Pumpkins for the planet 2025
In October our Pumpkins for the Planet blog post will be updated with a list of collection sites in Ottawa South that will accept pumpkins from Nov 1st to Nov 2nd at 3 pm.
Otherwise you can drop off to “Pumpkin Alley” (Ernie Calcutt Park at 759 Mooney’s Bay Place) at PumpkinFest on Nov 2 or until Wednesday November 5th at 5 p.m.
We are always looking for volunteers to load pumpkins between Nov 1 - Nov 5th and especially on Tuesday November 4th when 1-800-GOT-JUNK? will be filled to the brim with tasty pumpkins for four-legged friends.. If you are interested in helping, please fill in the intake form on our Pumpkins for the Planet page.
Please note: if there is not a collection location near you, to reduce emissions from travelling consider collecting your neighbours pumpkins and making a trip out of it, or simply put it into your municipal compost.
