FreePlease don’t put it in the trash; bring it to the smash and green your Halloween! The City of Des Plaines and the Des Plaines Park District are teaming up for a Pumpkin Smash.
Bring your pumpkins, jack-o’-lanterns, and gourds to the Pumpkin Smash composting event on Saturday, Nov. 2, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Prairie Lakes Community Center’s north parking lot.
