Pumpkin Smash

Don’t trash it, SMASH IT! The Andersonville Chamber of Commerce hosts the annual Pumpkin Smash on Saturday, November 9 from 10 am – 2 pm at Fire Station 70, 6040 N. Clark St. The goal is to have some Halloween-related fun while reducing waste and educating residents about the advantages of composting food waste. Residents are welcome to drive through to drop off their pumpkins, or join in the smashing fun by tossing their pumpkins in the giant compost container. Note: please remove all non-biodegradable materials such as candles, plastic or metal decorations.
