ProudGrandma Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 The man who is custom making our kitchen cabinets has large amounts of saw dust and wanted to know if I wanted any...I didn't know what to say because I don't know what I can do with it...any thoughts?

Giraffe Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Can a zoo or shelter or pet rescue use it as bedding for small animals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty Mathy Mom Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 You could make sawdust dough. Here are a couple of recipes. http://www.playcreat...play-dough.html http://www.theholida...cipes/dough.html I don't know how well it works because I've never had enough saw dust to try.

kewb Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 You can use it to sop up blood from the floor. Or beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephanieZ Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Anyone with chickens, goats, or horses would love to take it off your hands (so long as it isn't pressure treated lumber, which I am sure it isn't). We had a cabinet maker for a neighbor once, and he kept us supplied with wood shavings/saw dust for bedding. It rocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandra Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Be careful!!!! Sawdust can catch fire -- spontaneous combustion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest inoubliable Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Save it for next winter. Somebody is sure to get sick and you'll have what you need on hand to soak up puke. Or... Make firestarters? There was a kid who used to live around here when we first moved in. She went door to door with toilet paper rolls filled with shredded paper and saw dust and glued shut at the ends - selling them as firestarters.

Mrs. Darinski Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Get rid of your refrigerator, and use it in your icebox, just like in olden days? :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudGrandma Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Get rid of your refrigerator, and use it in your icebox, just like in olden days? :cool: this is so funny....I could ask the cabinet guy if he could do that JUST so I could use up his saw dust...he would get a big kick out of it.

Lucy the Valiant Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Oh! I wish you lived near me! I need it for my animals AND for my wood stove (the kids and I melt old / unused crayons and sawdust or dryer lint into egg cartons for fire starters). (You don't live near me, do you? LOL Northeast USA) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dory Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I would use it for mulch around the garden, I would work a small amount of it into the soil. I would love to add some to the soil in my riding arena. Anyone with animals would buy it off you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
