🎃 Give your pumpkin a purpose after Halloween!
When pumpkins end up in landfills, they break down without oxygen and produce methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.
Composting turns those pumpkins into a valuable resource that helps nourish soil and support plant growth! 🌱
Once your jack-o’-lantern’s spooky season is over:
🍂 Compost it at home.
🎃 Find a local pumpkin collection or compost drop-off.
🕯️ Remove candles, stickers, and decorations first, and check collection guidelines for painted pumpkins.
Keep the scares on your porch and your pumpkins out of the landfill!
