Burnsville Residents: Compost Your Pumpkins at Eagan Community Center Nov. 5

After Halloween has come and gone, don’t be haunted by what to do with the old pumpkin. Instead

of throwing Mr. Jack-o-Lantern in the trash, residents of Eagan, Burnsville and Apple Valley can
drop off their pumpkins during a free, one-day-only compost collection event.

The event will again fall on the Saturday after Halloween, so just carve out a little time in your
schedule and stop on by. Pumpkins brought to this drop-off event will be transported to a special
organics recycling facility, according to a news release.

All candle wax must be removed and painted pumpkins will not be accepted. Participants will also
receive a free prize.

What: Pumpkin Composting
Where: Eagan Community Center (southwest parking lot) 1501 Central Parkway, Eagan
When: Saturday, Nov. 5 | 9 a.m. to noon
Cost: FREE

This event is coordinated by Dakota Valley Recycling (cities of Apple Valley, Burnsville and
Eagan).
