Halloween is right around the corner🎃. When the fun is over, don't trash your pumpkins..smash them! While it may seem harmless to leave your pumpkins out for wildlife (we've all been there 🙋), it can actually pose serious health and safety risks for animals and people by attracting animals to residential areas, habituating them to people, and making them sick. This is always important and especially so during major drought years with increased bear interactions. Trashing your pumpkins sends them to the landfill where they rot and produce methane gas. Plus all those plant nutrients go to waste.

Compost your pumpkins with ESA and Wild Aware instead on Nov. 7th! Play fun games, smash your pumpkins, or leave the smashing to us. All pumpkins will be composted at a commercial compost facility. This donation-based event will support ESA's and Wild Aware's community programs and resources.

Over 1 billion pounds of pumpkins are sent to landfills across the U.S. every year after Halloween... that's scary! As pumpkins rot in the landfill, they produce methane gas. Pumpkins can also become an unnatural food source for local wildlife, attracting and habituating them to humans and potentially making them sick.

What's the solution? Compost your pumpkins with ESA and Wild Aware! Bring your pumpkins to us on Saturday, November 7th. Protect wildlife and let your pumpkins be turned into nutrient-rich compost for soil health. Play fun games, smash your pumpkins, or drop-off if you're in a hurry.
