I was gonna be funny when I just saw the posting of how to get rid of sawdust. Little bit of a wise A$$ I am I was gonna say take up crocheting bc that’s the only way I found. I have 2 dust collectors and 2 shop vacs and still have it. When you figure that out my friend you will be rich.

The bin below my DC is about 70 gallons. I have taken it to the local garbage collection center several times but dumping it is a chore. The dust and shavings do not simply slide out, I have to help them some. And it is heavy. They have a bin for construction waste and that is where I dump it. The last few times I have partially drained it into my fire pit. It burns but not well. Best to burn with other material. When I burn it separately it smolders for a day or two - doesn't really burn well. I have a battery powered leaf vacuum that I sometimes use to suck 10 gallons or so at a time from the bin.

What area are you located? Asking in case shop is within a reasonable distance to come and pick it up.

I don't live in the city limits, so garbage collection/disposal is on me. I take my bagged chips to the local trash collection facility and dump the bag into the yard waste bin with the other yard waste. Since I'm cheap I reuse the bags.
