Well not to far from Tom W. at the state prison in Westville IN they have a contract to build pallets using inmates labor with a population over a thousand they have no shortage of labor. On the spontaneous combustion issue I understand the heat needed to ignite wood from decaying sawdust would need to be 400 deg f to catch fire pretty unlikely. I also get my compost from the prison as they compost all of there sawdust from the the pallet making process, mounds and mounds of it there and offer it free if you load yourself or a few bucks per yard if they use there loader and labor to dump in your truck. No used or refurbishsed pallets so the saw dust used in the compost is good clean mix of soft and hardwoods.
