Happy Halloween! We hope you had a great time celebrating...
Once you are done with your pumpkin decorations, you can recycle them! Here are some ideas on how to reduce your waste and recycle your Jack-o'-lantern:
Turn your pumpkin in to a bird feeder: https://bit.ly/3DsWDMc
Pop it in your home compost bin. Pumpkins can provide a nutrient-rich compost material for your garden but make sure you chop it up first, to help the composting process.
Cut it into chunks and bury it in your garden for worms and other invertebrates to enjoy.
Please donβt dump pumpkins in our local nature reserves, grassland and woodland areas! Pumpkins can make wildlife such as hedgehogs ill if they eat them.
Removing dumped, rotting pumpkins from woodland costs time and money, which we could spend elsewhere instead.
