The density of MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) is technically a variable dependent on thickness; however the rule of thumb comes out to about
700 kg/m^3 (Metric mks) or
0.700g/cm^3 (Metric Standard) or
0.025lbmass/in^3 or (English (Imperial) Standard)
7.000E-010 N s^2/mm^4 (Metric mmNs).
HDF or High Density Fibreboard is more dense than MDF with an approximate Metric mks value of
900 kg/m^3.

mdf is strong but not very strong
Yes. MDF contains formaldehyde, and so it cannot be burned - it releases very toxic gases. Respiratory protection should be worn while sanding it. There are companies that make non-toxic MDF, but they are rare. Most all MDF you encounter will be toxic if not covered by a sealer/paint/etc.
MDF, or Medium Density Fiberboard, is made of compressed saw dust held together by resin. It is a very common material for mass-produced furniture because it is much cheaper than solid wood and sturdier than particle board. Because it is made from recycled wood and otherwise unusable wood scraps, it is also considered environmentally friendly.
yes it is.
you can simply bin it as it is biodegradable
