Pumpkin Smash 2026

Bring your pumpkins, gourds, and jack-o’-lanterns to LES Ecology Center’s PUMPKIN SMASH! You smash them, and we’ll turn them into compost for City parks and green spaces! Enjoy fun family-friendly activities and light refreshments! Still edible? Find a tasty recipe that utilizes the entire pumpkin! Can’t make it? Drop off your pumpkin at one of our food scrap drop-off sites. FREE and open to all ages! Registration recommended, but drop-ins are always welcome. Light rain or shine. Inclement weather date: Sun. 11/15. We’ll post updates on social media and our website.
