We have several large pine trees and a few oak trees that we must and need removed. Please help.

Removing trees is very labor intensive. Most people charge for it. You can try to put an ad in Freecycle or Craigslist advertising the free lumber in exchange for the removal, but don't be disappointed if people are not interested.
I hate to tell you but it is very hard to find a company who are interested in paying you for removing your trees. Pine trees are not good for making furniture and defiantly are not good for burning in a wood stove. Unless you have a lot of oak trees then it would not be profitable to a company to pay workers and bring in all the heavy equipment to saw the trees down.
We had this problem and really just could not get anyone to do it for cheap. You can post in craigslist and nextdoor begging someone to cut and take the wood but its unlikely. It's a tough job.
You can try calling local companies to see if they'd cut & remove in exchange for your trees, but it'll be hard time to find one as it is a lot of labor & you'd want someone with a license too.
You have been given a lot of suggestions and I can tell you where I am, I ended up having to pay a professional to take mine down. Tree removal is tough. If they are on property that is shared by your boro or township (we did have one like this), the boro paid 1/2 because it was infringing on the sidewalk (luckily I had a friend that clued me in on this). But if you just have trees deep in your property with no public works infringement, you may be out of luck for a free or 1/2 price option.
Some people have luck with friends with chain saws, but I am not so fortunate (well, and to be fair, the ones who do have chain saws, I would not trust them to do a big job like this....I am just saying).
Wishing you all the best for a good solution for you!
