For me the worst shop task, by far, is dumping the ~35 gal drum of my dust collector. I can fit a "contractor" sized plastic bag over the drum, but when I upend the drum the dust stays put. I've tried stirring the contents of the drum before upending it, but this does not help much. I end up shoveling the contents into the bag by hand. My process negates a lot of the health benefits of the DC system, even using a good dust mask.
Does anyone have a good system for emptying their DC drum into a trash bag?
