With the candy collected, the monsters mashed and the ghouls gone, Arlingtonians are anticipating trash day so that Halloween haunts us no longer.
This year, however, there is an option for getting rid of one Halloween staple in a decidedly un-scary, eco-friendly way: Arlington residents can drop off their pumpkins for composting on Saturday.
Arlington County’s Solid Waste Bureau will be accepting pumpkins for composting as part of its free monthly services on Saturday, November 4 at the Earth Products Recycling Yard (4300 29th Street S.) from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The service is for county residents only, not businesses or other commercial establishments. Anyone wanting to drop off their pumpkin must remove any decorations, candles or paint beforehand.
Residents can also have up to two boxes of paper shredded, including checks and checkbooks, and can drop off the following inert materials:
- Asphalt
- Ceramic tile
- Concrete
- Earth
- Masonry block
- Rock
- Sand
Only a small pickup truck load or three cubic yards of material can be accepted. Brush material is not accepted.
