7 Ways to Recycle your Halloween Pumpkins
Halloween is behind us and that leaves us all wondering what to do with all of those pumpkins that are hanging around! If you’re not interested in keeping your pumpkins intact, try recycling them one of these ways!
1. Scoop out the seeds and roast them in the over for a delicious snack.
2. Use them as serving bowls. Cut off the tops, remove the insides and place a bowl inside for a seasonal touch to your Thanksgiving.
3. Have enough serving bowls? Cut them and clean them the same way and stick your potted plants in them instead.
4. Cook with them! Make pumpkin butter or pumpkin chutney for your seasonal events.
5. Turn them into turkeys. If they haven’t been carved, glue some feather and eyes on your pumpkins for a fun, Thanksgiving craft.
6. Fill with birdseed for an all natural bird feeder.
7. Compost your pumpkins after cutting them up (make sure there is no paint or artificial objects on them if you do this!)
