I just had a large pine cut down because it was struck by lightning.

I would think you could take it to a paper plant. Anyone know for
sure?


Most plants won't accept trees from residential yards because of the
high likelyhood they have nails, bolts, wire, etc. embedded in them.
However landfills usually will take anything. I'd guess your tree
cutter just doesn't want to take the time or expense to haul it off.
