Cities and counties are offering free post-Halloween pumpkin composting to keep organic waste out of landfills. St. Louis residents can bring clean pumpkins to a Nov. 1 toss event or use local drop-off options; Houston, Schaumburg and Oswego County also have designated collection sites and schedules. Across the programs, residents must remove decorations and other non-compostable materials, while some locations set limits or restrict participation to residents.
