    Those trees have some weight more then 30 lb and the X-mas wire is not a big item to them ( yards ) but it's wire . The key is to know the lay of the land - the day of trash day
    in the towns you'll pass. take roads that put you along homes not highways .
    I live in country territory I drive 30 40 miles easy on a run to yard or to hunt . In short you have to hunt - I just assume Dumpster diving is some thing many of us do
    I don't say this to be crass but put me at a starting point - - your home ...and send me to the church and I will be back with way more then the tree . I can say this cause
    I have visited family from 250 miles to 1000 miles away from home and wile away I found a constant similarity Humans are the same as what is put to curb . Considering the hunt is always talked about as a main source for many , Just empty your truck / van / car and go get it have faith in finding more . Force the find - no matter what get out and look - particular at mixed trash dumpsters on construction sights. It's a crazy thing but some how you will find more scrap value then the fuel for auto . Just make it happen - wish it .
