Pumpkin Smash
Green Your Halloween at the Annual Pumpkin Smash! Don’t toss
your pumpkins in the trash—smash them for a cause! Join us at the
Rec Center parking lot for a fun, eco-friendly event where you can
smash your carved or uncarved pumpkins and gourds using a
variety of smashing tools. This annual event helps keep pumpkins
out of landfills by turning them into nutrient-rich compost. Thanks
to the support of GROOT and help from the Boy Scouts, all
smashed pumpkins will be collected and transported for
composting. Every participant is entered into a raffle for fun prizes!
Let’s have a smashing good time while doing something great for
the planet!
