During the Halloween season nearly 1.3 billion pounds of pumpkins end up in landfills each year. Methane from pumpkins in the trash is spooky and contributes to climate change! We could use your help diverting them.
Pumpkins should go in compost or in yard waste collection. If putting in compost carts, no bag is necessary. Find a compost drop off location near you.
For yard waste: put pumpkin in yard waste bin or lawn bag. Please no candles or paint.
