Pumpkin Pitch 2024
November 2 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
Join the Village and Go Green Wilmette for the Pumpkin Pitch! Pitch your pumpkins on November 2 and November 9 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Village Hall (1200 Wilmette Avenue) and Centennial Park (2300 Old Glenview Road) parking lots.
This event, coordinated by SCARCE, helps to reduce landfill greenhouse gas emissions from decomposing organics. Pumpkins are 90% water and produce a useful, nutrient-rich organic product, which helps to restore eroded and nutrient-depleted soils.
Please remember to remove candles and decorations from your pumpkins before composting. Please contact the Public Works Department at 847-853-7500 or pubworks@wilmette.com for more information.
