Offer to local pet store for hutches or hamster cages?
Unless ........ you know of a local 'Roadhouse' style establishment where they need to cover up evidence last nights' festivities ;o) |

If you have a compost bin you can throw it in
And if you're somewhere in Co. Meath I can take it off you for my chickens |

It goes with the chicken manure in the compost bin. Ideal.

Hi,
Just to let you know if you cut timber with a chainsaw you cannot use the sawdust for small pet bedding. The sawdust contains chain oil & fumes off the chainsaw. Not very safe to be using as hamster bedding. |

cutting
i use a large circular saw and the timber is offcuts of hardwood and pine not logs. il recycle this lot myself (ITS TOO WET) but if anyone has chickens and can collect I would gladly dry store it if its going to good use.I have a sand bag full every 2 weeks

Anyone with horses, they could probably use it as bedding! My father had a carpentry business and he couldn't keep the sawdust in stock, once the word got out it was free! Could you make fire logs using paper milk cartons, compact it in a way, or it could be too messy! Wonder can it be dug into clay, or flower beds? I love the smell of sawdust!
