What do you do with Christmas lights you find?
Turn them in as is.
Cut the bulbs off to get better price.
Mix them in with the shred.

It was fall cleanup here the last couple of weeks. Christmas lights EVERYWHERE!! I prolly have over 70 pounds!! I am going to clip the bulbs off during the long cold winter and put it the low grade wire bucket and try and sell the bulbs as replacements on eBay..

Cut the bulbs off. What is a real pain is those metal wire deer and snow men. I hate them but take them anyway

You really cut the bulbs off? Can you pre weigh 10 lbs worth, cut the bulbs, weigh the bulbs and wires seperate give tallies of them, please! You've got to be loosing 25% weight for a gain of 45c a lb- 25% for a $.32gain per pound. How many pounds can you do an hour? You're at least watching tv or something?

Sorry Hobo...Putting them on my tree wasn't an option so I wasn't sure what to say.

I can cut the light sockets off and sell the wire for .50 per pound or leave the lights on and sell for .30 per. pound. I think I make more money by leaving the lights on plus it's alot less work.
