the sawdust gets spread and mixed in with mulch or compost

but if i had a suitable log shaped mold and a very hefty press i would wet
the sawdust and mix with some shredded paper and make my own logs.

At one time I had access to 18" long 1/2" thick cardboard tubes that
were used for rolls of paper. I plugged one end with tapered circles I
cut on the BS from scrap wood, stuck them in my pre-filter DC drum, and
it would fill around 10-15 at a time. When filled, I'd plug the other
end and burn them in my wood burner. No longer can get those, but I
usually keep any cardboard boxes of appropriate size, and stuff them
with sawdust, tape them closed and burn them. Extra saw dust I'd throw
in the compost, but don't have any extra lately. Also, if I cut any
treated wood, the sawdust goes in the fire, not the compost.
