost you more now as it is a new job and before the workman were already on the property.
Free is mostly not going to happen no matter where you live.
Do you have a local kijiji.com website in your part of the world? I have had some good luck parting with stuff I offered for free on kijiji.
You most likely will not find free. Is there any way you can push them to the edge of your property and use them as a natural barrier?
It will take YEARS, but eventually they will become compost.
You could get creative with them yourself and turn them into benches and tables!
I love things like this--see this website where they give patterns for DIY with trees:

I am always looking to make something from something that would normally be wasted!! It seems a shame to waste the wood--even if it is just pine!
Thank you so much! You are the first to give a little hope! The wood is currently stacked very neat in a corner of my yard and I was just going to leave it that way until I thought of snakes getting in there and nesting.
I am happy I could help. We use the trees that fall in our lower lot as "decorations" meaning pushing them to the edges of the property. We don't have snakes, but there are not a lot in Pittsburgh...at least that I have seen. I hope it all works well for you!
