Time once again to #compost those #pumpkins

Posted on November 2, 2025 by Charles Kuffner

"You know what to do.

The City of #HoustonTx Solid Waste Management Department, in partnership with Council Member #SallieAlcorn, is excited to announce the return of the 5th Annual #PumpkinCompostDropOff Program.

Don’t toss your pumpkins in the trash, compost them instead! From October 25 through November 29, Houston residents can drop off their used or unused pumpkins at two City of Houston facilities. All collected pumpkins will be transformed into nutrient-rich compost to help grow a greener Houston.

Please remove any candles, stickers, paint, or other non-pumpkin decorations before dropping off your pumpkins.

Last year’s event was a smashing success, diverting more than 25,260 pounds of pumpkins from Houston’s landfills, making it the most successful year yet. The city hopes to break that record in 2025 and divert even more #compostable material from the landfill.

'We’re proud to see Houstonians embracing composting and taking action to reduce waste,' said Director Larius Hassen, Director of Solid Waste Management 'It’s amazing to see how something as simple as a leftover pumpkin can help grow a more sustainable Houston'

'Pumpkins are everywhere, and I love seeing them. They get me excited for Halloween and Thanksgiving. And while pumpkin season is upon us, we know it won’t last forever. When your once-glorious pumpkin is ready to be retired, don’t throw it in the trash. Take advantage of the city’s pumpkin composting initiative. Turn your pumpkin into glorious compost to be used in city parks and green spaces,' said Council Member Sallie Alcorn.

Join us in turning holiday leftovers into something good for the earth. Together, we can make Houston cleaner, greener, and more sustainable, one pumpkin at a time.

Drop-off Locations:

City of Houston Reuse Warehouse
9003 N Main St, Houston, TX 77022
October 25th – November 29th
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Westpark Recycling Center
5900 Westpark, Houston, TX 77339
October 25th – November 29th
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Same as last year, more or less. You may find other options – as noted before, there’s a house in my neighborhood that collects them as feed for livestock – and that’s fine, pick what works best for you. Just don’t throw ’em in the trash, there’s no need for that."

I HAVE FINALLY FINISHED IT! Hooray! I definitely bit off more than I could chew with this still life, but I learned a lot while painting it.

What do you think?

The oblong pumpkins are also turning orange now! Almost 2 months since harvest. 🎃

Pumpkins lined up a metal shelf. The top row is five small round pumpkins that are completely orange. The bottom row is seven oblong pumpkins of varying sizes that are half green and half orange. The background is a yellow concrete wall and white wooden ceiling.

Photo of five large carved pumpkins on the steps in front of a blue, paneled exterior door in a brownstone building. The carvings are all images of a young, smiling bearded man (NYC’s new Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani) in various whimsical scenarios: as the face of the Statue of Liberty; as Santa Claus; ripping open his shirt Superman-style to reveal a big “Z” underneath.

Late post from our Jackolanterns from Halloween!

#Halloween #Kaiba #Jackolantern #Pumpkins #Fall #Family

Two jackolanterns on a door step with a pumpkin in the middle.

Oh, and I made my first baked pumpkin cheesecake this weekend. Which is the first cheesecake I've ever made too.

Even more shocking is that it tastes great.

I used the below recipe but with some slight modifications:

The sauce in mine is squeezy caramel sauce for icecream.

(PS the lighting in the shot isn't ideal but I'm not going to use a filter to try to make it look better than it did either).

Lol. I would remove the seeds before carving the pumpkin!

"Pumpkin season may be nearing its end, but there’s still one part worth savoring. Before you toss that pumpkin on your porch, scoop out the seeds! Pumpkin seeds provide tons of essential nutrients, and when roasted, they make for an easy and versatile treat that you can crunch on, sprinkle on top of yogurt, or toss into salads. We spoke with registered dietitians to learn more about the surprising health benefits of pumpkin seeds and the simple and flavorful roasting recipes you can enjoy all year round."
