So I have an attic and basement that have garbage bags full of dirt/hydroton and leftover branches/plant material. I could break up the branches and plant stuff and scatter in some bushes but the excessive amount of dirt and hydroton I have no idea how to get rid of

I run organic soil. Soil is recycled and plant material is mulched. You can put hydroton in the soil after being washed of chemicals.

Other than that? Throw it in someone's garden or like Oregano said, dump it somewhere far away

get a shredder and start an outside garden.
lol my neighbors will deff call the cops. Just had the cops at my door for weed smell and they wanted to search but I said not without a warrant. They think I was smoking but I figure it's time to clean up the leftovers. Was gonna rent a uhaul and go far into the woods but was hoping there would be an easier way

Throw it away. I mow all of my trim and leaves and toss it into the green waste with the lawn clippings. Or throw it over your neighbors fence and call the cops on them.

Put in some raised garden needs to take care of the medium. After hash making, my trimmings just go in the trash or the compost heap.

You can siv and separate and reuse both soil and hydroton. Or bag up the hydroton and take to local tip (not sure what you call a tip over there)

I dry and burn all branch and stem and bag up all green material which goes mouldy really quick in a sealed black bag, then it goes in the compost where it will break down rapidly.
I used to burn everything but I live in town now so cant.

I've been putting all sticks and leaves and root masses in a plastic 55 gallon drum. The drum has a removable top that reseals. The material composts rapidly with heat from sunlight. And it can't be seen or smelled. Good luck.
