Green your Halloween at Newton's 6th annual Pumpkin Smash on November 1 from 1pm-4pm
Stop by to crush your pumpkin, touch-a-truck, donate unwanted candy or costumes, and grab a bite from a local food truck all while learning about managing your food waste and composting!
What will you do with your pumpkin after Halloween? You could put it in with your yard waste, but how much more fun would it be to “green your Halloween” and smash it? You can fling, toss and crush your pumpkin in all sorts of ways, including with machines made by the Newton LigerBots, Newton’s high school robotics team.
This family friendly event takes our orange pumpkins and turns them “green.” All our pumpkins will be composted, thus reducing waste and greenhouse gas emissions and creating a valuable amendment for our soils.
Don't forget to remove any candles or decorations from your pumpkin and to bring any excess candy and costumes to be donated. Donated costumes will be available to take home at our pop-up costume swap!
It's going to be a smashing good time!
Pre-registration for the event is highly encouraged. On-site registration (and a longer line) is required if pre-registration is not completed.
