Don't trash it, smash it!! SAVE THE DATE!!!
Village of Norridge has partnered once again with SCARCE and will be a host site for a Pumpkin Smash THIS SATURDAY, November 7th from 9AM to 12 Noon. OPEN TO RESIDENTS AND NON-RESIDENTS!!!
Conveniently located at the corner of Montrose & Ozanam (7740 W Montrose), you can discard your old, undecorated pumpkins here so they can be turned into compost (please ensure all candles are taken out of them).
By composting your old pumpkins, you are helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and divert water from landfills.
We have also partnered with Soldier's Angel's Treats-for-Troops and will collect leftover Halloween candy the same day to send to our soldiers (we are collecting for residents, neighbors and friends. Organizations MUST sign up for their own collection initiatives). Candy can also be dropped off at the Village Hall through November 16th.
Please check out the websites for both of these organizations:
