I lifted the door to the BOTTOM of the compost bin...
And there are ants making a ton of tracks in the soil. I guess it's good soil but I don't like the ants. The compost bin is SO FULL and there are grass clippings at the very top, plus some rotted watermelon I added this am. I have no place to put the soil so I guess it will stay in the bin? Or maybe we can use the dirt to fill in the yard in spots?

Yes, you can definitely use it to fill in low spots. Something else you can do if you just have too much is to spread it in your flower beds one or more inches thick. Just kind of shovel it on and move it around to make it even. Then you can kind of knock the plants around a little to shake the compost off the leaves, or hit the leaves with a spray of water to clean them off. Your plants will love you! Plus you can start again making compost.
