SAWDUST - COMPLIANCE

[Jessica Envirovue]

Hi all.  I am looking at a compliant solution for fine sawdust (5-10 tonnes/week, bagged in static free bagging). It cannot be used for biomass as it can cause dust explosions. We are needing a licensed carrier and end destination. We are based in Essex area. Thanks in advance.

I assume you mean a compliant solution for disposal?  In which case perhaps you could specify what the sawdust comprises of?  For instance is it only pure wood dust or is it also man made boards like MDF, plywood etc?

Not 100% sure the details as squaredy mentioned above, but these are the first people who spring to mind

Composting seems the best choice, round here they are pleased to mix wood in as it adds fibre to the waste fruit and veg.

Good luck disposing 5-10 tons a week though.

Were in Essex and can you confirm if it's clean dust.

That's a lorry load of aubergine next to a lorry load of flowers, you could tip 5 ton a week of sawdust here and they wouldn't hardly notice - as long as it's clean.

I don't like aubergine, but there's some nice looking courgettes and squashes in there

That kind of waste is criminal

[Jessica Envirovue]

It will be a combination of pure wood and man-made wood such as mdf and ply board.

It is extracted mechanically via a Nederman dust extraction system from the wood fuel prior to being dispensed into the boiler for burning.

The wood is Grade C non-hazardous could be suitable for briquettes? But may not be suitable for animal bedding, although I’m not experienced in how animal bedding is derived from wood dust so couldn’t be sure of restrictions in that sense.
