How to get rid of big dirt pile?

I have a big dirt pile just sitting behind my fence on my property. We plan on knocking the fence down and re-building it so the dirt pile needs to go as its in our way. The dirt pile came from a ditch that was built next to my house months ago and the workers just left the dirt that was dug up on my property. I have been calling and calling the company to come clean up their mess and they never return my phone calls so now I have to get rid of it myself but how? My husband tried shoveling it and spreading it out but that is way to much work as the pile is big and rock hard from sitting for so long. I have also called equipment rental places to rent a bulldozer or excavator and push it all out but they are way to expensive (we are on a budget). What's a cost friendly way to get rid of unwanted dirt piles?

Answer:

Sign in yard, free dirt, you load, you haul.
Go to one of the big box hardware stores that usually has guys waiting around to do day work and hire several of them to shovel that pile out smooth. If you really want the dirt gone hire a small dumpster and have the guys shovel the dirt into that and have it picked up.
