City of Encinitas Says Compost Pumpkins

The Solana Center sells $40 compost bins TUESDAYS and THURSDAYS from 8:30AM-4PM at the Solana Center, 137 N. El Camino Real, Encinitas.

The following is from the City of Encinitas Public Works Department, Government Facebook Page

Pumpkins in the trash are scary! Pumpkins take up a lot of space in landfill and require additional fuel for transport to the landfill because they're heavy. You can compost pumpkins in your yard or garden; smash the pumpkin and mix it with other compost materials (leaves, grass clippings).
