After Halloween is over and your carved pumpkin is looking all sad and shriveled, don’t kick it to the curb to be sent to the landfill. Check out these top 5 eco ways to dispose of your carved pumpkins.
Compost It: Cut the pumpkin into small chunks to help decomposition. The worms will do the rest of the work by breaking it down.
Bury It: If you don’t have a compost bin, try burying it in your garden. Just make sure it’s deep enough so squirrels and bunnies can’t dig it up. You might even have a pumpkin or two sprouting next fall.
Feed the Animals: Crack the pumpkin open and toss it into the woods. Deer, rabbits, and mice will nibble on this seasonal fave until it’s gone.
Make a Face Mask: Scoop out the insides, mash it with a little honey, soy milk, and brown sugar. Apply to your skin and wash off 10 minutes later.
Make a Bird Feeder: How cute is that idea? Follow these step-by-step instructions for a DIY bird feeder from your old pumpkin. We love it!
