Don’t Let Your Pumpkin Haunt the Landfill!

On Saturday, November 3rd, on the Lower Lawn of Manhattan Park, from 11a-2p everyone is invited to climb up high and hurl their rotting Halloween pumpkins to the ground to splatter them into mush. Don't let your pumpkin haunt the landfill! Bring your pumpkin and gently used costume to donate. Join us for free coffee and pie from Gristedes and Wengerd Farm at Roosevelt Island’s third annual free “Pumpkin Smash,” with partners RIOC, RIGC, GRIN, Girl Scouts, iDig2Learn and the NYC Compost Project hosted by Big Reuse. NYC Ferry will be giving away one free 30-day ferry pass and Jennifer Minehardt from NYPL will have story time too. Dropping off food scraps are the first step in turning decomposed material into compost, and it educates young and old about harnessing natural systems to protect the environment.
