November 12, 20178 yr Author 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.
November 12, 20178 yr 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.

November 14, 20178 yr 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.

November 14, 20178 yr 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.
