Green your Halloween at Newton’s annual Pumpkin Smash (rain date November 5)!
What will you do with your pumpkin after Halloween? You could put it in with your yard waste, but how much more fun would it be to “green your Halloween” and smash it? Fling pumpkins with the catapult, a pumpkin target, or the Pumpkin Smashing grounds.
Stop by to smash your pumpkin, touch-a-truck, donate excess candy or costumes, and a bite from a local food truck all while learning about managing your food waste and composting! All our smashed pumpkins will be composted, thus reducing waste and greenhouse gas emissions and creating a valuable amendment for our soils.
Don’t forget to remove any candles or decorations from your pumpkin!
