This season,
Waste Management reminds everyone to save money and think green by avoiding traditional Halloween routines, that usually result in waste, in favor of recyclable, eco-friendly habits.
These tips will help you save some cash and the environment!
• Use the whole pumpkin: Most everyone buys a pumpkin to celebrate the holiday and ends up tossing it in the trash on November 1.
However, avoiding that waste is easy by using the pumpkin both for food and decoration.
It's easy to bake the seeds with a little bit of salt for a tasty and healthy snack; or, puree the freshly cutout pieces for recipes that call for fresh pumpkin, avoiding canned pumpkin.
All other parts of the pumpkin can be added to your compost pile.
