🍂 What to do with your ghoulish greens?

🎃 It's that time of year for carving pumpkins, bobbing for apples, and corn mazes. When the fun is done, give your seasonal produce an afterlife by discarding it in the green, organics cart.

👻 The green cart does a 'trick' that turns produce into a 'treat' for the Earth: Compost!

Where Does It Go Wednesday: 🎃

If your Halloween traditions include pumpkin carvings, you can dispose of them a couple of ways!

🔥Roast them: Seeds can be roasted and salted for a savory treat
🍃Compost them: Place carvings, pulp, and strands (but not the candle) in the green organics cart to give them a new life as compost.
🚫Never place pumpkins or carvings in the blue recycling cart. This contaminates all the good recyclables!
