The 3rd Annual Pumpkin Smash is BACK 🎃🍩🌍
You are invited to bring your Halloween pumpkins, so long as they are not painted nor covered in stickers, to our frighteningly fun PUMPKIN SMASH!
At least year’s event, we diverted 145lb of pumpkin away from landfills. Help us SMASHHH that weight this year!
All pumpkin guts will go home with @neighborhoodcompost to their New Jersey compost pile, and become healthy soil rather than sitting in landfills. We love Doing Good!
We will have trash bags for a fun waterfront cleanup, free @dogood_donuts and other local good-for-the-earth, goodies! Save the date, tell all your spooky friends and let’s smash our pumpkins! It really is quite cathartic 🤭 and the kiddos love it, too.
