You know you've been on a job to long when...You start wondering what to do with all the sawdust
You can mix the sawdust with the dirt from the tunnel in your pockets and then spread it around the yard when they let you out for exercise.
Compost it! Keep the waste stream to a minimum.
mix it withsome flour, and cornstarch , or some thing like that, 1 cup of water per pound of sawdust, pack into "log" like forms, try to sell them to home depot for logs for the fireplace, since the heat season is coming up, they'll probably go like hotcakes. After all, they sell mud buckets for $5 apiece, right?
listening for the secret.......searching for the sound...
Check with Martha Stewart.
I use it for traction on ice in the drive come winter.

If its pine or fir or maple (non-toxic species) you can use it for compost or mulch or chicken litter or give to someone who has such needs.
If it's walnut or redwood it won't benefit plants. (especially walnut). You can check on line through your state extension service for such info.
Small quantities, of course, can be kept damp in a bucket or barrel for sweeping matl. for your shop floor (wipes up dust when you sweep it around the floor), or for soaking up oil spills in the garage or driveway, etc.
I once saw a woodstove made from a 45 gal barrel sitting verically . The guy would place a piece of 4" ABS in the middle, stack and compress the thing with sawdust, then remove the ABS pipe. He had a removable top/chimney.When ignited it burned from the inside-out to the edge and he said it heated a 500sq ft shop for approx 8hours in winter....food for thought
