🌱 After the Fun: Where to Compost Your Pumpkin in Winnipeg
Once the last chocolate bar is eaten and the costumes are packed away, don’t toss your pumpkin in the garbage! Winnipeg offers several sustainable options for composting:
City of Winnipeg Leaf & Yard Waste Collection – You can place your pumpkins out with your yard waste for curbside pickup (just be sure to remove candles, wax, paint, or decorations). Check the City’s collection schedule to see when pickups are happening in your area.
Drop-off Depots – Bring your pumpkins to one of the City’s leaf and yard waste depots, located at Brady Road, Panet Road, or Pacific Avenue.
Compost at Home – If you compost in your backyard, pumpkins break down beautifully! Cut them into smaller pieces and add them to your bin for nutrient-rich soil next spring.
