"you would think they could find something to do with that much sawdust."

The value of anything lies not only in its composition, but also in it's location. It needs to be transported to a location where it can be manufactured into something of value, and then transported to local retail locations. It's very likely the transportation costs exceed the value.

What would YOU do with 25 acres of sawdust in the middle of Siberia?

Sawdust itself can be explosive, and then there’s the “wood gas” from heat and decomposition.
