Pumpkin Smash

Wondering what to do with your jack-o-lanterns after all the trick-or-treaters have gone? Don’t trash ’em – Smash ’em! Composting is one of the best ways to dispose of your old pumpkins to prevent unnecessary waste in landfills.

 

Come smash your used Halloween pumpkins and get them ready for composting at this free event.

 

Which items are acceptable?
We are accepting PUMPKINS ONLY. Pumpkins must not have non-biodegradable items on them such as: excess paint, glitter, googly eyes, stickers and candles. As the pumpkins are turned to compost, these items contaminate the compost.

 

Why compost Pumpkins?
Composting is nature’s way of recycling organic materials. It is a process that allows organic matter to decompose and form compost—a nutrient-rich soil amendment (said more plainly, a fabulous natural fertilizer). Composting organic materials provides many environmental benefits including: (1) reduces waste sent to landfills, (2) reduces greenhouse gas emissions, (3) reduces the amount of water in landfills, where it must be monitored to avoid groundwater contamination. Pumpkins are 90% water which is great for our soil, not so good in our landfills.

 

Location: Nordstrom Rack & REI Parking Lot
