What to do with clean sawdust?

We give it to the horsey ladies on the farm.... We like the horsey ladies

Mine goes to a farm gets used for bedding , think the horse gets most of it and in return I get the odd bottle of whiskey or sometimes the wife ends up with chocolates !!

I gave mine away using freecycle, people with rabbits etc.

Do you folks giving the stuff away for animal bedding not get moans about coughing, asthmatic horses etc? Horse owners pay silly money for compressed, plastic wrapped bales of 'dust free' shavings that have travelled half the country!

That's what I thought, only use my wood planings for animal bedding. Dust from a circular saw is resonably useless as such. Most of mine used for our chickens, but wouldn't give them dust, due to coughs etc. All we sometimes use the dust for is a little in compost and firing clay pots.

We used to produce tonnes of the stuff with the chain bar on the processor but with todays sueing culture we were concerned about the bar oil in it.

as a woodturner most of mine is shavings anyway but there is also some sawdust from the extractor mixed in and from sanding too but i've had no complaints as yet.

Yeah but what's 'clean'? A lady I know pays about that per bale for 40 bales at a time of the 'dust free' stuff delivered from Essex to Reigate!

I keep chickens and mine always go in as bedding - plenty people will buy it!
