Join the Village of Wilmette and Go Green Wilmette for the Pumpkin Pitch where you can discard your old Halloween pumpkins for a useful purpose! This event, coordinated by SCARCE, helps to reduce landfill greenhouse gas emissions from decomposing organics. Pumpkins are 90% water and produce a useful, nutrient-rich organic product, which helps to restore eroded and nutrient-depleted soils.

Please remember to remove candles and decorations from your pumpkins before composting. Please contact the Wilmette Public Works Department at 847-853-7500 or pubworks@wilmette.com for more information.
