Instead of throwing your Halloween pumpkins and gourds in the trash, residents of Hilliard can drop them off at the City’s pumpkin composting bins.
Through Dec. 2, there will be collection bins located just left of the Municipal Building parking lot (3770 Municipal Way), for pumpkin composting.
Pumpkin composting is free and available to anyone who wants to help reduce waste in central Ohio.
All pumpkins will be taken to a composting facility where they will be turned into a valuable soil additive. Compost improves soil quality, reduces erosion, reduces greenhouse gases, and decreases the need for chemical fertilizers.
Collection bins will be available for pumpkin disposal through Dec. 2. Please remove paint, candles, wax or other non-organic material from pumpkins.
