Compost your Halloween pumpkins at this family-fun event, featuring pumpkin-smashing activities for children and adults of all ages.

Join us to see how many pounds of pumpkins Boston can divert from the trash and into sustainable compost in just three hours!

Make sure to remove any candles, wax, and glitter from pumpkins.
Pumpkins with paint or permanent marker will not be accepted to be composted at this event.
This event is made possible through the City's partnership with Mothers Out Front Boston, South Street Youth Center, The English High School, and Garbage to Garden!
Rain or shine!
