While enjoying treats this Halloween, it’s important to not trick ourselves into “wishcycling” items like candy wrappers. Contamination is scary for any recycling program and certain items do not belong in the recycling stream. Make sure your recycling bin isn’t full of scary tricks by knowing your recycling program and only recycling items that are accepted.

As Halloween approaches, here are some ideas for getting creative with your decorations and costume. Use fallen leaves in craft projects or repurpose items from around the house or outside into new decorations. Reuse clothing or give a past costume a new twist. When carving jack-o’-lanterns, roast those tasty seeds and compost pumpkins after the celebration concludes!

You can sustainably use fallen leaves a number of ways: add nutrients to your lawn by mulching the fallen leaves into the grass with a lawn mower, or you can collect them for your home compost pile. If at-home use isn’t an option, check with your municipality about pickup and collection of leaves.
