Let’s keep them out of the waste stream. Can you toss them into a dump truck hard enough to smash them? Can we fill a whole dump truck? Bring your pumpkins anytime between 2-4pm. The Black Earth Compost truck will arrive at 3pm for the SMASH!

We want your pumpkins!

Harvard’s Climate Initiative Committee is hosting a Pumpkin Smash with Black Earth Composting Company. Black Earth will compost the pumpkins and turn them into nutritious compost for soil enrichment.  Composting is one way to reduce our looming waste crisis. Bring your pumpkins – learn more about backyard composting and Black Earth Composting services. Have a smash! No paint or glitter. Remove candles.

Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. No drop off without HCIC member in attendance!
