I posted a couple years ago that I made a little system to pack the chips and dust inside of a piece of 4" PVC that I put a newspaper tube in. Then I made a plunger to pack the the chips in the tube and push them out and tape the ends. These are used to start fires in my wood stoves, one in the hose and one for the shop. If I have been turning a lot I save all the long curls for tinder/kindling also. If I get too much during the summer it goes out in the woods on the big pile and I turn it over a couple times a year and it composts down into dark rich dirt.

So if you have any of the things I use you are set, but if you live in town and can't find someone who wants it, you just have to throw it away.

Good luck,

Jeff
