Both times I've received ChipDrops, the loads were an entire dump truck; ~20 cubic yards. I just used a wheelbarrow, a many-tined pitchfork, and a garden rake to make multiple large mulched beds, and a small pile in my back yard. I now have multiple large mulched beds, use it to cover food scraps in my compost bin, and use some in my vegetable beds/paths. It's about a full day's work to handle it all. I think ChipDrop also allows people to notify other users you're giving some away if you can't use it all, or you could try something like Craigslist.
