Pumpkin Problem? Don’t Just Squash It Anywhere! 🎃

🎃 Halloween’s over—so what to do with those saggy, spooky pumpkins?

Spoiler alert: do NOT leave them in the parks, on the coast, or try to sneak one into the neighbour’s garden! 🚫

Why?

Tossing pumpkins in the wrong places isn’t just a trick on the neighbourhood; it’s a treat for rats. Plus, those old gourds can be tough on local wildlife and bring on a scary outbreak of nettles.

Here’s how to make your pumpkin vanish without a curse:

• Use the green waste bin: That’s the real Halloween hero.

• Check with community gardens: Some love a pumpkiny boost for compost!

• Get cooking: Think pies, soups, or roasted seeds. Yes, your leftover jack-o’-lantern can have a delicious afterlife.

Keep it green, keep it clean, and let’s not make the coast a pumpkin graveyard. 🎃
