Pumpkin Toss & Compost Drop-Offs
November 1 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
Join us Nov. 1 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for a Pumpkin Toss at the O’Fallon Park Rec Complex (4343 W Florissant Ave, St. Louis, MO 63115) parking lot. Residents may bring as many CLEAN pumpkins as they would like to compost for FREE. Pumpkins must be free of all glitter, paint, wax/candles, plastic, etc. Residents will toss their pumpkins as hard as they can into the provided pumpkin compost dumpster in order to break up the pumpkins into smaller pieces. This helps the composting process!
DROP-OFF SITES ARE FOR PUMPKINS ONLY.
After the event, pumpkins can be composted for free at these locations during park hours from Nov. 1-8:
- O’Fallon Park: Rec Complex (YMCA) 4343 W Florissant Ave, St. Louis, MO 63115, southwest corner of parking lot
- Carondelet Park: 3900 Holly Hills Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63116, Compost and Recycling area off of Holly Hills Drive
Please consider composting your pumpkins this year to keep beneficial organic material out of the landfill. Pumpkins are not accepted in city yard waste dumpsters or roll carts. If you do not have the opportunity to take your pumpkins to one of these drop-off locations, please bag your pumpkins and place them in your TRASH (Blue or Brown) alley dumpster or roll cart for solid waste disposal.
