rlpeterson Posted November 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 WOW!, I'm glad I asked before I tried it. Back in my old shop in Massachusetts, I had some pine trees and loads of pine needles behind my shop. I just dumped it there. My shop was heated with radiant heat. Now my shop has a wood stove. If I have to empty the drum during the winter I have burnt it as the video in the message chain shows. But my last bag went straight into the green waste container that our city provides, I have no idea where they take it. Thanks for all the post, carry on making the sawdust folks.

RJR Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 I take my sawdust to 0ur city compost site. It is open in the summer from May to mid Nov, I save winter sawdust until spring. HARO50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume you know, but worth mentioning for newcomers, don't use on a garden if it contains walnut, cedar and especially any treated wood. Same if using in horse stalls...extremely toxic to horses.

Smallpatch Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 I can't remember what I do with my saw dust? It must go somewhere! When I get through here the lawn mower spreads it around the yard. You aught to see the little miniature dwarf maple trees coming up each spring.

Smallpatch Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 I think I'm the only one in the country that can sprout trees from planer shavings. Gotta get to a patent office as real quick! Even my wife believes me. Cal and HARO50 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
