No one within 600meters of my workshop fire. But that's not really the issue.
Knew a bloke in town who used to collect milk crates to burn in his open fireplace because....they burned so well.

I burn the wood and compost the shavings, like Tonto said cats are more difficult .

About those cats. This is a true story.
We live in a rural situation and one evening we saw a feral cat walk down our pathway right in front of the room we were in.
Next day I borrowed a possum trap off friends and that night caught the cat.
Following day decided to try my luck again and that night caught another one.
This kept up for SIX nights in a row!.
On the seventh night no cat, however on the eighth day another one. Nothing on the ninth but another on the tenth. Then no other cats after a few weeks of trying.
Did not burn em with the melamine and mdf, however our compost heap swelled noticeably. Also the eastern striped/barred bandicoots breathed a few sighs of relief and have been increasing in numbers.

I have my contacts in the waste industry* and I order a 3 cubic metre bin practically for free whenever I need one
*No, it's not owned by the mafia, and no, they don't grind dead bodies in those trucks.

So as I said in the OP I don’t have a fireplace in house or workshop, so those suggestions are no good to me. If I did I definitely would not be putting any ply, mdf, etc in there. I didn’t think about garden so I might use some for that, otherwise it looks like I will chop it up to add to the council rubbish.

I usually keep my offcuts for about ten years, then burn them the week before I need 'em.
Cheers

I put shavings in the compost.
Small bits of decent stuff to local men’s shed, rest in council bin.
Years ago I did a lot of turning in MDF at a mates workshop in Fyshwick.
He had a pot belly stove so we bagged the MDF in paper bags and burnt it.
The poor stove used to go boom and we thought it would explode.
Instantanious combustion, we called it woof wood.
