It is Time to Compost Halloween Pumpkins!

It is Time to Compost Halloween Pumpkins!

February 2024 ‍

Hello ,

  

Are you wondering what to do with your pumpkins after Halloween?

 

Instead of tossing them in the garbage, compost pumpkins to reduce food waste and create nutrient-rich soil!🎃🌎

 

Did you know that after Halloween about 60% of purchased pumpkins end up in landfills? When organic materials like pumpkins decompose in landfills, they produce methane gas, a harmful greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. 

 

Clark County residents can place pumpkins in yard debris carts for composting. 

 

Don't have a yard debris cart? There are many other sustainable disposal options for this year's jack-o-lanterns! Learn how to dispose of your pumpkins after Halloween. 

 

By composting pumpkins, you divert organic material from landfills, help build healthy soil and contribute to building a more sustainable and eco-friendly community.
