What about grinding it up into soil? They have developed techniques in British Columbia to grow fully mature forests in 10 years by laying down a mixture of soil and nutrients 6 feet deep and then planting seedlings very close together. The close competition causes the seedlings to grow faster.

Grind it up, soak it with nutrients and plant forests on it.

Grinding things up would be pretty energy expensive, which kinda defeats the purpose. Also That's kinda what landfills are: dig hole, fill it up until it's a mound, cover with dirt and grass.
