Pumpkin Smash

Help keep pumpkins out of landfills by participating in the Annual River Forest Pumpkin Smash, Saturday, 11/6, 9AM - Noon at Roosevelt Middle School on the corner of Oak and Jackson. Last year, River Forest composted 805 pumpkins - let’s smash that record in 2021! Please encourage friends, family, neighbors to compost instead of trashing, which helps reduce greenhouse gases. Residents are encouraged to wear a mask and observe social distancing when dropping off pumpkins. The Pumpkin Smash is hosted by the D90 Green4Good Team with support from Lakeshore Recycling Services.
