Save your pumpkin from the trash! Local cities are collecting pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns, November 4-5, to keep them out of landfills and give them a second life as compost! Pumpkins are a great source of nitrogen and every part of a pumpkin is compostable. Pumpkins must be free of candles, wax, paint, glitter, marker, and other decorations.
