Honey Locust seed Pods #868550

Asked May 15, 2024, 1:11 PM EDT

Our Honey Locust tree produced an abundance of seed pods last year. Where can I dispose them? I don't think the compost sites will take them.

The municipal sites should take them. The heat that they generate is much more than we can attain in our home compost piles. The heat should kill the seeds.
