Disposal of wood shavings

<< < (2/3) > >>

Valkrider:
The people with woodburners locally to me like the larger shavings as they put a couple of handfuls in along with the small logs to get them going. I never have any issues getting rid of them a queue at the door. I put them in the small plastic sacks that I get my water softener salt in. So gets rid of two lots of waste in one go.

John Plater:
With a foot in both camps, my understanding is that shavings for horse bedding need to be dust extracted and softwood rather than hardwood. Also, again with a foot in both camps, my shavings along with the odd screw and chuck key (  ;D ) go on the muck heap to get composted and put back on the land. I have been able to give bags to potters for specialist firings but not of any significant amount.

Mine go in garden waste bin.

BrianH:
A 3" layer of shavings in the bottom of a newly emptied wheely bin will soak up liquids which escape from the trash to follow and then fall out with the next emptying, keeping the bin itself clean, if a little dusty.

My Local Council here in S. Wales won't accept them as garden waste. My bin men refused to take the wheelie bin a little while ago so I rang the council to complain and they said quite right you have to put them in the general waste bin. I feel sure their brains must be shredded just like what's in the bin.  --  Julian
