What to do about waste!

What to do about waste! Interested to see or hear what you fine folks do.  All my bottom slabs are firewood or re-sawn, shavings get sold or taken for free, wrist sized edgings get bundled and sold or given away.  BUT what about all the bark and slivers and random bits and pieces.  Do you burn it or dump it?

Mainly I am curious if anyone has a value added use, or uses some smart way to collect it, or throw it into a container for dumping.  I am trying hard not to touch something by hand more than once.  For example if I pick up or take a bark sliver off a log, I do not want to throw it on a pile, only to be picked up again by hand.  Most of the waste is managed fairly well, its the bark, odd flair butt slivers and thin stuff that piles up.

Collect it in some sort of container the loader can cart away and burn it?  Throw it right into burn barrels and burn once full (does not work during fire season).  Chipper?

I usually toss small pieces into the sawdust mound.   I also keep a burn barrel at the mill for larger chunks.

I use bark and leaves for eventual plant bedding.

I either burn  mine through the wood furnace or compost what I can.

When I clean out the sawdust/chips that accumulate under the sawmill and edger, I haul off this material in the FEL bucket and pile it.  The bark and small cutoffs flares, etc get thrown on this pile too.  It breaks down over time as good mulch for my garden.

I kinda enjoy milling on somebody else's place let them deal with the waste.

Definitely the best part of being mobile!

Termites love me! :D I feed em more some days than others and my "waste" began it's life on the same piece of forest, except I do have some waste areas on steep slopes that don't hold trees well.
