7 Ways to Recycle Pumpkins
1.) If you haven’t already saved the seeds, you can either roast them or eat them or plant them.
2.) Compost the whole pumpkin. Remove the seeds if you don’t want them regrowing. All you have to do is bury the whole pumpkin.
3.) Feed to the worms if you have.
4.) Cut the top off and use as a bird feeder. Fill with seeds.
5.) If you have wildlife in your backyard and feed them, cut up the pumpkin and let the animals feast.
6.) If you kept the innards make a pumpkin puree.
7.) Eat it, pickle it, roast it….
Just because Halloween is over.. doesn’t mean that that pumpkin has to go in the trash. Try keeping it out of the landfills by reusing as much as possible.
