Waste coal

Asking on here as although it's not wood, it is fuel related so someone might know.

 

Is there any use for the waste that is left at the bottom of a heap of coal? It's all the smaller pieces of coal & bits that snap off and fall through to the bottom of the pile as the decent size stuff gets dug out over the years.

 

My mates got quite a big pile of it at the bottom of a coal chute in the cellar of an old house and wondered if there was a good way to get rid of it? I would guess there is equivalent to a 1m3 trailer load there if not more and not sure what to do with it.

My grandfather used mix coal dust with cement to make bricks and burn them.

 

But I'm not sure that its particularly environmentally friendly to burn cement?

 

We used to do that and cast them in egg boxes, then burn them in the Rayburn. I expect it added to the clinker a bit, after all cement is basically ground up clinker. I've done much the same with boiled potato peelings and charcoal dust.
