On Sunday, November 1, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM, we’re hosting the Hopkinton Pumpkin Compost Smash in the High School parking lot behind HCA.
The idea is simple: instead of throwing Halloween jack-o’-lanterns and other unpainted pumpkins into the trash, residents can bring them to us and give them a much greener ending. Kids and adults can toss and smash their pumpkins into the Black Earth Carnival Truck, and the pumpkins will then be composted.
Pumpkins should be free of paint and glitter, and all candles and other decorations need to be removed beforehand.
