Why Keep Pumpkins Out of the Landfill?
Composting is nature’s way of recycling with many benefits:
- Decomposing organics make landfills the 3rd largest producers of methane
- Composting returns nutrients and water back to the soil – pumpkins are nutrient rich!
- Pumpkins are 90% water – good for our soil, bad for our landfills
- Most of the pumpkins processed in the US are grown in Illinois – keep the water and nutrients here!
