What do y'all do with your waste material?
Now that I'm spending a lot more time in my shop, and not just using S4S stock I am ending up with a lot of wood pieces to get rid of. I am pretty bad about holding on to any remotely usable cutoff though. I used to just blow the chips and dust from my tablesaw & router into the backyard grass. Whatever got collected in the shopvac would go into a regular trash bag. I finally got a chip collection set up for the planer because the chips were starting to get deeper than the grass. I am using a Ryobi dust bag on my saw now since I am doing quite a bit more ripping.
My wife likes for me to give her the chips and she'll use them in her garden, but she hasn't even seen the full 45gal container yet. I've got a bunch of junk wood cutoffs to dispose of too. I could probably mix them in with the weekly trash. I never really do a fire, so they wouldn't be saved for that.
