November 12, 20178 yr Author comment_131106 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. Report

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.
