Pumpkin Smash 2025 in partnership with GroundsPRO

Instantly green your Halloween this year at our Pumpkin Smash!

Don’t trash it - smash it! Bring your old, rotting jack o'lanterns and SMASH them in our open-top dumpster.

Composting your pumpkin at Liberty Center is a simple, earth-friendly way to celebrate. Don't miss your chance to smash (recycle) your pumpkin in The Park.

All pumpkins will be then composted through our event partner, GroundsPRO!


Which items are acceptable?

We are accepting PUMPKINS ONLY. Pumpkins must not have non-biodegradable items on them such as: excess paint, glitter, googly eyes, stickers and candles. As the pumpkins are turned to compost, these items contaminate the compost.


Why compost Pumpkins?

Composting is nature’s way of recycling organic materials. It is a process that allows organic matter to decompose and form compost—a nutrient-rich soil amendment (said more plainly, a fabulous natural fertilizer). Composting organic materials provides many environmental benefits including: (1) reduces waste sent to landfills, (2) reduces greenhouse gas emissions, (3) reduces the amount of water in landfills, where it must be monitored to avoid groundwater contamination. Pumpkins are 90% water which is great for our soil, not so good in our landfills.
