Recycle Your Pumpkin This Halloween

Ever wonder what to do with that jack-o’-lantern after Halloween? Before it turns into a mushy mess on your front porch be sure to properly throw it away or place it in your compost bin. To properly dispose of pumpkins, first remove any non-organic materials such as candles, glow sticks and non-biodegradable decorations before placing them in a waste can or compost bin.

Composting pumpkins on your own?

After Halloween let your pumpkin enrich your soil! If you don’t have a compost pile, just bury the pumpkin in an empty garden space. It will quickly decompose and add organic matter and nutrients to your soil.

Tips & Tricks for an Environmentally Friendly Halloween

• Hold a costume-exchange party: Halloween costumes are often worn only once. By holding a costume-exchange party with friends, last year’s outfit can get another wear and you can get something new – without any waste.
• Create your own spooky decorations: Save money by making your own decorations from repurposed materials. Creating your own hair-raising decorations will put less stress on your wallet, the planet and allow you to showcase your originality for trick-or-treaters to admire.
• Trick or treat with recyclable bags: Canvas, cloth or other reusable bags are an earth-friendly and more affordable alternative to plastic jack-o’-lantern buckets. Or, decorate recyclable bags or old pillowcases with spooky scenes to create a custom carryall to take home the goodies.
• Leave only footprints after trick-or-treating: Dispose of candy wrappers, a big source of litter on the streets during Halloween, and carry an extra bag for litter.

It’s True! Old Man Winter will be on the move…just ask any Arwood Waste team member in the North

For much of the country the Winter months also bring a few changes to how portable toilets and portable sanitation units are serviced to keep them functioning properly in the colder temperatures. Not much is worse than the surprise of a solid chunk of frozen waste when you need to use your portable toilet.

To prevent this experience, we may need to provide an additional climatization service to your unit during the months of November through March. If this is required you may notice a small additional Climate Fee on your bill during the affected months.

Arwood Waste and our partners are committed to providing you excellent service all year long! If you have any questions about the Climate Fee or if we can serve you any way, call us at (800) 477-0854.
