here you just throw the tree out the 5th floor window, someone comes
along
in the night and burns it for you. the fire trucks show up and hose
the
thing down, the police come by and write up a silly report, the
landlord
sends his guys over the next day to scrub the soot and ashes off of
his
building. big production every year. keeps lots of people employeed.

Here they bring them to the beach, stake them down in rows, and 6 mo.
later you have a new row of sanddunes to be whiped out in hurricane
season. Works great.

This is just too funny (or maybe you had to be there)....

It's just about time to put the dead tree on the curb for pick up.
A
friend was over and she volunteered to remove the ornaments. While
she was
doing that, I mentioned that it would probably dump 10 zillion pine

needles on the floor, but that's what happens. I didn't give it
another
thought and went out to do some errands, while she stayed around.

When I got back, I saw she had discovered the shop vac in the
garage.
Amazingly, she shop vac'd the tree! It was just about totally
denuded. She
was sort of embarrassed by the whole thing, but between fits of
laughter,
I told her it was fine by me.

At least it wasn't as dangerous as my ex-roomate in college who
stuff the
entire 7-foot dead tree into the fireplace and then lit the tree...
