Compost Pumpkins

October 30, 2024 by Staff Writer

The Fairhaven Sustainability Com­mittee is pleased to announce again that community members can com­post their pumpkins instead of throwing them in the trash. Starting on Saturday, November 2nd residents can bring their pumpkins to one of the three community gardens for composting. The three gardens are at Wood, East and Hastings Middle School. Each garden will have a marked location for composting the pumpkins. Composting pumpkins not only helps reducing waste from the trash but also will create garden compost for our gardens next year. 

If people are not able to bring their pumpkins to the community gardens, find a small spot in your yard and smash the pumpkin, next spring you may see a new plant growing in that spot, a complete pumpkin circle. 

Please remove any candles or lights and do not include any pumpkins with glitter or paint. For any questions please contact Ann Richard at ann.richard@gmail.com
