Let’s keep them out of the waste stream. Residents tossed them into a dump truck hard enough to smash most of them!

We want your pumpkins!

Harvard’s Climate Initiative Committee hosted a Pumpkin Smash with Black Earth Composting Company. Black Earth composts the pumpkins and turns them into nutritious compost for soil enrichment.  Composting is one way to reduce our looming waste crisis. If you don’t compost in your yard, you can learn more about a pick-up option with Black Earth Composting services.  You can also go to Take Action on our website to learn more about composting.
