Local council accepts them as garden waste, so I subscribe to that which also gets me a wheelie bin that is connected directly to my extraction via a cyclone. I also have a list of people who want clean safe shavings for things from chickens to model railway making, so if I clean up, then cut a single safe species I sweep that up and phone them to come and collect it.
Another use though she hasn't wanted them for a while is a local potter, she used them to line her kiln and fire the clay, she and the model maker preferred the longer shavings from bowl cutting, chicken keeper and gardeners preferred spindle shavings which had a higher proportion of short chip style shavings.
Sometimes I also make fire lighters from them that is quite popular, but requires me to be in the right mood.
