PHOENIX, Ariz. (RFD-TV) — A nonprofit is giving leftover Halloween pumpkins a second life by turning them into compost or feed for farm and rescue animals.
Lauren Click, founder of Let’s Go Compost, joined us on Friday’s Market Day Report to discuss the initiative.
In her conversation with RFD-TV, Click says the organization works with more than 750 schools, libraries, and community groups nationwide to promote composting and reduce food waste.
Click says roughly 80% of pumpkins purchased this year will end up in landfills. She encourages people to contact local farms about donating pumpkins or explore composting options, provided they are free of paint and plastic.
