Go green this Halloween and compost your pumpkin!
Rivanna Solid Waste Authority (RSWA) will host the 6th Annual Great Pumpkin Smash Composting Event at McIntire Recycling Center, located at 611 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902, starting on October 31 through November 6, 2023 from 8:30am to 5:30pm.
Participants will be able to “smash” their pumpkins by dropping them into a large container, which will be delivered to a composting facility. The recycling container will be accessible through self-service. Pumpkin composting is free of charge and open to City of Charlottesville and Albemarle County residents.
