It’s the Great Pumpkin Rescue, Charlie Brown! The Metropolitan Environmental Trust is holding the collection event all through November to let you recycle and compost pumpkins, gourds, and squashes. Director Graham Brannin says you CAN put them in the trash, but DON’T. He says it’s better to compost them and then use the compost to grow more pumpkins or gourds next year, giving them a sort of second life.
The drop-offs are at the Central Tulsa, Bixby, Broken Arrow, Sand Springs, and Owasso MET recycling centers.
