Dust extraction re-route
Paul Hannaby:
The council collections here refuse to take the fine dust, they cite health & safety. They seem happy enough to take the shavings from turning and chainsaw.
fuzzyturns:
All my shavings and dust go to my wife's horse yard, where they are used to soak up excess moisture in stables and shelters. Finally it all ends up on the manure heap, where it gets rotted and eventually recycled into compost. Circle closed. I would recommend that all turners who dispose of their shavings/dust via the council to consider contacting local horse yards to do the same.
bodrighywood:
Mine go to people for chickens, garden etc via Freecycle. I was informed that walnut, particularly black or american walnut, can be dangerous for horses so tend to avoid or at least warn horse owners that there is walnut in them. Better safe than sorry.
