What To Do With Rotting Pumpkins

BALDWIN PARK, CA — Did you carve your pumpkin too early? We did. In fact, this year, we made the best batch of pumpkin seeds ever followed by a friendly family pumpkin carving contest. But in the heat of October, the poor guy didn't last too long.

Waste Management, CR & R and city governments wanted to remind you to get rid of that squishy, liquefying mass of pumpkin goo by placing it--super-carefully so it doesn't explode pumpkin guts all over you--inside that greens-designated waste bin.

"On trash day, we'll take it away," they said over social media. Isn't that simple?

So be sure to grab another pumpkin and carve it with the family and when the sad little guy's time comes, give him a proper green-lid waste can burial.

Happy Halloween, and have a safe night of Trick or Treating.
