Getting rid of a rock-type garden. Will anyone take dirt and blue stone?

We have a huge rock garden-like structure in our backyard. It used to surround part of a huge manmade pond that was back there (previous owners). We now need to remove this structure to make room for a swing set.

There is A LOT of dirt there. A huge mound that is surrounded by large rocks that were physically brought down from upstate by the previous owner.

Do you think people would be interested in taking the dirt away for their own use? Would people be interested in the rocks?

Is this something people would expect for free or should we sell it? (don't want to give it away if it's worth money and thus selling, but don't want to try selling it if it's something "worthless" that should be given away, kwim?)

Am attaching a pic but it doesn't show the entire structure we want to get rid of, just one side. Pond is already gone.

ETA: We are still trying to figure out how much of the dirt and rocks we want to keep. After we do, I'll contact people who expressed interest in taking them.

If you put it on craigslist for free, you'd probably have it gone in a day.

I had a ton of blue stone to get rid of and I pu it up on Craigslist and it was gone the same day. I'm sure the same would hold true for the dirt
