I just went looking for you. Found this site,
http://www.woodweb.com/knowledge_base/Sawdust_uses.html
which wasn't a great help, except for the last question.
"Wonder if there is an efficient and cheap compacting machine out there so that summer waste can be reduced in size, handled and stacked in blocks and burnt for fuel in winter? "
This might be something worth looking into: compacting it into bricks so that it can be used for heating.
In fact, here is a site for a company that does it:
RUF Wood presses

There are stacks of other sites if you put in
sawdust use for in Google.
All the best.

You're reading I have access to tons of free Pine Tree (softwood) sawdust from a nearby sawmill. Is there anything useful/economically viable I could do with it? I have heard of making ethanol from wood ? Any ideas?
