- itspuddingtime, on 12/29/2007, -4/+30what a worthless article
- truman48, on 12/29/2007, -1/+25We have Christmas tree burning competitions in the the neighborhood. I pour lighter fluid in mine instead of water to win every year.
- lukas88, on 12/29/2007, -2/+18Or better yet, use it along with your neighbors' christmas trees and build a trebuchet. Proceed to conquer neighborhood. Demand presents and holiday desserts as tribute.
- c_starfish3, on 12/29/2007, -0/+15throw it in the lake for fishing structure
- megaloid, on 12/29/2007, -0/+13I just use the branches as a rosemary substitute for Italian dishes. Keeps dinner guests away.
- kreatre2007, on 12/29/2007, -3/+13RECYCLE something that is a natural object? That's ridiculous. Burn it, shred it or just throw it in the nearest dumpster!!!
- totorototoro, on 12/29/2007, -1/+11I'm rolling it back outside to the patio for another year. Its in a planter with wheels. (And yeah, it does still have some tinsel on it :p )
- l0k0, on 12/29/2007, -0/+9How does this ***** get on the front page? I expected a worthwhile way to do this. Instead, the article tells me to leave it in my front yard so animals can use it for shelter?
- 03FightOn, on 12/29/2007, -2/+11Fireplace.
- paulringo, on 12/29/2007, -0/+9These comments have better info than that article did.
3 sentences, and 2 links in the story... Waste of time. - screensnot, on 12/29/2007, -0/+7The best use for old Christmas trees:
"As soon as the ice freezes to a safe thickness, the folks on Drummond Island and the neighboring Canadian communities of St. Joseph Island and Thessalon get together and build a Christmas tree line across the frozen ice to connect the various communities. The trees are spaced one tenth of a mile apart. They mark the route from the US to Canada and prevent snowmobilers from getting lost while traveling in snowstorms and at night."

- jaxontyler, on 12/29/2007, -0/+6A lot of people around here dump it in the lake at their favorite fishing spots. The fish love that junk.
- jman66, on 12/29/2007, -0/+5What's so wrong about taking it out back dousing it with used motor oil and that old couch that's been in the basement since 1972, and lighting the whole thing on fire?
- MuZiKMafia, on 12/29/2007, -2/+7I stick the bottom of my Christmas tree in a bucket filled with cement, and sink it into the bottom of the lake we fish at. In a year or two, it'll be a great haven for big fish.
- barnis, on 12/29/2007, -1/+6this raticle is just like 3 sentences and links to other articles...can we have some real content please??
- Cornloaf, on 12/29/2007, -0/+4FESTIVUS!
- spyd3rweb, on 12/29/2007, -2/+6Nuke it from orbit... It's the only way to recycle.
- sockpuppets, on 12/29/2007, -4/+8I use a tree-a-pult™ to dispose of mine.
- JaredXM, on 12/29/2007, -0/+4What other holidays use an evergreen tree?
- JaredXM, on 12/29/2007, -0/+4Smoke it?
- Fawkes, on 12/29/2007, -0/+3Well, for any curious VB resident that noticed you're not a part of VA, drop it off at Seashore State Park where they're used to rebuild dune lines.
- Shorties, on 12/29/2007, -0/+3Yeah live trees are the way to go, they still have the Pine smell, and they look great (Plus the reduced chance of fire thanks to the fact that they doesn't dry out). Besides plastic trees, live trees are the cheapest in the long run because of their reusability.
- spyd3rweb, on 12/29/2007, -0/+3STOP ***** SPAMMING!
- KingGorilla, on 12/29/2007, -0/+3"they don't dry out."
I'm sorry! - fzagruzny, on 12/29/2007, -0/+2I would love to recycle my x-mas tree; but, unfortunately there isn't much information on New York City recycling available through that link.
- irvin666, on 12/29/2007, -1/+3Reminds me of an episode of Rockos modern life where everyone dumped their christmas tree to the trash yard after christmas.
- DeskFlyer, on 12/29/2007, -3/+5Give it to Charlie Brown.
- DirtPile, on 12/29/2007, -0/+2Chuck it in the lake. Fish habitats and the like. It's what we do in Alabama.
- Sharky35, on 12/29/2007, -0/+2I'm using my old trees to build a wooden slash and burn machine. Gonna try it out in the rain forest some day.
- OropheR, on 12/29/2007, -1/+3Pine tree needles are acidic and kills everything that is not pine. In a pine forest, the ground below the pine trees are covered with needles. this is a biochemical "weapon" which makes the soil acidic and this ensures no other plants can outgrow them where they stand.
So I definitely would not want to use pine needles as compost! - springboks, on 12/29/2007, -0/+2Or how about not using a real tree for a Christmas tree!
- yournightmare, on 12/29/2007, -1/+3Christmas is a secular holiday now. Christmas trees, Santa, reindeer, etc. are all secular. Exchanging gifts is secular. I'm an atheist and I celebrate Christmas because it's fun. I just don't celebrate the "happy birthday, Jesus!" part of it, and neither do most Christians I know.
- dn11, on 12/29/2007, -0/+2uh... take it outside a leave it there? seems pretty straight forward. thanks for the guide...
- yournightmare, on 12/29/2007, -0/+1Don't know why you were getting dugg down, that's a pretty good question. But I'm sure you'd have better luck asking Google that question, which may be why you are getting dugg down in the first place.
- Jumba990, on 12/29/2007, -0/+1Here we don't recycle anything. We just collect all the trees we can find and make a big fire.
- dandigg2008, on 11/03/2008, -0/+1I also use an artificial xmas tree and had it since 2004 and it is still magnificent when decorated... ^^
- Valnar300, on 12/29/2007, -0/+1one plural word; spears
- Truzseeker, on 12/31/2007, -0/+1On the farm its easy disposing of a Christmas tree. Stand upright in the middle of the field, preferably after it rains, add as little fuel and light it up :)
- SlyMm, on 12/29/2007, -0/+1Not a damn thing :)
- inactive, on 12/29/2007, -0/+1Nope, us Christians have taken over, CONVERT< CONVERT< CONVERT>
- charlietuna, on 12/29/2007, -2/+3My aluminum pole is even more recyclable, and I can use it as a closet rod the rest of the year.
- scb0825, on 12/29/2007, -0/+1Hey dick, how about not being a Christmas Nazi??
- nosretep, on 12/29/2007, -0/+1Do they make biodegradable tinsel?
