Come to the City’s Annual Pumpkin Smash!

Bring old Halloween pumpkins to toss into a green bin and learn how the pumpkins will become valuable compost. Visit French Park for a free pumpkin toss, composting demonstrations, food trucks, lawn games, and more! To ensure the compost is clean, please remove any candles and decorations from your pumpkins and do not bring painted pumpkins*.

Volunteers Needed! Sign up to volunteer at the Pumpkin Smash on Engage SLO.

Unable to attend? No worries! You can always toss your pumpkins and other food waste in your green bin at home.

*Pumpkins are not required to attend the Pumpkin Smash.
