Pumpkin Disposal

Properly dispose of your pumpkin after Halloween – not in the garbage!

Pumpkins are between 80% and 90% water, are easily compostable and contain many nutrients that are great for your lawn or garden. Before composting pumpkins remove any light sources or non-organic decorations first.

Compost your pumpkin:

• Put in a paper yard waste bag and place at the curb on your recycling day.
• In your backyard compost bin
• Directly on your lawn or in your garden 

 
Pumpkin Walk
The City of St. John’s Pumpkin Walk is a Halloween-themed event for the entire family, and all pumpkins are composted afterwards.

After the event all pumpkins will be composted along with other yard waste at the Robin Hood Bay Waste Management Facility.
