SEATTLE (Recycling Monster): The best method to dispose of the Halloween pumpkins is to recycle them, according to Jennissa Hart, general manager of Chuck Hafner's on Buckley Road in North Syracuse. They might eventually end up in landfills if they are not recycled.
Halloween pumpkins can be recycled in a variety of ways. Composting is a fantastic way to recycle them, and it will help make the soil rich in essential nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, and other elements that support the growth of other plants. Pumpkin compost improves soil quality and reduces pollutants in the environment. They decompose readily and are 90% water.

You may also utilize the Halloween pumpkins to adorn your front porch. The bottom half of the pumpkin can be filled with birdseed and left outside for the birds to eat once the top half has been sliced.
Pies and soups are two delectable recipes that might be made with the pumpkins. For children, toasted pumpkin seeds are a favorite snack. Once the toxins have been removed, the pumpkins could be thrown into the forest to be eaten by deer and squirrels. To prevent animals from consuming them, deterrents like vinegar and bleach must be eliminated. This will guarantee the safety of the environment and animals on Halloween.
