Artificial Christmas Trees

I havent seen this on here yet, but was wondering if anyone has ever scrapped these. I have been seeing a lot of these in peoples trash lately. I know these are made on metal poles with metal limbs, but a lot of green material attached to them...Will scrap yards accept them???

I have a few in. If I take these in I throw them in the fire real quick to get all the plastic green material off. It only takes a few moments.

Thanks for the info, but Im kinda in the middle of town and they frown on burning stuff and making alot of smoke, I was just wondering if the scrap yards might take them in as shred???

I stuff a few limbs at a time into junk cars

Yards by me take them with the steel as is no problem...

I take the lights off and the rest goes into mixed scrap.

rca, what do you do with the lights ? I assume you mean the string, not just the bulbs. does your yard buy the strings ?

They buy christmas lights at .25/lb, or if you do the tedious bulb snipping, it's #2 insulated. I always snip the bulbs. Can do it when you're watching tv lol.

i saw a load today of them. i was like what the hell? who would bring christmas trees in here? haha

Ya trees and those slinky lookin boa's that you wrap around the rails on your stairs, they take them.

Thanks for the info gentlemen. I just picked up a fake Christmas tree today; guess i'll be taking it in as is.

It's light iron just the way it is. No need to clean

Both the local shredder yards won't take metal christmas trees.

They both say that the plastic needles are too slippery and that the shredder can't chop the metal up.

I guess I'll just put them out at the curb for Mr. Trashman.
