Instead of dumping rotting jack-o-lanterns in the trash, take them to a pumpkin smash! Stomping pumpkins into compost helps them to decompose―providing nutrients for the soil, seeds for next year’s harvest, and plenty of post-Halloween fun. Pumpkin Smash is an upbeat and playful celebration of Halloween―and a call to action to reduce landfill waste and support local ecosystems.
