 Sawdust - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Perhaps the most interesting application of sawdust is in pykrete, a slow-melting, much stronger ice composed of sawdust and frozen water.
Sawdust is composed of fine particles of wood.
Questions about the science behind the determination of sawdust being an environmental hazard remain for sawmill operators, who compare wood residuals to dead trees in a forest.

 Sawdust — a suitable roughage in drought?
Sawdust can be used as a diluter to minimise gorging and allow more even intake when grain is being introduced or changed over.
Sawdust and shavings have been identified as a source of organochlorine (OC) contamination—OCs have been used around sawmills in the past to control white ants.
Confirm that the sawdust has not been derived from timber treated with pesticides, nor contaminated with pesticides or other chemicals during storage or transport.

 WQ351 Composting Dead Swine, MU Extension
Sawdust or wood refuse material derived from bark and/or mulching operations may contain rocks, stones and other foreign material as well as excessively large wood particles, and should not be used for composting.
Sawdust that has a damp appearance and feel is probably near the proper moisture content for composting.
Very dry sawdust (20 percent moisture) may require the addition of 1 to 1-1/2 gallons of water per cubic foot of sawdust to obtain the proper moisture content.

 Sawdust Carbonising Report - Dec. 1998
Briquetting is the standard method to form sawdust into agglomerates of a larger size ranging from pellets to logs of several kilos in weight.
The sawdust must be dried to below 20% moisture in order to insure an acceptable rate of pyrolysis and for efficient flaring of the volatile gasses.
At 23% conversion plus 25% clay binder, 12,938 tons of charcoal briquettes could be produced representing an end-user value in the region of USD $3,175,000.00 Charcoal is the most common urban fuel in East Africa, and a large and extensive rural industry has grown to meet demand.

 weblife.org: Humanure Handbook: Chapter 8: The Sawdust Toilet
The inside of the bucket should then be dusted with sawdust, the bottom of the empty receptacle should be primed with an inch or two of sawdust, and it's once again ready for use.
Sawdust toilets will work fine, as long as you keep enough buckets handy, as well as adequate cover materials, and some volunteers to manage it all.
I use rotted sawdust as a toilet cover material because it is a readily available, very inexpensive, local resource which works well.

 Sawdust for Emergency Feeding of Dairy Cattle
The feeding value of sawdust in a low forage ration may be higher than indicated by its energy content, due to the contribution to the physical needs of the ruminant.
The estimated nutrient content of hardwood sawdust or thin shavings is as follows on a dry matter basis: crude protein 1.6%, acid detergent fiber 81%, TDN.33%, NEL.300 Mcal/lb, calcium.11%, phosphorus.02%, magnesium.01%, potassium.05%, and sulfur.02%.
The digestibility of raw wood residue is relatively low compared to chemically treated wood in the form of cardboard boxes or newsprint paper.

 Community - Organic Pathways - Your Online Guide to Organics in Aotearoa New Zealand
I intend to use sawdust as a soil conditioner and as a mulch.
Sawdust has a high carbon to nitrogen ratio of about 500:1 - so if using as a soil conditioner or adding to compost make sure you add plenty of nitrogenous materials
One recommendation is for up to six inches of mulch for organic growers, although too much mulching may make them more susceptible to disease.

 Research and Reviews: Dairy, Special Circular 163-99, Bacterial Counts in Sawdust Bedding
Sawdust and wood shavings continue to be popular choices as bedding despite evidence that outbreaks of coliform mastitis within a herd are commonly attributed to contaminated bedding (Bramley, 1985).
Wood products, such as sawdust and shavings, have been found to be heavily contaminated with Klebsiella spp.
Organic materials such as straw, corn fodder, and sawdust often contain greater than 106 cfu/g of coliform bacteria when used as bedding (Bramley and Neave, 1975).

 Uses for shavings and sawdust
When using sawdust in gardens always add extra nitrogen, because the decay bacteria will use all available nitrogen and leave the plants with the "yellows." Eventually the nitrogen is freed, but that may take a year or two.
Sawdust and shavings are viable byproducts without being composted, at least in my area.
We use our shavings and sawdust for mulch, to keep moisture in and weeds away from trees, floor covering in chicken coops (easier to clean floor, when cold).

 Sawdust and Chips
Farmers and gardeners are being taught to use sawdust and chips -- chips are odds and ends of wood ground up in a machine -- as a source of humus for improving soils; as mulch in orchards, berry patches and gardens; as bedding for livestock; and as aggregated in concrete for floors and low walls.
Wood residues are now used extensively in the manufacture of industrial (ethyl) alcohol, adhesives, wood molasses used in cattle feed, synthetic yeast and -- believe it or not -- vanilla flavoring for ice cream.
Sawmills produced large piles of sawdust, slabs, edgings and shavings -- 15 percent of every log went into sawdust.

 Sawdust and Spontaneous Combustion
However, if the sawdust is damp (as from morning dew), this danger will be reduced greatly.
In your case, I doubt that you would have a deep enough pile of sawdust on the ground to retain enough heat to support combustion.
Then there was the time the neighbor's big round hay bales caught on fire, presumably due to the same thing.
