I can't imagine picking up the entire drum and dumping loose sawdust. A cloud of it must fly all over the place.
I haven't lifted mine once. I always use the 55 gal heavy duty plastic bags for my 35 gal fiber drum model. For my new workshop I'm thinking of switching to 55 gal drum. Oneida now sells a dolly that fits under their fiber drums, plus extender legs for the stand. Of course if you are wall mounting, just mount higher as required. I really like the dolly idea.
