Pumpkin Smash Composting

Smash into sustainability at the Village of Hampshire’s first ever pumpkin collection event. Drive by and hand your pumpkin to a volunteer who will smash it into the roll-off dumpster! Fun Fact, Pumpkins are 90% water and produce a nutrient-dense soil amendment. Smash it, don’t trash it! This event will divert pumpkins from the landfill and be composted right here in Hampshire at Beans Farm. Grateful to Flood Brothers for donating the roll-off dumpster and transport. Event partners; SCARCE, Kane County, Illinois Food Scrap and Composting Coalition and Go Green Illinois.

*Pumpkins need to be free of decorations*
