Saturday, November 4 from 1-4pm (Rain date: November 5). Newton City Hall War Memorial Circle (1000 Commonwealth Ave., Newton).
What will you do with your pumpkin after Halloween? You could put it in with your yard waste, but how much more fun would it be to “green your Halloween” and smash it? Pumpkins will be flung, tossed and smashed in various ways, including with machines made by the Newton Ligerbots, Newton’s high school robotics team.
This family friendly event takes our orange pumpkins and turns them “green.” All our smashed pumpkins will be composted, thus reducing waste and greenhouse gas emissions and creating a valuable amendment for our soils.
Remember to:
- Remove any candles or decorations from your pumpkin (paint is okay)
- Bring excess candy to be donated
- Donate unwanted costumes and maybe find next year’s at our Costume Swap
It’s going to be a smashing good time! Share with friends and neighbors: Pumpkin Smash event page on Facebook
Save time: Pre-register for the event now. (Same day registration is also available.)
