Hello I am new to the list (couple days). So far I am reading and learning but I have some experience in the wood processing sector.
I am not sure about the quality of the sawdust but I wouldn't dump it. It can be used for particle boards. I have managed a project where we have doen electrical work and automation for an entire particle board plant. It is not a cheap process but worth to look at . Basic steps are: - Dry the saw dust, - Prepare the glue and mix with the saw dust - Lay the sawdust on a conveyor belt - Press the saw dust and heat it - Cut into the dimensions you need. If the saw dust is fine enough it can be used for making MDF (medium density fiber board). Which is a valuable product. Hope this helps.
