What to do with concrete dust

[Bsheffer]

So I've got about 1/2 of a trash can of concrete dust after a grind. What do I do with it. And no, I don't have any neighbors I don't like. Pretty cruel joke to play on the trash pick-up guys as well...

Put it in smaller containers and toss a container in the trash. It might take you awhile but if that's the only way to get rid of it, you do what you have to do.

Agreed. Put in hefty bags, little by little.

Yep, bag it. I do the same thing every time I clean my shop vac of drywall dust/wood sanding dust.

If you had a gravel driveway it would be great to add to it.

I also wound up with about the same amount. I used it as leveling for a flagstone walkway that had sand under it and were always shifting. The fine concrete dust doesn't settle or pack down and stones have been stable for years. I saw them using stone dust for this on "This Old House" and figured I'd give it a try. The cost and availability were right.

my wife has a huge flower pot, we had a banan in there but died, the pot is filled with some special stones, I put some water over the concrete dust then poured the stuff in the pot, she's gonna have a surprize

If I had a gravel or stone driveway I would spread it over that. If not, find someone who does and spread it over theirs...

I do the same. I would have suggested dumping in the driveway but assumed the OP lived in the city with a concrete driveway as I saw Washington DC and thought that was his location.

Feed a bamboo groove with it.....

I actually have a place at a lake that has a large stone driveway. As dusty as this stuff is although, I'd hate to stir up the dust everytime I drive over the thing. I can use a little of it under some flagstone on a patio although.

I'd dump it in the drive at the lake. It'll settle or blow away. I wouldn't worry about it.

Do you have a county dump or transfer station? For a couple dollars take it there.
