According to the United States Department of Agriculture, Americans bought nearly 1.3 billion pounds of pumpkins during the fall season last year. Unfortunately, more than 80% of those pumpkins ended up in landfills.

CommonWealth Urban Farms is one of many communities working to reduce waste by composting pumpkins rather than discarding them. By composting, the nutrients from the pumpkins can be returned to the soil, promoting soil regeneration and enhancing overall soil health.

Join us at 1016 NW 32nd St. on Saturday, November 30th, between 9 a.m. and noon to drop off your pumpkins or participate in our pumpkin smash event. CommonWealth volunteers will smash the pumpkins and use the remnants to fill the compost bins in our compost-heated greenhouse. 🤩 We hope to see you there. 👈🏻😗👈🏻
