Henderson County Convenience Center Pumpkin Composting
Henderson County -- November 1, 2024: Press Release: Between Halloween and Thanksgiving, there will be plenty of
jack-o-lanterns, pumpkins, and fall squash leftovers.
Help us to reduce waste in Henderson County by giving your pumpkins new life! Don’t let them meet a spooky end in the landfill- instead, they can be turned into a valuable soil amendment by bringing them to Henderson County Solid Waste! Henderson County Solid Waste operates a small, type 3 compost facility and from November 1st to December 6th, residents may bring leftover pumpkins and decorative squash to a special dumpster at the Henderson County Convenience Center where they will later be composted on-site.
