Please be careful with your batteries! Any device that runs on an embedded or attached battery has potential to cause problems when they are discarded incorrectly. Let's keep the hard-working people to deal with our waste safe from chemical exposures and fires.

Ask your neighbor or farmer if they want your clean pumpkins for animal feed. Chickens, sheep, goats and cows love them.

🎃 Attention, citizens of now-ended Spooky Season: Your jack-o’-lantern had a good run. It smiled. It scared exactly one delivery driver. It will now slowly became soup on your porch and maybe even freeze depending on the upcoming weather...

But now it deserves a noble ending — COMPOST. 🌱

Please do NOT toss pumpkins in the trash. Not only does it send them to the landfill where they create methane and haunt the planet, but it’s also illegal to put them in the trash in Vermont.

Instead, give your pumpkin a second life as compost where it will become nutrients for the soil in your future garden.

✅ Remove candles, lights, stickers, paint, glitter, and anything that didn’t grow from the ground
✅ Compost it at home or use your local organics/yard waste program
✅ Feel great that you gave that pumpkin the send-off it deserves.

Let’s save pumpkins from the landfill — one mushy Jack-O’-Lantern at a time. 🎃♻️🌎

Don't backyard compost? Contact your local solid waste experts at 802recycles.com to find out the best local options for pumpkin disposal.
