Sawdust is collected through vacuum systems around the mill and collected into a bin and then donated to the LA SPCA’s Rescue Ranch and other area horse barns. The Louisiana Rescue Ranch is run by Lori Wilson. Instead of bringing perfectly good sawdust to the landfill, we take it to be used as horse bedding. Generally, all wood shavings except for walnut, can be used as bedding. Please see attached photo’s of the Rescue Ranch.
