Pumpkin Smash

Saturday, November 8, 2025

The Pumpkin Smash is an annual effort by communities to divert pumpkins from landfills by providing locations for residents to drop-off jack-o-lanterns to be composted. It is held each year the Saturday after Halloween. Don’t Trash it, Smash it!   For information on more events like this, check out our roundup of Pumpkin Smash Composting Events.
