Compost it.
Go to the nearest chookery, obtain "a quantity of chook poo"
mix it in equal proportions with the saw dust, add a healthy amount of dolamite mix in some soil if you like and anything else like grass clippings and compost it.
If you think I don't understand how much saw dust.....I do .... come and check out my compost heap....S

I know our local Timbercrete dealer was after a few sources of sawdust but only the stuff from blonde timber ... didn't want the Jarrah ... discolours the bricks too much.

Make fire bricks for your wood heater or BBQ
Find someone who smokes their own fish or meat I do this for the wifes Trout on a webber style BBQ
Garages use it to mop up oil spills also
I have also seen artist use sawdust but dont know of any personally

I have tried bagging my sawdust and selling it but it was too time consuming and had trouble selling them so I now heap it up and tell people to come and grab a free trailer load for there gardens just to get it out of my way.
I have looked at wood briquets on the net but have not found a cheap and easy way without buying a expensive briquete machine.

i have been giving to local horse owners but they have started complaining about the smell of the camphor. and they dont like hardwood sawdust as it is to spiky for their horses. they only want "shavings".

welll you know what they say.... if you mill and get 30% good timber, 30% offcuts and rubish and 30% sawdust you are doing well.
BTW has anybody seen combustabrick makers being offered lately, they were quite a popular thing in the 80's
Have you thaught about a kiln fueled by a chip heater?

Many years ago a friend was a gardner at the local cemetary. The council cut up a heap of Camphor and chipped it. Great free mulch for the rose beds...wrong it killed them all
Just a word of warning
