Smashing Pumpkins (for Compost!)

By Jamie Kauffold | Nov. 2, 2024

Take part in the Pumpkin Smashing Extravaganza and help our environment! The City of Traverse City is teaming up with Carter’s Compost and SEEDS at the city’s in-vessel composting unit, located at 143 Beitner Rd. on Saturday, Nov. 9, from 10am-1pm. The city hopes to divert 1 ton of pumpkins from landfills. Composting pumpkins helps reduce greenhouse gasses, diverts waste, and returns nutrients to the soil, improving environmental health. There will also be pumpkin drop-off from Nov. 1-9, until 1pm. Pumpkins should be free of any decorations and paint.
