Give your pumpkin the sendoff it deserves
What’s the plan for your pumpkin post-Halloween? You could just light it for the next couple nights and wait for it to rot before finally tossing it into the compost bin, or you could bring it down to your neighbourhood park and place it with its pumpkin brethren. If you live near a park that does a pumpkin parade, we highly recommend the latter.
You and your neighbours bring your jack-o’-lanterns down to the park, line them up and light them up one last time. Some parks, like Toronto’s Christie Pits, also invites you to bring a marshmallow stick and a flashlight for the accompanying bonfire while Sorauren Park‘s parade promises to have thousands (thousands!!) of pumpkins on display. Toronto Parks & Rec will then pick them up for composting.
