Instead of trashing your jack-o’-lantern this year, donate it

Once you’re done with your jack-o’-lantern, don’t toss it!

North Bay farms want your out-of-date decoration for composting and animal feed. The idea started last year, with people donating their pumpkins to Sebastopol’s Green Star Farm, as a way to cut down on food waste. While Green Star is once again accepting pumpkins, so are a number of other farms throughout the North Bay. ?To find the nearest place to make a drop, head to sfbay.cropmobster.com/dont-chuck-pumpkin.
