4 Ways to Recycle Your Halloween Pumpkin

Pumpkins can be used in various ways after the Halloween season, such as a base for an autumnal planter or as a face mask.

Millions of pumpkins are carved and displayed in homes during Halloween, but after the spooky season ends, they often end up in the bin. In the UK, approximately eight million pumpkins are thrown away each year.

However, there are alternative uses for pumpkins.

Grating the pumpkin pulp can be used in baking, such as in a pumpkin loaf, pie, or muffin.
Additionally, pumpkin seeds can be roasted as a tasty snack with some seasoning.

Websites like SkipsAndBins.com and GoGo Fruit Basket suggest reusing or recycling pumpkins to reduce waste.
