About this Event

Don't Let Your Pumpkin Go to Waste! Make your pumpkin count!

Instead of tossing it in the trash, join the Charleston regional effort to compost your pumpkins for FREE!
NO TICKETS NEEDED!


🗓️ When: Sunday, November 24, 2024. 12pm-4pm

📍 Where: Find our tent at the West Ashley Farmers Market, at Ackerman Park, 55 Sycamore Ave, Charleston, SC. Free parking.

🎃 Bring your clean pumpkins, big or small, carved or not, any age. Rotting jack-o-lanterns are great for smashing!



What is a “clean pumpkin”?

  • If you’ve painted, glued, or glittered your pumpkin, just take a veggie peeler and scrape that stuff off. It’s not compostable.
  • If you burned a drippy candle, go ahead and scrape out that wax. It’s not compostable either.

Registration is NOT required nor are tickets. Free and open to all.

All ages are welcome, at your own risk. However, adult supervision for children under 18 is required. We will have safety glasses available, which are strongly recommended for all participants who would like to smash pumpkins and required for all children under 18.

Thanks to our sponsor, Smart Recycling, for hauling all the pumpkins to the Bees Ferry Compost Facility to be transformed into valuable compost for our local gardens and green spaces!

- --------------------

🚗 Can't make it? No problem!

You can drop off your pumpkins for composting at numerous designated locations at your convenience all fall. 🎃 Learn where at: charleston-sc.gov/compost
