Pumpkins sent to the landfill rot and release methane. Smashed pumpkins break down into rich compost. 

Bring yours to Norman Bird Sanctuary on Saturday, November 14th from 10:00am to 12:00pm and keep it out of the trash.

Before you come:

• Remove candles, wax, and wire

• Pull out plastic, metal spikes, and googly eyes

• No painted, glittered, or waxed pumpkins

• Carved and whole pumpkins welcome, plus gourds and squash
