Plop those pumpkins! The annual Pumpkin Plop returns for the third year. Instead of trashing your jack-o-lanterns after Halloween, support the planet by composting. Drop off carved or whole pumpkins, pumpkin guts, and gourds to the designated bins at Martin Road Park or the Kulick Center from Friday, November 1, 2024, to Thursday, November 7, 2024. Do not include painted or artificial pumpkins, hay bales, corn stalks, yard debris, food waste, candles, or anything non-pumpkin-oriented.
